For the past three years since they acquired the company, they have been using the cost method to account for the transaction. This meant that they recorded the original cost of the investment but couldn't record any revenue. The only change they could record would have been any dividend that was paid, and Vapolution was never in any position to pay a dividend.
With the settlement, mCig gained 100% control of Vapolution. They are no longer required to use the cost method to account for the investment. It is now a wholly owned subsidiary. Consequently, they had to liquidate the accounting for it as a separate investment. What this means is that they can now record all costs and revenues for their investment. Vapolution, Inc is still owned by mCig. Only the way it's accounted for has changed.
