Corporate Reorganization

 

On January 12, 2024, Unrivaled Brands, Inc. (“Unrivaled”) completed a corporate reorganization (the “Reorganization”) pursuant to which Blum Holdings, Inc. became the ultimate parent of Unrivaled. As part of the Reorganization, Unrivaled entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 9, 2023 (the “Reorganization Agreement”), with Blüm and Blum Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blüm (“Merger Sub”), in which, among other things and subject to its terms and conditions, as described below, that Merger Sub merged with and into Unrivaled, with the separate existence of Merger Sub ceasing and with Unrivaled surviving as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Blüm. After the Reorganization, the Company continues to engage in the business conducted by it prior to the Reorganization and the directors and executive officers of Unrivaled continued to serve in the same capacities for Blüm.

 

The Reorganization Agreement provides that at the effective time of the Reorganization, on January 12, 2024, all of the issued and outstanding shares of Unrivaled’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share were converted automatically on a one-for-one basis into shares of Blüm’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and all of the issued and outstanding shares of Unrivaled’s Series V preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, were converted on a one-for-one basis into shares of Blüm’s respective classes of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. On February 12, 2024, the Company began trading as "BLMH" on the OTCQB.

 

Additionally, effective  January 12, 2024, (x) each outstanding option to purchase shares of Unrivaled's common stock (a “Company Option”) was converted automatically into a stock option to purchase an identical number of shares of Blüm common stock, (y) each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of Unrivaled's common stock (a “Company Warrant”) was converted automatically into a warrant to purchase an identical number of shares of Blüm common stock, and (z) each outstanding promissory note convertible into shares of Unrivaled's common stock (a “Company Note”) was automatically converted into a promissory note convertible into an identical number of shares of Blüm common stock, in each case, on the same terms and conditions as applied to the Company Option, Company Warrant and Company Note, respectively, immediately prior to the effective date and as set forth in the documentation relating to such Company Option, Company Warrant and Company Note.

 

Effective January 12, 2024, Unrivaled Brands, Inc. completed a reverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio of 1-for-100 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). As a result of the Reorganization, the current stockholders of Unrivaled became stockholders of Blüm with the same number and percentage of shares of Blüm as they held in Unrivaled immediately prior to the Reorganization, subject to any changes from the implementation of the Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect this Reverse Stock Split and adjustment of the preferred stock conversion ratios.
