Don Polly is classified as a variable interest entity for which the Company is the primary beneficiary, and is owned directly by Brandon and Ryan Stump, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, respectively. Pursuant to the License Agreement, Charlie’s agreed to provide Don Polly with a limited right and license to use certain of Charlie’s intellectual property rights, including certain trademarks, copyrights and original artwork, in connection with certain of Don Polly’s branded CBD products. In exchange for such license, Don Polly agreed to (i) pay Charlie’s monthly royalties amounting to 75% of its Net Profits (as defined in the License Agreement), (ii) use its best efforts to market, promote and advertise the Licensed Products (as defined in the License Agreement), (iii) provide Charlie’s with most favored nations pricing in the event that Charlie’s wishes to sell products sold by Don Polly, (iv) provide Charlie’s with the exclusive right of first refusal to purchase Don Polly, including all of its assets and liabilities, for a purchase price of $111,618 on or before December 31, 2025, and (v) not to license any intellectual property from any other source other than Charlie’s in connection with its design, manufacture, advertisement, promotion distribution and sale of CBD infused products within the agreed upon territory. The License Agreement will continue in perpetuity unless terminated in accordance with its terms.

While at Blue Technologies, Inc., Mr. Stump was responsible for the sales performance of the company’s five divisions, along with operational oversight. His duties included P&L responsibility for all product divisions, leadership training and development, new product and service offerings, enterprise account selling, amongst other duties.
