Yes, there are a few questions that Rich should clear up about Hooters deal. From S-1, we know that United owns the branding deal, not ICNB. And from same S-1, we know that the production and distribution of the products is also with United. Quote from S-1 below, but there is no mention of Iconic Brands or ICNB:
p.F-19 of S-1/4:
“(c) Brand Licensing Agreement relating to Hooters Marks
On July 23, 2018, United Spirits, Inc. (“United”) executed a Brand Licensing Agreement (the “Agreement”) Limited Partnership (“the Licensor”). The Agreement provides United a license to use certain “Hooters” Marks to manufacture, market, distribute, and sell alcoholic products.
The Initial Term of the Agreement is from July 23, 2018 through December 31, 2020. Provided that United is not in breach of any terms of the Agreement, United may extend the Term for an additional 3 years through December 31, 2023.
The Agreement provides for United’s payment of Royalty Fees (payable quarterly) to the Licensor equal to 6% of the net sales of the licensed products subject to a minimum royalty fee of $65,000 for Agreement year 1 (ending December 31, 2018), $255,000 for Agreement year 2, $315,000 for Agreement year 3 and 4, $360,000 for Agreement year 5, and $420,000 for Agreement year 6.”
