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.
