ITEM 9. OTHER EVENTS

Entry into Membership Interest Purchase Agreement

On April 8, 2022, Hightimes Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” of “Hightimes”), entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Courtney Zalewski, as manager of The Mezz La Brea, LLC, a California limited liability company (“The Mezz”), and the holders of a majority-in-interest of the issued and outstanding membership interests in The Mezz (collectively, “Sellers”). The Mezz operates a cannabis consumption lounge in West Hollywood, California, pursuant to a Commercial Cannabis License from the City of West Hollywood and a Cannabis Adult-Use and Medicinal License issued by the State of California. Under the Purchase Agreement, the Sellers agreed to sell all of their membership interests in The Mezz for an aggregate purchase price of $6,000,000, which consideration was paid to the Sellers, on a pro rata basis, as follows: (i) $1,500,000 in convertible promissory notes and (ii) $4,500,000 of Hightimes Class A common stock. In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a consulting agreement (the “Management Services Agreement”) and lock-up agreements with the Sellers, as well as other assignment agreements related to the assignment of the Sellers’ membership interests. Closing on the Purchase Agreement remains subject to certain terms and conditions, including obtaining regulatory approvals from the City of West Hollywood and the California Department of Cannabis Control (the “CDCC”) for the transfer control of The Mezz’s cannabis licenses from the Sellers to Hightimes.

Pending receipt of the required regulatory approvals, the Company has entered into a Management Services Agreement, dated May 6, 2022, with The Mezz pursuant to which the Company will provide certain management and administrative support services to The Mezz. As consideration for the Company’s performance under the Management Services Agreement, the Company will receive all of the income from The Mezz’s operations, minus The Mezz’s expenses, during the period the Management Services Agreement is in effect. The Management Services Agreement shall be effective from the date of signing until the CDCC approves the Company’s request for a change of ownership reflecting the Company as the owner of The Mezz.

In furtherance of the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into an Amendment to Lease Agreement (the “Lease Amendment”), dated as of May 5, 2022, with Metro Star LLC, a California limited liability company, and Star Alliance LLC, a California limited liability company (Metro Star LLC and Star Alliance LLC are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Lessor”) and Flore Flora LLC dba Flore, a California limited liability company, of which The Mezz is the sole member (“Flore”). The parties entered into the Lease Amendment to settle $1,073,727 of back rent (the “Back Rent”) owed by Flore to Lessor under a lease agreement originally dated April 5, 2019 (the “Lese Agreement”). Under the terms of the Lease Amendment, the Company agreed to pay $200,000 to Lessor in full satisfaction of the Back Rent owed, and to pay, or cause The Mezz to pay, an additional security deposit in the amount of $126,624 to Lessor as a security deposit, plus $42,208 in rent for the month of May 2022.

A copy of the Purchase Agreement, the Management Services Agreement, the Lease Amendment and the Lease Agreement are attached as Exhibits 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
