Assets Divested

Blum Santa Ana

On February 26, 2020, the Company agreed to transfer governance and control of our dispensary operation located at 2911 Tech Center Drive, Santa Ana, CA to Martin Vivero and Tetra House Co. (“Tetra”), who are unaffiliated third parties. The company received $2.00 million at closing and is due future payments of $1.80 million, which are reflected within assets of continuing operations. MediFarm So Cal Inc. (“MediFarm So Cal”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, terminated the existing management services agreement with 55 OC Community Collective Inc. (“55 OC”). 55 OC is a mutual benefit corporation which holds a cannabis license with the City of Santa Ana in the State of California. Previously, MediFarm So Cal managed the dispensary known as “Blum Santa Ana” under the license of 55 OC. Control of 55 OC was transferred to Mr. Vivero and Tetra House Co. via a new management services agreement and the appointment of Mr. Vivero to the Board of Directors of 55 OC, which was pending final regulatory approval as of the date of our report.

The Company recognized a loss upon sale of the assets equal to the difference between the consideration paid and the book value of the assets as of the disposition date, less direct costs to sell, and reflected such loss in discontinued operations.

The first option gives the Company the right to purchase a 10% interest in the Purchaser for one dollar at any time between the one and five-year anniversary of the transaction, or at any time should a change in control event or public offering occur. The second option gives the Company the right to purchase an additional 10% interest in the Purchaser for one dollar at any point prior to the five-year anniversary of the transaction. The second option is automatically terminated upon payment in full of the $3.00 million secured promissory note.
