Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On November 17, 2021, Medifarm III, LLC (“Medifarm”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Unrivaled Brands, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with NuLeaf, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“NuLeaf”). Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions described in the Purchase Agreement, Medifarm will sell its fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding membership interests of each of NuLeaf Reno Production, LLC (“NuLeaf Reno”) and NuLeaf Sparks Cultivation, LLC (“NuLeaf Sparks”) to NuLeaf, which currently owns the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the membership interests of NuLeaf Reno and NuLeaf Sparks, for aggregate consideration of $6,500,000 in cash (the “Transaction”).

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants relating to obtaining requisite regulatory approvals, and indemnification provisions. The closing of the Transaction is subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions including, among other things, (i) the accuracy of the representations and warranties, subject to certain materiality qualifications, (ii) compliance by the parties with their respective covenants, (iii) receipt of all regulatory approvals necessary to consummate the Transaction, (iv) the consummation of transactions contemplated by an Agreement and Plan of Merger among affiliates of NuLeaf and certain third parties, and (v) no law or order preventing the Transaction. The Purchase Agreement includes customary termination rights for Medifarm and NuLeaf.

 

As of the date of the Purchase Agreement and the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, there are no material relationships between the Company or any of its affiliates and NuLeaf, other than in respect of the Purchase Agreement and the current ownership of NuLeaf Reno and NuLeaf Sparks.

 

The description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
