Fathom Holdings and Neighborhood Intelligence Announce Proposed Restructured Transaction Focused on Real Estate and Digital Assets
Fathom Holdings Inc. and Neighborhood Intelligence, Inc. agreed to explore a Proposed Alternative Transaction in which NXH would contribute digital asset holdings, principally its approximately 38.8% direct and indirect ownership interest in tZERO, to Fathom in exchange for newly issued Fathom shares. The companies say the contributed digital assets would be ascribed no less than $130 million in value and NXH is expected to maintain a controlling interest in Fathom if the transaction is completed.
Transaction terms and assets contributed
Under the Proposed Alternative Transaction, Neighborhood Intelligence (NXH) would contribute its approximately 38.8% direct and indirect ownership interest in tZERO Group, Inc., Medici-related fund assets, and its direct investment in GrainChain, Inc. to Fathom. The companies stated the contributed digital assets would be ascribed no less than $130 million in value, driven principally by NXH’s tZERO interest, and that value would be reflected through issuance of newly issued Fathom shares to NXH. The final share count and the allocation of newly issued shares are to be determined in definitive agreements.
