NOTE 11 - NOTES PAYABLE

Notes payable as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 consisted of the following:

Amendments of Promissory Note Related to People's California, LLC

On March 6, 2023, the Company entered into a binding settlement term sheet ("Settlement Term Sheet") to resolve pending litigation matters with People’s California, LLC, whereby the parties agreed to amend the terms of that certain secured promissory note ("Original Note"), issued by the Company to People's California, LLC on November 22, 2021. The Original Note was amended and restated into two secured promissory notes: a $3.00 million note ("$3M Note") and a $20.00 million note ("Settlement Note"). The $3M Note accrues simple interest at 10.0% annually, interest payable monthly in cash, and principal is due 180 days after effective date of the Settlement Term Sheet.

The Settlement Note accrues interest at 5.0% for the first 180 days, and 10.0% thereafter, interest is paid in cash (or the Company’s common stock based on the 10-day volume-weighted average price ("VWAP") at the date of issuance) starting 180 days after the effective date of the Settlement Term Sheet and on the first of the month thereafter. The amount of $5.00 million of principal is due in cash within 90 days of the effective date of the Settlement Term Sheet with the balance due on the fifth anniversary of the effective date of the Settlement Term Sheet, which is March 6, 2028. When the $5.00 million principal payment for the Settlement Note and the $3.00 million payment under the $3M Note are paid (“Up-front Settlement”) in accordance with the Settlement Term Sheet, People's California, LLC will be obligated to transfer the Riverside and Costa Mesa licenses and stores to the Company as described in that certain membership interest purchase agreement, dated as of November 22, 2021, with People's California, LLC for no additional consideration.

After the first $5.00 million principal payment on the Settlement Note, principal payments made in cash prior to the first anniversary of the Settlement Term Sheet reduce the principal balance by twice the amount of the cash payment. The modification to the Company's promissory note under the Settlement Term Sheet was classified as troubled debt restructuring pursuant to ASC 470-60, "Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors" ("ASC 470-60") and the Company recorded a premium of $0.47 million. See "Note 18 - Commitments and Contingencies" for details on the related litigation matters.

On May 17, 2023, the Company amended the Settlement Term Sheet wherein the maturity date of the $3M Note was extended to December 6, 2023 and payments of the $5.00 million portion of the Up-front Settlement was extended through September 6, 2023, with $0.80 million being due and paid in cash on May 18, 2023. In addition, the Company shall make an additional $2.20 million principal repayment on or before July 6, 2023. Monthly interest payments were amended to provide the Company with the option to pay 50% of interest in the form of registered shares of common stock. Further, upon payment of the $0.80 million on May 18, 2023, People's California, LLC shall transfer the Riverside and Costa Mesa licenses and stores to the Company for no additional consideration. Such assets have not been transferred to the Company as of June 30, 2023 and the Company has not recorded a debt premium for the contingent free assets. The amendment to the Settlement Term Sheet was classified as a troubled debt restructuring pursuant to ASC 470-60.

On July 10, 2023, the Company received a notice of breach and demand to cure from People's California, LLC in respect of the Settlement Term Sheet, as amended on May 17, 2023, wherein People’s California, LLC stated that the Company failed to make the principal repayment of $2.20 million on July 6, 2023 and a monthly interest payment of $25,000 for the month of June 2023. As a result, the promissory notes became callable by the creditor subsequent to the balance sheet date but before these consolidated financial statements are issued. Accordingly, the Company classified the long-term debt as current notes payable in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023. The Company is currently in ongoing discussions with People's California, LLC to renegotiate the debt.

Amendment of Promissory Notes Related to SilverStreak Acquisition

On March 23, 2023, the Company entered into a binding term sheet to modify the terms of the $2.00 million and $2.50 million unsecured promissory notes originally issued on October 1, 2021 in connection with that certain stock purchase agreement dated June 9, 2021 and amended on July 13, 2021, which reduced the principal to an aggregate of $1.25 million, with required monthly aggregate payments of approximately $0.03 million, interest of 10% per annum, and maturing on March 15, 2028 ("Notes Modification"). The parties also agreed that the Company shall be responsible for certain tax liabilities of approximately $0.53 million. The Notes Modification was classified as a troubled debt restructuring pursuant to ASC 470-60, "Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors," and the Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $3.03 million and reduced the carrying value of the promissory notes to total future cash payments of $1.59 million.

On April 30, 2023, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) as definitive documentation of the binding term sheet dated March 23, 2023 related to the unsecured promissory notes issued on October 1, 2021 in connection with the acquisition of SilverStreak Solutions, Inc.

2018 Master Securities Purchase Agreement and Convertible Promissory Notes

In March 2018, the Company entered into the 2018 Master Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor pursuant to which the Company sells to the accredited investor 7.5% Senior Convertible Promissory Notes in eight tranches averaging $5.00 million, for a total of $40.00 million. The Company converted $1.98 million of convertible notes into the Company’s common stock during the year ended December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, $3.45 million and $3.50 million of principal remains outstanding, respectively.

For each note issued under the 2018 Master Securities Purchase Agreement, the principal and interest due and owed under the note is convertible into shares of Common Stock at any time at the election of the holder at a conversion price per share equal to the lower of (i) the original conversion price as defined in each note issuance or (ii) 87% of the average of the two lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock in the thirteen (13) trading days prior to the conversion date (“Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment for (i) stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, or similar events and (ii) full ratchet anti-dilution protection. Upon certain events of default, the conversion price will automatically become 70% of the average of the three (3) lowest volume weighted average prices of the Common Stock in the twenty (20) consecutive trading days prior to the conversion date for so long as such event of default remains in effect.

In addition, at any time that (i) the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the prior ten (10) consecutive trading days is $10.50 or more and (ii) the average daily trading value of the Common Stock is greater than $2.50 million for the prior ten (10) consecutive trading days, then the Company may demand, upon one (1) days’ notice, that the holder convert the notes at the Conversion Price.

The Company may prepay in cash any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the notes and any accrued and unpaid interest by, upon ten (10) days’ written notice to the holder, paying an amount equal to (i) 110% of the sum of the then-outstanding principal amount of the notes plus accrued but unpaid interest, if the prepayment date is within 90 days of the issuance date of the notes; (ii) 115% of the sum of the then-outstanding principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest, if the prepayment date is between 91 days and 180 days of the issuance date of the notes; or (iii) 125% of the sum of the then-outstanding principal amount of the notes plus accrued but unpaid interest, if the prepayment date is after 180 days of the issuance date of the notes.

Amendment of Existing Senior Convertible Promissory Notes and Securities Purchase Agreement

On January 25, 2021, the Company entered into several agreements with an accredited investor (the “Lender”) that holds the promissory notes under the 2018 Securities Purchase Agreement. The amendments, among other things, (1) extended the maturity date of the June 2019 Note from January 26, 2021 to December 31, 2022 and (2) extended the maturity date of the October 2019 Note from April 21, 2021 to December 31, 2022. In connection with the Note Amendments, the Company issued to the Lender warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Old Note Warrants”) at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Old Note Warrants are exercisable at any time before the close of business on June 25, 2026. The Old Note Warrants contain cashless exercise provisions and, to the extent not previously exercised, will be automatically exercised via cashless exercise on June 25, 2026.

In conjunction with the above amendments, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Purchasers $3.50 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s senior convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”), exercisable at any time before the close of business on June 25, 2026. The Warrants are comprised of 15,000,000 “A Warrants” with an exercise price of $0.01 per share and 15,000,000 “B Warrants” with an exercise price of $0.2284 per share.

The Notes, which are convertible into common stock at any time at the discretion of the respective Purchasers at a conversion price of $0.175 per share of common stock, will bear an interest rate of 3%. The Notes mature on or about July 24, 2022 unless accelerated due to an event of default. The Company has the right to prepay the Notes at any time upon 10 days’ prior notice to the Purchasers. If the Company elects to prepay the Notes, the Company must pay the respective Purchasers an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the sum of the then-outstanding principal amount of the Notes and all accrued but unpaid interest, multiplied by (ii) (x) 110%, if the prepayment date is within 90 days of the original issue date, (y) 115%, if the prepayment date is between 91 days and 180 days following the original issue date or (z) 125%, if the prepayment date is after the 180th day following the original issue date.

The Company can demand that the Purchasers convert the Notes at any time, on five calendar days’ notice, that (i) the daily dollar volume-weighted average price for the Company’s common stock for the prior five consecutive trading days is $0.30 or more and (ii) (1) the shares underlying the Notes have been registered with the SEC or (2) there is a fundamental transaction that has been announced by the Company.

The Notes contain standard and customary terms concerning events of default. Events of default include, among other things, any failure to make payments when due, failure to observe or perform material covenants or agreements contained in the Notes, a material default under the Securities Purchase Agreement or related transaction documents or any other material contract to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, the breach of any representation or warranty in the Notes or the Securities Purchase Agreement, the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the Company’s common stock not being eligible for listing or quotation on a trading market and not eligible to resume listing or quotation for trading within 5 trading days, the Company’s failure to meet the current public information requirements under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company’s failure to file required reports with the SEC, and the Company’s failure to maintain sufficient reserved shares for issuance upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants. If any event of default occurs, subject to any cure period, the full principal amount, together with interest (including default interest of 18% per annum) and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration shall become, at the Purchaser’s election, immediately due and payable in cash.

Management performed an analysis to determine the appropriate accounting treatment of the above transactions and concluded (1) a troubled debt restructuring had not occurred, and (2) as the total change in cash flows was greater than 10% of the carrying value of the debt, the transactions should be treated as a debt extinguishment for accounting purposes. A loss on extinguishment of debt of $5.98 million, equal to the difference between the carrying value of the old debt and the reacquisition price, was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2021.
