Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.





Note and Warrants Offering

On February 21, 2020, General Cannabis Corp (the "Company") issued and sold unsecured promissory notes (the "Unsecured Notes") with an aggregate principal amount of $2,006,000 to certain investors in exchange for $500,000 of new funding and the cancellation of outstanding indebtedness of $1,506,000 represented by prior promissory notes issued by the Company in September 2019.

The Unsecured Notes have an annual interest rate of 15% and mature on January 31, 2021. The Unsecured Notes provide that they shall be repaid in full out of the proceeds of any new debt or equity capital raise with net proceeds of more than $5,000,000. In connection with the issuance of the Unsecured Notes, each holder of Unsecured Notes received three warrants (i.e., a 2020 A Warrant, a 2020 B Warrant and a 2020 C Warrant) to acquire shares of Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price equal to $0.45 per share, with the number of shares subject to each warrant equal to one share for each $1.00 of principal amount of Unsecured Note issued to the noteholder. The 2020 A Warrants have an expiration date of December 31, 2020, the 2020 B Warrants have an expiration date of December 31, 2021, and the 2020 C Warrants have an expiration date of December 31, 2022 (collectively, the "Warrants"). By way of example, if an investor was issued an Unsecured Note with a principal amount of $250,000, such noteholder would receive a 2020 A Warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock, a 2020 B Warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock and a 2020 C Warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, the Company issued Warrants to purchase a total of 6,018,000 shares of Common Stock to the holders of Unsecured Notes. The foregoing descriptions of the Unsecured Notes and the Convertible Notes are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.

Convertible Note

The Company previously issued that certain Promissory Note, dated July 18, 2019, as amended (the "Original Note"), to SBI Investments LLC, 2014-1 ("SBI"), for the principal amount of $750,000. On February 18, 2020, the Company and SBI entered into a promissory note exchange agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") pursuant to which the Original Note was exchanged for a new convertible promissory note (the "Convertible Note"). The Convertible Note has a principal amount of $934,000, an interest rate of 10% per annum and a maturity date of February 18, 2021. The Convertible Note may be converted at the option of SBI into shares of Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to 80% of the Market Price (as defined in the Convertible Note); provided that the conversion price shall in no event be less than $0.45 per share (unless adjusted as provided in the Convertible Note). The foregoing descriptions of the Exchange Agreement and the Convertible Note are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.3 and 10.4 and are incorporated herein by reference.




SevenFive Farm Acquisition


On January 24, 2020, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Dalton Adventures, LLC (the "Seller"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire the assets of the Seller constitute the business of SevenFive Farm, a cultivation facility in Boulder, Colorado. The purchase price to be paid by the Company for the assets will be equal to 1.4 times the Seller's gross revenue for the 12-month period prior to the closing; provided that the purchase price will not be lower than $3,000,000. The Company will pay the purchase price by issuing to the Seller shares of common stock of the Company equal to the purchase price divided by the volume weighted average per share price of the Company's shares for 30 consecutive trading days ending on the second trading day prior to the closing (the "VWAP"); provided that if the VWAP exceeds $0.85 per share, then the VWAP will equal $0.85 per share for purposes of the foregoing calculation. The Company will make reasonable efforts to register the resale of the shares of common stock issued to the Seller. For a period of six months following the closing, the Seller has agreed not to sell any of the shares of the Company received at the closing. The Seller may require the Company to repurchase in cash 25% of the shares issued to the Seller at the closing at a repurchase price equal to the same VWAP used to determine the number of shares issued to the Seller at closing. The Seller shall have the option to require such repurchase during the period from the date of the one-year anniversary of the closing until two business days following the one-year anniversary of the closing. The closing is subject to approval of the transaction by the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division, as well as other customary closing conditions.
