CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

Committees of the Board

 

The Board has established various committees to assist it with the performance of its responsibilities. These committees and their members are listed below. Generally, the Board designates the members of these committees and the committee chairs annually, usually, at its organizational meeting following the annual meeting of stockholders, based on the recommendation of the Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Board has adopted written charters for each of these committees which can be found at the investor relations section of the Company’s website at www.schwazze.com. Copies are also available in print to any stockholder upon written request to Medicine Man Technologies, Inc., 4880 Havana Street, Suite 201, Denver, Colorado 80239, Attention: Corporate Secretary. The chair of each committee develops the agenda for that committee and determines the frequency and length of committee meetings.

 

In light of recent additions to the Board and the Company’s recent growth, the Board is in the process of reconstituting the committees’ membership.

 

Audit Committee

 

Our Board has established an Audit Committee, which currently is composed of Mr. Cozad, Mr. Garwood, and Mr. Wahdan. Mr. Mukharji was the Chairman and audit committee financial expert of the Audit Committee before his resignation from the Board in December 2021 (he was subsequently reappointed to the Board but has not yet been appointed to serve on any Board committees). As a result, the Audit Committee currently does not have a Chairman nor an audit committee financial expert. At least one of the members of the full Board qualifies as an audit committee financial expert. The Board is in the process of reconstituting the Audit Committee’s membership and expects to appoint at least one Board member that is an audit committee financial expert to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee’s primary duties are to:

 

  · review and discuss with management and our independent auditor our annual and quarterly financial statements and related disclosures, including disclosure under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and the results of the independent auditor’s audit or review, as the case may be;

 

  · review our financial reporting processes and internal control over financial reporting systems and the performance, generally, of our internal audit function;

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

 

Our Board has also established a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating Corporate Governance Committee consists of Mr. Cozad and Mr. Dye. Mr. Mukharji was the Chairman of the Nominating Corporate Governance Committee before his resignation from the Board in December 2021 (he was subsequently reappointed to the Board but has not yet been appointed to serve on any Board committees). As a result, the Nominating Corporate Governance Committee currently does not have a Chairman. The Committee’s primary duties are

to:

 

  · recruit new directors, consider director nominees recommended by stockholders and others and recommend nominees for election as directors;

 

  · review the size and composition of the Board and its committees;

 

  · oversee the evaluation of the Board;

 

  · recommend actions to increase the Board’s effectiveness; and

 

  · develop, recommend and oversee our corporate governance principles, including our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and our Nominating and Corporate Governance Guidelines.

 

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee was established in 2016.

 

Compensation Committee

 

Our Board has established a Compensation Committee. Mr. Cozad, Mr. Dye and Mr. Ruden serve on this committee. The Compensation Committee Chairman is Mr. Dye. The Committee’s primary duties are to:

 

  · approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to executive officer compensation and evaluate executive officer performance in light of those goals and objectives;

 

  · determine and approve executive officer compensation, including base salary and incentive awards;

 

  · make recommendations to the Board regarding compensation plans;

 

  · administer our stock plan; and

 

  · prepare a report on executive compensation for inclusion in our proxy statement for our annual stockholder meetings.

 

Our Compensation Committee determines and approves all elements of executive officer compensation. It also provides recommendations to the full Board with respect to non-employee director compensation. The Compensation Committee may not delegate its authority to any other person, although it may delegate its authority to a subcommittee.

 

The Compensation Committee was established in 2016.

Unwritten Cash Bonus Plan

 

On June 14, 2021, the Board’s Compensation Committee approved and adopted an unwritten cash bonus plan, effective beginning in the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.

 

Under the bonus plan, the Company will pay cash bonuses to manager-level and above employees if the Company (i) achieves at least 90% of a specified earnings before depreciation and amortization target (the “EBITDA Target”) for the applicable fiscal year (the “EBITDA Bonus”), or (ii) entered into binding agreement for or consummated, acquisitions of dispensaries, cultivation facilities or other cannabis-related assets, directly or indirectly, during 2021 (the “M&A Bonus”).

 

The EBITDA Bonus payments will range from 10% to 200% of the applicable officer’s salary depending on the percentage of the EBITDA Target the Company achieves, as follows:

 

Target Percentage Achieved Bonus Payment Percentage
90% 10%
100% 20%
105% 30%
110% 40%
115% 60%
120% 80%
125% 100%
130% 125%
135% 150%
140% 175%
145% 200%

 

Under the M&A Bonus, officers were eligible to receive up to 25% of the applicable officer’s salary depending on the proportion of a stated target amount of acquisitions the Company entered into or consummated during 2021. The Company exceeded the stated target amount of acquisitions for 2021, and, as a result, the Company paid the full M&A Bonus to the eligible officers.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

The following table sets forth, based on 52,915,495 shares of our common stock outstanding as of April 20, 2022 (which excludes treasury stock and certain shares held in escrow or otherwise issuable or releasable in connection with consummated mergers and acquisitions), certain information as to the stock ownership of each person known by us to own beneficially more than five percent or more of our outstanding common stock, of each of the named executive officers included in the Summary Compensation Table and our directors, and of all our current executive officers and directors as a group. In computing the outstanding shares of common stock, we have excluded all shares of common stock subject to options, warrants or other securities that are not currently exercisable or convertible or exercisable or convertible within 60 days and are therefore not deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding the options, warrants or other securities for the purpose of computing the number of shares beneficially owned and the percentage ownership of that person; provided, that we have included shares of common stock underlying such options, warrants or other securities with respect to each person who acquired any such options, warrants or other securities with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of the Company in accordance with Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each of the following beneficial owner is c/o Medicine Man Technologies, Inc., 4880 Havana Street, Suite 201, Denver, CO 80239. All beneficial ownership is direct and the beneficial owner has sole voting and investment power over the securities beneficially owned unless otherwise noted.

 

The share of common stock issuable upon conversion of our Series A Preferred Stock and our 13% senior secured convertible notes due December 7, 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”) are calculated by including accrued but unpaid dividends and interest, as applicable, as of April 20, 2022 plus dividends and interest, as applicable, accruing during the following 60 days.
