Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On August 12, 2022, Unrivaled Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Engagement Letter (the “Engagement Letter”) with Adnant, LLC (“Adnant”). Pursuant to the Engagement Letter, Adnant will provide executive level consulting and related business support and services related to the Company’s present and future challenges and opportunities. Specifically, Sabas Carrillo was appointed as Interim Chief Executive Officer (“Interim CEO”) of the Company, as described in more detail on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 12, 2022. Adnant will provide certain services (the “Services”) focused on achieving identified performance objectives (the “Performance Objectives”). Both the Services and Performance Objectives are described in more detail in the Engagement Letter. Compensation to Adnant includes fees for the Services of $150,000 monthly subject to the Company having available a cash balance greater than or equal to $1,200,000 following payment of the fee and a performance bonus award subject to achievement of the Performance Objectives as set forth in Exhibit A to the Engagement Letter.

 

In the event that prior to December 31, 2022 the Interim CEO’s service is terminated by the Company other than for “Cause” (as defined in the Engagement Letter) then 100% of the Performance Bonus Award Shares will be released to Adnant from the Performance Bonus Award Trust subject to the execution and non-revocation of a release of claims by the Interim CEO and Adnant in the form provided by the Company and reasonably agreed by Adnant. The Engagement (as defined in the Engagement Letter) commenced on August 12, 2022 and remains in effect until December 31, 2022 (the “Original Term”). Upon the expiration of the Original Term, the Engagement shall automatically renew for subsequent three month periods unless, at least 30 days prior to the renewal date, either the Company or Adnant provides written notice of termination.

 

The foregoing description of the Engagement Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such Engagement Letter, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
