2.Please refer to the second paragraph and the disclosure that "the remaining Brand Income
available under Baron’s player contract with the Broncos will be $2,297,620, none of
which is guaranteed. Baron’s contract with the Broncos will expire in 2025." Please
revise to quantify the amounts that the Series BDBR would be entitled to based upon the
current Brand Agreement over the remaining term of the existing contract. Consider
adding a chart or some other clear presentation so that investors can clearly understand the
amounts payable to the Series BDBR per year under the Brand Agreement and any
existing player contracts.
General
3.Please provide your analysis as to whether the Brand Agreement with Baron Browning,
including your right to receive 1% of Baron Browning's future gross sports income as a
professional football player in the NFL, are “investment securities” as defined in Section
3(a)(2) of the Investment Company Act. In your response, please include any relevant
case law, no-action letters or other authorities.
4.We note your disclosure on page 20 that "[t]he Company is not registered and will not be
registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of
1940." Please provide your analysis as to whether Series BDBR may be considered an
“investment company” under the Investment Company Act and, if so, whether any
exemptions or exclusions may be applicable. In your response, please cite to any case law,
no-action letters or other authorities that you believe may be relevant. Please revise your
risk factor entitled "If the Company is required to register under the Investment Company
Act . . . " as appropriate to include a more detailed discussion of such risk and related
analysis.
Please contact Brian Fetterolf at 202-551-6613 or Donald Field at 202-551-3680 with any
questions.
Sincerely,
