Radiko Announces LVV Shareholders’ Decision to Cease Operations and Proceed With Winding-Up

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / April 13, 2021 / Radiko Holdings (CSE:RDKO) (the “Company“) announced today that La Vida Verde, Inc. (“LVV“), a company operating in California in which it has a 51% interest, has provided the Company with notices that: (a) the LVV shareholders have filed the stipulated judgment and claimed the approximately 16% of the shares of LVV that had been pledged by the Company as security for payment of additional capital commitment made by the Company pursuant to a settlement agreement dated April 21, 2020 (the “Settlement Agreement“), as disclosed in the Company’s press release dated April 22, 2020; and (b) the shareholders of LVV, excluding the Company, have resolved to sell all the assets of LVV, liquidate its inventory and equipment, assign its related party leases and terminate all its employees and initiate proceedings for the winding-up and dissolution of LVV.

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the deal with LVV was restructured and the Company renewed its commitment to invest a total of US$700,000 in the capital of LVV (the “Capital Investment“) over the course of the ensuing months, with the final payment US$300,000 to be made by September 30, 2020. The Company paid a total of US$150,000, under the Capital Investment but ceased to make any further payments. LVV has struggled with its operations and distribution through COVID, however, the Company was optimistic the issues could be resolved. Negotiations following the Settlement Agreement with the principals of LVV relating to the Company’s concerns around LVV’s operations have not proved to be fruitful. The actions by the LVV shareholders have been taken despite a requirement in a unanimous shareholders’ agreement that requires approval from 75% of the shareholders (which was not approved by the Company). While the Company disputes the ability for the LVV shareholders to seize the 16% pledged pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, even with such seizure, the actions to cease operations and proceed with winding-up and dissolution require the approval of the Company.

Steve Gormley commented: “We are extremely disappointed with the latest actions taken by the other LVV shareholders. The Settlement Agreement was meant to be a fresh start for the parties and it has not met our expectations.”

The Company is currently assessing its legal options in the face of these actions, however, the cessation of operations by LVV is expected to have a material adverse impact on the business of the Company.
