Through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Algodon Wines & Luxury Development Group, Inc. (“Company”, “Algodon Partners”, “AWLD”), a Delaware corporation that was incorporated on April 5, 1999, currently invests in, develops and operates international real estate projects.

As wholly-owned subsidiaries of AWLD, InvestProperty Group, LLC (“IPG”) and Algodon Global Properties, LLC (“AGP”) operate as holding companies that invest in, develop and operate global real estate and other lifestyle businesses such as wine production and distribution, golf, tennis, and restaurants. AWLD operates its properties through its ALGODON® brand. IPG and AGP have invested in two ALGODON® brand projects located in Argentina. The first project is Algodon Mansion, a Buenos Aires-based luxury boutique hotel property that opened in 2010 and is owned by the Company’s subsidiary, The Algodon – Recoleta, SRL (“TAR”). The second project is the redevelopment, expansion and repositioning of a Mendoza-based winery and golf resort property now called Algodon Wine Estates (“AWE”), the integration of adjoining wine producing properties, and the subdivision of a portion of this property for residential development. AWLD’s wholly owned subsidiary Algodon Europe, Ltd., is a United Kingdom wine distribution company.

Through December 31, 2016, AWLD’s wholly owned subsidiary, DPEC Capital, Inc. (“CAP”), was a broker-dealer registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) and cleared its securities transactions on a fully disclosed basis with another broker-dealer. CAP provided brokerage securities trading; private equity and venture capital investments; and advisory and other financial services to customers, including AWLD and certain related affiliates. On November 29, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors determined that it was in the Company’s best interest to close down CAP and the Company ceased its broker-dealer operations on December 31, 2016. On February 21, 2017, the Company’s request to FINRA for Broker-Dealer Withdrawal (“BDW”) became effective (see Note 4 – Discontinued Operations).

AWLD also owned approximately 96.5% of Mercari Communications Group, Ltd. (“Mercari”), a public shell corporation current in its SEC reporting obligations. On December 20, 2016 AWLD entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with a Purchaser, whereby the Purchaser agreed to purchase all of AWLD’s shares of Mercari for $260,000. The sale of Mercari stock was completed on January 20, 2017 and AWLD received net proceeds after expenses of $199,200.
