Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

The Company previously disclosed that it had entered into an Independent Director Agreement (the “Ritter Director Agreement”) with Ira E. Ritter. In connection with Mr. Ritter’s resignation from the Company’s Board of Directors, as described in Item 5.02 below, the Company terminated the Ritter Director Agreement.

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

As previously disclosed, on March 2, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with UMBRLA, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“UMBRLA”), a diversified cannabis company with distribution, manufacturing and dispensary operations, Phoenix Merger Sub Corp., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Dallas Imbimbo, as the stockholder representative for the UMBRLA stockholders. Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions described in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub would be merged with and into UMBRLA (the “Merger”), with UMBRLA surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

On July 1, 2021, the Merger was completed. Pursuant to Articles of Merger (the “Articles of Merger”) filed by the Company with the Nevada Secretary of State, which became effective upon filing on July 1, 2021 (the “Effective Time”), Merger Sub was merged with and into UMBRLA. As a result of the Merger, UMBRLA became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. At the Effective Time, each share of UMBRLA common stock outstanding was converted into the right to receive 1.5386 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Merger Consideration”). Accordingly, as of the Effective Time, the Company reserved 215,197,455 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to the Merger Agreement in reliance on an exemption from registration under Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

As described in Item 5.03 below, following the Merger, the Company changed its name from “Terra Tech Corp.” to “Unrivaled Brands, Inc.”

 

The foregoing description of the Merger is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Articles of Merger, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1, and the Agreement and Plan of Merger, included as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on March 3, 2021, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The information set forth in Item 2.01 above relating to the Merger Consideration is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On July 1, 2021, Ira E. Ritter resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors and all committees of the Board of Directors on which he served. Such resignation was not the result of a disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

 

Effective as of the Effective Time, the size of the Company’s Board of Directors was increased to five directors.

 

Upon the Effective Time, the designees of UMBRLA pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Dallas Imbimbo and Eric Baum, were appointed to fill the vacancies created by the resignation of Ira E. Ritter and the increase in the size of the Company’s Board of Directors described above.

 

Messrs. Imbimbo and Baum and Mr. Kovacevich, the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, currently serve as directors of KushCo Holdings, Inc. (OTCQX: KSHB), which specializes in the sale of a wide variety of ancillary products and services to customers operating in the regulated medical and adult recreational cannabis and hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) industries. Mr. Kovacevich is also the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of KushCo Holdings, Inc. The Company has engaged in, and in the future may from time to time engage in, ordinary course commercial transactions with KushCo Holdings, Inc. and pay or receive fees in connection with those transactions.

 

Other than as set forth above, there is no arrangement or understanding between any of Mr. Imbimbo or Mr. Baum and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director of the Company, and there are no family relationships between any of Mr. Imbimbo or Mr. Baum and any of the Company’s directors or executive officers. Other than as set forth above, there are no transactions to which the Company is a party and in which any of Mr. Imbimbo or Mr. Baum has a direct or indirect material interest that would be required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

 

The information set forth in the section entitled “Agreements with Directors” in Item 1.01 above is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

Effective July 7, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Name Change Merger Agreement”) with a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Name Change Merger Sub”) for the sole purpose of changing the corporate name of the Company from “Terra Tech Corp.” to “Unrivaled Brands, Inc.” (the “Name Change”). That same day, the Company filed Articles of Merger (the “Name Change Articles of Merger”) with the Nevada Secretary of State to effect the merger of Name Change Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation. As permitted by Section 92.A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, the sole purpose and effect of the filing of the Name Change Articles of Merger was to change the name of the Company to “Unrivaled Brands, Inc.” As a result of the filing of the Name Change Articles of Merger, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation were deemed amended to reflect the Name Change. With the exception of the Name Change, the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company in effect immediately prior to the effective time of the Name Change remain the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company.

 

In connection with the Name Change, the ticker symbol for the Company’s common stock will be officially changed from “TRTC” to “UNRV” (the “Symbol Change”) effective as of the open of the market on July 8, 2021. The common stock will continue to be quoted on the OTC Markets Group’s OTCQX tier. The Name Change resulted in a change to the CUSIP number for the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. The new CUSIP number for such common stock is 91532E105. Outstanding stock certificates for shares of the Company continue to be valid and need not be exchanged.

 

The foregoing description of the Name Change is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Name Change Merger Agreement and the Name Change Articles of Merger, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 2.2 and Exhibit 3.2, respectively.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.
