Item 1- Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 23, 2020, a subsidiary of Hightimes Holdings Corp. (“Hightimes” or the “Company”) entered into an contingent stock purchase agreement to acquire the equity of Mountain High Recreation, Inc. (“Mountain High”), a business that engages in the delivery of cannabis and cannabis products in the State of California. If and when acquired, Mountain High will allow the Company to deliver cannabis and cannabis products in Northern California and other locations in the State.

 

The delivery business of Mountain High was valued by the parties to the purchase agreement at $2,800,000 of which $100,000 will be paid in cash and the balance by delivery of 245,455 shares of Hightimes Common Stock, which upon consummation of our previously announced contemplated 11-for-1 stock split will become 2,700,000 shares. In addition, for a period of 18 months following the closing, Hightimes agreed to pay to the current stockholders of Mountain High a 3% royalty on the net sales price of all cannabis and related cannabis products sold and delivered by Mountain High, up to a maximum amount of royalty payments not to exceed $200,000. At closing, the two stockholders of Mountain High will enter into two-year employment agreements with Mountain High, each of which provide for a base salary of $125,000 per annum plus bonus as determined by the Board of Directors of Mountain High and options to purchase 385,000 shares of Hightimes Common Stock which shall vest over a three-year period.

 

Consummation of the acquisition of Mountain High is subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including our obtaining the approval from Hightimes’ senior secured lender and approvals of Bureau of Cannabis Control of the State of California (“BCC”) as well as the City of Sacramento, California where Mountain High is located, to the change of ownership of Mountain High. There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such approval or otherwise consummating the Mountain High acquisition.

 

The foregoing summary of the terms of the contingent purchase agreement is qualified in its entity by the definitive agreement annexed to this Form 1-U as Exhibit 6.1 which are incorporated by this reference herein.

 

On June 30, 2020, Hightimes published a press release regarding the above transaction. A copy of such press release is attached to this Form 1-U Current Report as Exhibit 15.1.

 

ITEM 9. OTHER EVENTS

 

Extension of Regulation A+ Offering and Termination Date

 

On June 29, 2019, Hightimes elected to extend the outside termination date of its Regulation A+ public offering (the “Offering”) from June 30, 2020 until as late as September 30, 2020. Accordingly, the Offering will terminate on the first to occur of (i) the date on which all 4,545,454 shares of Hightimes Class A voting common stock (“Class A Common Stock”) are sold, (ii) September 30, 2020, or (iii) such earlier termination date as deemed appropriate by Hightimes’s management (in each case, the “Termination Date”). In conjunction with the extension of the Termination Date, Hightimes has updated the form of investor subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) for the Offering to (i) reflect the extended Termination Date and (ii) direct investors to this Current Report on Form 1-U, which supplements disclosures contained in Hightimes’ Offering Circular. In addition, inasmuch as Hightimes is extending the Termination Date of the Offering to as late as September 30, 2020, it will also extend the date of filing its approved restated certificate of incorporation to implement the previously announced 11-for-1 forward stock split to a date immediately following the revised Termination Date.

 

The updated form of Subscription Agreement filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 1-U and any summary of the terms of such document is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of such documents, which are incorporated herein by reference.

 

The information contained herein shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall the information be deemed incorporated by reference into any of our Securities and Exchange Commission filings, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing. The furnishing of the information in this Current Report on Form 1-U constitutes material investor information that is not otherwise publicly available.
