Recent Developments - Reorganization

 

On January 12, 2024, the Company completed its previously announced reorganization to establish a newly-formed Delaware corporation, Blum Holdings, Inc. (“Blüm”), as the ultimate parent of Unrivaled Brands, Inc. (the “Reorganization”). The Reorganization resulted in the Company becoming a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Blüm. The purpose of the Reorganization is to provide the Company with more strategic, organizational, operational and financial flexibility. The directors and executive officers of the Company will continue to serve in the same capacities for Blüm.

 

As part of the Reorganization, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 9, 2023 (the “Reorganization Agreement”), with Blüm, which is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Blum Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blüm (“Merger Sub”). The Reorganization Agreement provides, among other things and subject to its terms and conditions, as described below, that Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the separate existence of Merger Sub ceasing and with the Company surviving as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Blüm.

 

The Reorganization Agreement provides that at the effective time of the Reorganization, January 12, 2024 ("Effective Time"), each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Company Common Stock”), and the Company’s Series V preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Company Preferred Stock,” and together with the Company Common Stock, the “Company Shares”), but excluding any Company Shares held by stockholders of the Company who perfect their dissenters’ rights as provided in the Reorganization Agreement, automatically converted into one share of Blüm’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Blüm Common Stock”) and Blüm’s Series V preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Blüm Preferred Stock,” and together with the Blüm Common Stock, the “Blüm Shares”), respectively, without any further act or deed by the Company’s stockholders. Record ownership of Blüm shares will be kept in uncertificated, book-entry form by Blüm’s transfer agent.

 

The Reorganization Agreement further provides that at the Effective Time, the Company assigned to Blüm, and Blüm assumed and agreed to perform (1) all obligations of the Company pursuant to (a) the Terra Tech Corp. 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”), the Terra Tech Corp. Amended and Restated 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2018 Plan”), and the UMBRLA, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “UMBRLA Plan,” and together with the 2016 Plan and the 2018 Plan, the “Incentive Plans”), and (b) each award agreement entered into pursuant to the Incentive Plans, and (2) all obligations of the Company pursuant to any employment agreements entered into by the Company. Additionally, at the Effective Time, (x) each outstanding option to purchase shares of Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Time and as set forth in the documentation relating to such Company Option, Company Warrant and Company Note.

 

In connection with the Annual Meeting on December 5, 2023, the Unrivaled stockholders also approved a reverse stock split of Unrivaled’s common stock at a ratio of 1-for-100 (the “Reverse Stock Split”) effective January 12, 2024. 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.
