1. BUSINESS ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Organization and Operations

 

Through its subsidiaries, Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc. (“Company”, “GGH”), a Delaware corporation that was incorporated on April 5, 1999, currently invests in, develops, and operates a collection of luxury assets, including real estate development, fine wines, and a boutique hotel in Argentina, as well as an e-commerce platform for the sale of high-end fashion and accessories.

 

As wholly owned subsidiaries of GGH, InvestProperty Group, LLC (“IPG”), Algodon Global Properties, LLC (“AGP”) and Gaucho Ventures I – Las Vegas, LLC (“GVI”) 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. GGH 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. (“GDS”). GVI is a party to an agreement with LVH Holdings (“LVH”) to develop a project in Las Vegas, Nevada.

 

On February 3, 2022, the Company acquired additional real estate through the acquisition of 100% ownership in Hollywood Burger Argentina S.R.L., now Gaucho Development S.R.L.

 

GGH also manufactures, distributes, and sells high-end luxury fashion and accessories through its subsidiary, Gaucho Group, Inc. (“GGI”). GGH held a 79% ownership interest in GGI through March 28, 2022, at which time GGH acquired the remaining 21% ownership interest in GGI. See Non-Controlling Interest, below.

 

Non-Controlling interest

 

As a result of a 2019 conversion of certain convertible debt into shares of Gaucho Group, Inc. (“GGI”) common stock, GGI investors obtained a 21% ownership interest in GGI, which was recorded as a non-controlling interest. The profits and losses of GGI for the period from January 1, 2022 through March 28, 2022 are allocated between the controlling interest and the non-controlling interest in the same proportions as their membership interest. On March 28, 2022, the Company issued 86,899 shares of its common stock to the minority holders of GGI, in exchange for the remaining 21% ownership of GGI. Consequently, the Company owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of GGI.
