The information contained in Item 8.01 below is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On March 16, 2022, Medicine Man Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the signing of the Asset Purchase Agreement (as defined under Item 8.01). A copy of the press releases is furnished as Exhibits 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The information under Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and the press release attached as Exhibits 99.1 are being furnished by the Company pursuant to Item 7.01. In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information under Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section. In addition, this information shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any of the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing.

 

Item 8.01. Other Matters.

 

On March 11, 2022, the Company entered into an Asset and Personal Goodwill Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Double Brow, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Purchaser”), Urban Health & Wellness, Inc. d/b/a Urban Dispensary (“Urban Dispensary”), Productive Investments, LLC (“Productive Investments”), and Patrick Johnson (together with Productive Investments, the “Equityholders”), pursuant to which the Purchaser will purchase (i) all of Urban Dispensary’s assets used or held for use in Urban Dispensary’s business of owning and operating a retail marijuana store and a grow facility, each located in Denver, Colorado, and (ii) all of Equityholders’ personal goodwill arising from Equityholders’ independent, separate, individual and personal efforts relating to Urban Dispensary’s business on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase”), and assume obligations under contracts acquired as part of the Asset Purchase.

 

The aggregate consideration for the Asset Purchase will be up to $1,317,500 million in cash and shares of the Company’s common stock in an amount equal to $1,900,000 divided by the price per share of the Company’s common stock as of market close on the first trading day immediately before the closing. The Company will deposit $30,000 of the cash portion of the purchase price as an earnest money deposit with Urban Dispensary. At the closing, (i) the Company will use the cash portion of the purchase price to pay off certain indebtedness and transaction expenses of Urban Dispensary and then pay the balance to Urban Dispensary, and (ii) the Company will issue the stock portion of the purchase price directly to the Equityholders. The stock consideration is subject to post-closing reduction if any of the actual marijuana product inventory, marijuana plant inventory or cash at closing is less than certain targets stated in the Purchase Agreement. The Company will hold back $288,000 of the stock consideration at closing as collateral for potential claims for indemnification from Urban Dispensary under the Purchase Agreement. Any portion of the held back cash consideration not used to satisfy indemnification claims will be released to Urban Dispensary on the 18-month anniversary of the closing date of the Asset Purchase.

 

The Company will enter into lock-up agreements with the recipients of the stock consideration providing limitations on the resale of the shares of Company common stock received as part of the consideration.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions for a transaction of this nature, including, without limitation, covenants regarding the operation of Urban Dispensary’s business before the closing of the Asset Purchase, and confidentiality, non-compete and non-solicitation undertakings by Urban Dispensary and the Equityholders. The Purchase Agreement also contains certain termination rights for each of the Purchaser (on its own behalf and on behalf of the Company) and Urban Dispensary (on its own behalf and on behalf of the Equityholders), subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, if the closing has not occurred on or before June 15, 2022. The earnest money deposit will be released to Urban Dispensary if the Purchaser (on its own behalf or on behalf of the Company) terminates the Purchase Agreement under certain circumstances.

The closing of the Asset Purchase is subject to closing conditions customary for a transaction of this nature, including, without limitation, obtaining licensing approval from the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division and local regulatory authorities.

 

The issuances of the shares of the Company’s common stock at the closing of the Asset Purchase will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Securities Act Rule 506(b). The Company will issue such shares in a privately negotiated transaction. The Equityholders are sophisticated and represented in writing that they are accredited investors and will acquire the securities for their own accounts for investment purposes. Further, the Purchase Agreement states that the shares in question have not been registered under the Securities Act and cannot be sold or otherwise transferred without registration or an exemption therefrom. A legend will be placed on any certificates representing such shares referencing the restricted nature of the shares.
