FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Exhibits incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement of the Registrant contain forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, incorporated by reference are forward-looking information. Generally, forward-looking information may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “proposed”, “is expected”, “budgets”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases, or by the use of words or phrases which state that certain actions, events or results may, could, would, or might occur or be achieved. There can be no assurance that such forward-looking information will prove to be accurate, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking information. The Registrant’s forward-looking statements contained in the Exhibits incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement are made as of the respective dates set forth in such Exhibits and on assumptions the Registrant believed are reasonable as of such date. Forward-looking information is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of the Registrant to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. Such risks and other factors may include, but are not limited to: general business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; general capital market conditions and market prices for securities; delay or failure to receive board or regulatory approvals; the actual results of future operations; competition; changes in legislation affecting the Registrant; the timing and availability of external financing on acceptable terms; and lack of qualified, skilled labor or loss of key individuals. A description of assumptions used to develop such forward-looking information and a description of additional risk factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking information can be found in the Registrant’s disclosure documents, such as the Registrant’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019, dated April 28, 2020 (the “AIF”), on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.18. Although the Registrant has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Readers are further cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which they are placed will occur. Forward-looking information contained in the Exhibits incorporated by reference are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. The forward-looking information contained in the Exhibits incorporated by reference represents the expectations of the Registrant as of the date of such Exhibit and, accordingly, is subject to change after such date. However, the Registrant expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as expressly required by applicable securities law.

Cresco Closes Acquisition of Origin House, Adding Leading California

Wholesale Distribution and Cultivation Operations to Its Strategic National

Footprint

 

   

Establishes Cresco as one of the largest wholesale distributors in California.

 

   

Expected to enable Cresco to continue developing its house of brands in one of the largest and most influential legal cannabis markets in the world.

 

   

Combines two industry-leading cultivation, branding and distribution teams.

CHICAGO—(BUSINESS WIRE)—January 8, 2020—Cresco Labs Inc. (CSE: CL, OTCQX: CRLBF) (“Cresco” or the “Company”), one of the largest vertically integrated multistate cannabis operators in the United States, announced today that it has closed the previously announced acquisition of CannaRoyalty Corp. d/b/a Origin House (“Origin House”) (CSE: OH, OTCQX: ORHOF) by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”). With the closing of the Arrangement, Cresco has significantly increased its footprint and accelerated its entry into the California market.

“This is a transformational deal for Cresco and represents the culmination of the better part of a year’s work for both the Cresco and Origin House teams,” said Charlie Bachtell, Cresco’s CEO and Co-founder. “With the closing of this transaction, Cresco is in a position to accelerate its entry into one of the largest legal cannabis markets in the world, while adding valuable expertise in wholesale distribution and brand development, which we expect will drive significant value for all of our shareholders as we scale across the country in the coming years. We also see meaningful synergies across our national footprint through the addition of Origin House’s ultra-premium indoor cultivation team, which we expect will assist us in our goal to consistently outperform the market on yield and quality metrics.”

Mr. Bachtell continued, “In an industry that is in flux, Cresco is one of the most fundamentally sound and best-positioned multi-state cannabis operators in the U.S. The Company has built an engine that is designed to execute operationally, develop leading brands and get them into the hands of consumers to drive growth and value across all three horizons – short, medium and long term.”

Marc Lustig, Chairman and CEO of Origin House commented, “Cresco’s focus on the middle two verticals of the value chain – brands and wholesale distribution – as the key to creating long-term shareholder value, is aligned with the philosophy we had at Origin House. Speaking as one of the largest former shareholders of Origin House and now an enthusiastic and significant Cresco shareholder, I am looking forward to the opportunity for this combined team to create value for all of our shareholders.”

Pursuant to the Arrangement, Cresco will appoint Marc Lustig, Chairman and CEO of Origin House, to the Cresco board of directors, following receipt of certain U.S. regulatory approvals.


The acquisition of Origin House makes Cresco a leading wholesale distributor in California, selling into over 575 dispensaries, representing approximately 65% of California’s storefront dispensaries. Origin House’s Continuum distribution platform distributes 13 third party brands, including Kings Garden.

Origin House’s 92,000 square feet of ultra-premium indoor cultivation and production facilities is expected to allow Cresco to expand its offering of Cresco branded products across California rapidly; growing market share, generating brand equity, and driving shareholder value.

Transaction Details

Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement, holders of common shares of Origin House (“Origin House Common Shares”) received 0.7031 (the “Exchange Ratio”) subordinate voting shares of Cresco (“Cresco Shares”) for each Origin House Common Share held, holders of class A compressed shares of Origin House (“Origin House Compressed Shares”) ultimately received 70.31 Cresco Shares for each Origin House Compressed Share held (the “Consideration”). In total, Cresco acquired 94,558,120 Origin House Common Shares (on an as converted basis) in exchange for 66,483,798 Cresco Shares.

In connection with the closing of the Arrangement, the remaining portion of the approximately CAD$39.7 million of subscription proceeds raised in connection with the financing announced on November 26, 2019 have now been released from escrow, resulting in the issuance of 9,713,839 Origin House Common Shares under the financing. A further 3,692,639 Origin House Common Shares were issued to certain service providers, vendors and contracting parties of Origin House. All such Origin House Common Shares were exchanged, pursuant to the Arrangement, at the Exchange Ratio, for 0.7031 Cresco Shares and are not subject to any statutory hold period.

It is anticipated that the Origin House Common Shares will be delisted from the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) as of the close of trading on January 9, 2020, and Origin House intends to submit an application to the applicable securities regulators to cease to be a reporting issuer and to terminate its public reporting obligations.

Pursuant to the letter of transmittal mailed to shareholders of Origin House as part of the materials in connection with the special meeting of shareholders of Origin House held on December 31, 2019 (the “Meeting”), in order to receive the portion of the Consideration to which they are entitled, registered holders of Origin House Shares are required to deposit their share certificate(s) representing Origin House Shares, together with a duly completed letter of transmittal, with Odyssey Trust Company, the depositary under the Arrangement. Shareholders whose Origin House Shares are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or other nominee must contact their nominee to deposit their Origin House Shares.

Further information about the Arrangement is set forth in the materials prepared by Origin House in respect of the Meeting which were mailed to Origin House shareholders and filed under Origin House’s profile on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) at www.sedar.com.

Such forward-looking information and forward-looking statements are not representative of historical facts or information or current condition, but instead represent only Cresco’s and/or Origin House’s beliefs regarding future events, plans or objectives, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of Cresco’s and/or Origin House’s control. Generally, such forward-looking information or forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as, ‘may,’ ‘will,’ ‘should,’ ‘could,’ ‘would,’ ‘expects,’ ‘plans,’ ‘anticipates,’ ‘believes,’ ‘estimates,’ ‘projects,’ ‘predicts,’ ‘potential’ or ‘continue’ or the negative of those forms or other comparable terms, and includes, but is not limited to, statements relating to the expected timing by which Origin House will be de-listed from the CSE and the intention to apply to have Origin House cease to be a reporting issuer and terminate its public reporting obligations.


Forward looking statements are based on certain assumptions regarding the Company and Origin House, including but not limited to expected growth, results of operations, performance, industry trends and growth opportunities. While the Company and Origin House consider these assumptions to be reasonable based on currently available information, they may prove to be incorrect. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: (i) risks associated with general economic conditions; (ii) adverse industry events; (iii) future legislative and regulatory developments; (iv) inability to access sufficient capital and/or inability to access sufficient capital on favourable terms; (v) the evolving cannabis industry in North America generally; (vi) the ability of the Company to implement its business strategies: (vii) the ability of the Company to create shareholder value and to maintain, in California and in general, its market share in wholesale distribution, craft cultivation, cannabis branding and M&A; (viii) the Company’s development and growth of its brands, its influence in the cannabis market and its future plans, including expansion in the United States; (ix) risks associated with currency and interest rate fluctuations; (x) risks discussed in public filings relating to the Arrangement, including those risk factors referred to in the management information circular of Origin House prepared in connection with the Meeting, as well as those risks discussed under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s CSE Listing Statement filed with SEDAR, or Origin House’s management’s discussion and analysis filed with SEDAR; (xi) the statements of the CEO and Co-founder of Cresco; (xii) the statements of the Chairman and CEO of Origin House; (xiii) the appointment of the Chairman and CEO of Origin House to the board of directors of Cresco; (xiv) the anticipated revenue and performance of the Company as a result of operations in California and its indoor cultivation and production capacity; and (xv) other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Cresco and/or Origin House.

Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Because of these uncertainties, readers should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements. No assurances are given as to the future trading price or trading volumes of Cresco Shares, nor as to Cresco’s and/or Origin House’s financial performance in future financial periods. Except to the extent required by applicable laws, Cresco and/or Origin House do not intend to update any of these factors or any of the forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of new information, future event or otherwise. Except as otherwise indicated, this press release speaks as of the date hereof.

Cresco Closes Acquisition of Origin House, Adding Leading California Wholesale

Distribution and Cultivation Operations to its Strategic National Footprint

 

   

Establishes Cresco as one of the largest wholesale distributors in California.

 

   

Expected to enable Cresco to continue developing its house of brands in one of the largest and most influential legal cannabis markets in the world.

 

   

Combines two industry-leading cultivation, branding and distribution teams.

January 8, 2020 – CHICAGO, ILLINOIS – Cresco Labs Inc. (CSE: CL, OTCQX: CRLBF) (“Cresco” or the “Company”), one of the largest vertically integrated multistate cannabis operators in the United States, announced today that it has closed the previously announced acquisition of CannaRoyalty Corp. d/b/a Origin House (“Origin House”) (CSE: OH, OTCQX: ORHOF) by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”). With the closing of the Arrangement, Cresco has significantly increased its footprint and accelerated its entry into the California market.

“This is a transformational deal for Cresco and represents the culmination of the better part of a year’s work for both the Cresco and Origin House teams,” said Charlie Bachtell, Cresco’s CEO and Co-founder. “With the closing of this transaction, Cresco is in a position to accelerate its entry into one of the largest legal cannabis markets in the world, while adding valuable expertise in wholesale distribution and brand development, which we expect will drive significant value for all of our shareholders as we scale across the country in the coming years. We also see meaningful synergies across our national footprint through the addition of Origin House’s ultra-premium indoor cultivation team, which we expect will assist us in our goal to consistently outperform the market on yield and quality metrics.”

Mr. Bachtell continued, “In an industry that is in flux, Cresco is one of the most fundamentally sound and best-positioned multi-state cannabis operators in the U.S. The Company has built an engine that is designed to execute operationally, develop leading brands and get them into the hands of consumers to drive growth and value across all three horizons – short, medium and long term.”

Marc Lustig, Chairman and CEO of Origin House commented, “Cresco’s focus on the middle two verticals of the value chain – brands and wholesale distribution – as the key to creating long-term shareholder value, is aligned with the philosophy we had at Origin House. Speaking as one of the largest former shareholders of Origin House and now an enthusiastic and significant Cresco shareholder, I am looking forward to the opportunity for this combined team to create value for all of our shareholders.”

Pursuant to the Arrangement, Cresco will appoint Marc Lustig, Chairman and CEO of Origin House, to the Cresco board of directors, following receipt of certain U.S. regulatory approvals.

The acquisition of Origin House makes Cresco a leading wholesale distributor in California, selling into over 575 dispensaries, representing approximately 65% of California’s storefront dispensaries. Origin House’s Continuum distribution platform distributes 13 third party brands, including Kings Garden. In the most recent quarter, Origin House generated CAD$22.8 million in revenue driven primarily by its California distribution business.

Origin House’s 92,000 square feet of ultra-premium indoor cultivation and production facilities is expected to allow Cresco to expand its offering of Cresco branded products across California rapidly; growing market share, generating brand equity, and driving shareholder value.


Transaction Details

Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement, holders of common shares of Origin House (“Origin House Common Shares”) received 0.7031 (the “Exchange Ratio”) subordinate voting shares of Cresco (“Cresco Shares”) for each Origin House Common Share held, holders of class A compressed shares of Origin House (“Origin House Compressed Shares”) ultimately received 70.31 Cresco Shares for each Origin House Compressed Share held (the “Consideration”). In total, Cresco acquired 94,558,120 Origin House Common Shares (on an as converted basis) in exchange for 66,483,798 Cresco Shares.

In connection with the closing of the Arrangement, the remaining portion of the approximately CAD$39.7 million of subscription proceeds raised in connection with the financing announced on November 26, 2019 have now been released from escrow, resulting in the issuance of 9,713,839 Origin House Common Shares under the financing. A further 3,692,639 Origin House Common Shares were issued to certain service providers, vendors and contracting parties of Origin House. All such Origin House Common Shares were exchanged, pursuant to the Arrangement, at the Exchange Ratio, for 0.7031 Cresco Shares and are not subject to any statutory hold period.

It is anticipated that the Origin House Common Shares will be delisted from the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) as of the close of trading on January 9, 2020, and Origin House intends to submit an application to the applicable securities regulators to cease to be a reporting issuer and to terminate its public reporting obligations.

Pursuant to the letter of transmittal mailed to shareholders of Origin House as part of the materials in connection with the special meeting of shareholders of Origin House held on December 31, 2019 (the “Meeting”), in order to receive the portion of the Consideration to which they are entitled, registered holders of Origin House Shares are required to deposit their share certificate(s) representing Origin House Shares, together with a duly completed letter of transmittal, with Odyssey Trust Company, the depositary under the Arrangement. Shareholders whose Origin House Shares are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or other nominee must contact their nominee to deposit their Origin House Shares.

Further information about the Arrangement is set forth in the materials prepared by Origin House in respect of the Meeting which were mailed to Origin House shareholders and filed under Origin House’s profile on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) at www.sedar.com.

(a) Subject to Section 2.3, the Advances to be made on the Initial Funding Date shall be made by the Lenders in an amount to be specified in a written funding request delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent at least two (2) Business Days before the Initial Funding Date. Advances made after the Initial Funding Date that are described in Section 2.1(a) shall be made contemporaneously with increases in the Loan Amount and the aggregate principal amount of the Commitments. The Advances made pursuant to Section 2.1(b) shall be made upon the Borrower’s delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written funding request (a “Funding Request”) for any such Advance, which Funding Request shall be delivered not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date, and subject to satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.3. The proceeds of the Advance made on the Initial Funding Date shall be utilized as follows: (i) first, the Facility Fee will be withheld on behalf of and paid pro rata to the Lenders, (ii) second, the Reserve Amount will be deposited into the Reserve Account to the extent of the remaining proceeds of such Advances and (iii) third, the remaining proceeds of such Advances shall be deposited into such Accounts as the Borrower directs. The proceeds of Advances made after the Initial Funding Date shall be utilized as follows: (i) first, any fees agreed to in writing by the Borrower with respect to any applicable Lender will be withheld on behalf of and paid to such Lender, (ii) second, to the extent any additional Reserve Amount is required to be deposited in the Reserve Account pursuant to this Agreement, the Reserve Amount will be deposited into the Reserve Account to the extent of the remaining proceeds of such Advances and (iii) third, the remaining proceeds of such Advances shall be deposited into such Accounts as the Borrower directs for proceeds of Advances on the Initial Funding Date, unless a Funding Request directs otherwise. Each Funding Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the principal amount of the proposed Loan, (ii) wire instructions for the deposit account of the Borrower into which such funds should be deposited, and (iii) the proposed borrowing date, which must be a Business Day. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may act without liability upon the basis of written, emailed or telecopied notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from the Borrower (or from any Responsible Officer thereof designated in writing purportedly from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent). The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any Responsible Officer’s authority to request a Loan on behalf of the Borrower until the Administrative Agent receives written notice to the contrary. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of the signature appearing on any written Funding Request.

(b) Each Funding Request pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be irrevocable and the Borrower shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith.

 

33


(c) All Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their pro rata shares of the Commitments, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligations to make a Loan requested hereunder, nor shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of the default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans required to be made by it by the terms of this Agreement regardless of the failure by any other Lender. Not later than 10:00 am New York City time, on the requested Funding Date, each Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Advance to be made by such Lender.

(d) On the requested Funding Date, the Administrative Agent shall deliver the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders in immediately available funds, as specified in Section 2.1(a).

Section 2.3 Increase of Loan Amount. At any time from and including the Closing Date to and including the last day of the Commitment Period, provided that there does not exist any Default or Event of Default that is continuing, the Loan Amount may be increased, subject to Section 2.1, upon the Borrower’s request, up to an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed Two Hundred Million and 00/100 Dollars ($200,000,000) (the “Maximum Loan Amount”), provided that if Commitments are unavailable for the full amount of the Maximum Loan Amount, the Loan Amount and the principal amount of the Loan shall increase to the lesser amount for which Commitments are available. Any increase contemplated under this Section 2.3 shall be effective only upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a fully-executed Lender Supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit C attached hereto. If the Loan Amount (a) is equal to or less than One Hundred Million and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000,000), such Lender Supplement shall be executed by at least the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent’s execution of such Lender Supplement shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Borrower and the Lenders providing additional Commitments pursuant thereto (including each new Lender) and (b) exceeds One Hundred Million and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000,000), executed by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, Required Lenders and to the extent not included in Required Lenders and still a Lender at such time, each Initial Lender; provided that, in case of either clause (a) or (b) above, the Administrative Agent consents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to any proposed new Lender providing additional Commitments pursuant to such increase. No Lender is required to provide any such increase.

Each such increase and other Loan provided hereunder shall be either a Tranche A Loan or a Tranche B Loan with an All-in Yield not exceeding the All-in Yield for the Tranche A Loans; provided that if the All-in Yield for the Tranche A Loans is increased then the All-in Yield for the Tranche B Loans may be increased to an amount not exceeding the All-in Yield for the Tranche A Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, the Applicable Maturity Date for the Tranche A Loans may not be extended without the prior written consent of all Lenders holding Tranche A Loans. This paragraph may not be amended without the prior written consent of all Lenders holding Tranche A Loans.

Section 2.4 Use of Proceeds. The Loan shall be used to fund the entire Reserve Amount to be deposited into the Reserve Account, and thereafter to fund Permitted Acquisitions and Permitted Investments pursuant to Section 8.4(f) and (g); provided that the proceeds of each Advance may be invested in Cash Equivalents pending regulatory approval of any Permitted Acquisition.

Section 3.2 Repayment of Loan; Applicable Maturity Date. The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders holding Tranche A Loans on the Applicable Maturity Date for Tranche A Loans the aggregate Principal Amount of the Tranche A Loans on such date in full, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, fees, costs and other Obligations and amounts owed to any Agent or any Lender, in each case, on the Tranche A Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders holding Tranche B Loans on the Applicable Maturity Date for Tranche B Loans the aggregate Principal Amount of the Tranche B Loans on such date in full, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, fees, costs and other Obligations and amounts owed to any Agent or any Lender, in each case, on the Tranche B Loans. Prior thereto repayments of the Loan shall be made as set forth below in Section 3.3. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.2 to the contrary, the Borrower may not repay any Tranche B Loans at any time before the repayment in full of all Tranche A Loans (except as permitted by Section 3.3).

Section 3.3 Prepayments; Repayments.

(a) Voluntary Prepayment. The Borrower may voluntarily prepay (i) the Tranche A Loans (and not the Tranche B Loans) and (ii) both the Tranche A Loans and Tranche B Loans on a pro rata basis (and the Tranche B Loans alone if no Tranche A Loans remain outstanding), in each case, at any time prior to the Applicable Scheduled Maturity Date upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be in the amount of all outstanding Obligations plus the Prepayment Premium and shall be tendered to the Administrative Agent at a time and in such manner as determined by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments. The Borrower will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of a Mandatory Prepayment Event as required under Section 7.4(a), and the applicable prepayment will be made no later than thirty (30) days from the date such notice is given. On the prepayment date, the Borrower shall prepay the principal amount of the Loans (pro rata between the Tranche A Loans and Tranche B Loans), together with all unpaid interest, fees and costs payable hereunder to (but excluding) the date of such prepayment, and all other outstanding Obligations with respect thereto, provided that the principal amount of the Loans payable with respect to clause (a) of the definition of “Mandatory Prepayment Event” shall be the amount by which the outstanding principal amount of the Loan exceeds the Loan Amount and with respect to clause (d) of the definition of a “Mandatory Prepayment Event,” if the making of any Loan by a Lender is made illegal by any applicable Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall be obligated to repay the Obligations only to such Lenders (and not to others). In addition, the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loan utilizing the insurance proceeds received by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary in excess of [Redacted – Commercially Sensitive Information] arising from casualty or the loss of property if such insurance proceeds are not used to purchase replacement assets within one (1) year of receipt of such insurance proceeds.

 

35


(c) Provisions Applicable to All Prepayments or Repayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise, upon the prepayment or repayment of the Loan in whole or in part (whether such prepayment is a mandatory prepayment, or a repayment upon acceleration pursuant to Section 10.2, whether by notice or automatically (on account of a Bankruptcy Event or otherwise)), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the paid or prepaid Loans all accrued but unpaid interest, fees and costs payable hereunder to (but excluding) the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid and any and all other outstanding Obligations which may be payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

Section 3.4 Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.4(b), the outstanding Principal Amount of the Loan will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to [Redacted – Commercially Sensitive Information], less the Applicable Rate Adjustment (the “Applicable Rate”), payable in cash. All accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan shall be paid for the applicable Interest Period on each Interest Payment Date, commencing with the first Interest Payment Date immediately following the applicable Funding Date.

(b) After an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the election of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders and upon notice to the Borrower, the entire Principal Amount of each Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, accruing from the date on which such Event of Default occurred and all interest thereafter accrued on the Loan during the continuance of an Event of Default (including following the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 10.2) shall be payable on demand.

(c) Interest shall accrue from and including the applicable Funding Date through payment in full of the Obligations. All interest shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the actual number of days elapsed in the Interest Period for which the calculation is being made, based on thirty (30) day months, by (ii) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (that is, the Applicable Rate or the Default Rate, as then applicable, expressed as an annual rate divided by 360) by (iii) the Principal Amount; provided, however, that if any payment made under the Loan is ever rescinded, voided, or must otherwise be returned by the Lenders to the Borrower in connection with any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, insolvency, or otherwise, the amount returned shall bear interest from the date returned to the Borrower until the date such amount is paid to the Lenders.

Section 3.5 Application of Payments. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all payments, repayments and prepayments shall be applied: first, to the Agents’ and the Lenders’ charges, fees, expenses, indemnities and other obligations (other than the interest and principal) as provided in the Loan Documents; second, to accrued and unpaid interest then owing; and third, to all other Obligations, and in each case with respect to the Lenders, as applicable to each Lender, pro rata.

 

36


Section 3.6 Fees. All charges, fees, expenses, indemnities and other obligations (other than the interest and principal) owing under any of the Loan Documents shall be paid by the Loan Parties (who shall be jointly and severally liable therefor) in immediately available funds, at the times and in the amounts set forth in such Loan Documents.

Section 3.7 Evidence of Debt. The Loan made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, of the amount of the Loan made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest, costs and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loan in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loan and payments with respect thereto which shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

Section 3.8 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Claw Back. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to (a) the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payments are owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office, or (b) at the direction of the Administrative Agent, directly to the respective Lenders to which such payment are owed, at the applicable Lender’s lending office, in each case, in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the date(s) specified herein; provided that thirty (30) days prior to the Applicable Scheduled Maturity Date of a Tranche A Loan, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a notice describing the sources of funds to be used to make such payment which sources of funds shall be one or more of the following: (i) cash generated in the ordinary course of business, (ii) proceeds of issuance of Equity Interests or (iii) proceeds of Indebtedness with a maturity date that occurs on or after the latest Applicable Scheduled Maturity Date with respect to the Tranche B Loans; and provided further that such funds payable by the Borrower upon the Applicable Scheduled Maturity Date of a Tranche A Loan shall be deposited with the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the date prior to the Applicable Scheduled Maturity Date of such Tranche A Loan, and the Administrative Agent shall (i) hold such funds in escrow pending their distribution to the Lenders and (ii) issue a notice on such Applicable Scheduled Maturity Date to the Lenders of Tranche B Loans stating whether all funds required to discharge the Tranche A Loans have been delivered by the Borrower in accordance with this Agreement, and the deposit of such funds by the Borrower shall conclusively satisfy the Borrower’s obligation to pay such funds to the Agent and the applicable Lenders. The Administrative Agent will (or will direct the Borrower to) promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s lending office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m. New York City time shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

 

37


Section 3.9 Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of any Obligation in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of similar obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in such similar obligations held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that (a) if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and each Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered and (b) the provisions of this Section 3.9 shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 3.9 shall apply). The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 3.9 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights (including the Lender’s right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 3.10 Apportionment of Payments.

(a) All payments of principal and interest in respect of outstanding Loans, all payments of fees (other than the fees set forth in Section 3.6, the Facility Fee and the fees in any fee letter with any Agent) and all other payments in respect of any other Obligations, shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective pro rata share of the outstanding Loan or otherwise as provided herein or, in respect of payments not made on account of Loans, as designated by the Person making payment when the payment is made.

(b) (i)(A) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default described in Section 10.1(a), (e) or (f), (B) after the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 10.2, (C) after the exercise of enforcement remedies by the Administrative Agent (acting at the written direction of Required Lenders) pursuant to the Loan Documents or (D) otherwise upon the direction of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, then (ii) in each case, the Administrative Agent shall apply all payments in respect of any Obligations, including, without limitation, proceeds of the Collateral and any amounts received on account of the Obligations (whether received as a consequence of the exercise of any remedies under Section 10.2 hereof or any Loan Document or as a distribution out of any proceeding in respect of or commenced under any Insolvency Proceeding including payments in respect of “adequate protection” for the use of Collateral during such proceeding) or under any plan of reorganization or on account of any liquidation of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, (A) first, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements, indemnities and other amounts then due and payable to the Administrative Agent and its agents and attorneys until paid in full; (B) second, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements, indemnities, premiums (including the Prepayment Premium, if applicable) and other amounts then due and payable to the Lenders until

(c) For purposes of Section 3.10(b), “paid in full” means payment in cash of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) according to the terms thereof, including loan fees, service fees, professional fees, interest (and specifically including interest, fees and expenses accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding, whether or not the same would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency Proceeding), default interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, whether or not same would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency Proceeding.

(d) In the event of a conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 3.10 and other provisions contained in any other Loan Document, the terms and provisions of this Section 3.10 shall control and govern.

ARTICLE 4

CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES, TAXES AND CERTAIN OTHER PROVISIONS

Section 4.1 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(A) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender;

(B) impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loan made by such Lender; or

(C) subject any Lender or any Agent, as applicable, to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (d) and (e) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such Agent of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Agent hereunder, whether of principal, interest or otherwise, then the Loan Parties shall pay to such Lender or such Agent such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Agent for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

39


(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loan made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Loan Parties shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of the applicable Lender or Agent setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Agent or its holding company as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 4.1 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Loan Parties shall pay such Agent or such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

Failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall not constitute a waiver of such Agent’s or such Lender’s right to demand such compensation.

Section 4.2 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any of the Obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, provided that if a Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof shall be required by applicable Law to deduct or withhold, or a Lender or an Agent, as applicable, shall be required to remit, any Taxes from such payments, then (i) such Loan Parties or such Subsidiary shall make any such deductions or withholdings and (ii) such Loan Parties or such Subsidiary shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant and applicable Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and (iii) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions, withholdings or remittances (including deductions, withholdings or remittances applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.2), such Lender or such Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions, withholdings or remittances been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes. Without limiting or duplicating the provisions of Section 4.2(a), the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof shall timely pay (or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of) any Other Taxes to the relevant and applicable Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(c) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Agent and each Lender within five (5) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4.2) paid by such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant and applicable Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by an Agent on its own behalf, as applicable, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

40


(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes (imposed with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document) by a Loan Party to an applicable Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the applicable Lender or Agent, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such applicable Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment satisfactory to such Lenders or such Agent, as applicable.

(e) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, withholding tax under the Law of the jurisdiction in which any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Such delivery shall be required on the Closing Date (or, in the case of an assignee, on the date of assignment) and on or before the date such documentation expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent documentation so delivered or as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding requirements.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, United States withholding tax shall deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the Borrower) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party;

41


(E) any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iv) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof is resident for tax purposes in Canada, any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, Canadian withholding tax shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the Borrower) executed copies of Canada Revenue Agency Form NR301, NR302 or NR303, as applicable, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law, certifying such Lender’s eligibility to receive a reduced rate of withholding tax or exemption provided by any tax treaty between Canada and another jurisdiction in respect of payments made to it under any Loan Document.

The Loan Parties must cooperate with the Administrative Agent and continue to operate the business as required by the Administrative Agent.

Section 10.3 Application of Funds. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 3.10(b)-(c).

Section 10.4 Protective Advances/Cure Rights. If the Borrower fails to do so, at any time prior to payment in full of the Obligations under the Loan, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, without waiving or releasing any of the Obligations, upon prior written notice to the Borrower, may (but shall not be required to) make any payments as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary to protect and/or maintain the Collateral. In addition, if the Borrower fails to do so, if at any time a breach, Default or Event of Default, occurs or any Loan Party otherwise fails to perform or comply with any of the terms, covenants, and conditions to be performed and/or complied with, any other Indebtedness, then the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, without waiving or releasing any of the Obligations, may (but shall not be required to):

(a) make advances to the Loan Parties and/or directly make any payments as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary to cure or remedy such event or failure, including, without limitation, to cure or prevent a Default or Event of Default or an exercise of any rights or remedies or options against the Loan Parties or Lenders; and/or

(b) perform any other acts on their part to be performed for such purposes.

The making by the Administrative Agent of any such advances, payments or performances will not, however, be deemed to cure any Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents arising from the predicated Events of Default. All sums so advanced or paid and all costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the performance of any such act shall be subject to the same terms and shall be deemed to be part of the Loan (including that such advances shall bear interest at the Applicable Rate or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent has so elected, the Default Rate, and be due on the Applicable Maturity Date, will be added to the Principal Amounts of the Loan and the Note and if repaid prior to the Applicable Maturity Date will be secured by the Security Documents). All such payments and advances so actually made shall conclusively be deemed to be protective advances which are required and mandatory to preserve and protect the Collateral Agent’s security for the performance of the Obligations under the Loan Documents, and shall be secured by the Security Documents to the same extent and with the same priority as the other principal, interest and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.

Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

88


believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 12.1 and Section 10.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Such Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice describing such Default is given to any Agent by the Borrower or any Lender. Such Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Agent.

Section 11.4 Reliance by Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any writing sent through electronic mail) sent by a Loan Party believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless such Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 11.5 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of their duties and exercise their rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of any Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as such an Agent.

Section 11.6 Resignation or Removal of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give written notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower to be effective not earlier than thirty (30) days from the date of such notice.

(c) The Required Lenders may remove either Agent from their capacity as such Agent under this Article 11, upon 10 Business Days’ written notice to such Agent. Upon receipt of such notice, such Agent shall cease all further activities and duties in the capacity in for which it was removed and provide such assistance as the Required Lenders may reasonably request to effect an orderly transition to a new Agent.

 

89


(d) Upon receipt of any written notice of resignation by either Agent, or upon the removal of such Agent by the Required Lenders, or if there exists a vacancy in any such capacity for whatever reason, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint with the consent of the Borrower which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (except that such consent shall not be required at any time that an Event of Default is continuing), an Eligible Assignee as a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring or removed Agent gives written notice of its resignation, then such retiring or removed Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the retiring or removed Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such written notice, and (1) the retiring or removed Agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such retiring or removed Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section 11.6. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as an Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) or removed Agent, and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 11.6). After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 12.4 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Agent was acting as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable.

Section 11.7 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 11.8 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Subsidiary, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

 

90


(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loan, and all other obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 3.6 and Section 12.4) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 3.6 and Section 12.4. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Section 11.9 Collateral and Subsidiary Guarantor Releases. The Lenders hereby empower and authorize the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to the Borrower on the Lenders’ behalf any agreements, documents or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect any releases of Collateral which shall be permitted by the terms hereof or of any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, in connection with any asset sale permitted hereunder or in connection with any release of a Subsidiary Guarantor made in accordance with the Loan Documents) or which shall otherwise have been approved by the Required Lenders (or, if required by the terms of Section 12.1, all of the Lenders) in writing. In addition, the Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents if such Person is no longer required to be a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder or if such Person is sold, transferred or assigned in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the terms of this Agreement. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of Collateral, or to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents pursuant to the foregoing. In each case as specified hereto, the Administrative Agent shall (and each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the security interest granted under the Loan Documents or to subordinate its interest therein, or to release a Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent and each Lender, and the Related Parties of each of them, from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower.

Section 12.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or any Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Lenders and the Agents herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Section 12.4 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses.

(A) The Borrower shall pay on the Closing Date all reasonable and invoiced (and showing in reasonable detail) out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents (including the reasonable and invoiced (and showing in reasonable detail) fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agents), that have been invoiced to the Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, in connection with the preparation, negotiation, due diligence, execution, and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(B) The Borrower shall pay (X) all reasonable and invoiced (and showing in reasonable detail) out-of-pocket expenses incurred by either Agent (including the reasonable and invoiced (and showing in reasonable detail) fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for such Agent), in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any such fees, charges and disbursements of counsel arising from either Agent’s actions under Section 7.12), (Y) all reasonable and invoiced (and showing in reasonable detail) out-of-pocket expenses incurred by either Agent (including the reasonable and invoiced (and showing in reasonable detail) fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for such Agent), in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or

 

94


thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (Z) all documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent or any Lender (including the reasonable documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and each Lender), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 12.4, and (B) in connection with the Loan hereunder, including all such reasonable and invoiced (and showing in reasonable detail) out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Loan.

(b) Indemnification by Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify and defend each Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party (collectively, “Claims”) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative or contributory negligence of any Indemnitee or its agents; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnitee or its agents. This Section 12.4 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims and damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 12.4(a)-(b) to be paid by it to any Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for such Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make payments pursuant to this Section 12.4(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any payment under this Section 12.4(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its payment under this Section 12.4(c).

 

95


(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Borrower, on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party and its Related Parties, shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in Section 12.4(b) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, unless such distribution is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section 12.4 shall be payable not later than five (5) Business Days after demand therefor.

(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section 12.4 shall survive the resignation or replacement of any Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Loan and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other obligations.

Section 12.5 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by either Agent. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 12.6 Successors And Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and any purported assignment or transfer by the Borrower in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void. Any Lender may at any time assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the consent of Borrower (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.6(b), (ii) by way of participation to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.6(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 12.6(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the

 

96


parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided for in Section 12.6(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and each Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.6(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.1 and Section 12.4 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.6(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.6(d).

 

97


(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and Principal Amounts (and stated interest) of the Loan owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice. In addition, at any time that a request for consent for a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender wishing to consult with other Lenders in connection therewith may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Eligible Participant (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loan owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 12.1(a)(i)-(iv) that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 12.6(e), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.1 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.6(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.7 as though it were a Lender.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.1 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to an Eligible Assignee to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledge or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 

98


(g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Section 12.7 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (but without the prior notice to or consent of the Borrower, any such notice and consent being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender under this Section 12.7 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Section 12.8 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the Principal Amounts of the Loan or, if it exceeds such unpaid Principal Amounts, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

Section 12.9 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. Delivery of any executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or transmitted electronically in either a Tagged Image Format File (“TIFF”) or Portable Document Format (“PDF”) shall be equally effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart by facsimile TIFF, or PDF shall also deliver a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, but failure to do so shall not affect the validity, enforceability or binding effect of this Agreement.

 

99


Section 12.10 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by such Agent or such Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Advance, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

Section 12.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 12.18 Confidentiality as to Loan Documents, Etc.. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any written communications provided to the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders prior to or after the date hereof in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are exclusively for the information of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and, along with the identity of Lenders or prospective Lenders may not be disclosed by the Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries to any third party or circulated or referred to publicly without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent except that such information, including the existence and a copy of this Agreement (with the names of the Lenders redacted), may be disclosed, after providing written notice to the Administrative Agent (to the extent legally permissible), pursuant to a subpoena or order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a judicial, administrative or legislative body or committee, or as required by applicable Law; provided that the applicable Loan Party shall have, to the extent legally permissible (i) promptly notified the Administrative Agent of the receipt of any such subpoena or order, (ii) consulted with the Administrative Agent as to the advisability of taking steps to resist or narrow the scope of the disclosure contemplated thereby and (iii) cooperated with the Administrative Agent in any reasonable efforts it may make to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such information. The Loan Parties’ disclosure of the identity of Lenders or prospective Lenders (x) to its officers, directors, agents and advisors (including legal counsel, accountants, and other professional advisors) and employees (to the extent such information is reasonably necessary or beneficial for the performance of their duties) who have been instructed by one or more of the Loan Parties to keep such information confidential, in accordance with this Section 12.18, and (y) in connection with any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of the Loan Parties’ rights hereunder or thereunder, in each case, shall not be subject to the limitations set forth in this Section. Each of the Agents and each Lender agrees that the terms of this Section shall set forth the entire agreement between the Borrower, the Loan Parties and the Agents and each Lender with respect to any confidential information previously received by the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement, and this Section shall supersede any and all prior confidentiality agreements entered into by the Borrower, a Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof with respect to such confidential information.

 

103


Section 12.19 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and each Lender agrees to hold any information relating to the Borrower, the Loan Parties and any of their Subsidiaries furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries in confidence and shall not reveal the same, except for disclosure (i) to its Affiliates and to the Agents and any other Lender and their respective Affiliates, and, in each case, their respective employees, directors, and officers provided such parties have been instructed to keep such information confidential in accordance with this Section 12.19, (ii) to legal counsel, accountants, and other professional advisors to the Agents or such Lender provided such parties have been instructed to keep such information confidential in accordance with this Section 12.19, (iii) to the extent necessary to comply with law or any legal, judicial or administrative process or as otherwise required by law or the requests of any Governmental Authority (in which case such Person, (x) shall limit such disclosure only to the extent necessary to comply with such law, process or request and (y) to the extent permitted by law, agrees to inform the Borrower promptly thereof), (iv) to its direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap agreements or to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to such counterparties provided such parties have agreed to keep such information confidential in accordance with this Section 12.19, (v) to rating agencies if requested or required by such agencies in connection with a rating relating to the Loan hereunder, (vi) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, and (x) to the extent such information (1) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (2) becomes available to the Agents or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof. The Borrower agrees that the terms of this Section shall set forth the entire agreement between the Borrower, the Loan Parties and the Agents and each Lender with respect to any confidential information previously or hereafter received by the Agents or such Lender in connection with this Agreement, and this Section shall supersede any and all prior confidentiality agreements entered into by an Agent or any Lender with respect to such confidential information.

Section 12.20 Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from any Loan Party hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “Specified Currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Specified Currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s main New York City office on the Business Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of each Loan Party in respect of any sum due hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the Specified Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by any Lender (including the Administrative Agent), as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender (including the Administrative Agent), as the case may be, may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the Specified Currency with such other currency. If the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender (including the Administrative Agent), as the case may be, in the Specified Currency, each Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender (including the Administrative Agent), as the case may be, against such loss.

Section 12.21 Electronic Documentation. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of any Loan Document by electronic format (e.g., “pdf”) is effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which

 

104


shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or any applicable state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (“UETA”). The Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Borrower, create a microfilm or optical disk or other electronic image of this Agreement and any or all of the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent may store each such electronic image in its electronic form and then destroy any paper original as part of the Administrative Agent’s normal business practices, with the electronic image deemed to be an original and of the same legal effect, validity, and enforceability as such paper original. The Administrative Agent is authorized, when appropriate, to convert any instrument into a “transferable record” under UETA, with the image of such instrument in the Administrative Agent’s possession constituting an “authoritative copy” under UETA.

FORM OF ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT

THIS ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT (this Agreement), dated as of [_____________], 20[___], by and between [________], a [________] (the “Assignor”) and [________], a [________] (the “Assignee”).

Reference is made to that certain Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement, dated as of January 22, 2020 (as may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), among Cresco Labs Inc., a British Columbia company (the “Borrower”), and the lenders from time to time party thereto (each a “Lender” and collectively the “Lenders”), [Redacted – Confidential], a Delaware limited liability company as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the “Administrative Agent”) and [Redacted – Confidential], a Delaware limited liability company, as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (in such capacity, together with its successor and assigns, the “Collateral Agent”).

1. The Assignor (a) represents and warrants that (i) it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned by it hereunder and that such interest is free and clear of any adverse claim and (ii) it has full power and authority, and has taken all actions necessary, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or the attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien granted by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent in the Collateral, and (c) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto.

Item 3.

News Release

A news release with respect to the material change was disseminated by the Company on January 23, 2020 through Business Wire and subsequently filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

 

Item 4.

Summary of Material Change

On January 22, 2020, the Company entered into a non-brokered credit agreement for a senior secured term loan in an initial aggregate principal amount of up to US$100 million, with a mutual option to increase the size of the facility to a maximum of US$200 million. The Company completed an initial drawdown of US$100 million on January 31, 2020.

 

Item 5.1

Full Description of Material Change

On January 22, 2020, the Company entered into a credit agreement for a senior secured term loan (the “Senior Loan”) in an initial aggregate principal amount of up to US$100 million, which may be increased up to a maximum of US$200 million subject to the approval of the agent and the required lenders. The Company completed an initial drawdown of US$100 million under the Senior Loan on January 31, 2020.

A broad syndicate of lenders provides commitments under the Senior Loan, including U.S. based institutional investors. Members of the Company’s management and board of directors will also be participating as investors in the Senior Loan. Each commitment under the Senior Loan may be for an 18-month or 24-month term, at the lender’s option. Loans made on the initial closing date will bear interest at a rate of approximately 12.7% per annum for 18-month loans and approximately 13.2% for 24-month loans, payable quarterly in arrears. The terms of the Senior Loan were negotiated at arm’s length with the agent and lead investor and include customary restrictive covenants.

The proceeds from the Senior Loan will be used to fund the expansion of the Company’s operations in Illinois, closing and integration costs associated with pending acquisitions, and other strategic growth initiatives in key markets.


The participation of the Company’s management and board in the Senior Loan may constitute a “related party transaction” as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The transaction is exempt from: (i) the valuation requirement of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemption contained in Section 5.5(b), as no securities of the Company are listed or quoted on the specified markets and (ii) the minority shareholder approval requirement of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemption contained in Section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the transaction does not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. The identity of the lenders and the extent of their participation were not finalized until shortly prior to the initial drawdown under the Senior Loan. Accordingly, it was not possible to publicly disclose details of the nature and extent of related party participation in the Senior Loan pursuant to a material change report filed at least 21 days prior to the execution of the credit agreement.

Cresco Labs Closes Acquisition of Hope Heal Health, Inc., Launches First Day of Adult-

Use Cannabis Sales in Massachusetts

CHICAGO— February 07, 2020— Cresco Labs (CSE:CL) (OTCQX:CRLBF) (“Cresco Labs” or “the Company”), one of the largest vertically integrated multistate cannabis operators in the United States, today announced that it has closed the previously announced acquisition of Hope Heal Health, Inc. (“HHH”) after receiving regulatory approval for change in ownership granted by the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (“CCC”). HHH holds licenses for cultivation, product manufacturing, and retail operations in Massachusetts, with the ability to obtain up to two more retail licenses in the state. HHH currently operates a cultivation and manufacturing facility in Fall River, Massachusetts, adjacent to its Fall River Dispensary.

The close of Cresco’s acquisition coincides with the launch of recreational cannabis sales at the

HHH dispensary. The license enables the Company to continue serving its existing medical-use customer base and begin serving the fast-growing adult-use market through the retail and wholesale distribution of Cresco’s house of brands. Massachusetts recorded nearly $450 million in the first year of cannabis sales, according to the CCC.

Cresco Labs CEO and Co-founder Charlie Bachtell, commented, “In our pursuit of achieving the most strategic geographic footprint in the U.S., we are thrilled to begin serving adult-use customers and continue serving medical patients in Massachusetts. Since we originally entered an agreement to acquire HHH in late 2018, we’ve worked with HHH to build a reputation of quality and consistency in what is now the largest adult-use market in the Northeast. Now that we’ve officially closed the acquisition, we’re stepping into a fully operational, vertically integrated business that is immediately accretive with both positive EBITDA and cash flow. We look forward to building out our retail presence under the Sunnyside* brand (pending approval), as well as our wholesale channel and growing our market share as we’ve done successfully in other states.”

There are more than 40 adult-use dispensaries in the Massachusetts market that the Company may now begin distributing its full suite of products to, including Cresco, Remedi, and Mindy’s Edibles. The Fall River dispensary is located less than 20 miles from downtown Providence, RI directly off an Interstate exit and the Company expects adult-use sales to reflect a strong customer base both in the local community and with the Massachusetts tourism market.

All financial information presented in this release is in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted.

Management Commentary

Charlie Bachtell, Co-founder and CEO of Cresco Labs stated, “2019 was a pivotal year for Cresco, as we achieved several major milestones that will have a profound impact on the future success of both our organization and the industry. Throughout the year, we diligently executed the plan laid out for shareholders, delivering strong financial and operational performance and setting the foundation for profitable growth in 2020. We have continued to act as stewards of this industry, successfully leading efforts that resulted in the passage of adult-use legislation in Illinois, and worked side by side with our state administrations to help cannabis achieve ‘essential’ status amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Backed by a strong balance sheet and a world-class leadership team, I am confident in our ability to manage through the current COVID-19 crisis and know that we will emerge from it as a stronger, more profitable company.”

Mr. Bachtell continued, “Our vision is to be the most important company in this industry, while generating sustainable, industry-leading returns on invested capital. Based on evidence from other mature consumer product industries, the highest long-term returns will go to companies that: have a strategic geographic footprint; are dominant players in their chosen markets; own a durable and differentiated brand portfolio; and have the distribution expertise and infrastructure to get those brands onto third-party shelves efficiently. This is Cresco’s strategy. The success we have had in Illinois and Pennsylvania already has proven that we are following the right plan – going deep and focusing on getting our brand portfolio onto third-party shelves. Building on our success last year, in 2020 we are focused on: expanding our market-leading position in Illinois and Pennsylvania; integrating our newest assets and turning California into a center of profitable growth; and building a scalable foundation in other important states. By achieving success in these focus areas, we expect to transition the Company from Adjusted EBITDA positive to cashflow positive progressively through the year.”

Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter Ended December 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $41.4 million, an increase of 144% compared to revenue of $17.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase in revenue was driven by expansion into new markets and continued growth in the states where the Company operates. Fourth quarter 2019 revenue increased 14% compared to $36.2 million for the third quarter of 2019, primarily driven by higher revenue generated in Pennsylvania, Illinois and Arizona as well as the additional revenue from its Valley Ag and HHH acquisitions which are included in the Company’s results starting in October 2019. On a pro forma basis, revenue for the fourth quarter of 2019 increased incrementally from the third quarter of 2019 to $56.0 million, which includes the impact of pending acquisitions and minority investments.

Operational gross profit4, before the impact of biological assets accounting was $21.2 million, or 51% of revenues, an increase of 176% compared to operational gross profit of $7.7 million, or 45% of revenues, for the fourth quarter of 2018. Fourth quarter 2019 operational gross profit increased 24% compared to $17.1 million, or 47% of revenues, for the third quarter of 2019. The change in operational gross profit margin was driven by increased sales and operational efficiencies in the Company’s established markets offset by the impact of emerging and recently acquired businesses where the Company is focused on footprint expansion and relaunching of Cresco-branded products. The Company expects to see higher margins in these developing markets as operations continue to scale.

Total expenses for the fourth quarter of 2019 were $33.5 million, compared to $18.6 million for the prior-year period. Total expenses in the fourth quarter of 2019 included $7.2 million in acquisition and other non-core costs, $4.2 million in expenses related to share-based incentive compensation and $1.4 million of depreciation and amortization. The balance of the increase represents investments made in talent and operational infrastructure to support the Company’s continued revenue growth.

Net loss for the fourth quarter for 2019 was $45.2 million, compared to net loss of $4.4 million for the prior-year period. Current period net loss included income tax expense of $4.3 million.

Adjusted EBITDA, excluding the net impact of the fair value of biological assets, for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $2.9 million compared with $(0.3) million for the prior-year period.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had total assets of $616.6 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $49.1 million. Use of cash in the fourth quarter of 2019 included significant investments in the expansion of cultivation, processing and retail facilities in the Company’s existing markets as well as funding provided for our current and pending acquisitions.

Total shares on a fully converted and diluted basis5 were 307,729,000 as of December 31, 2019.

DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

Cresco Labs Inc.

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

To the Shareholders of Cresco Labs Inc.:

Management of Cresco Labs Inc. and its subsidiaries (combined the “Company”) is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, including responsibility for significant accounting judgements and estimates in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and ensuring that all information in the annual report is consistent with the consolidated financial statements. This responsibility includes selecting appropriate accounting principles and methods, and making decisions affecting the measurement of transactions in which objective judgement is required.

In discharging its responsibilities for the integrity and fairness of the consolidated financial statements, management designs and maintains the necessary accounting systems and related internal controls to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are authorized, assets are safeguarded, and financial records are properly maintained to provide reliable information for the preparation of consolidated financial statements.

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) is responsible for overseeing management in the performance of its financial reporting responsibilities, and for approving the financial information included in the annual report. The Board fulfils these responsibilities by reviewing the financial information prepared by management and discussing relevant matters with management and external auditors. The Audit Committee is also responsible for recommending the appointment of the Company’s external auditors.

Marcum LLP, an independent firm, is appointed by the shareholders to audit the consolidated financial statements and report directly to them; their report follows. The external auditors have full and free access to, and meet periodically and separately with, both the Audit Committee and management to discuss their audit findings.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Shareholders of Cresco Labs Inc.

Our Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Cresco Labs Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2019, the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which include a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Basis For Our Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities For The Audit Of The Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis Of A Matter – Change In Accounting Principle

As disclosed in note 2 (q), the Company adopted IFRS 16, Leases, effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. Our report is not modified with respect to this matter.

Other Matter

The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2018, were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those consolidated financial statements on May 6, 2019.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

LOGO


Independent Auditors’ Report

Page 2

 

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities Of Management And Those Charged With Governance For The Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities For The Audit Of The Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

   

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.


Independent Auditors’ Report

Page 3

 

The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

 

   

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

 

   

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

 

   

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

 

   

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

 

   

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Cresco Labs Inc. (“Cresco” or the “Company”), formerly known as Randsburg International Gold Corp. was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia under the Company Act (British Columbia) on July 6, 1990. On December 30, 1997, the Company changed its name from Randsburg Gold Corporation to Randsburg International Gold Corp. (“Randsburg”) and consolidated its common shares on a five-old for one-new basis.

On November 30, 2018, in connection with the reverse takeover (the “Transaction”) (as described further in Note 3), the Company (i) consolidated its outstanding Randsburg Common Shares on an 812.63 old for one (1) new basis, and (ii) filed an alteration to its Notice of Articles with the British Columbia Registrar of Companies to change its name from Randsburg to Cresco Labs Inc. and to amend the rights and restrictions of its existing classes of common shares, redesignate such classes as the class of Subordinate Voting Shares (“SVS”) and create the classes of Proportionate Voting Shares (“PVS”) and the Super Voting Shares (“MVS”).

Pursuant to the Transaction, among the Company (then Randsburg) and Cresco Labs, LLC (“Cresco Labs”), a series of transactions was completed on November 30, 2018 resulting in a reorganization of Cresco Labs and Randsburg and pursuant to which Randsburg became the indirect parent and sole voting unitholder of Cresco. The transaction constituted a reverse takeover of Randsburg by Cresco Labs under applicable securities laws. Cresco Labs was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of Illinois on October 8, 2013 and is governed by the Pre-Combination LLC Agreement. The Pre-Combination LLC Agreement was further amended and restated in connection with the completion of the Transaction.

The 2018 comparative amounts presented in the financial statements are those of Cresco Labs, LLC.

On December 3, 2018, the Company began trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the ticker symbol “CL.” On March 6, 2019, Cresco shares were approved to be quoted on the Over-the-Counter Market (“OTC”) and is traded under the ticker symbol “CRLBF.” On August 13, 2019, the Company began trading its Euro-denominated shares on the Frankfort Stock Exchange (“FSE”) and are trading under the symbol “6CQ.”

The Company is licensed to cultivate, manufacture and sell wholesale and retail cannabis and wholesale and retail cannabis products. The Company operates in and/or has ownership interests in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, California, Maryland, Nevada, Arizona, New York and Massachusetts, pursuant to the Illinois Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act, the Pennsylvania Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Act, the Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program, the California Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act, the Maryland Medical Marijuana Act, the Nevada Revised Statutes section 453A, the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act, the New York Compassionate Care Act and the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission, respectively.

The Company’s head office is located at Suite 110, 400 W Erie St., Chicago, IL 60654 and the registered office is located at Suite 2200, 1055 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 2E9.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

  (a)

Basis of Preparation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) in effect for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

The consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on April 28, 2020.

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

 

  (b)

Basis of Measurement

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, except for biological assets, which are measured at fair value less costs to sell; certain investments in associates, which are accounted for under the equity method; loans receivable measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”); and certain investments, derivative instruments, and deferred and contingent consideration, which are recorded at fair value. Historical cost is generally based upon the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets and the contractual obligation for liabilities.

Management has applied judgements in concluding that there remain no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast doubt upon the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, which judgments include effect of subsequent events (see note 26); and the Company’s ability to realize its assets and settle its obligations in the normal course of operations for at least twelve months from the date of the financial statements.

 

  (c)

Classification of Expenses

The expenses within the accompanying statements of operations are presented by function. See Note 16 for details of expenses by nature.

 

  (d)

Functional and Presentation Currency

The Company’s functional currency and that of all its subsidiaries, as determined by management, is the United States (“U.S.”) dollar. The Company’s presentation currency is the U.S. dollar. As such, the accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. All references to “C$” refer to Canadian dollars. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are re-measured into the functional currency using period-end exchange rates. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in Other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

 

  (e)

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries with intercompany balances and transactions eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are those entities over which the Company has the power over the investee, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. The following are Cresco’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and entities over which the Company has control as of December 31, 2019:

Cresco U.S. Corp., which is wholly owned by the Company, is the sole manager of Cresco Labs, LLC; Cresco Labs, LLC is the sole owner and manager of Cresco Labs Note Issuer, LLC. Therefore, the Company controls Cresco Labs Note Issuer, LLC and has consolidated its results into the Consolidated financial statements.

Non-controlling interests (“NCI”) represent ownership interests in consolidated subsidiaries by parties that are not shareholders of the Company. They are shown as a component of total equity in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, and the share of income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests is shown as a component of net loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Changes in the parent company’s ownership that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.

 

  (f)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash deposits in financial institutions, other deposits that are readily convertible into cash and cash on hand. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

 

  (g)

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents amounts held in escrow related to the Company’s pending acquisitions. The Company held $5,050 thousand and $6,726 thousand of restricted cash as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

  (h)

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivables are classified as financial assets initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost, less any provisions for impairment. When an account receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the provision. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

 

  (i)

Biological Assets

The Company’s biological assets consist of cannabis plants and are valued at fair value less costs to sell up to the point of harvest, which becomes the basis for the cost of internally produced Work-in-process and Finished Goods inventory after harvest. The net unrealized gains or losses arising from changes in fair value less costs to sell during the year are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

 

10


Cresco Labs Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

 

All production costs related to biological assets are expensed as incurred and are included as Cost of sales – production costs. They include the direct cost of seeds and growing materials as well as other indirect costs such as utilities and supplies used in the growing process. Indirect labor for individuals involved in the growing and quality control process is also included, as well as depreciation on production equipment and overhead costs such as rent to the extent it is associated with the growing space. Unrealized fair value gains/losses on growth of biological assets are recorded in a separate line on the face of the income statement.

The Company capitalizes cost incurred after harvest to bring the products to their present location and condition in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 2 Inventories.

 

  (j)

Inventory

Inventories of purchased finished goods and packing materials are initially valued at cost and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventories of harvested cannabis are transferred from biological assets at their fair value less costs to sell at harvest which becomes the deemed cost. Any subsequent post-harvest costs are capitalized to inventory. Post-harvest costs include costs such as materials, labor and depreciation expense on equipment involved in manufacturing, packaging, labeling and inspection. Net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Products for resale and supplies and consumables are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value.

The Company reviews inventory for obsolete, redundant and slow-moving goods and any such inventory is written-down to net realizable value.

 

  (k)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Land is recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the useful life of the asset. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. Equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying value of the asset) is included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss in the year the asset is derecognized.

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

 

  (l)

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are recorded at cost, less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any.

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date or date of consolidation/control. Amortization of definite-lived intangible assets is recorded on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which do not exceed the contractual period, if any, over the following terms:

 

Market Related Intangibles (Trade Names)

     18 months  

Customer Relationships

     8 years  

Non-Compete Agreements

     4 - 5 years  

Permit Application Fees

     1 - 2 years  

The estimated useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each year end, and any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively. Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization. The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of licenses, which, for valuation purposes, represent the future benefits associated with the Company’s cultivation, processing, and dispensary licenses. Absent such license intangibles, the Company cannot continue as a going concern and as such, there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which these assets are expected to generate future cash inflows to the Company.

Definite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment when there is an indication of impairment. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or more frequently as warranted if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment (refer to Note 10 for additional detail on impairment tests). For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not recognize any impairment losses.

 

  (m)

Investments in Associates

The Company determines how to account for investments based on the level of control it has over the investment. If control is determined, then the investment should be consolidated. Investments in which the Company has significant influence, but no control, are considered investments in associates. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but without control or joint control over those policies. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Interests in associates accounted for using the equity method are initially recognized at cost. The carrying value is then adjusted for the Company’s share of comprehensive income (loss), additional contributions and distributions from the investee. The carrying value of associates is assessed for impairment at each balance sheet date. Investments that the Company does not have control or significant influence over are first recognized at cost. At each reporting period, changes from the initial cost and fair value are recognized through profit and loss. The Company’s investments in equity-accounted investees are classified within Investments in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

 

  (n)

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid for the acquisition of a business over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is allocated to the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) or CGUs which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently as warranted if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets have been allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs representing the lowest level that the assets are monitored for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment by comparing the carrying value of each CGU containing the assets to its recoverable amount (the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use); an

 

12


Cresco Labs Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

 

impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognized in respect of a CGU are first allocated to the carrying value of goodwill and any excess is allocated to the carrying amount of assets in the CGU. Any goodwill impairment loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss in the period in which the impairment is identified. Impairment losses on goodwill are not subsequently reversed. The Company’s most recent goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter did not result in the recognition of any impairment losses. The Company has not recorded any goodwill impairment for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Tax expense recognized in profit or loss comprises the sum of current and deferred taxes not recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) or directly in equity.

Current Tax

Current tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those claims from, or obligations to, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods that are unpaid at the reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the financial statements. Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred Tax

Deferred taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realization, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be utilized against future taxable income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Company has a right and intention to offset current tax assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority. Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax income or expense in profit or loss, except where they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) or equity, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s primary source of revenue is from wholesale of cannabis products to dispensary locations and direct retail sales to eligible customers at the Company owned dispensaries.

The Company adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the modified retrospective approach as of the date of initial application on January 1, 2018, with no revision of comparative period amounts. As the effect of adopting IFRS 15 did not have a material impact on the financial statements, there was no adjustment made to the opening balance of equity at the date of initial application.

The standard includes a five-step model for contracts with customers as follows:

 

  1.

Identify the contract with a customer;

 

  2.

Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

 

  3.

Determine the transaction price, which is the total consideration provided by the customer;

 

  4.

Allocate the transaction price among the performance obligations in the contract based on their relative fair values; and

 

  5.

Recognize revenue when the relevant criteria are met for each unit (at a point in time or over time).

The Company recognizes revenue upon satisfaction of the performance obligation, when control of the promised goods is transferred to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods, upon delivery and acceptance by wholesale and retail customers.

Contract Costs

In accordance with IFRS 15, incremental costs to obtain a contract are capitalized and amortized over the contract term if the cost are expected to be recoverable. The Company does not capitalize incremental costs to obtain a contract where the contract duration is expected to be one year or less. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any costs capitalized.

 

  (q)

Change in Accounting Policy—Leases

In January 2016, the IASB published IFRS 16 Leases, replacing IAS 17 Leases IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease. IFRS 16 introduced a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize assets for the right to use as well as lease liabilities for the outstanding lease payments. The Company adopted IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application, without revising prior periods.

IFRS 16 permits entities to elect a number of practical expedients to simplify the adoption of IFRS 16 as well as the ongoing application of IFRS 16.

Upon adoption of IFRS 16, the Company elected to adopt the following practical expedients:

 

   

The existing leases were not reassessed at the initial application date to determine whether or not they are leases under the criteria of IFRS 16. Instead, contracts classified as leases under IAS 17 or IFRIC 4 will continue to be accounted for as leases;

 

   

Leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application of the standard were treated as short-term leases and recognized as rent expense within Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) in the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term; and

 

   

A single discount rate was applied to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.

On an ongoing basis, the Company elected to adopt the following practical expedient:

 

   

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use (“ROU“) assets and lease liabilities where the total lease term is less than or equal to 12 months. The payments for such leases are recognized as rent expense within SG&A in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has real estate leases for retail stores, cultivation facilities, corporate offices, and equipment leases. At inception of a contract, the Company estimates whether the contract includes a lease. A contract contains a lease if it includes enforceable rights and obligations under which the right to control the use of an identified asset is conveyed for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company recognized a ROU asset and a lease liability at the commencement date – the date when the asset is available for use by the lessee.

The Company assesses at lease commencement whether it is reasonably certain to exercise extension or termination options. The Company reassesses its lease portfolio to determine whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the options if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances within its control. The extension options which are considered reasonably certain to be exercised are mainly those for which operational decisions have been made which make the leased assets vital to the continued relevant business activities.

Liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities include the value of the following payments:

 

   

Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable;

 

   

The exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

 

   

Penalties for early termination of the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising an option to terminate the lease.

The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The lease liability is decreased by cash paid less interest expense incurred. The lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise an extension, purchase, or termination option.

ROU assets are measured at cost and are comprised of the following:

 

   

The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;

 

   

Lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received;

 

   

Any initial direct costs; and

 

   

An estimate of costs of dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or the underlying asset, if applicable.

The ROU asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis from the commencement date to the end of the lease term. The depreciation expense on ROU assets replaces rent expense. The value of the ROU asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain revaluations of the lease liability.

On initial application, the Company elected to measure the ROU assets on a lease-by-lease basis at either 1) an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments or deferred rent payments or 2) at its carrying amount as if IFRS 16 had been applied since the commencement date but discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019.

On initial application, the lease payments were discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate was 13%.

The Company recognized a ROU asset of $32,519 thousand, lease liability of $37,707 thousand, accumulated deficit of $1,466 thousand, a reduction of deferred rent of $2,196 thousand and a reduction of non-controlling interest of $1,526 thousand at January 1, 2019. The cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit and NCI was a result of measuring the ROU asset for certain leases as if IFRS 16 had been applied since their respective commencement dates.

Share and Unit-Based Compensation

The Company measures equity settled share and unit-based payments based on their fair value at the grant date and recognizes compensation expense over the vesting period based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. Expected forfeitures are estimated at the date of grant and subsequently adjusted if further information indicates actual forfeitures may vary from the original estimate. The impact of the revision of the original estimate is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate. For share and unit-based payments granted to non-employees, the compensation expense is measured at the fair value of the good and services received except where the fair value cannot be estimated in which case it is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted. The fair value of share and unit-based compensation to non-employees is periodically re-measured until counterparty performance is complete, and any change therein is recognized over the period and in the same manner as if the Company had paid cash instead of paying with or using equity instruments.

For awards where the holder has the election of settling their award in either cash or equity, the fair value of share-based compensation is remeasured at the end of each reporting period until the corresponding awards vest.

 

  (s)

Financial Instruments

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. IFRS 9 requires all recognized financial assets to be measured at amortized cost or fair value in subsequent accounting periods following initial recognition. IFRS 9 also amends the requirements around hedge accounting, and introduces a single, forward looking expected loss impairment model. All financial assets and financial liabilities, in respect of financial instruments, are recognized on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Position when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are incremental and are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expires, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. The classification of financial instruments dictates how these assets and liabilities are measured subsequently in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

  (i)

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss

Financial instruments are classified as FVTPL when they are held for trading. A financial instrument is held for trading if it was acquired for the purpose of sale in the near term. Derivative financial instruments that are not designated and effective as hedging instruments are also classified as FVTPL. Financial instruments classified as FVTPL are stated at fair value with any changes in fair value recognized in earnings for the period. Financial assets in this category include certain short-term investments, derivatives and contingent consideration.

 

  (ii)

Financial Assets Measured at Amortized Cost

Financial assets measured at amortized cost are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are initially recognized at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Financial assets in this category include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade receivables, other receivables, and loans receivable.

Loans receivable primarily consist of loans to entities in which the Company has a potential future investment. These loans are measured at either FVTPL if they have derivative qualities or at amortized cost, less expected credit losses.

 

  (iii)

Impairment of Financial Assets

The Company assesses at each statement of financial position date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

The Company recognizes expected credit losses (“ECL”) for trade receivables based on the simplified approach under IFRS 9. The simplified approach to the recognition of expected losses does not require the Company to track the changes in credit risk; rather, the Company recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date from the date of the trade receivable.

Evidence of impairment may include indications that a debtor or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicates that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. Trade receivables are reviewed qualitatively on a case-by-case basis to determine whether they need to be written off.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the Company recognizes loss allowances for ECLs on its financial assets measured at amortized cost. ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. The Company applies a three-stage approach to measure ECLs. The Company measures loss allowance at an amount equal to 12 months of expected losses for performing loans receivable if the credit risk at the reporting date has not increased significantly since initial recognition (Stage 1) and at an amount equal to lifetime expected losses on loans receivable that have experienced a significant increase in credit risk since origination (Stage 2) and at an amount equal to lifetime expected losses which are credit impaired (Stage 3).

 

17


Cresco Labs Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

 

The Company considers a significant increase in credit risk to have occurred if contractual payments are more than 30 days past due and considers the loans receivable to be in default if they are 90 days past due. A significant increase in credit risk or default may have also occurred if there are other qualitative factors (including forward looking information) to consider; such as borrower specific information (i.e., change in credit assessment).

Objective evidence of impairment of financial assets carried at amortized cost exists if the counterparty is experiencing significant financial difficulty, there is a breach of contract, concessions are granted to the counterparty that would not normally be granted, or it is probable the counterparty will enter into bankruptcy or a financial reorganization.

 

  (iv)

Financial Liabilities Measured at Amortized Cost

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are recognized initially at fair value net of any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Other financial liabilities are de-recognized when the obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. Financial liabilities in this category include accounts payable and accrued liabilities and deferred consideration and other payables.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding, for the effects of all dilutive potential shares, which are comprised of redeemable LLC shares, warrants, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and options issued. Items with an anti-dilutive impact are excluded from the calculation. The number of shares included with respect to options, warrants and RSUs is computed using the treasury stock method.

 

  (u)

Significant Accounting Judgements, Estimates, and Assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s accompanying consolidated financial statements under IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates, and assumptions about the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities. Estimates and related assumptions are based on historical experience and other relevant factors. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis for reasonableness and relevancy. Where revisions are required, they are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised for the current as well as future periods that are affected.

Cresco Labs Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

 

Significant judgements, estimates, and assumptions that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are described below.

 

  (i)

ECL on Loan Receivables and Trade Receivables

The Company calculates ECLs for trade receivables based on the historical default rates over the expected life of the trade receivable and adjusts for forward-looking estimates, which is determined through the exercise of judgement. The Company calculates ECLs for loan receivables by considering cash shortfalls on a discounted basis it would incur in various default scenarios for prescribed future periods and multiplying the shortfalls by the probability of each scenario occurring, which is determined through the exercise of judgement. The Company’s ECL models rely on forward looking information and economic inputs, such as default rates, industry growth rate, licensing rules, etc. The inputs and models used for calculating expected credit losses may not always capture all characteristics of the market at the date of the financial statements. To reflect this, qualitative adjustments or overlays may be made as temporary adjustments using expert credit judgement. The allowance the Company records, if any, is the sum of these probability weighted outcomes.

 

  (ii)

Biological assets and Inventory

The valuation of biological assets at the point of harvest is the cost basis for all cannabis-based inventory and thus any critical estimates and judgements related to the valuation of biological assets are also applicable for inventory. In calculating the value of the biological assets and inventory, the estimates management makes includes estimating the stage of growth of the cannabis up to the point of harvest, harvesting costs, selling costs, average or expected selling prices and expected yields for the cannabis plants. In calculating final inventory values, management compares the inventory cost to estimated net realizable value. The Company must also determine if the cost of any inventory exceeds its net realizable value, such as cases where prices have decreased, or inventory has spoiled or has otherwise been damaged. Further information on estimates used in determining the fair value of biological assets is contained in Note 5.

 

  (iii)

Estimated Useful Lives, Depreciation of Property and Equipment, and Amortization of Intangible Assets

Depreciation of property and equipment is dependent upon estimates of useful lives which are determined through the exercise of judgement.

Amortization of intangible assets is dependent upon estimates of useful lives which are determined through the exercise of judgement.

 

  (iv)

Property and Equipment Impairment

The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets at the end of each reporting period whenever there is any indication that a long-lived asset is impaired. Such indicators include evidence of physical damage, indicators that the economic performance of the asset is worse than expected, or that the decline in asset value is more than the passage of time or normal use, or significant changes occur with an adverse effect on the Company’s business. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. An asset is impaired when its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The Company measures impairment based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the long-lived asset. The fair value is determined primarily by using the projected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved as well as market valuations. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that the fair values are reduced for an estimate of the cost to dispose or abandon.

  (v)

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets has been impaired. In order to determine if the value of these assets has been impaired, the CGU to which the assets have been allocated must be valued using present value techniques. When applying this valuation technique, the Company relies on a number of factors, including historical results, business plans, forecasts, market data and discount rates. Changes in the conditions for these judgements and estimates can significantly affect the assessed value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles. The Company has determined that the goodwill associated with all acquisitions belongs to each respective state as this is the lowest level at which management monitors goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles. See Note 10 for additional detail.

 

  (vi)

Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions

Determination of an acquisition as a business combination or an asset acquisition depends on whether the assets acquired constitute a business. The classification can have a significant impact on the accounting on and subsequent to the acquisition date.

 

  a.

Business Combinations

A business combination is a transaction or event in which an acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses and is accounted for by applying the acquisition method. The total consideration transferred in a business combination is the sum of the fair values of assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity interests issued by the acquirer in exchange for control of the acquiree. The acquisition date is the date where the Company obtains control of the acquiree. The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their acquisition date fair values, except for deferred taxes and share-based payment awards where IFRS 3 Business Combinations provides exceptions to recording the amounts at fair value. Acquisition costs are expensed to profit or loss.

In determining the fair value of all identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired, the most significant estimates relate to contingent consideration and intangible assets. Management exercises judgement in estimating the probability and timing of when contingent payments are expected to be made and at what amounts, which is used as the basis for estimating fair value. For any intangible asset identified, depending on the type of intangible asset and the complexity of determining its fair value, an independent valuation expert or management may develop the fair value, using appropriate valuation techniques, which are generally based on a forecast of the total expected future net cash flows. The evaluations are linked closely to the assumptions made by management regarding the future performance of these assets and any changes in the discount rate applied.

Non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, is recognized either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets, determined on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. For each acquisition, the excess of total consideration over the fair value of previously held equity interest prior to obtaining control, and the non-controlling interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, is recorded as goodwill.

  b.

Asset Acquisitions

Acquisitions that do not meet the definition of a business combination are accounted for as an asset acquisition. Consideration paid for an asset acquisition is allocated to the individual identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. Goodwill is not recorded as a result of an asset acquisition.

 

  (vii)

Control Over the Investee, Principles of Consolidation

The Company examines three elements to determine whether control exists. When all of these three elements of control are present, then an investor is considered to control an investee and consolidation is required. When one or more of the elements is not present, an investor will not consolidate but instead be required to determine the nature of its relationship with the investee. The three elements of control that serve as the basis of consolidation include: identify the investee, understand the purpose and design of the investee, and identify the relevant activities of the investee and how decisions about these relevant activities are made. The Company exercises its judgement when determining control over an investee in when it has all of the following attributes: power over the investee, such as the ability to direct relevant activities of the investee; exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, such as returns that are not fixed and have the potential to vary with performance of the investee; and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns, such as identifying the link between power and returns.

Cresco Labs Inc. through Cresco U.S. Corp has control over Cresco Labs, LLC. Despite holding only a minority interest, the Company has the full decision-making power over Cresco Labs. According to IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, an investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The Company has the right to direct all the relevant activities of Cresco Labs and to affect its returns under the amended and restated LLC Agreement. The Company is also exposed to variable returns through its own shareholding in the Cresco Labs. The Company also exercises judgement in applying the provisions of IFRS 10 to determine when to consolidate its acquired entities, which may occur before the related transactions have been fully funded. See Note 14 for additional information.

 

  (viii)

Share-Based Compensation

In calculating the share-based compensation expense, key estimates such as the rate of forfeiture of awards granted, the expected life of options, the volatility of the Company’s stock price and the risk-free interest rate are used.

 

  (ix)

Income Tax

Provisions for taxes are made using the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. The Company reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of the reporting period. However, it is possible that at some future date an additional liability could result from audits by taxing authorities. Where the final outcome of these tax-related matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will affect the tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

 

  (x)

Implementation of IFRS 16

The adoption of IFRS 16 Leases required, as of January 1, 2019, the Company to assess its significant judgements and certain key estimates when applying the standard in Note 2(q) and Note 8.

 

21


Cresco Labs Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

 

Critical judgements required in the application of IFRS 16 include the following:

 

   

Identifying whether a contract or part of a contract includes a lease at inception of the contract. The Company’s assessment includes the exercise of judgement about whether the contract depends on a specific asset, whether the Company obtains substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset, and whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset and non-lease components;

 

   

Identifying lease components and allocating the consideration to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of each lease component. The Company assesses each lease component for a right to use an underlying asset and, if necessary, determines the relative stand-alone price for each lease component based on current market prices;

 

   

Determining whether it is reasonably certain that an extension, purchase or termination option will be exercised, on a lease by lease basis. The Company considers all facts and circumstances and examines whether there is an economic incentive or penalty affecting the decision to exercise an option; and

 

   

Establishing whether there are multiple leases in an arrangement. The Company’s assessment includes the exercise of judgement whether it has the right to control multiple assets within a contract.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty in the application of IFRS 16 include the following:

 

   

Estimating the lease term. The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of the lease at the commencement date, adjusted for any purchase, renewal or termination options it deems reasonably certain to exercise;

 

   

Determining the appropriate incremental borrowing rate specific to each leased asset. The Company establishes incremental borrowing rates used as discount factors in discounting payments reflecting the Company’s borrowing rate, duration of lease term and credit spread; and

 

   

Assessing whether a ROU asset is impaired if indicators are present.

Unanticipated changes in these judgements or estimates could affect the identification and determination of the fair value of lease liabilities and ROU assets at initial recognition, as well as the subsequent measurement of lease liabilities and ROU assets. Changes in the economic environment or changes in the cannabis and retail industry may impact Management’s assessment of lease terms, and any changes in Management’s estimate of lease terms may have a material impact on the Company’s statement of financial position and Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. In addition, the Company’s assessed incremental borrowing rates are subject to change mainly due to macroeconomic changes in the environment and cannabis industry and the Company’s creditworthiness.

These items could potentially result in changes to amounts reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and Financial Position of the Company.

Sale and Leaseback Accounting

A sale and leaseback transaction involves the transfer of an asset to another entity and the leaseback of the same asset. The Company applies IFRS 15 and IFRS 16 when accounting for sale and leaseback transactions. A sale and leaseback is recognized as a sale when the control of the asset has been transferred to the purchaser. The Company recognizes any gain or loss related to the transfer of rights of the asset to the buyer-lessor and measures the ROU asset arising from the leaseback at the retained portion of the previous carrying amount.

 

  (v)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following IFRS standards have been recently issued by the IASB. Pronouncements that are not applicable to the Company have been excluded herein.

 

  (i)

IAS 28 Long-term Interests (“IAS 28”)

In October 2017, the IASB amended IAS 28, Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures. The amendments were added to clarify that an entity applies IFRS 9 Financial Instruments to long-term interests in an associate or joint venture that form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture but to which the equity method is not applied. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2019 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

  (ii)

IFRS 3 Business Combination (“IFRS 3”)

In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations, Definition of Business. The amendments clarify that to be considered a business, an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. It also narrowed the definitions of a business and of outputs by focusing on goods and services provided to customers and by removing the reference to an ability to reduce costs and removed the assessment of whether market participants are capable of replacing any missing inputs or processes and continuing to produce outputs. In addition, the amendments added an optional concentration test that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business.

The amendments must be applied to transactions that are either business combinations or asset acquisitions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2020. Consequently, entities do not have to revisit such transactions that occurred in prior periods. Earlier application is permitted and must be disclosed. The Company elected early application for interim and annual periods beginning July 1, 2019. There was no impact from the adoption of IFRS 3 amendments related to the year ended December 31, 2019.

REVERSE TAKEOVER TRANSACTION

On October 10, 2018, Randsburg and the Company announced that they had entered into a binding letter agreement to affect a transaction that resulted in a reverse takeover of Randsburg by Cresco.

The Transaction was treated for accounting purposes as an asset acquisition of Randsburg by Cresco. In consideration for the acquisition of Randsburg, the Company issued SVS of Cresco for each outstanding common share of Randsburg totaling approximately 258,205 SVS to shareholders of Randsburg.

Additionally, each Randsburg share purchase warrant which gives the holder the right to acquire shares in the common stock of Randsburg when presented for execution will be exchanged for a warrant which will give the holder the right to acquire SVS of Cresco on the same basis as the exchange of Randsburg common shares for Cresco SVS. These warrants were classified as derivative liabilities and measured at FVTPL. They have been included in the purchase consideration at their fair value of approximately $146 thousand based on the Black-Scholes pricing model.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

 

The Company accounted for the Transaction as a deemed issuance of shares for the purchase of the net nil net assets of Randsburg. A non-cash listing expense of $1,839 thousand is based on the following: 258,205 shares measured at a fair value of $6.54 per share ($1,693 thousand) and 53,325 purchase warrants measured at a fair value of $2.74 per share ($146 thousand). As a result of the reverse takeover, the Company recorded $1,654 thousand of transaction costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss as a selling, general, and administrative expense during the period ended December 31, 2018. See Note 16 for further detail. As part of the Transaction, unit holders of Cresco Labs, LLC exchanged their units for a new class of redeemable units in Cresco Labs, LLC. Each Redeemable unit is only exchangeable for the equivalent of one SVS in Cresco Labs Inc. (without any obligation to redeem in cash). On close of the transaction, the former unit holders of Cresco Labs, LLC controlled approximately 59% of the continuing entity through the Redeemable units. These unit holders hold an interest only in Cresco Labs, LLC; they participate in the earnings of only Cresco Labs, LLC and not the earnings of the combined entity. Therefore, in accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations, this is presented as a non-controlling interest in the reverse takeover, the value of which was recognized at its proportionate interest in the pre-combination carrying amounts of Cresco Labs, LLC. See Note 12 for further detail.

Biological assets are measured at fair value less costs to sell until harvest. All production costs related to biological assets are expensed as incurred. The fair value measurements for biological assets have been categorized as Level 3 fair values based on the inputs to the valuation technique used. The fair value was determined using an expected cash flow model which assumes the biological assets at the balance sheet date will grow to maturity, be harvested and converted into finished goods inventory and sold in the retail and medical cannabis market.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

This model utilizes the following significant assumptions:

 

Inputs and

assumptions

  

Calculation method

  

Effect changes of unobservable inputs

has on fair value

Selling price per

gram, less cost to sell

   Based on observable market data or calculated wholesale prices with reasonable margins.    An increase in selling price per gram would increase the fair value of biological assets.
Attrition rate    Based on weighted average number of plants lost during each stage of production.    An increase in attrition rate would result in a decrease to the fair value of biological assets.

Average yield per

plant

   Based on the average number of grams of dried cannabis inventory expected to be harvested from each cannabis plant.    An increase to the average yield per plant would result in an increase to the fair value of biological assets.

Cumulative stage of

completion in the

production process

   Based on an average number of days in production over a total average grow cycle of between 15 and 20 weeks.    An increase to the average stage of completion of the plants would result in an increase to the fair value of biological assets.

The Company’s estimates are, by their nature, subject to change and differences from the above assumptions will be reflected in the unrealized gain or loss on changes in fair value of biological assets in future periods.

The Company estimates the harvest yields for cannabis at various stages of growth. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, it was expected that the Company’s biological assets would yield approximately 13,142 thousand and 6,506 thousand grams, respectively.

The Company has quantified the sensitivity of the inputs in relation to biological assets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and expects the following effect on fair value as shown in the table below:

INVENTORY

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, inventory was comprised primarily of cannabis and cannabis-related products. The Company wrote off $8,421 thousand and $nil of inventory during years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, due to obsolescence primarily related to damaged work-in-process inventory in its Ohio operation. This write-off is included in the Realized changes in fair value of inventory sold presented on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had inventory reserves of $173 thousand.

  (b)

Investment in Associates

The Company’s ownership stake in CHP Fresco, a real estate holding entity that owns indirect investments in entities that own properties used in the Company’s Illinois production facilities, was approximately 13%. However, based on various qualitative factors surrounding the investment, such as representation in management of the entity and its relationship as lessee with the investee entities, the Company has determined it confers significant influence. Certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors and management have an additional non-controlling interest in CHP Fresco. The following is a summary of the investment held as of December 31, 2019 and 2018:

(a) 

Other Intangibles includes market related intangibles and non-compete agreements.

Amortization expense of $2,911 thousand and $916 thousand was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, of which $1,364 thousand and $458 thousand, respectively, is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses, with the remainder in Cost of sales – production costs and ending inventory.

As of December 31, 2019, ending inventory includes $253 thousand of capitalized amortization. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, $1,371 and $534 thousand of amortization expense was recorded to Cost of sales – production costs, which includes $88 and $83 thousand, respectively, related to amortization capitalized in prior periods.

License intangible assets of $65,400 thousand were acquired from business combinations (Note 14) and are classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets as the Company cannot continue as a going concern without such licenses.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets have been allocated to CGUs representing the lowest level that the assets are monitored for internal reporting purposes. CGUs are determined based on the smallest identifiable group of assets that generate cash inflows that are largely independent of cash inflows from other assets or group of assets. Management has determined the Company’s CGUs that hold such goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets to be Illinois, Maryland, Arizona, New York and Massachusetts.

Annual impairment testing involves determining the recoverable amount of the CGU group to which goodwill is allocated and comparing this to the carrying value of the CGU groups. The measurement of the recoverable amount of the CGU groups was calculated based on the higher of the CGUs fair value less costs to sell or value in use, which are Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy.

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

 

The calculation of the recoverable amount based on discounting the future cash flows (value in use) was based on the following key assumptions:

 

   

Cash flows were projected based on the Company’s long-term business plan for the periods 2020 through 2024.

 

   

Cash flows beyond 2024 were projected to grow at a perpetual growth rate, which was estimated to be 3%.

 

   

The business plan contains forecasts based on past experience of actual operating results in conjunction with anticipated future growth opportunities. While the forecast does assume some base business expansion, largely related to synergies gained through further incorporation of recent acquisitions into the Company’s infrastructure, the primary engine of growth is strategic in nature and is consistent with the projects and expectations as articulated in the Company’s strategic plan.

 

   

Discount rates applied in determining the recoverable amount of the CGU groups were 14.5% based on the pre-tax weighted average cost of capital of each CGU group and other competitors in the industry. The values assigned to the key assumptions represent Management’s assessment of future trends in the industries in which the CGU groups operate and are based on both external and internal sources and historical trend data.

The Company believes a reasonable increase or decrease in the discount rates or perpetual growth rates used in the analysis would not cause the recoverable amount to decrease below the carrying value.

  ii.

Unlimited Number of Proportionate Voting Shares

Holders of PVS will be entitled to notice of and to attend at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company, except a meeting of which only holders of another particular class or series of shares of the Company will have the right to vote. At each such meeting, holders of PVS will be entitled to one vote in respect of each SVS into which such PVS could ultimately be converted to 200 votes per PVS. As long as any PVS remain outstanding, the Company will not, without the consent of the holders of the PVS and Super Voting Shares by separate special resolution, prejudice or interfere with any right or special right attached to the PVS. The holder of PVS shall have the right to receive dividends, out of any cash or other assets legally available therefore, pari passu as to dividends and any declaration or payment of any dividend on the SVS.

During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, 186 thousand and 24 thousand PVS were exchanged for 37,122 thousand and 4,837 thousand SVS, respectively, at a rate of 1 PVS for 200 SVS.

At each such meeting holders of MVS shall be entitled to 2,000 votes in respect of each MVS held.

 

  iv.

Pre-RTO Capital Structure

Prior to the reverse takeover transaction, the Company was authorized to have six classes of units (the “Units”), designated as Founder’s Units (“Founder’s Units”), Class A Units (“A Units”), Class B Units (“B Units”), Class C Units (“C Units”), Class D Units (“D Units”), Class E Units (“E Units”), and Class F Units (“F Units”). Under the Company’s Operating Agreement (the “Agreement”), the Founder’s Units, A Units, B Units, C Units, E Units and F Units were identical in all respects except that C Units are non-voting. To the extent the Founder’s Units represented not less than fifteen percent of all outstanding Units, the Founder’s Units, as a class, had voting rights equal to the greater of the actual voting rights of the Founder’s Units and fifty percent plus one vote of the aggregate voting rights of the Company’s outstanding units. If the Founder’s Units represented less than fifteen percent of the outstanding Units, the Founder’s Units, A Units, B Units, E Units and F Units would vote as a single class, with each Unit representing one vote.

D Units are issued pursuant to a Profits Interest Plan, which is defined as any profits interest award plan of the Company, as amended, modified, supplemented, or replaced from time to time. D Units were awarded to individuals at fair value and had no voting rights.

The fair value of stock options granted was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following range of assumptions at the time of the grant:

 

     2019    2018

Risk-free annual interest rate

   1.97% to 2.49%    2.53% to 2.77%

Expected annual dividend yield

   0%    0%

Expected stock price volatility

   77% to 88%    49% to 99%

Expected life of stock options

   5.5 to 7 years    2.5 to 7 years

Forfeiture rate

   0% to 3%    0%

Fair value at grant date

   $3.88 to $8.26    $0.00 to $3.71

Stock price at grant date

   $5.90 to $11.25    $1.14 to $6.75

Exercise price range

   $5.90 to $11.25    $1.14 to $6.50

Volatility was estimated by using the average historical volatility of comparable companies from a representative peer group of publicly traded companies. The expected life in years represents the period of time that options issued are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on U.S. treasury bills with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options.

During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the weighted-average fair value of stock options granted was $5.52 and $1.39 per option, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, stock options outstanding have a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 8.7 years.

Restricted stock units

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company established an RSU program to provide employees an additional avenue to participate in the successes of the Company. The fair value of RSUs granted was determined by the fair value of the Company’s share price on the date of grant. A number of RSUs granted have the ability to settle in cash. These awards have been determined to be liability-classified awards and are required to be marked-to-market as of the end of each reporting period. The Company recorded $339 thousand in Deferred consideration, contingent consideration and other payables on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position related to these awards.

No goodwill for any acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Additionally, per IFRS 3, the Company will retrospectively adjust the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of the acquisition date. During the measurement period, the Company will also recognize additional assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date. The measurement period ends as soon as the Company receives the information it was seeking about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date or learns that more information is not obtainable. However, the measurement period shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation for these transactions is substantially complete, with the exception of certain amounts related to valuation of certain fixed assets, intangible assets and income taxes. Purchase accounting is expected to be completed within twelve months from the acquisition dates.

As a result of this acquisition, Cresco Labs now holds one of 10 vertically integrated cannabis business licenses granted in the State of New York by the New York State Department of Health.

Total consideration for the acquisition was $129,574 thousand. Total consideration consisted of $18,774 thousand in cash consideration, equity consideration of $48,881 which consisted of 8,660 thousand PVS (as converted), warrants classified as long-term derivative liabilities convertible into 2,000 thousand PVS (as converted) valued at $5,437 thousand, $25,990 in deferred cash consideration, valued at present value, $20,346 thousand in contingent consideration and settlement of a loan receivable valued at $10,146 thousand. The maximum payment of contingent consideration is 4,800 thousand PVS (as converted) (includes potential fractional shares to be paid in cash) of which the ultimate value will fluctuate along with the movement of the Company’s stock price. See section (c) and (d) of this note for discussion of the methodology of the calculation of contingent consideration. See Note 20 for additional detail on liability-classified warrants.

MedMar Inc., MedMar Lakeview, LLC, and MedMar Rockford, LLC (collectively, “MedMar”)

On November 26, 2018, Cresco Labs, LLC acquired MedMar to expand its retail footprint in the Illinois market. MedMar operates two medical cannabis dispensaries in Chicago’s Wrigleyville neighborhood and the northern Illinois city of Rockford.

Cresco Labs, LLC acquired 87.6% and 75.0% of the issued and outstanding units of MedMar Lakeview and MedMar Rockford, respectively, for aggregate consideration of $30,538 thousand, comprised of $7,244 thousand cash, $19,498 thousand equity, and $3,796 thousand contingent consideration. Certain agreements were executed giving the Company de facto control before cash and share consideration was settled. The equity consideration is comprised of 3,020 thousand Cresco F Units convertible to publicly traded shares to be issued to the sellers, valued at the Company’s RTO price of $6.54. The contingent consideration consists of two components. The first provides for a $1,000 thousand cash payment to the sellers of MedMar for each additional dispensary license that MedMar obtains in the 30 months following the acquisition, not to exceed an aggregate $2,000 thousand. The fair value of this component was $1,096 thousand as of the acquisition date; without discounting, the amount is $1,434 thousand. The discount rate used in the valuation was 10.8%. The second component provides for the Company to reimburse the sellers for certain income tax payments. The first component relates to transfer tax, for maximum contingent consideration of $2,000 thousand, which was recorded by the Company in its entirety. The second component relates to certain tax distributions to owners of a maximum of $900 thousand, of which the Company has recorded $700 thousand. This amount has been recorded as contingent consideration of $2,000 thousand and deferred consideration and other payables of $700 thousand. Of the total purchase consideration, $17,143 thousand was allocated to MedMar Lakeview and $13,395 thousand was allocated to MedMar Rockford. Refer to the table above for detailed information about the purchase price allocation.

Although the MedMar cash and share consideration was not yet funded as of the acquisition date or as of December 31, 2018, due to provisions contained in certain agreements related to the acquisition, the Company has the full decision-making power over both MedMar Lakeview and MedMar Rockford. According to IFRS 10.6, an investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The Company has the right to direct all the relevant activities of MedMar Lakeview and MedMar Rockford and is exposed to variable returns through the agreements effecting the acquisition before the funding of the acquisition. Regulatory approval and funding have since occurred.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, MedMar accounted for approximately $119 thousand in contributed net loss. This amount included revenues of approximately $670 thousand.

Non-controlling interest of $5,269 thousand has been recognized at fair value. Fair value was determined based on the NCI’s share of the total enterprise value imputed based on the purchase consideration, minus a 21% discount for non-controlling interest.

Tinad, LLC

Via a purchase agreement signed in April 2018, Cresco Labs, LLC acquired a 35% stake in PDI in September 2018 in exchange for $901 thousand in cash consideration and 114 thousand F Units to expand its retail footprint in the Illinois market. PDI operates a medical cannabis dispensary in the Chicago area suburb of Buffalo Grove, IL. This investment was accounted for using the equity method.

On October 1, 2018, Cresco Labs, LLC acquired an additional 63% investment and controlling interest in PDI via certain agreements giving it de facto control before cash and share consideration was settled. As of October 1, 2018, the investment had a carrying value of $1,001 thousand and a fair value of $3,641 thousand.

Accordingly, a gain of $2,640 thousand was recorded in Other (expense) income, net. The sellers could elect to receive their purchase consideration in either cash or shares as a later date. This share consideration was measured based on 80% of the expected RTO share price. Due to number of shares being variable at the

acquisition date, a derivative liability with a fair value of $6,257 thousand was recorded as the purchase consideration. During the fourth quarter of 2018, the amount of cash and shares for the acquisition of PDI became fixed. The Company issued 258 thousand shares in December 2018. Refer to Note 20 for more information on the fair value measurement. Refer to the table above for detailed information about the purchase price allocation.

Although the PDI cash and share consideration was not yet funded as of the acquisition date and cash consideration was not yet funded as of December 31, 2018, due to provisions contained in certain agreements related to the acquisition, the Company has the full decision-making power over PDI. According to IFRS 10.6, an investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The Company has the right to direct all the relevant activities of PDI and is exposed to variable returns through the agreements effecting the acquisition before the funding of the acquisition. Regulatory approval and funding have since occurred.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments are held at amortized cost (adjusted for impairments or expected credit losses, as applicable) or FVTPL. The carrying values of financial instruments held at amortized cost approximate their fair values as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 due to their nature and relatively short maturity date. Financial assets and liabilities with embedded derivative features are carried at FVTPL.

Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs to fair value measurements. The three levels of hierarchy are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Unless otherwise noted, the Company considers all financial instruments classified as FVTPL to be Level 1 instruments.

There have been no transfers between fair value levels valuing these assets during the year.

Short-Term Loans Receivable with Derivative Features

In conjunction with its agreement to purchase membership interest in Lighthouse equal to a 25% interest in Lighthouse’s subsidiary, Nevada Business Services Group, dated January 26, 2018, the Company entered into an escrow and loan arrangement, with certain embedded derivative. In the first quarter of 2018, the Company paid approximately $5,500 thousand in cash. The Company also transferred 500,000 Class E Units to be issued upon closing, valued at approximately $567 thousand, which are held in escrow until certain contingent events occur and recorded as shares to be issued. Portions of the Company’s escrow payments are drawn as a loan, with a stated interest rate of 6% measured at FVTPL.

On August 12, 2019, the Company settled its outstanding short-term loan receivable with Lighthouse through receipt of Lighthouse membership units approximating 1.2% ownership of the parent company and the issuance of a new secured convertible promissory note that is convertible, at the Company’s discretion, into additional membership units approximating 1% ownership of the parent company. The new loan has a maturity of 18 months and an option for the Company to convert into additional membership units. This new loan had a fair value of $2,758 thousand in August 2019 and was held as a long-term loan receivable measured at FVTPL. The Company recognized an unrealized loss of $522 thousand as of December 31, 2019 due primarily to the change in fair value of the underlying investment. The settlement of the agreement dated January 26, 2018 resulted in cancellation of the 500,000 Cresco Class E Units previously held in escrow. See Note 9 for discussion of the Company’s investment in Lighthouse.

As part of the termination agreement, the Company forgave the outstanding loan and interest receivable balance of $3,037 thousand and recorded an impairment loss in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Expected Credit Loss (ECL)

The Company calculates ECLs for loan receivables and restricted cash by considering cash shortfalls on a discounted basis it would incur in various default scenarios for prescribed future periods and multiplying the shortfalls by the probability of each scenario occurring, which is determined through the exercise of judgement. No events or changes have occurred that would materially affect the expected credit loss over the life of these instruments and no impairment losses were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2019 or 2018.

 

  (b)

Loans Receivable, Long-Term

The Company entered into certain loan arrangements that contained embedded derivatives comprising of a call and put option and a stated interest rate of 5.25%. Settlement of the instruments varies based on contingent events and returns are not fixed. As such, the Company records this loan receivable at FVTPL. Each period, the loan is measured using a probability-weighting analysis of expected outcomes, which utilize Level 3 inputs. The inputs included market rates ranging from 2.7% to 18.3%, a risk-free rate of 1.6% and expected settlement timing of 1.47 to 1.69 years. Changes in Level 3 inputs and assumptions utilized resulted in a fair value gain of $2,037 as of December 31, 2019. At December 31, 2019, of the $15,500 thousand maximum loan commitment, $10,471 thousand had been drawn on these loans.

Pursuant with the acquisition of Valley Ag, the Company issued 2,000 thousand share purchase warrants with a fair value of $5,437 thousand classified as a long-term derivative liability and measured at FVTPL. The Company recorded a mark-to-market loss of $2,127 thousand due to changes in share price, partially offset by a $290 thousand unrealized foreign exchange gain on outstanding warrants for the year ended December 31, 2019.

At both the issuance dates and as of December 31, 2019, the fair value of warrants issued through the September 2019 financing, corresponding overallotment and Valley Ag acquisition were determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model utilizing the following assumptions:

 

     Issuance date   December 31,
2019

Risk-free annual interest rate

   1.73% to 1.77%   1.58%

Expected annual dividend yield

   0%   0%

Expected stock price volatility

   82%   81%

Expected life of warrants

   1.5 years   1.4 years

Forfeiture rate

   0%   0%

Share price on valuation date

   $5.67—$6.32   $6.86

Volatility was estimated by using the average historical volatility of comparable companies from a representative peer group of publicly traded cannabis companies.

 

  Financial

Risk Management

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board mitigates these risks by assessing, monitoring and approving the Company’s risk management processes:

 

  (a)

Credit and Banking Risk

Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The maximum credit exposure at December 31, 2019 and 2018 is the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and loans receivable. The Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to its customers or loan counterparties, based on the continued economic strength of the U.S, strength in the U.S. capital markets, and the low interest rate environment. Although all deposited cash is placed with U.S. financial institutions in good standing with regulatory authorities, changes in U.S. federal banking laws related to the deposit and holding of funds derived from activities related to the cannabis industry have passed the House of Representatives, but has not yet been voted on within the Senate. Given that U.S. federal law provides that the production and possession of cannabis is illegal, there is a strong argument that banks cannot accept for deposit funds from businesses involved with the cannabis industry.

The Company’s aging of accounts receivables as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:

 

($ in thousands)    2019      2018  

0 to 60 days

Total accounts receivable, gross

   $ 16,726      $ 3,678  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

The Company recorded bad debt expense of $251 thousand and $nil for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, to account for expected credit loss and an additional $185 thousand in bad debt expense related to invoice write-offs for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Included in the Accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2019 are amounts receivable from Origin House of $8,004 thousand. The outstanding receivables were subsequently collected in January of 2020.

 

  (b)

Asset Forfeiture Risk

Because the cannabis industry remains illegal under U.S. federal law, any property owned by participants in the cannabis industry which are either used in the course of conducting such business, or are the proceeds of such business, could be subject to seizure by law enforcement and subsequent civil asset forfeiture. Even if the owner of the property were never charged with a crime, the property in question could still be seized and subject to an administrative proceeding by which, with minimal due process, it could be subject to forfeiture.

 

  (c)

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due. In February 2020, the Company entered into a non-brokered credit agreement for a senior secured term loan with an initial principal balance of $100,000 thousand. The Company will continue to raise capital as needed to fund operations and expansion. The maturity analysis for lease obligations is located in Note 8.

In addition to the commitments outlined in Note 11 and Note 14, the Company has the following contractual obligations as of December 31, 2019:

Market Risk

 

  (i)

Currency Risk

The operating results and financial position of the Company are reported in U.S. dollars. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are denominated solely in U.S. dollars. However, from time to time, some of the Company’s financial transactions are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The results of the Company’s operations are subject to currency transaction and translation risks. The Company recorded an immaterial amount of foreign exchange losses related to warrants during the year ended December 31, 2019. See Note 17 for additional detail.

Cresco Labs Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

 

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.

 

  (ii)

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company calculates an incremental borrowing rate to use in the valuation of its financial instruments. The Company does not have material long-term interest-bearing debt on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

  (iii)

Price Risk

Price risk is the risk of variability in fair value due to movements in equity or market prices. The Company is subject to price risk related to derivative liabilities, contingent consideration and liability-classified RSUs that are valued based on the Company’s own stock price. An increase or decrease of stock price by 10% would result in an associated increase or decrease in fair value and Other (expense) income, net of $5,287 thousand.

 

  (iv)

Tax Risk

Tax risk is the risk of changes in the tax environment that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. Currently, state licensed marijuana businesses are assessed a comparatively high effective federal tax rate due to section 280E which bars businesses from deducting all expenses except their cost of sales when calculating federal tax liability. Any increase in tax levies resulting from additional tax measures may have a further adverse effect on the operations of the Company, while any decrease in such tax levies will be beneficial to future operations. See Note 25 for the Company’s disclosure of uncertain tax positions.

 

  (v)

Regulatory Risk

Regulatory risk pertains to the risk that the Company’s business objectives are contingent, in part, upon the compliance of regulatory requirements. Due to the nature of the industry, the company recognizes that regulatory requirements are more stringent and punitive in nature. Any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain regulatory approvals can significantly delay operational and product development and can have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operation, and financial condition.

The Company is cognizant of the advent of regulatory changes occurring in the cannabis industry on the city, state, and national levels. Although regulatory outlook on the cannabis industry has been moving in a positive trend, the Company is aware of the effect of unforeseen regulatory changes can have on the goals and operations of the business as a whole.

 

21.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to ensure that there are adequate capital resources to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and maintain adequate levels of funding to support its ongoing operations and development such that it can continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

The capital structure of the Company consists of items included in shareholders’ equity. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the Company’s underlying assets. The Company plans to use existing funds, as well as funds from the future sale of products to fund operations and expansion activities and may from time to time seek out additional capital from borrowings or the sale of equity instruments. As of December 31, 2019, the Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

 

22.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates in one segment, the production and sale of cannabis. All property and equipment and intangible assets are located in the United States.

All revenues were generated in the United States for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

23.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings (Loss) per Share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net earnings or loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding.

Potentially dilutive shares of 152,079 and 150,711 thousand were not included in the calculation of EPS for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as their impact would have been anti-dilutive due to net losses in these periods.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES AND DEFERRED INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based upon anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying values of assets and liabilities and the respective tax bases. As a result of the Transaction, the Company recognized a net deferred tax liability of $607 thousand with a corresponding decrease to Shareholders’ Equity.

As the Company operates in the legal cannabis industry, the Company is subject to the limits of IRC Section 280E for U.S. federal income tax purposes as well state income tax purposes for Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, Nevada, Arizona, New York, and Massachusetts. Under 280E, the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E. However, the State of California does not conform to IRC Section 280E and, accordingly, the Company deducts all operating expenses on its California Franchise Tax Returns.

The Company intends to be treated as a United States corporation for United States federal income tax purposes under section 7874 of the U.S. Tax Code and is expected to be subject to United States federal income tax on its worldwide income. However, for Canadian tax purposes, the Company is expected, regardless of any application of section 7874 of the U.S. Tax Code, to be treated as a Canadian resident company (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “ITA”) for Canadian income tax purposes. As a result, the Corporation will be subject to taxation both in Canada and the United States.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company has $1,677 thousand of non-capital Canadian losses which expire in 2038- 2039, $12,346 thousand of California net operating losses which expire in 2038-2039, and $922 thousand of U.S. federal net operating losses which have an indefinite carryforward period.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company has $37 thousand of non-capital Canadian losses which expire in 2038, $1,733 thousand of California net operating losses which expire in 2038, $21 thousand of U.S. federal net operating losses which expire in 2037 and $42 thousand of U.S. federal net operating losses which have an indefinite carryforward period.

The Company determined that the tax impact of certain arrangements between its management companies and operating companies are not probable that they would be sustained under IFRIC 23 due to the evolving interpretations of Section 280E. As a result, the Company recorded a reserve for an uncertain tax positions of $7,494 thousand and $2,619 thousand as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Of this amount, $455 thousand relates to penalties and $246 thousand relates to interest as of December 31, 2019, and $275 thousand relates to penalties as of December 31, 2018. All interest and penalties are classified as Accounts payable and other accrued expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The Company early adopted IFRIC 23 as of December 31, 2018.

On January 8, 2020, the Company closed its acquisition of CannaRoyalty Corp. (“Origin House”) in which the Company acquired 100% of all equity interests of Origin House for approximately 72,200 thousand Cresco shares, which includes shares to be issued, that were valued at approximately $430,000 thousand. As of the date of issuance of this report, the Company is still in the process of determining the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities and the calculation of the associated goodwill.

On January 28, 2020, the Company closed a sale-and-leaseback agreement for its Yellow Springs, Ohio property for total proceeds of $12 million.

On February 2, 2020, the Company entered into a non-brokered credit agreement for a senior secured term loan with an initial principal balance of $100,000 thousand and the mutual option to increase the facility to a maximum of $200,000 thousand.

Cresco is primarily engaged in the business of cultivating medical grade cannabis, manufacturing medical grade products derived from cannabis cultivation, and distributing such products to medical or adult-use consumers in legalized cannabis markets. Cresco exists to provide high-quality and consistent cannabis-based products to consumers. Cresco’s business focuses on regulatory compliance while working to develop condition-specific strains of cannabis and non-invasive delivery methods (alternatives to smoke inhalation) to provide controlled-dosage medicinal cannabis relief to qualified patients and consumers in legalized cannabis markets. The Company currently operates three medical cannabis cultivation and manufacturing centers in Illinois, five dispensary locations in Illinois, one medical cannabis cultivation and manufacturing center in Pennsylvania, three dispensary locations in Pennsylvania, two additional dispensary locations under construction in Pennsylvania, one medical cannabis cultivation center and one dispensary location in Ohio, one cultivation center and one processing facility in California, two cultivation centers in Arizona, one manufacturing and dispensary location in Arizona, one processing center in Maryland, one medical cannabis cultivation center license in New York, four dispensary locations in New York and one cultivation center and dispensary in Massachusetts. In Illinois, Cresco’s dispensary applications received the highest, second highest and third highest scores, respectively, of all applications reviewed by the State of Illinois. Subsequently, the Company was the first cultivator to receive approvals to grow adult-use cannabis; all three cultivation facilities were granted approvals in that state. Additionally, the Company’s five dispensary locations were approved for dispensing adult-use cannabis in that state upon legalization, effective January 1, 2020. Secondary sites corresponding to the five current dispensary licenses were also awarded, allowing for up to ten dispensary locations upon zoning approval by local jurisdictions. The zoning for the first such secondary site dispensary located in Chicago’s River North neighborhood was approved by the City of Chicago on March 6, 2020. In Pennsylvania, Cresco was awarded the highest score during the application process and had the second highest overall score, making it one of only five cultivators that was also awarded a dispensary license which allows for up to three dispensaries. The Company was subsequently awarded a second dispensary license allowing an additional three dispensaries for a total of six locations across the state. Cresco is currently located at Suite 110, 400 W. Erie St, Chicago, IL 60654 and employs over 1,400 people while being voted a finalist for “Best Places to Work” by Crain’s Chicago Business in 2019. During 2019, the Company announced a new dispensary brand, Sunnyside*, created to accelerate

industry growth and shift people’s expectations and perceptions around shopping for cannabis from intimidation and doubt to curiosity and acceptance through a new trail and marketing approach. Five Sunnyside* dispensaries opened on January 1, 2020 in the Illinois market. On April 6, 2020, the Company announced the final approval from the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation to open the first adult-use dispensary in downtown Chicago.

Issuing IPO, Reverse Takeover & Corporate Structure

The Company (then Randsburg Gold Corporation) was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia under the Company Act (British Columbia) on July 6, 1990. On December 30, 1997, the Company changed its name from Randsburg Gold Corporation to Randsburg International Gold Corp. (“Randsburg”) and consolidated its common shares on a five (5) old for one (1) new basis. On November 30, 2018, in connection with the Reverse Takeover, the Company (i) consolidated its outstanding Randsburg Common Shares on an 812.63 old for one (1) new basis, and (ii) filed an alteration to its Notice of Articles with the British Columbia Registrar of Companies to change its name from Randsburg to Cresco Labs Inc. and to amend the rights and restrictions of its existing class of common shares, redesignate such class as the class of Subordinate Voting Shares and create the Proportionate Voting Shares and the Super Voting Shares.

The Company’s registered office is located at Suite 2200, 1055 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 2E9. Pursuant to the Reverse Takeover, among the Company (then Randsburg) and Cresco, a series of transactions was completed on November 30, 2018 resulting in a reorganization of Cresco and Randsburg and pursuant to which Randsburg became the indirect parent and sole voting unitholder of Cresco. The series of transactions constituted a Reverse Takeover of Randsburg by Cresco under applicable securities laws.

Cresco was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of Illinois on October 8, 2013 and is governed by the Pre-Combination LLC Agreement. The Pre-Combination LLC Agreement was further amended and restated in connection with the completion of the Reverse Takeover.

Recent Developments

On April 26, 2019, the Company announced that it filed and received a receipt for a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus (the “Shelf Prospectus”) with the securities commissions in each of the provinces of Canada, except Québec. The Shelf Prospectus, when made final, will allow the Company to offer up to C$500,000,000 of subordinate voting shares, debt securities, subscription receipts, warrants, and units, or any combination thereof, from time to time during the 25-month period that the final Shelf Prospectus is effective. The Company filed this Shelf Prospectus in order to maintain financial strength and flexibility going forward; the final version of the Shelf Prospectus was filed and accepted on July 26, 2019. The specific terms of any future offering of securities, including the use of proceeds from any offering, will be established in prospectus supplements to the Shelf Prospectus, which will be filed with the applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities.

On May 28, 2019, the Company announced that shareholders representing 205,172,192 common shares (the “Shareholders”) have entered into voluntary lock-up agreements with the Company (the “Agreements”), representing 97% of the shares subject to an initial lock-up and 80% of total issued subordinate voting shares (on an as-if converted basis). Included among the Shareholders are all of the Company’s founders, its entire executive management team and board of directors, as well as several of the largest outside investors in Cresco. The voluntary lock-up Agreements stipulate that these shareholders will not, subject to limited exception, offer to sell, contract to sell, lend, pledge or otherwise dispose of any Cresco securities, or enter into any transaction to such effect, directly or indirectly, in addition to other restrictions until December 3, 2019, when a portion of the shares will be released followed by the remainder of the shares being released by June 3, 2020.

On September 18, 2019, the Company filed a prospectus supplement (the “Offering”), together with the short form base shelf prospectus described above, which qualified the distribution of 7,350,000 units (the “Offered Units”) of Cresco at a price of C$10.00 per Offered Unit (the “Offering Price”) pursuant to an amended and restated underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) dated as of September 16, 2019 between Cresco and Canaccord Genuity Corp., Beacon Securities Limited, Cormark Securities Inc., Eight Capital and GMP Securities L.P. (collectively, the “Underwriters”). Each Offered Unit was comprised of one subordinate voting share (“SVS”) of Cresco (each, a “Unit Share”) and one-half of one SVS purchase warrant of Cresco (each whole SVS purchase warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant is exercisable into one SVS of Cresco (each, a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of C$12.50 per Warrant Share at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the date that is 36 months following the closing of the Offering. The Offered Units immediately separate into Unit Shares and Warrants upon issuance. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, Cresco agreed to pay to the Underwriter a fee representing 5.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering.

Cresco granted the Underwriter an option to purchase up to an additional 1,102,500 Offered Units (the “Additional Units”) at the Offering Price per Additional Unit on the same terms and conditions as the Offering for a period of 30 days from and including the closing date (September 24, 2019) to cover over allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes. On October 24, 2019, the Company issued an additional 551,250 share purchase warrants (the “Additional Warrants”) at a price of C$2.16 per Additional Warrant for gross proceeds of C$1,190,700, pursuant to the partial exercise of the Underwriter’s over-allotment option.

On December 3, 2019, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement with Canaccord Genuity Corp. pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, sell up to C$55,000 thousand of SVS. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the at-the-market program, if any, principally for general corporate purposes, including funding ongoing discretionary capital programs and potential future acquisitions.

Federal Regulatory Environment

Canadian-Securities Administrators Staff Notice 51-352 (Revised) – Issuers with U.S. Marijuana-Related Activities (“Staff Notice 51-352”) provides specific disclosure expectations for issuers that currently have, or are in the process of developing, cannabis-related activities in the United States as permitted within a particular state’s regulatory framework. All issuers with United States cannabis-related activities are expected to clearly and prominently disclose certain prescribed information in prospectus filings and other required disclosure documents.

 

5


In accordance with Staff Notice 51-352, Cresco will evaluate, monitor and reassess the disclosure contained herein, and any related risks, on an ongoing basis and the same will be supplemented, amended and communicated to investors in public filings, including in the event of government policy changes or the introduction of new or amended guidance, laws or regulations regarding marijuana regulation. As a result of Cresco’s operations, it is subject to Staff Notice 51-352 and accordingly provides the following disclosure.

Cresco currently directly derives a substantial portion of its revenues from the cannabis industry in certain U.S. states, which industry is illegal under U.S. Federal Law. As of December 31, 2019, the Company is directly involved (through licensed subsidiaries) in both the adult-use and medical cannabis industry in the states of Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Arizona, Maryland, California, Massachusetts and New York as permitted within such states under applicable state law which states have regulated such industries.

The cultivation, sale and use of cannabis is illegal under federal law pursuant to the U.S. Controlled Substance Act of 1970 (the “CSA”). Under the CSA, the policies and regulations of the United States Federal Government and its agencies are that cannabis has no medical benefit and a range of activities including cultivation and the personal use of cannabis is prohibited. The Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution establishes that the United States Constitution and federal laws made pursuant to it are paramount and in case of conflict between federal and state law, the federal law shall apply.

On January 4, 2018, former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a memorandum to U.S. district attorneys which rescinded previous guidance from the U.S. Department of Justice specific to cannabis enforcement in the United States, including the Cole Memo (as defined herein). With the Cole Memo rescinded, U.S. federal prosecutors have been given discretion in determining whether to prosecute cannabis-related violations of U.S. federal law. If the Department of Justice policy was to aggressively pursue financiers or equity owners of cannabis-related business, and United States Attorneys followed such Department of Justice policies through pursuing prosecutions, then the Company could face (i) seizure of its cash and other assets used to support or derived from its cannabis subsidiaries, and (ii) the arrest of its employees, directors, officers, managers and investors, who could face charges of ancillary criminal violations of the CSA for aiding and abetting and conspiring to violate the CSA by virtue of providing financial support to state-licensed or permitted cultivators, processors, distributors, and/or retailers of cannabis. Additionally, as has recently been affirmed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, employees, directors, officers, managers and investors of the Company who are not U.S. citizens face the risk of being barred from entry into the United States for life.

Unless and until the United States Congress amends the CSA with respect to medical and/or adult-use cannabis (and as to the timing or scope of any such potential amendments there can be no assurance), there is a significant risk that federal authorities may enforce current U.S. federal law. If the U.S. federal government begins to enforce U.S. federal laws relating to cannabis in states where the sale and use of cannabis is currently legal, or if existing applicable state laws are repealed or curtailed, the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects would be materially adversely affected.

Despite the current state of the federal law and the CSA, the states of California, Nevada, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, Illinois, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Vermont and Alaska, and the District of Columbia, have legalized recreational use of cannabis. Maine and Illinois have not yet begun recreational cannabis commercial operations as of December 31, 2019. In early 2018, Vermont became the first state to legalize recreational cannabis by passage in a state legislature, but does not allow commercial sales of recreational cannabis. Although the District of Columbia voters passed a ballot initiative in November 2014, no commercial recreational operations exist because of a prohibition on using funds for regulation within a federal appropriations amendment to local District spending powers.

In addition, over half of the U.S. states have enacted legislation to legalize and regulate the sale and use of medical cannabis, provided that there are strict limits on the levels of THC. However, there is no guarantee that state laws legalizing and regulating the sale and use of cannabis will not be repealed or overturned, or that local governmental authorities will not limit the applicability of state laws within their respective jurisdictions.

The Company’s objective is to capitalize on the opportunities presented as a result of the changing regulatory environment governing the cannabis industry in the United States. Accordingly, there are a number of significant risks associated with the business of the Company. Unless and until the United States Congress amends the CSA with respect to medical and/or adult-use cannabis (and as to the timing or scope of any such potential amendments there can be no assurance), there is a significant risk that federal authorities may enforce current federal law, and the business of the Company may be deemed to be producing, cultivating, extracting, or dispensing cannabis or aiding or abetting or otherwise engaging in a conspiracy to commit such acts in violation of federal law in the United States.

For these reasons, the Company’s investments in the United States cannabis market may subject the Company to heightened scrutiny by regulators, stock exchanges, clearing agencies and other Canadian authorities. There are a number of risks associated with the business of the Company. See sections entitled “Regulatory Overview” and “Risk Factors” in the Prospectus Supplement dated September 18, 2019, “United States Regulatory Environment” and “Risk Factors” in the Prospectus dated July 26, 2019, and “General Development of the Business”, “Description of the Business” and “Risk Factors” in the Annual Information Form dated April 28, 2020.

On September 25, 2019, the Secure and Fair Enforcement Banking Act of 2019 (“SAFE Banking Act”) was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives in a 321 to 103 vote. The SAFE Banking Act would permanently protect state-chartered banks and credit unions that service state-legal cannabis companies from being penalized by federal regulators. The bill or a version of it is expected to be up for vote in the Republican-controlled Senate in the coming months.

On November 20, 2019, the House Judiciary Committee approved the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act of 2019 (“MORE Act”) in a 24 to 10 vote. The MORE Act would decriminalize and remove Cannabis as a Schedule I substance. The MORE Act now will likely be brought up for a vote in the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives in the coming months.

The States In Which We Operate, Their Legal Framework and How It Affects Our Business

Illinois Operations

The Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act, which allows individuals diagnosed with a debilitating medical condition access to medical marijuana, became effective January 1, 2014. There were over 41 qualifying conditions as part of the initial medical program, including epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, and post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”).

The Opioid Alternative Pilot Program launched on January 31, 2019 and allows patients that receive or are qualified to receive opioid prescriptions access to medical marijuana as an alternative in situations where an opioid could generally be prescribed. Under this new program, patients with doctor approval can receive near-immediate access to cannabis products from an Illinois licensed dispensary. The Opioid Alternative Pilot Program eliminates the previously required fingerprinting and background checks that often delay patients’ access to medical cannabis by up to three months.

In June 2019, the Illinois House of Representatives and Senate passed Senate Bill 2023 which added 11 additional debilitating illnesses such as chronic pain, migraines and irritable bowl syndrome to the list of qualifying medical conditions. This bill was signed into law in August by Governor JB Pritzker.

In January 2019, JB Pritzker was sworn into office as Governor of Illinois. Cresco’s CEO and co-founder, Charles Bachtell, has been appointed to the Cannabis Legalization Subcommittee of the governor’s transition team. Cannabis Legalization is one of four subcommittees under the Governor’s Restorative Justice and Safe Communities Transition Committee. The primary goals of the Cannabis Legalization Subcommittee are to evaluate and develop implementation recommendations for the Governor’s platform on legalizing cannabis. In June 2019, Governor Pritzker signed the Cannabis Regulation and Taxation Act (CRTA) into law, making Illinois the 11th state to legalize recreational marijuana.

Illinois’ retail market for 2019 was over $250 million, representing a 90% + year-over-year increase.

Cresco currently operates three (3) medical/adult-use cannabis cultivation and manufacturing centers in Illinois and owns five (5) medical/adult-use dispensary locations in Illinois. Licenses were awarded based on merit in a highly competitive application process to applicants who demonstrated strong operational expertise and financial backing. To date, Cresco has established a 25% wholesale market share in Illinois.

Cresco is licensed to operate in the state of Illinois as a medical and adult-use cultivator and medical and adult-use product manufacturer. Phoenix, PDI, FloraMedex, MedMar Lakeview, and MedMar Rockford, are licensed to operate retail dispensaries in the state of Illinois. These dispensaries were rebranded as Sunnyside* dispensaries in early 2020. Under applicable laws, the licenses permit Cresco and its subsidiaries to collectively cultivate, manufacture, process, package, sell, and purchase marijuana pursuant to the terms of the licenses, which are issued by the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation under the provisions of the Illinois Revised Statutes 410 ILCS 130. All licenses are, as of the date hereof, active with the State of Illinois. There are two categories of licenses in Illinois: (i) cultivation/processing; and (ii) dispensary. The licenses are independently issued for each approved activity.

All cultivation/processing establishments must register with Illinois Department of Agriculture. All dispensaries must register with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. If applications contain all required information and after vetting by officers, establishments are issued a medical marijuana establishment registration certificate. Registration certificates are valid for a period of one year and are subject to annual renewals after required fees are paid and the business remains in good standing. Renewal requests are typically communicated through email from the Department of Agriculture or Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and include a renewal form.

The retail dispensary licenses held by Phoenix, PDI, FloraMedex, MedMar Lakeview, and MedMar Rockford permit the Company to purchase marijuana and marijuana products from cultivation/processing facilities and allows the sale of marijuana and marijuana products to registered patients and adult-use customers. The five dispensary locations were approved on October 16, 2019 to begin dispensing adult-use cannabis on January 1, 2020 and were also approved to open secondary site adult-use dispensaries by the Illinois Department of Financials and Professional Regulation. Two of the five additional dispensaries will be located within the City of Chicago. The zoning for the first such secondary site dispensary located in Chicago’s River North neighborhood was approved by the City of Chicago on March 6, 2020. On April 6, 2020, the Company announced the final approval from the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation for this secondary site to open and begin adult-use cannabis sales.

The three medical cultivation licenses held by Cresco permit it to acquire, possess, cultivate, manufacture/process into edible medical marijuana products and/or medical marijuana-infused products, deliver, transfer, have tested, transport, supply or sell marijuana and related supplies to medical marijuana dispensaries. In September 2019, the three cultivation facilities were approved for growing adult-use cannabis by the Illinois Department of Agriculture, for a total cultivation capacity of 630 thousand square feet, the maximum allowed by law.

Pennsylvania Operations

The Pennsylvania medical marijuana program was signed into law on April 17, 2016 under Act 16 and provided access to state residents with one of 21 qualifying conditions, including epilepsy, cancer, chronic pain, and PTSD. The state, which consists of over 12 million U.S. citizens and qualifies as the fifth largest population in the U.S., operates as a high-barrier market with very limited market participation. The state originally awarded only 12 licenses to cultivate/process and 27 licenses to operate retail dispensaries (which entitled holders to up to three medical dispensary locations). Out of the hundreds of applicants in each license category, Yeltrah was awarded one (1) medical cannabis cultivation and manufacturing center in Pennsylvania, and three (3) dispensary locations in Pennsylvania. Yeltrah has established an estimated 20%+ market share in Pennsylvania.

Retail sales commenced in February 2018 to a limited number of retail locations across the state. On February 15, 2018, Yeltrah was the first cultivator/processor to release product into the Pennsylvania market (approximately 6 weeks ahead of any other producer), and its dispensary was the first to sell product to patients in the state.

On March 22, 2018, it was announced that the final phase of the Pennsylvania medical marijuana program would initiate its rollout, which will include 13 additional cultivation/processing licenses and 23 additional dispensary licenses. The application period ran from April 2018 through May 17, 2018. Yeltrah submitted additional dispensary applications and in December of 2018 an additional dispensary license was obtained to open three (3) additional dispensary locations, for a total of six (6) in the state of Pennsylvania.

In the introductory months of the program, Pennsylvania’s medical marijuana dispensaries experienced supply shortages and were unable to keep up with statewide demand. It was announced on April 17, 2018 that dry flower would be included in the regulations as an approved product form for sale and consumption (in addition to the already approved forms of concentrates, pills, and tinctures).

Under applicable laws, the licenses permit Yeltrah to cultivate, manufacture, process, package, sell, and purchase medical marijuana pursuant to the terms of the licenses, which are issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Health under the provisions of Medical Marijuana Act (35 P.S. § § 10231.101 — 10231.2110) and Chapters 1141, 1151 and 1161 of the Pennsylvania regulations. All licenses are, as of the date hereof, active with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. There are two categories of licenses in Pennsylvania: (i) cultivation/processing; and (ii) dispensary. The licenses are independently issued for each approved activity for use at Yeltrah facilities in Pennsylvania.

All cultivation/processing establishments must register with the Pennsylvania Department of Health. All dispensaries must register with the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Registration certificates are valid for a period of one year and are subject to annual renewals after required fees are paid and the business remains in good standing. Specifically, for licenses that Yeltrah currently holds have each undergone one or two renewals.

The retail dispensary licenses permit Yeltrah to purchase marijuana and marijuana products from cultivation/processing facilities and allows the sale of marijuana and marijuana products to registered patients.

The medical cultivation licenses permit Yeltrah to acquire, possess, cultivate, manufacture/process into edible medical marijuana products and/or medical marijuana-infused products, deliver, transfer, have tested, transport, supply or sell marijuana and related supplies to medical marijuana dispensaries.

On September 25, 2019, Pennsylvania’s Governor held a press conference to announce a majority of Pennsylvania citizens were in favor of adult-use cannabis. He called on the General Assembly to consider the legalization of adult-use cannabis and provided additional actions to seek a path forward. On October 31, 2019, Senate Bill 350 (“SB 350”) was introduced to legalize cannabis for adult-use. SB 350, in due course, will be assigned to a Senate committee for consideration by the Pennsylvania State Senate.

Ohio Operations

House Bill 523, effective on September 8, 2016, legalized medical marijuana in Ohio. The Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program (“MMCP”) allows people with certain medical conditions, upon the recommendation of an Ohio-licensed physician certified by the State Medical Board, to purchase and use medical marijuana. House Bill 523 required that the framework for the MMCP become effective as of September 2018. This timeframe allowed for a deliberate process to ensure the safety of the public and to promote access to a safe product.

The three following state government agencies are responsible for the operation of MMCP: (1) the Ohio Department of Commerce is responsible for overseeing medical marijuana cultivators, processors and testing laboratories; (2) the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy is responsible for overseeing medical marijuana retail dispensaries, the registration of medical marijuana patients and caregivers, the approval of new forms of medical marijuana and coordinating the Medical Marijuana Advisory Committee; and, (3) the State Medical Board of Ohio is responsible for certifying physicians to recommend medical marijuana and may add to the list of qualifying conditions for which medical marijuana can be recommended. Qualifying medical conditions for medical marijuana include: HIV/AIDS, Lou Gehrig’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, Crohn’s disease, epilepsy or other seizure disorder, fibromyalgia, glaucoma, hepatitis C, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), pain (either chronic, severe, or intractable), Parkinson’s disease, PTSD, sickle cell anemia, spinal cord disease or injury, Tourette’s syndrome, traumatic brain injury, and ulcerative colitis. In order for a patient to be eligible to obtain medical marijuana, a physician must make the diagnosis of one of these conditions.

Several forms of medical marijuana are legal in Ohio, these include: inhalation of marijuana through a vaporizer (not direct smoking), oils, tinctures, plant material, edibles, patches and any other forms approved by the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy.

On June 4, 2018, the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy awarded 56 medical marijuana provisional dispensary licenses. The licenses were awarded after an extensive review of 376 submitted dispensary applications.

Provisional licensees are authorized to begin the process of establishing a dispensary in accordance with the representations in their applications and the rules adopted by the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy. Per state of Ohio regulations, all provisional license holders have a maximum of six months to demonstrate compliance with the dispensary operational requirements to obtain a certificate of operation. Compliance will be determined through an inspection by a Board of Medical Marijuana Compliance Agent. Once a dispensary is awarded a certificate of operation, it can begin selling medical marijuana to Ohio patients and caregivers in accordance with Ohio laws and rules.

By rule, the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy is limited to issuing up to 60 dispensary licenses across the state but will have the authority to increase the number of licenses. To date, no announcement has been made if the number of licenses will be increased. Per the program rules, the Board will consider, on at least a biennial basis, whether enough medical marijuana dispensaries exist, considering the state population, the number of patients seeking to use medical marijuana, and the geographic distribution of dispensary sites.

Cresco Ohio was awarded one provisional dispensary license which is located in Wintersville, Ohio. The dispensary license permits Cresco Ohio to purchase marijuana and marijuana products from cultivation/processing facilities and allows the sale of marijuana and marijuana products to registered patients.

Cresco Ohio applied for and, on November 30, 2017, received one provisional cultivation license. Cresco Ohio’s cultivation facility is a hybrid greenhouse structure located in Yellow Springs, Ohio. The medical cultivation licenses permit will permit Cresco Ohio to acquire, possess, cultivate, manufacture/process into medical marijuana products, deliver, transfer, have tested, transport, supply or sell marijuana and related supplies to medical marijuana dispensaries.

A holder of a provisional cultivation license is prohibited from operating as a licensed cultivator and performing any cultivation or production activities, including the procurement of seeds, seedlings, or other starting plant material until a Certificate of Operation is issued by the Ohio Department of Commerce. This provisional license serves as authorization from the Ohio Department of Commerce for Cresco Ohio to begin the construction or modification of the facility and to secure any other applicable permits needed from local jurisdictions in order to receive a Certificate of Operation. Pursuant to Ohio Administrative Code s. 3796:2-1-06(B), a provisional license holder has nine (9) months to obtain a Certificate of Operation. On September 14, 2018, Cresco Ohio received its Certificate of Operation for cultivation.

On December 12, 2018, Cresco Ohio was granted the first dispensary Certificate of Operation in the state, which was over a month in advance of any other dispensary operator. Retail sales commenced on January 16, 2019 with the first cannabis sale taking place at the Wintersville dispensary. This was the second state medical marijuana program in which the Company was first to market.

California Operations

In 1996, California was the first state to legalize medical marijuana through Proposition 215, the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 (“CUA”). This legalized the use, possession and cultivation of medical marijuana by patients with a physician recommendation for treatment of cancer, anorexia, AIDS, chronic pain, spasticity, glaucoma, arthritis, migraine, or any other illness for which marijuana provides relief.

In 2003, Senate Bill 420 was signed into law establishing an optional identification card system for medical marijuana patients.

In September 2015, the California legislature passed three bills collectively known as the “Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act” (“MCRSA”). The MCRSA established a licensing and regulatory framework for medical marijuana businesses in California. The system created multiple license types for dispensaries, infused products manufacturers, cultivation facilities, testing laboratories, transportation companies, and distributors. Edible infused product manufacturers would require either volatile solvent or non-volatile solvent manufacturing licenses depending on their specific extraction methodology. Multiple agencies would oversee different aspects of the program and businesses would require a state

license and local approval to operate. However, in November 2016, voters in California overwhelmingly passed Proposition 64, the “Adult-Use of Marijuana Act” (“AUMA”) creating an adult-use marijuana program for adults 21 years of age or older. AUMA had some conflicting provisions with MCRSA, so in June 2017, the California State Legislature passed Senate Bill No. 94, known as Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“MAUCRSA”), which amalgamates MCRSA and AUMA to provide a set of regulations to govern medical and adult-use licensing regime for cannabis businesses in the state of California. MAUCRSA went into effect on January 1, 2018. The four agencies that regulate marijuana at the state level are the BCC, the California Department of Food and Agriculture, the California Department of Public Health, and the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration.

In order to legally operate a medical or adult-use cannabis business in California, the operator must have both a local and state license. This requires license holders to operate in cities with marijuana licensing programs. Therefore, cities in California are allowed to determine the number of licenses they will issue to marijuana operators or can choose to outright ban marijuana.

On June 7, 2018, Cresco acquired a 60% ownership interest in SLO, a marijuana cultivation facility in operation in the cities of Carpinteria (Santa Barbara County) and San Luis Obispo (San Luis Obispo County), California. On September 27, 2018, Cresco acquired a further 20% ownership interest to bring the total ownership to 80%. The cultivation facility has a capacity of up to 650,000 square feet of greenhouse production space.

SLO through its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Cal Subsidiaries”), is licensed to operate as a medical and adult-use cultivator and processor under applicable California and local jurisdictional law (the “California License”). The California License permits the Cal Subsidiaries to cultivate and process medical and adult-use cannabis in the state of California pursuant to the terms of the California License issued by the BCC under the provision of the MAUCRSA and California Assembly Bill No. 133. In California, licenses are independently issued for each approved activity for use.

California state and local licenses are renewed annually. Each year, licensees are required to submit a renewal application per guidelines published by BCC. While renewals are annual, there is no ultimate expiry after which no renewals are permitted. Additionally, in respect of the renewal process, provided that the requisite renewal fees are paid, the renewal application is submitted in a timely manner, and there are no material violations noted against the applicable license, SLO would expect to receive the applicable renewed license in the ordinary course of business. While SLO’s compliance controls have been developed to mitigate the risk of any material violations of a license arising, there is no assurance that the licenses will be renewed in the future in a timely manner. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations of the Resulting Issuer and have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

SLO applied for and was granted licenses permitting it to cultivate, manufacture, and distribute retail medical (and in some instances, adult-use) cannabis and cannabis-related products:

Mendota (Fresno County)

 

   

SLO has been issued a provisional license for Type 7 (Manufacturing 2 – Volatile), Adult-Use & Medical (“A&M”).

 

   

SLO has been issued a provisional license for Type 11 (Distribution), A&M.

Carpinteria (SB County)

 

   

SLO has been issued provisional licenses for Cultivation: Small Mixed-Light Tier 1. Additionally, SLO has been issued provisional licenses in:

 

   

Nursery, allowing for the planting and cultivation of medical cannabis from seeds, clones, and immature plants.

 

   

Processor Type, allowing for the harvesting, drying, curing, grading or tanning of cannabis as well as the packaging and labelling of certain non-manufactured cannabis.

 

   

SLO submitted annual applications for the four listed license types to the state regulator awaiting approval of annual applications.

Origin House

On April 1, 2019, Cresco entered into a definitive agreement (“Origin House Agreement”) with CannaRoyalty Corp. d/b/a Origin House, pursuant to which Cresco will acquire all issued and outstanding shares of Origin House. Under the terms of the Origin House Agreement and subsequent amendments, holders of common shares of Origin House will receive 0.7031 subordinate voting shares of Cresco Labs for each Origin House share (the “Transaction”).

The Transaction represents a total consideration of approximately C$560 million on a fully-diluted basis, and as of this date, is among the largest of public company acquisitions in the history of the U.S. cannabis industry. The combined entity will be: one of the largest vertically-integrated multi-state cannabis operators in the United States; a leading North American cannabis company, by footprint; and one of the largest cannabis brand distributors.

Origin House has become a leading distributor and provider of brand support services in California, the world’s largest regulated cannabis market. Origin House’s proven strategy has been to build relationships with established dispensaries, build partnerships with established market-leading brands, develop promising cannabis product companies, and then leverage its full suite of support services to transform those products into strong California consumer brands. Origin House delivers over 50+ cannabis brands to more than 500 dispensaries in California, representing approximately 60% market penetration. Following the closing of this acquisition, Cresco brands is expected to be in over 725 dispensaries and will have access to several additional licenses for cultivation, manufacturing and distribution of cannabis within the state of California.

During September 2019, Cresco Labs and Origin House submitted certifications of substantial compliance with the request for additional information (“Second Request”) from the United States Department of Justice Antitrust Division (“DOJ”) in connection with Origin House’s and Cresco Labs’ notification to U.S. antitrust authorities pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (“HSR Act”), as amended, in respect of Cresco Labs’ pending acquisition of Origin House.

On October 22, 2019, the Company announced the waiting period under the HSR Act for the pending acquisition of Origin House expired, satisfying one of the remaining conditions to completing the Transaction.

On January 8, 2020, the Company announced it had closed on its acquisition of Origin House in which the Company acquired 100% of all equity interests of Origin House for approximately 72,200 thousand Cresco shares that were valued at approximately $430,000 thousand.

Arizona Operations

In 2010, Arizona passed Ballot Proposition 203, which amended Title 36 to the Arizona Revised Statutes. This amendment added Chapter 28.1, titled the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act. (the “AMMA”). The AMMA is codified in Arizona Revised Statutes (“ARS”) § 36-2801 et. seq. The AMMA also appointed the Arizona Department of Health Services (the “ADHS”) as the regulator for the program and authorized ADHS to promulgate, adopt and enforce regulations for the AMMA. These ADHS Regulations are embodied in the Arizona Administrative Code (“AAC”) Title 9 Chapter 17 (the “Rules”).

The ADHS has established the Arizona Department of Health Services Medical Marijuana Program (“MMJ Program”), which includes a vertically integrated license, meaning if allocated a Medical Marijuana Dispensary Registration Certificate (“Dispensary License”), entities are authorized to dispense and cultivate medical cannabis. Each Dispensary License allows the holding entity to operate one on-site cultivation facility, and one off-site cultivation facility which can be located anywhere within the state of Arizona. An entity holding a Dispensary License is required to file an application to renew with the ADHS on an annual basis, which must also include audited annual financial statements. While a Dispensary License may not be sold, transferred or otherwise conveyed, Dispensary License holders typically contract with third parties to provide various services related to the ongoing operation, maintenance and governance of its dispensary and/or cultivation facility so long as such contracts do not violate the requirements of the AMMA or the MMJ Program.

On December 6, 2012, Arizona’s first licensed medical marijuana dispensary opened in Glendale. In November 2020, the state of Arizona will include a ballot measure to be voted on for the legalization of adult-use cannabis.

In order to qualify to use medical marijuana under the AMMA, a patient is required to have a “debilitating medical condition.” Valid medical conditions include: HIV, cancer, glaucoma, immune deficiency syndrome, hepatitis C, Chron’s disease, agitation of Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, cachexia/wasting syndrome, muscle spasms, nausea, seizures, severe and chronic pain or another chronic or debilitating condition.

In order for an applicant to receive a Dispensary Registration Certificate (a ‘‘Certificate’’) they must: (i) fill out an application on the form proscribed by ADHS, (ii) submit the applying entity’s articles of incorporation and by-laws, (iii) submit fingerprints for each principal officer or board member of the applicant for a background check to exclude felonies, (iv) submit a business plan and policies and procedures for inventory control, security, patient education, and patient recordkeeping that are consistent with the AMMA and the Rules to ensure that the dispensary will operate in compliance and (v) designate an Arizona licensed physician as the Medical Director for the dispensary. Certificates are renewed annually so long as the dispensary is in good standing with ADHS and pays the renewal fee and submits an independent third-party financial audit.

Once an applicant has been issued a Certificate, they are allowed to establish one physical retail dispensary location, one cultivation location which is co-located at the dispensary’s retail site (if allowed by local zoning) and one additional off-site cultivation location. None of these sites can be operational, however, until the dispensary receives an approval to operate from ADHS for the applicable site. This approval to operate requires: (i) an application on the ADHS form, (ii) demonstration of compliance with local zoning regulations, (iii) a site plan and floor plan for the applicable property, and (iv) an in-person inspection by ADHS of the applicable location to ensure compliance with the Rules and consistency with the dispensary’s applicable policies and procedures.

On October 24, 2018, Cresco obtained a 100% ownership interest in Arizona Facilities Supply, LLC which includes a vertically integrated cultivation, processing, and dispensary operation in Arizona.

The licenses in Arizona are renewed annually. Before expiry, licensees are required to submit a renewal application. While renewals are granted annually, there is no ultimate expiry after which no renewals are permitted. Additionally, in respect of the renewal process, provided that the requisite renewal fees are paid, the renewal application is submitted in a timely manner, and there are no material violations noted against the applicable license, Cresco would expect to receive the applicable renewed license in the ordinary course of business. While Cresco’s compliance controls have been developed to mitigate the risk of any material violations of a license arising, there is no assurance that Arizona Cannabis licenses will be renewed in the future in a timely manner. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations of Arizona Cannabis and would have a material adverse effect on the Resulting Issuer’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Nevada Operations

Medical marijuana use was legalized in Nevada by a ballot initiative in 2000. In November 2016, voters in Nevada passed an adult-use marijuana measure to allow for the sale of recreational marijuana in the state. The first dispensaries to sell adult-use marijuana began sales in July 2017. The Nevada Department of Taxation (“DOT”) is the regulatory agency overseeing the medical and adult-use cannabis programs. Similar to California, cities and counties in Nevada are allowed to determine the number of local marijuana licenses they will issue.

On August 12, 2019, the Company settled its outstanding loan receivable with Lighthouse through receipt of Lighthouse membership units approximating 1.2% ownership of the parent company. The remaining escrow balance was issued as a new secured convertible promissory note convertible, at the Company’s discretion, into additional membership units approximating 1% ownership of the parent company.

All marijuana establishments must register with DOT. If applications contain all required information and after vetting by officers, establishments are issued a medical marijuana establishment registration certificate. In a local governmental jurisdiction that issues business licenses, the issuance by DOT of a medical marijuana establishment registration certificate is considered provisional until the local government has issued a business license for operation and the establishment is in compliance with all applicable local governmental ordinances. Final registration certificates are valid for a period of one year and are subject to annual renewals after required fees are paid and the business remains in good standing. The renewal periods serve as an update for DOT on the licensee’s status toward active licensure. It is important to note provisional licenses do not permit the operation of any commercial or medical cannabis activity. Only after a provisional licensee has gone through necessary state and local inspections, if applicable, and has received a final registration certificate from DOT may an entity engage in cannabis business operation.

New York Operations

The state of New York’s medical cannabis program was introduced in July 2014 when Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the Compassionate Care Act, which legalized medical cannabis oils for patients with certain qualifying conditions. Under this program, five registered organizations (“ROs”) were licensed to dispense cannabis oil to patients, with the first sale to a patient completed in January 2016. In December 2016, the New York State Department of Health (“NYSDOH”) added chronic pain as a qualifying condition and in the month-and-a-half following the addition of chronic pain, the number of registered patients increased by 18%. In August 2017, the NYSDOH granted licenses to five additional registered organizations.

In November 2017, Governor Cuomo signed a bill to add PTSD as a qualifying condition, and, in July 2018, the NYSDOH added opioid replacement as a qualifying condition, meaning any condition for which an opioid could be prescribed is now a qualifying condition for medical cannabis. In August 2018, Governor Cuomo, prompted by a NYSDOH study which concluded the “positive effects” of cannabis legalization “outweigh the potential negative impacts”, appointed a group to draft a bill for regulating legal adult-use cannabis sales in New York. During Governor Cuomo’s January 2019 State of the State Address, he announced the proposal of the governmental agency, The Office of Cannabis Management. This agency would regulate and oversee the state’s medical marijuana program, adult-use program, and hemp program. The executive director of this agency would have the authority to grant ROs currently registered and in good standing with the NYSDOH, the ability to be licensed to cultivate, process, or sell adult-use cannabis and cannabis products.

Each RO license allows for the cultivation, processing, and dispensing of medical cannabis products. Each RO is permitted to open four dispensaries in NYSDOH-designated regions throughout the state, and one cultivation/processing facility. Permitted products include oil-based formulations (i.e., vaporizer cartridges, tinctures, and capsules), and ground-flower sold in tamper-proof vessels. Each RO is required to cultivate and process all medical cannabis products they dispense; however, wholesale transactions are permitted with approval from the state and home delivery is now permitted.

All cultivation/processing and dispensing establishments must register with the NYSDOH pursuant to Public Health Law § 3365(9). Registrations issued by NYSDOH are valid for a two-year period. As embodied in New York Codes, Rules and Regulations § 1004.7, an application to renew such registrations must be filed with the NYSDOH between six and four months prior to the expiration date, must include information prepared in the manner and detail as the commissioner may require, and should be accompanied by application fees and registration fees. Applications completed in accordance with § 1004.7 would be expected to receive the applicable renewed license in a timely manner.

On October 8, 2019, the Company closed the acquisition of GSC, the parent entity of Valley Ag, for consideration consistent of cash, deferred consideration, equity, and contingent consideration based upon the achievement or occurrence of certain milestones or events, all totaling $129,574 thousand. Valley Ag is one of the ten holders of a vertically integrated license from NYSDOH allowing for the cultivation and processing of medical cannabis as well as the establishment of four medical cannabis dispensaries in the state of New York. To date, Valley Ag has four (4) dispensaries and a processing facility open and operational. Valley Ag has successfully renewed their initial licenses and all licenses are, as of the date hereof, active with the State of New York.

Through the aforementioned agreements and regulatory approval, Cresco now has a cultivation and manufacturing facility within the state of New York, as well as four (4) dispensary locations strategically located across the state.

Massachusetts Operations

The Massachusetts medical cannabis market was established through “An Act for the Humanitarian Medical Use of Marijuana” in November 2012 when voters passed Ballot Question 3 “Massachusetts Medical Marijuana Initiative” with 63% of the vote. The first Massachusetts dispensary opened in June 2015 and by November 2016, Massachusetts voters legalized adult-use cannabis by passing ballot Question 4 – Legalize Marijuana with 54% of the vote. In July 2017, Governor Baker signed legislation that would lay the groundwork for the state’s adult-use market. The Cannabis Control Commission (the state’s regulatory body which creates regulations for the adult-use market) aimed to officially launch adult-use sales on July 1, 2018, but stumbling blocks such as a lack of licensed testing labs and disagreements between officials and businesses had slowed the rollout, as sales for adult-use cannabis officially began in November 2018.

The Massachusetts Department of Health oversees the medical cannabis program. Each medical licensee must be vertically integrated and may have up to two locations. Licensed medical dispensaries are given priority in adult-use licensing and the Cannabis Control Commission oversees the adult-use cannabis program. Adult-use cultivators will be grouped into 11 tiers of production (ranging from up to 5,000 square feet to no larger than 100,000 square feet) and regulators will move a licensee down to a lower tier if that licensee has not shown an ability to sell at least 70 percent of what it produced. Medical dispensaries that wish to add the ability to sell cannabis products to nonpatients will be required to reserve 35 percent of their inventory or the six-month average of their medical cannabis sales for medical cannabis patients. In order to achieve an adult-use license, a prospective licensee must first sign a “Host Community Agreement” with the town in which it wishes to locate. Roughly two-thirds of municipalities in the state have a ban or moratorium in place that prohibits cannabis businesses from operating within their jurisdiction. In both the medical and adult-use markets, extracted oils, edibles, and flower products are permitted, as well as wholesaling.

On or about November 19, 2018, Cresco entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the shares and membership interests, as applicable, of HHH and an affiliated real estate entity for consideration consisting of cash and the assumption of certain indebtedness. HHH holds a final certificate of registration from the State of Massachusetts Department of Health that allows for cultivation, manufacturing and processing, and the establishment and operation of a medical cannabis dispensary in Fall River, Massachusetts. The final certificate of registration allows HHH the ability to apply for up to two additional such licenses. HHH holds a final license from the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission that allows for cultivation, manufacturing and processing, and the establishment and operation of an adult-use cannabis dispensary in Fall River, Massachusetts. On October 1, 2019, Cresco Labs, LLC acquired HHH via certain agreements giving it operational control before cash consideration was settled. In January 2020, HHH entered into a host community agreement with the municipality of Fall River to allow for a siting of a medical/adult-use cannabis dispensary. On February 7, 2020, the Company announced the legal close of the acquisition and cash funding of $27,500 thousand. The closing coincided with state approval allowing recreational cannabis sales at the Company’s Fall River dispensary.

Michigan Operations

In November 2008, Michigan residents approved the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act (the “MMMA”) to provide a legal framework for a safe and effective medical marijuana program. In September 2016, the Michigan Senate passed the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act (the “MMFLA”) and the Marihuana Tracking Act (the “MTA” and together with the MMMA and the MMFLA, the “Michigan Cannabis Regulations”) to provide a comprehensive licensing and tracking scheme, respectively, for the medical marijuana program. Additionally, the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs and its licensing board (“LARA”) has supplemented the Michigan Cannabis Regulations with “Emergency Rules” to further clarify the regulatory landscape surrounding the medical marijuana program. LARA is the main regulatory authority for the licensing of marijuana businesses.

Under the MMFLA, LARA administrates five types of “state operating licenses” for medical marijuana businesses: (a) a “grower” license, (b) a “processor” license, (c) a “secure transporter” license, (d) a “provisioning center” license and (e) a “safety compliance facility” license. There are no stated limits on the number of licenses that can be made available on a state level; however, LARA has discretion over the approval of applications and municipalities can pass additional restrictions.

 

15


On November 6, 2018, Michigan voters approved Proposal 1, to make marijuana legal under state and local law for adults 21 years of age or older and to control the commercial production and distribution of marijuana under a system that licenses, regulates, and taxes the businesses involved. The act will be known as the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act. According to Proposal 1, LARA is required to start accepting applications for retail (recreational) dispensaries within 12 months of the measure’s effective date.

On March 25, 2019, the Company announced that its affiliate had completed the most comprehensive portion of Michigan’s application process, being pre-qualified for a cultivation and processing license by the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Medical Marihuana Licensing Board. The pre-qualification represents the authorization of the entity to move forward with the licensing process for its intended facilities.

On November 13, 2019, the state’s Marijuana Regulatory Agency announced any existing medically licensed businesses would be allowed to sell recreational-use cannabis beginning December 1, 2019.

Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenue

We derive the majority of our revenue from wholesale of cannabis products to dispensary locations which, for the year ended December 31, 2019, represents approximately 62.2% of our revenue. Revenue from company-owned retail dispensary locations, for the year ended December 31, 2019 represents the remaining 37.8%.

Gross Profit

Gross profit is calculated as revenue less cost of sales – production costs, which includes cultivation costs of biological assets, realized changes in fair value of inventory sold, and unrealized gain (loss) on changes in fair value of biological assets. Cost of sales – production costs includes the direct costs attributable to the production of the products sold and is comprised of the following:

 

   

Direct labor costs: These expenses include all salaries, benefits, and taxes for all employees at the facility.

 

   

Direct supplies: The total direct material cost for maintenance of the plants, the supplies and nutrients, and the production expenses and equipment used to process medical marijuana.

 

   

Facility expenses: The facility expense for the cultivation operations is the cost for the facility, utilities, property taxes, maintenance, and costs associated with monitoring the security systems.

 

   

Other operating expenses: These expenses include all costs associated with the facility itself including: insurance, community outreach programs, professional services, uniforms, employee training programs, tracking and inventory management systems, product testing, distribution, business development, back office expenses related to accounting, finance, human resources, and information technology and license renewal fees.

Cultivation costs of biological assets are comprised of cannabis plant costs and are immediately expensed in cost of sales – production costs in the period in which they are incurred.

In addition to market fluctuations, cannabis costs are affected by various state regulations that limit the sourcing and procurement of cannabis products. The changes in regulatory environments may create fluctuations in gross profit over comparative periods.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)

SG&A expenses consist mainly of salary and benefits costs of executive and back office staff, consulting and professional fees such as legal and accounting, share based compensation, advertising and marketing, office, travel and entertainment, and excise taxes.

Selling costs generally correlate to revenue. As a percentage of sales, we expect SG&A costs to decrease as our business continues to grow. The decrease is expected to be driven primarily by efficiencies associated with scaling the business.

Income Taxes

The Company, which is and will continue to be a Canadian corporation, is also expected to be classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a United States corporation under Section 7874 of the Code. The Company is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates and, consequently, income tax expense is a function of the allocation of taxable income by jurisdiction and the various activities that impact the timing of taxable events. As the Company operates in the legal cannabis industry, the Company is subject to the limits of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 280E under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E and a higher effective tax rate than most industries.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

Operational gross profit, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-IFRS measures and do not have standardized definitions under IFRS. The following information provides reconciliations of the supplemental non-IFRS financial measures, presented herein to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS. The Company has provided the non-IFRS financial measures, which are not calculated or presented in accordance with IFRS, as supplemental information and in addition to the financial measures that are calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These supplemental non-IFRS financial measures are presented because management has evaluated the financial results both including and excluding the adjusted items and believe that the supplemental non-IFRS financial measures presented provide additional perspective and insights when analyzing the core operating performance of the business. These supplemental non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should only be considered in conjunction with, the IFRS financial measures presented herein.

SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Three Months Ended December 31, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2018

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was $41,382 thousand, an increase of $24,425 thousand, or 144%, compared to revenue of $16,957 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The increase in revenue was driven by expansion into new markets and continued growth in the states where the Company operates.

Cost of sales – production costs, Gross profit, and Operational gross profit (non-IFRS)

Cost of sales – production costs for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was $27,676 thousand, an increase of $16,928 thousand compared to Cost of sales – production costs of $10,748 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to increased cultivation capacity in the Illinois and Pennsylvania markets and the full period impact in the Ohio, Maryland and Arizona markets during 2019. This also included net cultivation costs which were immediately expensed under the Company’s accounting policy for biological assets of $2,807 thousand and $1,465 in the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Gross profit decreased primarily due to the adjustments to inventory value within biological asset accounting partially offset by the increase in revenue from the prior-year quarter.

Operational gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2019, a non-IFRS measure which excludes the impact of biological assets accounting and cultivation costs immediately expensed, as discussed above, was $21,166 thousand, compared to an operational gross profit of $7,674 thousand for the prior year. Operational gross profit reflects revenue less costs related to products sold in the period. The increase of $13,492 thousand from the prior year was primarily driven by the Company’s organic growth, greater scale and improved operational efficiencies in its established Illinois and Pennsylvania markets as

 

19


well as the Valley Ag and HHH acquisitions during 2019. Operational gross profit percentage of approximately 51.1% was higher when compared with the prior year, as the benefit of operational efficiencies in the Company’s more established markets outweighed the impact of emerging and recently acquired businesses where the Company is focused on footprint expansion and relaunching Cresco-branded products. The Company expects margin expansion as these operations scale.

Total expenses

Total expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2019 were $33,527 thousand, an increase of $14,913 thousand compared to total expenses of $18,614 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The increase in total expenses was attributable to acquisition and other non-core costs, share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, as well as significant investments in our team and operational infrastructure to drive strategic initiatives that better position the Company for future growth.

Total other (expense) income

Total other (expense) income for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was an expense of $15,051 thousand, a change of $17,404 thousand compared to other income of $2,353 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The change in total other (expense) income was primarily due to increased interest expense as a result of IFRS 16 Leases adoption, losses on the change in fair value of contingent consideration and impairment of the VidaCann loan receivable. See Notes 17 and 20 in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 for more information.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was $4,288 thousand, a decrease of $86 thousand compared to income tax expense of $4,374 for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in the Income tax expense was driven by a higher net loss before income taxes partially offset by increased amounts of permanently non-deductible expenses under Section 280E.

Net (loss) income and Adjusted EBITDA (non-IFRS)

Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was $45,216 thousand, compared to net loss of $4,413 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2018. Lower gross profit in the current period was paired with higher operating and other expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS measure which excludes non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, net interest expense, income taxes, other income and expense, as well as share-based compensation and acquisition and other non-core costs, was $(3,191) thousand and $9,737 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Excluding the impact of biological assets, adjusted EBITDA was $2,865 thousand and $(276) thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Year Ended December 31, 2019 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2018

Revenue

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $128,534 thousand, an increase of $85,282 thousand, or 197%, compared to revenue of $43,252 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in revenue was driven by expansion into new markets and continued growth in the states where the Company operates.

Cost of sales – production costs, Gross profit, and Operational gross profit (non-IFRS)

Cost of sales – production costs for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $82,904 thousand, an increase of $54,686 thousand compared to Cost of sales – production costs of $28,218 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to increased cultivation capacity in the Illinois and Pennsylvania markets and full period impact in the California, Ohio, Maryland and Arizona markets during 2019. Cost of sales – production costs also includes net cultivation costs which were immediately expensed under the Company’s accounting policy for biological assets of $8,837 thousand and $3,858 thousand in the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Gross profit increased primarily due to an increase in revenue exceeding the increase in Cost of sales – production costs, partially offset by a less favorable impact of biological asset accounting.

Operational gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2019, a non-IFRS measure which excludes the impact of biological assets accounting and cultivation costs immediately expensed, as discussed above, was $61,999 thousand, compared to an operational gross profit of $18,892 thousand for the prior year. Operational gross profit reflects revenue less costs related to products sold in the period. The increase of $43,107 thousand from the prior year was primarily driven by the Company’s organic growth in existing markets, the full year impact of all prior year acquisitions and the addition of the Valley Ag and HHH acquisitions during 2019. Operational gross profit percentage of approximately 48.2% was higher when compared with the prior year due to greater scale and operational efficiencies in the Company’s established markets, partially offset by the impact of emerging and recently acquired businesses where the Company expects margin expansion as these operations scale.

Total expenses

Total expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $98,337 thousand, an increase of $62,865 thousand compared to total expenses of $35,472 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in total expenses was attributable to increases in depreciation and amortization, acquisition and other non-core costs, share-based incentive compensation, the full year impact of prior year acquisitions, as well as significant investments in the Company’s team and operational infrastructure to drive strategic initiatives that better position the Company for future growth.

Total other (expense) income

Total other expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $16,585 thousand, a change of $19,107 thousand compared to other income of $2,522 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2018. The change in total other (expense) income was primarily due to higher interest expense as a result of IFRS 16 adoption, losses on the change in fair value of contingent consideration and impairment of the VidaCann loan receivable. See Notes 17 and 20 in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 for more information.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $14,461 thousand, an increase of $10,087 thousand compared to income tax expense of $4,374 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in Income tax expense was due to an increase in operational activity and additional permanently non-deductible expenses under Section 280E.

Net (loss) income and Adjusted EBITDA (non-IFRS)

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $65,302 thousand, compared to net income of $3,093 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2018. For the year ended December 31, 2019, higher gross profit was more than offset by higher operating expenses. The increase in operating expenses was driven by expansion into new markets and investments in the Company’s team and operational infrastructure to drive strategic initiatives that better position the Company for future growth.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS measure which excludes non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, net interest expense, income taxes, other income and expense, as well as share-based compensation and acquisition and other non-core costs, was $26,440 thousand and $28,344 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Excluding the impact of biological assets, adjusted EBITDA was $7,989 and $2,961 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company held $49,102 thousand in cash and cash equivalents, $5,050 thousand in restricted cash, and $9,169 thousand of working capital compared to December 31, 2018, where we held $131,302 thousand in cash and cash equivalents, $6,726 thousand in restricted cash, and $167,474 thousand of working capital. The decrease of $158,305 thousand in working capital was primarily due to an increase in accounts payable and deferred consideration, contingent consideration and other payables and income tax payable between periods, as well as lease liabilities established after the adoption of IFRS 16 Leases.

We expect that our cash on hand and cash flows from operations, along with private and/or public financing, will be adequate to meet our capital requirements and operational needs for the next 12 months.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $25,189 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase in cash used of $15,273 thousand compared to net cash used in operating activities of $9,916 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to the $65,302 net loss in 2019 driven by increased costs associated with our expansion in new and existing markets, partially offset by the timing of working capital requirements in the current period.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $107,596 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase in cash used of $25,814 thousand compared to $81,782 thousand used in investing for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to increases in purchases of property and equipment as the Company continues to expand its cultivation facilities and operations, partially offset by proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $48,909 thousand for year ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of $153,774 thousand compared to $202,683 thousand of cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to $205,646 thousand provided in total by the 2018 private placements compared with $52,280 thousand provided by the September 2019 equity raise.

CHANGES IN OR ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In January 2016, the IASB published IFRS 16 Leases, replacing IAS 17 Leases and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) 4 Determining whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease. IFRS 16 introduced a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize assets for the right to use as well as lease liabilities for the outstanding lease payments. The Company adopted IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application, without restating prior periods.

IFRS 16 permits entities to elect a number of practical expedients to simplify the adoption of IFRS 16 as well as the ongoing application of IFRS 16.

Upon adoption of IFRS 16, the Company elected to adopt the following practical expedients upon adoption of IFRS 16:

 

   

The existing leases were not reassessed at the initial application date to determine whether or not they are leases under the criteria of IFRS 16. Instead, contracts classified as leases under IAS 17 or IFRIC 4 will continue to be accounted for as leases;

 

   

Leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application of the standard were treated as short-term leases and recognized as rent expense within selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term;

 

   

A single discount rate was applied to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.

On an ongoing basis, the Company elected to adopt the following practical expedient on an ongoing basis:

 

   

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities where the total lease term is less than or equal to 12 months. The payments for such leases are recognized as rent expense within SG&A in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has real estate leases for retail stores, cultivation facilities, corporate offices, and equipment leases. At inception of a contract, the Company estimates whether the contract includes a lease. A contract contains a lease if it includes enforceable rights and obligations under which the right to control the use of an identified asset is conveyed for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company recognized a ROU asset and a lease liability at the commencement date – the date when the asset is available for use by the lessee.

The Company assesses at lease commencement whether it is reasonably certain to exercise extension or termination options. The Company reassesses its lease portfolio to determine whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the options if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances within its control. The extension options which are considered reasonably certain to be exercised are mainly those for which operational decisions have been made which make the leased assets vital to the continued relevant business activities.

On initial application, the Company elected to measure the ROU assets on a lease-by-lease basis at either 1) an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments or 2) at its carrying amount as if IFRS 16 had been applied since the commencement date but discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019.

On initial application, the lease payments were discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate was 13%.

The Company recognized a ROU asset of $32,519 thousand, lease liability of $37,707 thousand, accumulated deficit of $1,466 thousand, and a reduction of non-controlling interest of $1,526 thousand at January 1, 2019. The cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit was a result of measuring the ROU asset for certain leases as if IFRS 16 had been applied since their respective commencement dates.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s financial instruments are held at amortized cost (adjusted for impairments or expected credit losses, as applicable) or fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). The carrying values of financial instruments held at amortized cost approximate their fair values as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 due to their nature and relatively short maturity date. Financial assets and liabilities with embedded derivative features are carried at FVTPL.

Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs to fair value measurements. The three levels of hierarchy are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

There have been no transfers between fair value levels valuing these assets during the year.

Unless otherwise noted, the Company considers all financial instruments measured at FVTPL to be Level 1 instruments.

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Financial Risk Management

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board mitigates these risks by assessing, monitoring and approving the Company’s risk management processes:

 

  i.

Credit and Banking Risk

Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The maximum credit exposure at December 31, 2019 and 2018 is the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and loans receivable. The Company does

 

27


not have significant credit risk with respect to its customers or loan counterparties, based on the continued economic strength of the U.S., including strength in the U.S. capital markets, and the low interest rate environment. Although all deposited cash is placed with U.S. financial institutions in good standing with regulatory authorities, changes in in the U.S. federal banking laws related to the deposit and holding of funds derived from activities related to the cannabis industry have passed the House of Representatives, but has not yet been voted on in the Senate. Given that U.S. federal law provides that the production and possession of cannabis is illegal, there is a strong argument that banks cannot accept and deposit funds from businesses involved with the cannabis industry.

 

  ii.

Asset Forfeiture Risk

Because the cannabis industry remains illegal under U.S. federal law, any property owned by participants in the cannabis industry which are either used in the course of conducting such business, or are the proceeds of such business, could be subject to seizure by law enforcement and subsequent civil asset forfeiture. Even if the owner of the property were never charged with a crime, the property in question could still be seized and subject to an administrative proceeding by which, with minimal due process, it could be subject to forfeiture.

 

  iii.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due. In February 2020, the Company entered into a non-brokered credit agreement for a senior secured term loan with an initial principal balance of $100,000 thousand. The Company will continue to raise capital as needed to fund operations and expansion. The maturity analysis for lease obligations is located in Note 8 of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

 

  iv.

Market Risk

 

  a.

Currency Risk

The operating results and financial position of the Company are reported in U.S. dollars. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are denominated solely in U.S. dollars. However, from time to time some of the Company’s financial transactions are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The results of the Company’s operations are subject to currency transaction and translation risks. The Company recorded an immaterial amount of foreign exchange losses related to warrants during the year ended December 31, 2019. See Note 20 of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.

 

  b.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company calculates an incremental borrowing rate to be used in the valuation of its financial instruments. The Company does not have material long-term interest-bearing debt on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

28


  c.

Price Risk

Price risk is the risk of variability in fair value due to movements in equity or market prices. The Company is subject to price risk related to derivative liabilities, contingent consideration and liability classified restricted stock units valued based on the Company’s own stock. An increase or decrease of stock price by 10% would result in an associated increase or decrease in fair value and Other (expense) income, net of $5,287 thousand.

 

  d.

Tax Risk

Tax risk is the risk of changes in the tax environment that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. Currently, state licensed marijuana businesses are assessed a comparatively high effective federal tax rate due to section 280E, which bars businesses from deducting all expenses except their cost of sales when calculating federal tax liability. Any increase in tax levies resulting from additional tax measures may have a further adverse effect on the operations of the Company, while any decrease in such tax levies will be beneficial to future operations. See Note 25 of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the Company’s disclosure of uncertain tax positions.

 

  e.

Regulatory Risk

Regulatory risk pertains to the risk that the Company’s business objectives are contingent, in part, upon the compliance of regulatory requirements. Due to the nature of the industry, the company recognizes that regulatory requirements are more stringent and punitive in nature. Any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain regulatory approvals can significantly delay operational and product development and can have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operation, and financial condition.

The Company is cognizant of the advent of regulatory changes occurring in the cannabis industry on the city, state and national levels. Although regulatory outlook on the cannabis industry has been moving in a positive trend, the Company is aware of the effect of unforeseen regulatory changes can have on the goals and operations of the business as a whole.

Non-IFRS Financial Information

In certain of its financial disclosures such as earnings releases and MD&A, the Company uses pro forma financial information as well as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Operational Gross Profit as measures of profitability, which are non-IFRS measures and do not have standardized definitions under IFRS. The Company provides the non-IFRS financial measures, which are not calculated or presented in accordance with IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers, as supplemental information and in addition to the financial measures that are calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS. These supplemental non-IFRS financial measures are presented because management has evaluated the financial results both including and excluding the adjusted items and believe that the supplemental non-IFRS financial measures presented provide additional perspective and insights when analyzing the core operating performance of the business. However, such measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should only be considered in conjunction with, the most comparable IFRS financial measures. As such, these supplemental non-IFRS financial measures shall always include reconciliations to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS.

Foreign Currency Information

The Company’s expenses are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars and its operations are in the U.S. The Company’s current exposure to exchange rate fluctuations relate primarily to it the Canadian activities of its subsidiary Origin House. The Company acquired Origin House on January 8, 2020.

CORPORATE STRUCTURE

The Company was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia under the Company Act (British Columbia) on July 6, 1990. On December 30, 1997, the Company changed its name from Randsburg Gold Corporation to Randsburg International Gold Corp. (“Randsburg”), and consolidated its common shares on a five old for one new basis. On November 30, 2018, in connection with the Business Combination, the Company (i) consolidated its outstanding Randsburg common shares on an 812.63 old for one (1) new basis, and (ii) filed an alteration to its Notice of Articles with the British Columbia Registrar of Companies to change its name from Randsburg to Cresco Labs Inc. and to amend the rights and restrictions of its existing class of common shares, redesignate such class as the class of Subordinate Voting Shares and create the Proportionate Voting Shares and the Super Voting Shares.

The Company’s head office is located at 400 W. Erie Street, #110, Chicago, IL 60654 and the registered office is located at Suite 2200, 1055 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 2E9.

Pursuant to the Business Combination, among the Company (then Randsburg) and Cresco, a series of transactions was completed on November 30, 2018 resulting in a reorganization of Cresco and Randsburg and pursuant to which Randsburg became the indirect parent and sole voting unitholder of Cresco. The Business Combination constituted a reverse takeover of Randsburg by Cresco under applicable securities laws.

Cresco was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of Illinois on October 8, 2013 and is governed by the Pre-Combination LLC Agreement. The Pre-Combination LLC Agreement was further amended and restated in connection with the completion of the Business Combination. Please see “Description of Unit Capital of Cresco – A&R LLC Agreement” for additional details as to the A&R LLC Agreement.

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS

Cresco exists to provide high-quality and consistent cannabis-based products to consumers. Cresco blends regulatory compliance expertise with best practices from the agricultural, pharmaceutical and consumer packaged goods industries. Cresco (either directly or indirectly through subsidiaries) has been awarded three licenses to cultivate and manufacture medicinal cannabis in the State of Illinois. Cresco was awarded a cultivation license in Pennsylvania and was one of only five cultivators that was initially also awarded a dispensary license, which allows for up to three dispensaries, with a second license granted in December 2018 for up to three additional dispensaries. Cresco was awarded both a cultivation license and a dispensary license in Ohio and was the first approved dispensary to begin operations in Ohio in December 2018. Cresco received prequalification from the State of Michigan, which will allow Cresco, via an affiliated entity, to operate growing, processing and provisioning center facilities in Michigan. Cresco also has an interest in a cultivation, processing, and dispensary license in Nevada, an ownership interest in cultivation and processing licenses in California, owns and operates five dispensaries in Illinois and owns and operates two cultivation centers and one dispensary location in Arizona. Cresco acquired one medical cannabis cultivation center license and four dispensary locations in New York (refer to “Acquisitions and Dispositions” below for further information). Most recently, Cresco was the first cultivator in Illinois to receive approvals to grow adult-use cannabis; all three cultivation facilities were granted approvals in the state. Additionally, Cresco’s five Illinois dispensary locations were approved for dispensing adult-use cannabis in the state upon legalization, effective January 1, 2020. Cresco has completed an agreement to acquire assets in Massachusetts, including state registration and licensing that will allow for cultivation, manufacturing, processing, and the establishment and operation of a medical marijuana dispensary, with the ability to obtain up to three medical marijuana dispensary licenses and three adult-use dispensary licenses. Additionally, Cresco has completed its acquisition of operations in California, via the acquisition of CannaRoyalty Corp. d/b/a Origin House (“Origin House”) (refer to “Acquisitions and Dispositions” section below for further information).

Cresco plans to leverage the success in these markets to expand into legalized cannabis markets in other states, while focusing on compliance, control, efficiency, and product performance in the medicinal or adult-use cannabis industry.

Cresco owns and operates cultivation, manufacturing and retail dispensary businesses. The manufacturing and retail businesses are operational today and vertically integrated across eight highly regulated and/or limited licenses, and therefore limited legal supply markets: Illinois, Nevada, Ohio, Arizona, Pennsylvania, California, New York and Massachusetts, with processing operations in Maryland, and is expected to commence cultivation, manufacturing and retail dispensary operations in Michigan. These markets, where supply and demand can be reasonably predicted and forecasted, create the foundation upon which Cresco has created the opportunity for sustainable growth. Importantly, Cresco is not yet active in markets popularized by mainstream media like Washington, Oregon and Colorado where loose regulatory frameworks create unpredictable supply-demand market dynamics.

This ownership of wholesale and retail businesses supports Cresco’s strategy of distributing brands at scale by enabling Cresco to capture market share, generate brand awareness, and earn customer loyalty in its operating markets by guaranteeing share-of-shelf in its own retail stores and its ability to foster mutually beneficial relationships with its third-party dispensary customers as a large supplier of a portfolio of distinct and trusted cannabis brands.

Acquisitions and Dispositions

Valley AG

On October 8, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the membership interests of Gloucester Street Capital, LLC (“Gloucester”), the parent entity of Valley Agriceuticals, LLC (“Valley Ag”) via a merger between Gloucester and a subsidiary of Cresco. Valley Ag holds one of the ten vertically integrated cannabis business licenses granted in the State of New York by the New York State Department of Health. This license will allow the Company the right to operate one cultivation facility and four dispensaries in New York. Valley Ag’s assets include an operational processing facility and four licensed dispensaries.

On the date of announcement, total consideration for the OH Arrangement was equal to approximately $1.1 billion on a fully-diluted basis, or $12.68 per Origin House share, and after giving effect to the OH Arrangement, Origin House shareholders would have held approximately 20% ownership in the pro forma entity (on a pro forma fully-diluted and as converted basis). On October 22, 2019, the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (“HSR Act”), expired, which was the last significant regulatory approval required to complete the OH Arrangement. On November 13, 2019, the Company announced that the parties to the arrangement agreement entered into an amended arrangement agreement (the “OH Amended Arrangement Agreement”) to provide for certain changes to the covenants and agreements contained to the original arrangement agreement. Pursuant to the OH Amended Arrangement Agreement, the consideration payable under the OH Arrangement was reduced from 0.8428 of a Subordinate Voting Share for each common share of Origin House and 84.28 Subordinate Voting Shares for each class A compressed share of Origin House, to 0.7031 of a Subordinate Voting Share for each common share of Origin House and 70.31 Subordinate Voting Shares for each class A compressed share of Origin House. On November 26, 2019, Origin House announced that it had obtained an interim order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) in connection with the OH Amended Arrangement Agreement, authorizing Origin House to hold a second meeting of its shareholders on December 31, 2019 (the “Meeting”).

On January 8, 2020, Cresco announced the closing of the acquisition of Origin House. The OH Arrangement was effected by way of a plan of arrangement under Section 182 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).

Origin House is building a premium suite of branded cannabis consumer products in California, supported by its existing and growing portfolio of strategic manufacturing and distribution assets. Origin House’s current portfolio of products includes wholly-owned and licensed products and brands in large and high growth segments of the cannabis industry including vaping, pre-rolls, edibles, topicals, patches, creams, intimacy oils, concentrates, and animal health products. Origin House will also seek to create synergies and brand out-licensing opportunities among its portfolio companies and products in Canada, as well as Washington, Arizona, Oregon, Florida and Puerto Rico.

The legal closing of the acquisition occurred in April 2019, giving the Company 98% ownership of all TINAD, LLC-related entities. The Company obtained the remaining 2% ownership of TINAD, LLC in April 2020.

United States Industry Background and Trends

The emergence of the legal cannabis sector in the United States, both for medical and adult-use, has been rapid as more states adopt regulations for its production and sale. Today 60% of Americans live in a state where cannabis is legal in some form and almost a quarter of the population lives in states where it is fully legalized for adult use.1

The use of cannabis and cannabis derivatives to treat or alleviate the symptoms of a wide variety of chronic conditions has been generally accepted by a majority of citizens with a growing acceptance by the medical community as well. A review of the research, published in 2015 in the Journal of the American Medical Association, found strong evidence that cannabis can treat pain and muscle spasms.2 The pain component is particularly important because other studies have suggested that cannabis can replace pain patients’ use of highly addictive, potentially deadly opiates — meaning marijuana legalization has the potential to save lives.3

Polls throughout the U.S. consistently show overwhelming support for the legalization of medical cannabis, together with strong majority support for the full legalization of recreational adult-use cannabis. It is estimated that 94% of the U.S. voters support legalizing cannabis for medical use.4 In addition, 64% of the U.S. public supports legalizing cannabis for adult recreational use.5 These represent large increases in public support over the past 40 years in favor of legal cannabis use.

Notwithstanding that more than half of the U.S. states have now legalized adult-use and/or medical marijuana, marijuana remains illegal under U.S. federal law with marijuana listed as a Schedule I drug under the United States Controlled Substances Act (the “CSA”). See “Description of the Business” and “Risk Factors” below. The United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) defines Schedule I drugs, substances or chemicals as “drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.” The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) has not approved marijuana as a safe and effective drug for any indication.

Unlike in Canada, which has federal legislation uniformly governing the cultivation, distribution, sale and possession of medical marijuana under the Cannabis Act (Canada), marijuana is largely regulated at the state level in the United States.

State laws regulating cannabis are in direct conflict with the CSA, which makes cannabis use and possession federally illegal in the United States. Although certain states and territories of the U.S. authorize medical or recreational cannabis production and distribution by licensed or registered entities, under U.S. federal law, the possession, use, cultivation, and transfer of cannabis and any related drug paraphernalia is illegal and any such acts are criminal acts under U.S. federal law under any and all circumstances under the CSA. Although Cresco’s and its subsidiaries activities are compliant with applicable United States state and local law, strict compliance with state and local laws with respect to cannabis may neither absolve Cresco and its subsidiaries of liability under United States federal law, nor provide a defense to any U.S. federal proceeding which may be brought against Cresco or its subsidiaries.

Due to the support for legal access to marijuana at the state level, there has been rapid opportunity growth in the U.S. market. Sales of legal cannabis flowers and cannabis-infused derivative and edible products totaled $6.1 billion in 20176. The U.S. market for direct legal cannabis sales (including both medical and adult use) alone is projected to grow to $22.2 billion by 2022.7 By 2030, the size of the U.S. cannabis market is projected to be approximately $63 billion.8 Going forward, the Company expects that the U.S. cannabis industry will continue to be subject to state legislation, with additional states regulating the medical and recreational use of cannabis.

The number of medical cannabis patients in states with existing comprehensive medical cannabis programs was approximately 1.5 million by the end of 2017, served by approximately 1,500-2,000 medical dispensaries nationwide, a disproportionate number of those in California. It is currently estimated that each patient spends about $2,000 annually,9 and that the total number of medical cannabis patients nationwide is expected to grow to 2.5 million by 2021.10

The Company has current operations in the states of Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, California, Nevada, Arizona, Maryland, Massachusetts, and New York with approved expansion into Michigan via an affiliated entity. It intends to expand into other states within the U.S. that have legalized cannabis use either medicinally or recreationally. On December 20, 2018, the 2018 Farm Bill (the “Farm Bill”) became law in the United States. Under the Farm Bill, industrial and commercial hemp is no longer to be classified as a Schedule I controlled substance in the United States. Hemp includes the plant cannabis sativa L and any part of that plant, including seeds, derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids and isomers. To qualify under the Farm Bill, hemp must contain no more than 0.3 % of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”). The Farm Bill explicitly allows interstate commerce of hemp which will enable the transportation and shipment of hemp.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

General

Cresco is one of the largest vertically-integrated multi-state cannabis operators in the United States. Cresco is built to become the most important company in the cannabis industry by combining the most strategic geographic footprint with one of the leading distribution platforms in North America. Employing a consumer-packaged goods (“CPG”) approach to cannabis, Cresco’s house of brands is designed to meet the needs of all consumer segments and includes some of the most recognized and trusted national brands including Cresco, Remedi and Mindy’s, a line of edibles created by James Beard Award-winning chef Mindy Segal. Sunnyside*, Cresco’s national dispensary brand, is a wellness-focused retailer designed to build trust, education and convenience for both existing and new cannabis consumers. Recognizing that the cannabis industry is poised to become one of the leading job creators in the country, Cresco has launched the industry’s first national comprehensive Social Equity and Educational Development (SEED) initiative designed to ensure that all members of society have the skills, knowledge and opportunity to work in and own businesses in the cannabis industry.

Rooted in the fundamentals of CPG brand building, Cresco has implemented a CPG strategy to create and distribute a differentiated portfolio of brands that are aligned to distinct audiences, need states and occasions.

Cresco operates the following family of brands:

 

   

Cresco – Elevating everyday cannabis. Cresco offers the most popular and consistent strains, available in a wide variety of product forms at dispensaries and retail locations nationwide.

 

   

Reserve – Reserve is a demonstration of the cannabis plant’s highest potential. Reserve selects strains with exclusive, proprietary genetics, nurture them with masterful cultivation techniques, and harvest just the top 10% of the flower by hand.

 

   

Remedi – Remedi products provide a safe, consistent and trusted alternative to traditional pharmaceuticals like opioids. With familiar formats and user-friendly delivering systems, Remedi is designed to help patients and consumers feel comfortable with cannabis.

 

   

Mindy’s – Restaurant-quality edibles created by James Beard Award-Winning Pastry Chef and Mistress of Deliciousness, Mindy Segal. Infused with the best-quality cannabis oils, a wide variety of uniquely delicious bites are available at multiple potency levels, all with a dose of decadence.

 

   

High Supply – High Supply is quality cannabis, available in bulk. High Supply buds are expertly grown, lab-tested and available in popcorn, shake, pre-rolls and vapes.

Good News – Good News is a line of cannabis products that removes the complexity of understanding terpenes and strains by creating easy to understand formulations, each named after a social mindset (Me Time, Brunch, Friyay and Vegas). Good News products are easy to use, benefit forward and made for sharing.

 

   

Wonder – Wonder Wellness products are designed to simplify cannabis, with a focus on consumers who are new to the experience. The Wonder line is built around manageable, micro-dose forms, with a range of ratios across products.

With a portfolio consisting of approximately 350 products and 5,000 SKUs, Cresco’s products (dependent upon closing of pending acquisitions) are sold in over 700 dispensaries across the country. Cresco has consistently demonstrated the ability to place its branded products on the shelves of most dispensaries in a targeted state. The CPG and wholesale strategy enables Cresco to maximize its points of distribution and drive revenue growth independent of the expansion of its retail presence. Cresco prioritizes wholesale in order to reach as many consumers as possible, accessing the scaled benefits of a national footprint.

Cresco’s 16 owned dispensaries (and 7 additional retail licenses) give it the ability to not only sell its own products but focus on educating and building trust within the surrounding communities. These dispensaries serve as a critical platform for innovation and powerful consumer insights as it shapes the future of cannabis.

On December 3, 2018, the Company began trading on the CSE under the ticker symbol “CL.”

On March 6, 2019, the Company’s shares had been approved to be quoted on the Over-the-Counter-Market (“OTC”) and will trade under the ticker symbol “CRLBF.”

On August 13, 2019, the Company began trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “6CQ.”

Significant Events or Milestones

Growth Strategy

The legalization of cannabis throughout the United States continues to expand both recreationally and medically. Analysts at Cowen and Co. have established that the size of the U.S. cannabis market could surpass $50 billion by 2026.11 On the recreational side, there are currently multiple states in which the recreational sale of cannabis has been approved. These states include Alaska, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Illinois, Michigan and Maine. In these markets, recreational sales should continue to grow as cannabis retailers benefit from a shift in consumers from illegal sales to legal sales and from new cannabis consumers. Cresco plans on capitalizing on the significant increase in cannabis consumption in these recreational markets through both an expansion of its retail footprint, as well an entry into other sizable recreational markets. Cresco will also seek opportunities to expand its cultivation and production operations in recreational markets through expansions of its existing facilities or through acquisitions of additional licenses or cultivation operators.

With respect to medical marijuana, as more research centers study the effects of cannabis-based products in treating or addressing therapeutic needs, and assuming that research findings demonstrate that such products are effective in doing so, management believes that the size of the U.S. medical cannabis market will also continue to grow as more states expand their medical marijuana programs and new states legalize medical marijuana. Given Cresco’s existing operations in Illinois and Pennsylvania, Cresco is well-versed in operating within a medical-only market and will continue to seek opportunities to expand into both new medical-only markets as well as adult use markets.

Cresco plans to leverage the success in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Nevada, California, Arizona, Massachusetts, and New York to expand into legalized cannabis markets in other states, while focusing on compliance, control, efficiency, and product performance in the medicinal or adult use cannabis industry. Its strategy is to create a national brand by executing on the following actions:

 

   

Pursue acquisition of license or existing cannabis operations in other legal cannabis markets

 

   

Complete application process for new states beginning or expanding medical cannabis programs, such as Michigan

 

   

Create licensing and/or distribution partnerships to expand Mindy Segal edible products into growing markets, such as Nevada and California

Cresco has proven its ability to become operational in new markets and plans on continuing this trend. It completed construction of three cultivation facilities, with over 110,000 square feet of cultivation space, in approximately six months. It was one of the first operators in the State of Pennsylvania to be approved and come to market as a cultivator and dispensary. It was also one of the first cultivators to be deemed operational after acquiring a cultivation license in the State of Ohio.

Cultivation

Cresco is building or has built and/or renovated thirteen separate cultivation facilities, totaling approximately 1.0 million12 cultivation square feet, across eight states (being Illinois, Nevada, Arizona, Ohio, California, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and New York currently) which includes other non-cultivation activities. It operates both indoor and hybrid green houses. Cresco’s multiple cultivation, extraction and processing facilities allow it to produce cannabis products across several product categories.

Cresco currently has the following approximate cultivation square footage in each respective state of operation:

Total

     603,000        356,000        959,000  

Designed to provide consistency of product, increase yields and minimize the possibility of crop failure, each of Cresco’s facilities is equipped with traditional commercial agriculture components, automated environmental control systems, and watering and feed fertigation systems. Developed over years of research, its proprietary nutritional regimen is utilized to ensure crop quality. Using organic and soluble-based plant nutritional supplements, secondary metabolites (cannabinoids/terpenes) are maximized resulting in superior flower quality, yield and consistency. Cresco has invested more than $45 million in cultivation and processing facilities and plans on continuing to do so.

Manufacturing

Cresco’s laboratory instrumentation gives it the ability to formulate and develop a variety of products based on traditional pharmaceutical delivery systems – pills, tinctures, topical salves, transdermal patches and edible forms with a variety of cannabinoid profiles. Cresco’s kitchen is outfitted with equipment that allows us to produce shelf-stable quality confections with consistency. Cresco has plans to develop a kitchen and laboratory in every state it operates in with the exception of Pennsylvania and New York due to regulatory restrictions on production and sales of edible products. It is expected that 40-50% of the raw cannabis produced at Cresco’s production facilities (except for raw

cannabis produced in Pennsylvania and New York) will be used at Cresco’s kitchens and laboratories to make the vaporizable, oral, topical and edible products sold under the Cresco, ‘Reserve’, ‘Remedi’, and ‘Mindy’s’ brands.

Dispensaries

Wholesale

Cresco collaborates with its retail partners on strategic in-store promotions, customer events, and shelf space tactics to ensure maximum sell throughput. The Company takes a data-driven approach in its efforts to create an optimized sale process.

Retail

Cresco has an ownership interest (assuming the completion of and regulatory approval for the transactions contemplated herein) in the following: five (5) operational dispensaries in the State of Illinois; six (6) dispensaries in the State of Pennsylvania (three of which are currently operational); one (1) dispensary in the State of Arizona; one (1) dispensary in the State of Ohio; four (4) dispensaries in the State of New York; and one (1) dispensary in the State of Massachusetts.

Real Estate Strategy

Cresco is focused on entering cannabis markets with demand potential, supply constraints and high barriers to entry. Within its core markets, Cresco spends time and resources in selecting real estate in premium locations with significant foot traffic and proximity to popular attractions (restaurants, malls, sports arenas, hotels, etc.). Cresco targets retail spaces based on the market and available real estate. Cresco utilizes both its internal real estate team and a network of real estate brokers to negotiate leases and purchases on behalf of the company. Cresco typically prefers purchasing the underlying real estate for its retail operations and has been successful in securing debt financing for its real estate acquisitions. When purchasing real estate is not possible, it attempts to secure long-term leases and purchase options. Recently, Cresco entered into a number of sale and leaseback transactions in order to unlock real estate value. See the “Significant Events or Milestones” section above for a description of significant sale and leaseback transactions related to Cresco’s operations.

Branding and Marketing

Cresco utilizes a multi-brand approach to product development. The brand “Cresco” features THC-focused products available in flower, vape pens, and multiple forms of extracts. Each product falls into one of three proprietary categories: “Rise”, “Refresh”, “Rest”, named and color-coded to help the user intuitively identify the desired effects of the relevant strain’s cannabinoid profile. “Mindy’s Artisanal Edibles” and “Mindy’s Kitchen” are brands created in collaboration with James Beard Award Winning Chef Mindy Segal and are the industry’s first true culinary-backed edible option. Both of Mindy’s lines are lauded for their unique flavor profiles and delectability. “Reserve” products are made from Cresco’s most premium and exclusive plants and are the reward of years of selective breeding. “Remedi” products are designed for the medically-minded patient, with forms reminiscent of traditional pharmaceuticals. Additionally, the Company recently introduced three new brands “High Supply”, “Wonder” and “Good News.” “Sunnyside*” the Company’s national dispensary brand was introduced in late 2019.

Banking and Processing

Cresco deposits funds from its dispensary operations into its banking partners in each respective market. These state-chartered banks are fully aware of the nature of Cresco’s business and continue to remain supportive of Cresco’s growth plans. Cresco’s dispensaries currently accept only cash and debit card and do not process credit card payments. It is anticipated that over time all forms of payment will be accepted by each of the dispensaries.

Product Selection and Offerings

Product selection decisions are currently made by leaders from the product development, operations, finance, marketing and sales teams, who negotiate and receive bids from potential brand vendors across all product categories including flower, vape pens, oils, extracts, edibles and pre-rolls. Cresco bases its product selection decisions on market demand and opportunity, product quality, margin potential, consumer feedback and the ability for the respective brands to scale. Cresco also anticipates requiring brands to pay slotting fees for shelf space.

Cresco’s manufactured products are sold through Company-owned and managed dispensaries as well as third-party dispensaries. In the future, as production capacity increases, Cresco expects to sell bulk product, as well as new branded products to other dispensaries through both Company-owned and third-party distributors. The full extent of this will depend upon the ultimate extent of the Cresco-owned and managed retail footprint, as well as the ultimate expanded production capacity of Cresco’s cultivation and production facilities.

Competition

With respect to retail operations, Cresco expects to compete with other retail license holders across the markets that it operates in.

However, it is expected that the majority of these dispensaries will be forced to cease operations in the next twelve months. In addition to physical dispensaries, Cresco also expects to compete with third-party delivery services, which provide direct-to-consumer delivery services.

In terms of cultivation and production, Cresco expects to compete with other licensed cultivators and operators in the states in which it operates.

Awaiting notice of successful application reviews

Ongoing application review is occurring at the Canadian and U.S. Federal level as well as within the state of California. Due to recent increases in the number of IP applications in the cannabis industry, Cresco anticipates feedback on the remaining submitted applications to be seen on a rolling basis and as early as the end of the third quarter 2020. As such, Cresco will continue to rely on common law protection for these brands during the trademark registration process. Moreover, Cresco will proactively seek intellectual property protection for brand expansions in current markets as well as any new market expansion. For additional details on the risks associated with the lack of trademark protection please see “Risk Factors – Intellectual Property”.

Patents

Cresco is in the process of registering two (2) patents for the proprietary technologies and processes specifically in extraction process for producing liquid live resin. Applications seeking expedited review were submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office in the fourth quarter of 2019. However, with the ongoing application review and increased number of IP applications in the cannabis industry, Cresco anticipates feedback on both applications as early as the end of the fourth quarter of 2020. For additional details on the risks associated with the lack of patent protection please see “Risk Factors – Intellectual Property.

United States Regulatory Environment

The following sections describe the legal and regulatory landscape in the states in which Cresco operates. While Cresco’s operations are in full compliance with all applicable state laws, regulations and licensing requirements, for the reasons described above and the risks further described in “Risk Factors”, there are significant risks associated with the business of Cresco. Readers are strongly encouraged to carefully read all of the risk factors contained in “Risk Factors” below.

Federal Regulatory Environment

Under U.S. federal law, marijuana is currently a Schedule I drug. The CSA has five different tiers or schedules. A Schedule I drug means the Drug Enforcement Agency (“DEA”) considers it to have a high potential for abuse, no accepted medical treatment, and lack of accepted safety for the use of it even under medical supervision. Other Schedule I drugs are heroin, LSD and ecstasy. Cresco believes the CSA categorization as a Schedule I drug is not reflective of the medicinal properties of marijuana or the public perception thereof, and numerous studies show cannabis is not able to be abused in the same way as other Schedule I drugs, has medicinal properties, and can be safely administered. Additionally, while studies show cannabis is less harmful than alcohol,15 alcohol is not classified under the CSA.

The U.S. federal position is also not necessarily consistent with democratic approval of marijuana at the state government level in the United States. Unlike in Canada, which has federal legislation uniformly governing the cultivation, distribution, sale and possession of marijuana under the Cannabis Act (Canada), marijuana is largely regulated at the state level in the United States. State laws regulating cannabis conflict with the CSA, which makes cannabis use and possession federally illegal. Although certain states and territories of the United States authorize medical or adult-use cannabis production and distribution by licensed or registered entities, under United States federal law, the possession, use, cultivation, and transfer of cannabis and any related drug paraphernalia is illegal, and any such acts are criminal acts. Although the Company’s activities are compliant with applicable state and local laws, strict compliance with state and local laws with respect to cannabis may neither absolve the Company of liability under United States federal law nor provide a defense to federal criminal charges that may be brought against the Company. The Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution establishes that the United States Constitution and federal laws made pursuant to it are paramount and, in case of conflict between federal and state law, federal law shall apply.

Nonetheless, more than half of the U.S. states have now legalized adult-use and/or medical marijuana. As more and more states legalized medical and/or adult-use marijuana, the federal government sought to provide guidance to enforcement agencies and banking institutions with the introduction of the DOJ Memorandum drafted by former Deputy Attorney General James Michael Cole in 2013 (the “Cole Memo”)16 and the Department of the Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) guidance in 2014.17

The Cole Memo offered guidance to federal enforcement agencies as to how to prioritize civil enforcement, criminal investigations and prosecutions regarding marijuana in all states. The memo put forth eight prosecution priorities:

 

   

Preventing the distribution of marijuana to minors;

 

   

Preventing revenue from the sale of marijuana from going to criminal enterprises, gangs and cartels;

Following the inauguration of President Trump, a Task Force on Crime Reduction and Public Safety was established through an executive order by the President of the U.S. in February 2017. The Task Force was to deliver its recommendations by July 27, 2017. To date, its recommendations have not been made public.

In March 2017, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions acknowledged the validity of the Cole Memo and noted limited federal resources due to the appropriations restrictions.

However, in January 2018, United States Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, issued a memorandum (the “Sessions Memo”), which rescinded the Cole Memo and thereby created a vacuum of guidance for enforcement agencies and the DOJ. As an industry best practice, despite the recent rescission of the Cole Memo, the Company continues to do the following to ensure compliance with the guidance provided by the Cole Memo:

 

   

ensure the operations of its subsidiaries (or third parties, in the jurisdictions where Cresco conducts its business as an ancillary services provider) are compliant with all licensing requirements that are set forth with regards to cannabis operation by the applicable state, county, municipality, town, township, borough, and other political/administrative divisions. To this end, Cresco retains appropriately experienced legal counsel to conduct the necessary due diligence to ensure compliance of such operations with all applicable regulations;

 

   

the activities relating to cannabis business adhere to the scope of the licensing obtained – for example, in the states where only medical cannabis is permitted, the products are only sold to patients who hold the necessary documentation to permit the possession of the cannabis; and in the states where cannabis is permitted for adult recreational use, the products are only sold to individuals who meet the requisite age requirements;

 

   

in working with licensed operators, such as cultivators and manufacturers in due diligence on the policies and procedures to ensure that the products are not distributed to minors. Additionally, Cresco employs professional consultants to investigate any past license violations and ensure that the business has not been involved in these types of violations;

 

   

Cresco only works through licensed operators, which must pass a range of requirements, adhere to strict business practice standards and be subjected to strict regulatory oversight with sufficient checks and balances to ensure that no revenue is distributed to criminal enterprises, gangs and cartels. Furthermore, as a part of its due diligence, Cresco retains professional consultants to vet the ownership of such cannabis businesses to ensure that no profits or revenues are used for the benefit of criminal enterprises;

 

   

as a part of its compliance audit, Cresco also ensures that the licensed operators have an adequate inventory tracking system and necessary procedures in place to ensure that such compliance system is effective in tracking inventory. This is done to ensure that there is no diversion of cannabis or cannabis products into the states where cannabis is not permitted by state law, or cross the state lines in general;

 

-26-


   

Cresco conducts the necessary review of financial records and where appropriate retains professional third-party consultants to do so, to ensure that the state-authorized cannabis business activity is not used as a cover or pre-text for trafficking of other illegal drugs or engaged in other illegal activity or any activities that are contrary to any applicable anti-money laundering statutes;

 

   

Cresco conducts background checks to ensure that the principals and management of the licensed operators are of good character, and have not been involved with other illegal drugs, engaged in illegal activity or activities involving violence, or use of firearms in cultivation, manufacturing or distribution of cannabis;

 

   

Cresco conducts reviews of activities of the cannabis businesses, the premises on which they operate and the policies and procedures that are related to possession of cannabis or cannabis products outside of licensed premises (including the cases where such possession permitted by regulation – e.g. transfer of products between licensed premises). These activities are done to ensure that no licensed operators possess or use cannabis on federal property or engage in manufacturing or cultivation of cannabis on federal lands; and

 

   

Cresco conducts reviews of products and product packaging to ensure that the products comply with applicable regulations and contain necessary disclaimers about the contents of the products to prevent adverse public health consequences from cannabis use and prevent impaired driving.

On November 7, 2018, Mr. Sessions tendered his resignation as Attorney General at the request of President Donald Trump. Following Mr. Sessions’ resignation, Matthew Whitaker began serving as Acting United States Attorney General. On February 14, 2018, President Trump’s nominee William Barr was confirmed as the Attorney General. Mr. Barr served as Attorney General in the presidential administration of George H.W. Bush from 1991 to 1993. Mr. Barr has stated that as Attorney General, he does not intend to prosecute parties, who have complied with state law in reliance on the Cole Memo. Mr. Barr has also stated the need for more legal growers of marijuana for research, and is acknowledging that a recent bill legalizing hemp has broad implications for sale of cannabis products. Further, prior to Mr. Barr’s confirmation, he stated that he has not considered or determined whether further administrative guidance would be appropriate, or what such guidance might look like. however, he did note that if confirmed, he would give the matter careful consideration (collectively the “Barr Comments”).

Due to the ambiguity of the Sessions Memo and the uncertainty of the actions Mr. Barr may take, there can be no assurance that the federal government will not seek to prosecute cases involving marijuana businesses that are otherwise compliant with state law. The DOJ has not historically devoted resources to prosecuting individuals whose conduct is limited to possession of small amounts of marijuana for use on private property, but has relied on State and local law enforcement to address marijuana activity. In the event the DOJ reverses its stated policy and begins strict enforcement of the CSA in states that have laws legalizing medical marijuana and adult-use marijuana in small amounts, there may be a direct and adverse impact to our business and our revenue and profits.

Since the issuance of the Sessions Memo, limited public comments have been made by the U.S. Attorneys in the jurisdictions in which the reporting issuer operates regarding the enforcement of federal law related to cannabis. The U.S. Attorneys who have made statements where the reporting issuer operates are outlined below.

Benjamin C. Glassman, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, stated that “Congress made marijuana illegal under the Controlled Substances Act. That was true under Deputy Attorney General Cole’s 2013 memorandum on marijuana enforcement, and it’s just as true under the Sessions Memo today.” Further Mr. Glassman has taken the position that federal law enforcement continues to work with limited resources and is focused on prosecutions that have the biggest impact on public safety.

Justin E. Herdman, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio, stated that he does not plan to change his approach to bringing criminal cases involving marijuana, even in light of guidance from the Sessions Memo the has freed the ability of prosecutors to pursue such cases.

A spokesperson for McGregor Scott, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of California, has stated that that marijuana violations in the Eastern District will be evaluated in accordance with our district’s federal law enforcement priorities and resources.

Adam Braverman, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of California, commented that the DOJ is committed to reducing violent crime and enforcing the laws as enacted by Congress. The cultivation, distribution, and possession of marijuana has long been and remains a violation of federal law and the Southern District of California will utilize long-established prosecutorial priorities to carry out its mission to combat violent crime, disrupt and dismantle transnational criminal organizations, and stem the rising tide of the drug crisis.

Andrew Lelling, U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts, commented that Congress has unambiguously made it a federal crime to cultivate, distribute and/or possess marijuana and as a law enforcement officer in the Executive Branch, it is his sworn responsibility to enforce that law, guided by the Principles of Federal Prosecution. Mr. Lelling acknowledged that he will proceed on a case-by-case basis, assessing each matter according to those principles and deciding whether to use limited federal resources to pursue it. Mr. Lelling expressed concern deciding, in advance, to immunize a certain category of actors from federal prosecution would be to effectively amend the laws Congress has already passed. The kind of categorical relief sought by those engaged in state-level marijuana legalization efforts can only come from the legislative process.

John Childress, U.S. Attorney for the Central District of Illinois, commented that for citizens of central Illinois, the Sessions Memo does not change long-established prosecutorial principles to enforce federal law and that his office will continue to work together with our law enforcement partners, to promote the safety and interests of our local communities.

Matthew Schneider, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan, was reported as saying that his office will review marijuana cases in terms of where those cases fit within our priorities and our limited federal resources.

Scott Brady, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania, released a statement which noted that his office will continue to deploy all prosecutorial tools at our disposal to protect the citizens of western Pennsylvania from those individuals and criminal organizations which traffic in all illegal controlled substances, including marijuana. This was in contrast to Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf who views the Sessions Memo as a backwards move and vowed to protect cancer patients, kids with epilepsy, veterans with PTSD and all Pennsylvanians seeking relief from legal medical marijuana. Governor Wolf was critical of the Trump Administration and affirmed his commitment to do everything in his power to protect Pennsylvania patients.

On January 8, 2018, Mr. Andrew E. Lelling, U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts, commented that his office cannot provide assurances that certain categories of participants in the state-level marijuana trade will be immune from federal prosecution. In addition, Mr. Lelling’s office released the following statement:

“This is a straightforward rule of law issue. Congress has unambiguously made it a federal crime to cultivate, distribute and/or possess marijuana. As a law enforcement officer in the Executive Branch, it is Mr. Lelling’s sworn responsibility to enforce that law, guided by the Principles of Federal Prosecution. To do that, however, Mr. Lelling must proceed on a case-by-case basis, assessing each matter according to those principles and deciding whether to use limited federal resources to pursue it. Deciding, in advance, to immunize a certain category of actors from federal prosecution would be to effectively amend the laws Congress has already passed, and that Mr. Lelling will not do. The kind of categorical relief sought by those engaged in state-level marijuana legalization efforts can only come from the legislative process.”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, there is no guarantee that the current Presidential administration will not change the stated policy of the previous administration regarding the low-priority enforcement of U.S. federal laws that conflict with state laws. The Trump administration and Congress could decide to enforce U.S. federal laws vigorously.

Due to the CSA categorization of marijuana as a Schedule I drug, U.S. federal law makes it illegal for financial institutions that depend on the Federal Reserve’s money transfer system to take any proceeds from marijuana sales as deposits. Banks and other financial institutions could be prosecuted and possibly convicted of money laundering for providing services to cannabis businesses under the United States Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970 (the “Bank Secrecy Act”). Under U.S. federal law, banks or other financial institutions that provide a cannabis business with a checking account, debit or credit card, small business loan, or any other service could be found guilty of money laundering or conspiracy.

On January 16, 2018, a coalition of 19 attorney generals from various states, including: Ms. Lisa Madigan, Illinois Attorney General, Xavier Becerra, California Attorney General, Eric T. Schneiderman, New York Attorney General (who has since been replaced by Barbara Underwood) and Josh Shapiro, Pennsylvania Attorney General released a joint statement urging Congress to advance legislation that would allow states with legalized medical or recreational marijuana to participate in the banking system. Banks and other depository institutions are currently hindered by federal law from providing financial services to marijuana businesses, even in states where those businesses are regulated. In February 2019, the House Financial Services subcommittee took up proposed legislation, the Secure and Fair Enforcement Banking Act of 2019 or SAFE Banking Act (the “SAFE Act”), that would protect banks and their employees from punishment for providing services to cannabis businesses that are legal on a state level. First hearings for the SAFE Banking Act occurred in February 2019 and the bill was introduced in Congress in March 2019.

While the United States Congress is contemplating the SAFE Act, if Congress fails to pass the SAFE Act, the Company’s inability, or limitations on the Company’s ability, to open or maintain bank accounts, obtain other banking services and/or accept credit card and debit card payments may make it difficult for the Company to operate and conduct its business as planned or to operate efficiently.

While there has been no change in U.S. federal banking laws to account for the trend towards legalizing medical and recreational marijuana by U.S. states, FinCEN has issued guidance advising prosecutors of money laundering and other financial crimes not to focus their enforcement efforts on banks and other financial institutions that serve marijuana-related businesses, so long as that business is legal in their state and none of the federal enforcement priorities are being violated (such as keeping marijuana away from children and out of the hands of organized crime). The FinCEN guidance also clarifies how financial institutions can provide services to marijuana-related businesses consistent with their Bank Secrecy Act obligations, including thorough customer due diligence, but makes it clear that they are doing so at their own risk. The customer due diligence steps include:

 

  1.

verifying with the appropriate state authorities whether the business is duly licensed and registered;

 

  2.

reviewing the license application (and related documentation) submitted by the business for obtaining a state license to operate its marijuana-related business;

 

  3.

requesting from state licensing and enforcement authorities available information about the business and related parties;

 

  4.

developing an understanding of the normal and expected activity for the business, including the types of products to be sold and the type of customers to be served (e.g., medical versus recreational customers);

 

  5.

ongoing monitoring of publicly available sources for adverse information about the business and related parties;

 

  6.

ongoing monitoring for suspicious activity, including for any of the red flags described in this guidance; and

 

-29-


  7.

refreshing information obtained as part of customer due diligence on a periodic basis and commensurate with the risk. With respect to information regarding state licensure obtained in connection with such customer due diligence, a financial institution may reasonably rely on the accuracy of information provided by state licensing authorities, where states make such information available.

Due to the fear by financial institutions of being implicated in or prosecuted for money laundering, marijuana businesses are often forced into becoming “cash-only” businesses. As banks and other financial institutions in the U.S. are generally unwilling to risk a potential violation of federal law without guaranteed immunity from prosecution, most refuse to provide any kind of services to marijuana businesses. Despite the attempt by FinCEN to legitimize marijuana banking, in practice its guidance has not made banks much more willing to provide services to marijuana businesses. This is because, as described above, the current law does not guarantee banks immunity from prosecution, and it also requires banks and other financial institutions to undertake time-consuming and costly due diligence on each marijuana business they take on as a customer. Recently, some banks that have been servicing marijuana businesses have been closing accounts operated by marijuana businesses and are now refusing to open accounts for new marijuana businesses for the reasons enumerated above.

The few credit unions who have agreed to work with marijuana businesses are limiting those accounts to no more than 5% of their total deposits to avoid creating a liquidity risk. Since the federal government could change the banking laws as it relates to marijuana businesses at any time and without notice, these credit unions must keep sufficient cash on hand to be able to return the full value of all deposits from marijuana businesses in a single day, while also servicing the need of their other customers.

The U.S. Treasury Department, headed by Stephen Mnuchin, has publicly stated they were not informed of the Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ desire to rescind the Cole Memo and do not have a desire to rescind the FinCEN guidance for financial institutions.18 Multiple legislators believe that Sessions’ rescinding of the Cole Memo invites an opportunity for Congress to pass more definitive protections for marijuana businesses in states with legal marijuana programs during this Congress.19

On December 20, 2014, President Obama signed into law a federal spending bill with a Congressional appropriation rider for the year ending September 30, 2015, providing that “None of the funds made available to the DOJ pursuant to the 2015 Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act may be used to prevent certain states, including Arizona, Nevada and California, from implementing their own laws that have authorized the use, distribution, possession, or cultivation of medical marijuana” (the “Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment”). This limitation was carried over for the year ending September 30, 2016. The DOJ addressed the impact of the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment in a memorandum dated February 27, 2015, which was released to the public in August 2015. That memorandum took the position that the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment does not bar the use of funds for civil and criminal enforcement “consistent with the existing DOJ guidance….” The DOJ’s interpretation appears to have been firmly rejected by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (which includes federal court districts of Arizona and Nevada). In a decision dated August 16, 2016, the Court specifically ruled that the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment prohibited the use of DOJ funds for “conduct completely authorized by State law” United States v McIntosh, No.15-10117, 2016 WL 4363168, at 32 (9th Cir. Aug. 16, 2016). Both Congress and marijuana-related businesses recognize that guidance is not law and thus have worked to continually renew the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment since 2014. This amendment prevents the DOJ from using congressional funds to prosecute cannabis businesses in states that have medical marijuana laws and programs. In 2017, Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont) introduced a similar amendment to H.R.1625 – a vehicle for the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2018), preventing federal prosecutors from using federal funds to impede the implementation of medical cannabis

laws enacted at the state level, subject to Congress restoring such funding, being the Leahy Amendment. The Leahy Amendment was set to expire with the 2018 fiscal year on September 30, 2018, but was effectively extended to December 21, 2018 when Congress passed the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019 in September 2018. On December 22, 2018, the U.S. Congress failed to pass an omnibus appropriations bill for fiscal year 2019, causing a shutdown of the federal government. Currently, the Leahy Amendment is no longer in effect. At this time, there can be no assurance that the federal government will not seek to prosecute cases involving medical cannabis businesses that are otherwise compliant with state law. Further, while the Leahy Amendment is currently included in both the House version (referred to therein as the Joyce Amendment) and the Senate version (referred to therein as the Leahy Amendment) of the 2019 omnibus appropriations bill, there can be no assurances that it will be included in final appropriations package. Such proceedings could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, revenues, operating results and financial condition as well as the Company’s reputation, even if such proceedings were concluded successfully in favor of the Company.

For fiscal year 2019, the strategy amongst the Congressional Marijuana Working Group, is to introduce numerous marijuana-related appropriations amendments in the Appropriations Committee in both the House and Senate, similar to the strategy employed in fiscal year 2018.20 The amendments will include protections for marijuana-related businesses in states with medical and adult use marijuana laws, as well as protections for financial institutions that provide banking services to state-legal marijuana businesses.21 On February 15, 2019, the President of the United States signed an omnibus appropriations bill in respect of certain appropriations bills for the remainder of fiscal year 2019 which included appropriations protecting the medical cannabis industry.22 23 The Leahy Amendment was included in the 2020 Fiscal Year Appropriations Package of the federal budget for fiscal year 2020 which runs from October 1, 2019 to September 30, 2020, and was signed by the President of the United States on December 20, 2019 to pass. However, it should be noted that there is no assurance that such amendments will be passed into law.

On June 7, 2018, the Strengthening the Tenth Amendment Through Entrusting States Act (the “STATES Act”) was introduced in the Senate by Republican Senator Cory Gardner of Colorado and Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts. A companion bill was introduced in the House by Democratic representative Jared Polis of Colorado. The bill provides in relevant part that the provisions of the CSA, as applied to marijuana, “shall not apply to any person acting in compliance with state law relating to the manufacture, production, possession, distribution, dispensation, administration, or delivery of marihuana.” Even though marijuana will remain within Schedule I under the STATES Act, it makes the CSA unenforceable to the extent it is in conflict with state law. In essence, the bill extends the limitations afforded by the protection within the federal budget—which prevents the DOJ and the DEA from using funds to enforce federal law against state-legal medical cannabis commercial activity – to both medical and recreational cannabis activity in all states where it has been legalized. By allowing continued prohibition to be a choice by the individual states, the STATES Act does not fully legalize cannabis on a national level. In that respect, the bill emphasizes states’ rights under the Tenth Amendment, which provides that “the powers not delegated to the

businesses in the cannabis industry without the threat of money laundering prosecution, civil forfeiture, and other criminal violations that could lead to a charter revocation. The STATES Act is currently draft legislation and there is no guarantee that it will become law in its current form.

Since 2014, Congress has made immense strides in marijuana policy. The bipartisan Congressional Cannabis Caucus launched in 2017 and is headed by Representatives Dana Rohrabacher (CA-48), Earl Blumenauer (OR-03), Don Young (AK-At Large), and Jared Polis (CO-02). The group is “dedicated to developing policy reforms that bridge the gap between federal laws banning marijuana and the laws in an ever-growing number of states that have legalized it for medical or recreational purposes.24 Additionally, each year more Representatives and Senators sign on and co-sponsor marijuana legalization bills including the CARERS Act, REFER Act and others. While there are different perspectives on the most effective route to end U.S. federal marijuana prohibition, Congressman Blumenauer and Senator Wyden introduced the three-bill package, Path to Marijuana Reform which would fix the 280E provision, eliminate civil asset forfeiture and federal criminal penalties for businesses complying with state law, reduce barriers to banking, and would de-schedule, tax and regulate marijuana in 2017.25 Senator Booker has also introduced the Marijuana Justice Act, which would de-schedule marijuana, and in 2018 Congresswoman Barbara Lee introduced the House companion.

An additional challenge to marijuana-related businesses is that the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the “U.S. Tax Code”), Section 280E, are being applied by the IRS to businesses operating in the medical and adult use marijuana industry. Section 280E of the U.S. Tax Code prohibits marijuana businesses from deducting their ordinary and necessary business expenses, forcing them to pay higher effective U.S. federal tax rates than similar companies in other industries. The effective tax rate on a marijuana business depends on how large its ratio of non-deductible expenses is to its total revenues. Therefore, businesses in the legal cannabis industry may be less profitable than they would otherwise be.

On December 20, 2018, Congress passed the Farm Bill, which became law in the United States and included the legalization of hemp, which will change how hemp and hemp-derived products like CBD are regulated in the U.S., which is expected to be regulated by the United States Department of Agriculture

Currently, there are 33 states plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Guam that have laws and/or regulations that recognize, in one form or another, legitimate medical uses for cannabis and consumer use of cannabis in connection with medical treatment. Other states are considering similar legislation. Conversely, under the CSA, the policies and regulations of the federal government and its agencies are that cannabis has no proven medical benefit and a range of activities including cultivation and the personal use of cannabis is prohibited.

Local, state, and U.S. federal medical marijuana laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to evolving interpretations, which could require the Company to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or alter certain aspects of its business plan. In addition, violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt certain aspects of the Company’s business plan and result in a material adverse effect on certain aspects of its planned operations. In addition, it is possible that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to certain aspects of the Company’s business. No prediction can be made as to the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can it be determined what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our business.

Notwithstanding the permissive regulatory environment of medical marijuana at the state level, marijuana continues to be categorized as a controlled substance under the CSA. Under the CSA, the policies and regulations of the U.S. federal government and its agencies are that cannabis has no “proven” medical benefits. Unless and until Congress amends the CSA with respect to medical marijuana, as to the timing or scope of any such potential amendments there can be no assurance, there is a risk that U.S. federal authorities may enforce current U.S. federal law, and we may be deemed to be producing, cultivating, or dispensing marijuana in violation of U.S. federal law with respect to the Company’s current or proposed business operations, or the Company may be deemed to be facilitating the sale or

distribution of drug paraphernalia in violation of U.S. federal law. A change in the U.S. federal government’s approach to begin more active enforcement of cannabis may adversely affect our revenues and profits. The risk of strict enforcement of the CSA in light of Congressional activity, judicial holdings, and stated U.S. federal policy remains uncertain.

Laws and regulations affecting the medical marijuana industry are constantly changing, which could detrimentally affect the proposed operations of the Company. The risk of U.S. federal enforcement and other risks associated with the Company’s business are described “Risk Factors” below.

Illinois

Illinois Regulatory Landscape

The Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act, which allows individuals diagnosed with a debilitating medical condition access to medical marijuana, became effective January 1, 2014 and is extended through July 1, 2020. There are more than 50 qualifying conditions as part of the medical program, including epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, and post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”). Illinois’ retail market size for 2017 was over $86 million, representing an over 140% year-over-year increase. As of October 3, 2018, total retail sales were over $97 million representing an approximate 12% increase over 2017 retail sales (with 2 months remaining).26 On August 28, 2018, the Alternatives to Opioids Act (Public Act 100-1114) was signed into law. The Alternative to Opioids Act significantly expands the Illinois’ medical marijuana market by enabling patients to access medical marijuana in place of pharmaceutical opioid medications. The Illinois Department of Public Health reports that there were more than 5.3 million prescriptions for opioid-based painkillers filled last year. This paves the way for the single-largest expansion of the existing Illinois Medical Cannabis Pilot Program, which has about 42,000 authorized patients. Those patients have brought the state about $200 million in sales tax revenue since the program’s inception in late 2015.27 On August 9, 2019, the “Pilot” status was removed and the medcal program became permanent.

The Opioid Alternative Pilot Program launched January 31, 2018 with registration open through the Illinois Department of Public Health. The pilot program is part of the Alternative to Opioids Act, which former Gov. Bruce Rauner signed into law in August 2018, with the aim of combating the opioid epidemic. The pilot program will allow patients that receive or are qualified to receive opioid prescriptions access to medical marijuana as an alternative to prescription opioid medications such as OxyContin, Percocet and Vicodin. Medical Cannabis Pilot Program patients with one of more than 50 qualifying medical conditions designated by the state of Illinois, and a doctor recommendation can also receive a temporary medical cannabis card online and make immediate cannabis purchases without waiting for their permanent card to be processed. In January 2019, one of Cresco’s Illinois dispensary locations launched its participation in this pilot program and made the first sale of medical cannabis thereunder.

In January 2019, JB Pritzker was sworn into office as Governor of Illinois. Cresco’s CEO and co-founder, Charles Bachtell, has been appointed to the Cannabis Legalization Subcommittee of the governor’s transition team. Cannabis Legalization is one of four subcommittees under the Governor’s Restorative Justice and Safe Communities Transition Committee. The primary goals of the Cannabis Legalization Subcommittee are to evaluate and develop implementation recommendations for the Governor-elects platform on legalizing cannabis. As outlined during the Governor’s campaign, these priorities include safely legalizing and decriminalizing cannabis, reviewing and commuting the sentences of people incarcerated for cannabis offenses in Illinois, as well as a focus on diversity and community outreach.

On June 25, 2019, Governor Pritzker signed into law the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act, thereby legalizing the recreational use of cannabis. The establishment of a regulatory scheme and the grant of licenses to cultivate, distribute, and sell recreational cannabis in Illinois are in process for new operators. Sales of recreational cannabis began on or about January 1, 2020.

Cresco entered into sale and leaseback transactions related to three properties for its Illinois operations. See the “Significant Events or Milestones” section, above, for greater detail.

Illinois Licenses

Cresco currently operates three medical cannabis cultivation and manufacturing centers in Illinois and holds an ownership interest in five dispensary locations in Illinois. The cultivation and manufacturing licenses were awarded based on merit in a competitive application process to applicants who demonstrated operational expertise and financial backing.

Cresco is licensed to operate in the state of Illinois as a medical cultivator and medical product manufacturer. Phoenix Farms of Illinois, LLC d/b/a Phoenix Botanical d/b/a Sunnyside (“Phoenix Farms”), PDI Medical III, LLC d/b/a PDI Medical d/b/a Sunnyside (“PDI”), FloraMedex LLC d/b/a Sunnyside (“FloraMedex”), MedMar Lakeview d/b/a Sunnyside, and MedMar Rockford d/b/a Sunnyside, are licensed to operate retail dispensaries in the State of Illinois. The Table below lists the licenses issued to Cresco, Phoenix Farms, PDI, FloraMedex, MedMar Lakeview, and MedMar Rockford in respect of its operations in Illinois. Under applicable laws, the licenses permit Cresco, Phoenix Farms, PDI, FloraMedex, MedMar Lakeview and MedMar Rockford to cultivate, manufacture, process, package, sell, and purchase (as applicable) marijuana pursuant to the terms of the licenses, which are issued by the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation under the provisions of the Illinois Revised Statutes 410 ILCS 130. All licenses are, as of the date hereof, active with the State of Illinois. There are two categories of licenses in Illinois: (i) cultivation/processing and (ii) dispensary. The licenses are independently issued for each approved activity.

All cultivation/processing establishments must register with the Illinois Department of Agriculture. All dispensaries must register with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. If applications contain all required information, and after vetting by officers, establishments are issued a medical marijuana establishment registration certificate. Registration certificates are valid for a period of one year and are subject to annual renewals after required fees are paid and the business remains in good standing. Renewal requests are typically communicated through email from the Department of Agriculture or Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and include a renewal form.

Illinois License and Regulations

The medical retail dispensary license permits Cresco to purchase marijuana and marijuana products from cultivation/processing facilities and allows the sale of marijuana and marijuana products to registered patients. The adult use retail dispensary license permits Cresco to purchase adult use marijuana and marijuana products from cultivation/processing facilities and allows the sale of adult use marijuana and marijuana products to purchasers aged 21 or older.

 

-36-


The medical cultivation licenses permit Cresco to acquire, possess, cultivate, manufacture/process marijuana into edible medical marijuana products and/or medical marijuana-infused products, deliver, transfer, have tested, transport,

supply or sell marijuana and related supplies to medical marijuana dispensaries. The adult use cultivation licenses permit Cresco to acquire, possess, cultivate, manufacture/process adult use marijuana into edible marijuana products and/or marijuana-infused products, deliver, transfer, have tested, transport, supply or sell marijuana and related supplies to adult use marijuana dispensaries.

Illinois imposes an income surtax, equal to the amount of federal income tax levied, on any direct or indirect transfer of Illinois license permit.

Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Illinois Reporting Requirements

The State of Illinois uses BioTrack as the state’s computerized track-and-trace (“T&T”) system for seed-to-sale. Individual licensees whether directly or through third-party integration systems are required to push data to the state to meet all reporting requirements. Cresco uses the commercial version of BioTrack as its in-house computerized seed to sale software, which integrates with the state’s BioTrack program and captures the required data points for cultivation, manufacturing and retail as required in the Illinois Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act. In February 2019, BioTrackTHC, a subsidiary of Helix TCS Inc., announced that it was requested by the State of Illinois to provide the software solution that will track medical cannabis sales for patients participating in the state’s Opioid Alternative Pilot Program. BioTrackTHC is already responsible for tracking and tracing the state’s medical cannabis supply chain, and its software now provides a unified solution for these programs.

Illinois Storage and Security Requirements

As to its cultivation facilities, the regulations require Cresco to store marijuana and marijuana infused products in a safe, vault or secured room in such a manner to prevent diversion, theft or loss. Any marijuana that is not a finished product must likewise be maintained in a secured area within the facility only accessible to authorized personnel. All locks and security equipment safeguarding the marijuana must be kept in good working order, and the storage areas must be locked and protected from unauthorized access at all times.

The cultivation facilities must also have an operational 24-hour, seven days a week, closed circuit television surveillance system on the premises that complies with certain regulatory minimum standards. Access to the surveillance area is restricted to only those people who are essential to surveillance operations, law enforcement agencies, security system service personnel and the regulator. In addition, video surveillance recordings shall be retained for 90 days at the facilities and an additional 90 days off site.

Cresco must also maintain an alarm system at its cultivation facilities. The cultivation facilities must maintain and use a professionally monitored robbery and burglary alarm system that meets certain regulatory minimum standards. A qualified alarm system vendor must test the system annually.    

With respect to its Illinois dispensaries, Cresco must store inventory on site in a secured and restricted access area consistent with the security regulations and tracked in accordance with the inventory tracking regulations. Any containers storing medical marijuana that have been tampered with or opened must be stored separately until disposed; such materials can only be stored at the dispensary for one week.    

The dispensaries must also implement security measures to deter and prevent entry into and theft from restricted access areas that contain marijuana and/or currency, including having a commercial grade alarm and surveillance system installed by an Illinois licensed private alarm contractor or private alarm contractor agency. The facility must also have security measures to protect the premises, registered qualifying patients, designated caregivers and dispensing organization agents.

Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania Regulatory Landscape

The Pennsylvania medical marijuana program was signed into law on April 17, 2016 under Act 16 and provided access to state residents with one of 17 qualifying conditions, including epilepsy, chronic pain, and PTSD. The state operates as a high-barrier market with very limited market participation. Retail sales opened in February 2018 to a limited number of retail locations across the state. Pennsylvania is the fifth-largest state in the country, home to nearly 13 million people. Pennsylvania’s medical marijuana market is expected to become one of the biggest markets in the U.S.28

The state originally awarded only 12 licenses to grow/process and 27 licenses to operate retail dispensaries (which entitled holders to up to three medical dispensary locations). Cresco Yeltrah, LLC (“Cresco Yeltrah”), a subsidiary of Cresco, was awarded one medical cannabis grow and processing license and one dispensary license in Pennsylvania (allowing for three (3) dispensary locations in Pennsylvania). Cresco subsequently obtained an additional dispensary license in December 2018 for three (3) additional dispensary locations, for a total of six (6) in the state of Pennsylvania, three of which are currently operational.

Retail sales opened in February 2018 to a limited number of retail locations across the state. Cresco Yeltrah, on February 15, was the first cultivator/processor to release product into Pennsylvania market (approximately 6 weeks ahead of any other producer) and its dispensary was the first to sell product to patients in the state.

On March 22, 2018, it was announced that the final phase of the Pennsylvania medical marijuana program would initiate its rollout, which will include 13 additional grow/processing licenses and 23 additional dispensary licenses. The application period ran from April 2018 through May 17, 2018. Cresco Yeltrah obtained an additional dispensary license which will amount for three (3) additional dispensaries.

It was announced on April 17, 2018 that dry flower would be included in the regulations as an approved product form for sale and consumption (in addition to the already approved forms of concentrates, pills, and tinctures). Simultaneously, it was announced that the list of qualifying conditions would expand from 17 to 21, including additions of cancer remission therapy and opioid-addiction therapy.

Pennsylvania Licenses

Cresco Yeltrah is licensed to operate in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as a medical cannabis grower/processor and to operate six (6) medical cannabis dispensaries, three (3) of which are currently operational. After winning its initial licenses in the state in 2017, in December 2018, Cresco Yeltrah was awarded a second merit-based license for dispensary operations in Pennsylvania. The permit allows Cresco Yeltrah six months in which to become operational before it can begin dispensing medical marijuana and has been extended administratively by the Department of Health as Cresco Yeltrah continues to build out these facilities. Cresco Yeltrah is licensed for three (3) additional medical cannabis dispensaries under its second license. The table below lists the licenses issued to Cresco Yeltrah in respect of its operations in Pennsylvania. Under applicable laws, the licenses permit Cresco Yeltrah to cultivate, manufacture, process, package, sell, and purchase medical marijuana pursuant to the terms of the licenses, which are issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Health under the provisions of Medical Marijuana Act (35 P.S. § § 10231.101— 10231.2110) and Chapters 1141, 1151 and 1161 of the Pennsylvania regulations. All licenses are, as of the date hereof, active with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. There are two categories of licenses in Pennsylvania: (i) cultivation/processing; and (ii) dispensary. The licenses are independently issued for each approved activity for use at Cresco Yeltrah facilities in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania Reporting Requirements

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania uses MJ Freeway as the state’s computerized T&T system for seed-to-sale. Individual licensees are required to use MJ Freeway to push data to the state to meet all reporting requirements. Cresco Yeltrah uses MJ Freeway as its in-house computerized seed to sale software, which integrates with the state’s MJ Freeway program and captures the required data points for cultivation, manufacturing and retail as required in the Pennsylvania medical marijuana laws and regulations.

Pennsylvania Storage and Security

The regulations require the maintenance of storage areas at Cresco Yeltrah’s grower/processor location in a clean and orderly condition, free from infestation. These separate and locked limited access areas are used for the grower/processor to store seeds, immature plants, mature plants and medical marijuana that is expired, damaged, deteriorated, mislabeled, contaminated, recalled or whose containers or packages have been opened or breached until such product is destroyed or otherwise disposed of.    

The regulations also require Cresco Yeltrah’s grower/processor facility to have a commercial grade security system to prevent unauthorized entry and to prevent and detect any attempted diversion. This security must include an alarm system that covers the interior and exterior of the facility, including a silent alarm.

A dispensary must also have a locked limited access area for the storage of medical marijuana that is expired, damaged, deteriorated, mislabeled, contaminated, recalled or whose containers or packages have been opened or breached until such product is returned to the grower/processor.    

Cresco Yeltrah’s dispensaries must have a security system with the same features as that for the grower/processor facility. This system must be professionally monitored 24-hours a day and seven days a week with fixed cameras on the interior and exterior of the facilities. The surveillance system must store data for a period of four years in a readily available format for investigative purposes.

Ohio

Ohio Regulatory Landscape

House Bill 523, effective on September 8, 2016, legalized medical marijuana in Ohio. The Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program (“MMCP”) allows people with certain medical conditions, upon the recommendation of an Ohio-licensed physician certified by the State Medical Board, to purchase and use medical marijuana. Ohio’s medical cannabis sales are projected to be between $200 and $400 million once the system is fully matured.29 According to industry experts, Ohio could become a national “powerhouse” for the medical marijuana industry, largely because of its population — it’s the seventh largest state — and because the broad list of conditions eligible for treatment with medical marijuana includes “pain.30 House Bill 523 required that the framework for the MMCP will be in place no later than September 2018. This timeframe allowed for a deliberate process to ensure the safety of the public and to promote access to a safe product. The first medical marijuana sales were on January 16, 2019. Cresco Labs Ohio, LLC was one of four (4) dispensaries open on the first day.

The three following state government agencies are responsible for the operation of Ohio’s Medical Marijuana Control Program: (i) the Ohio Department of Commerce is responsible for overseeing medical marijuana cultivators, processors and testing laboratories; (ii) the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy is responsible for overseeing medical marijuana retail dispensaries, the registration of medical marijuana patients and caregivers, the approval of new forms

of medical marijuana and coordinating the Medical Marijuana Advisory Committee; and (iii) the State Medical Board of Ohio is responsible for certifying physicians to recommend medical marijuana and may add to the list of qualifying conditions for which medical marijuana can be recommended. Qualifying medical conditions for medical marijuana include: HIV/AIDS, Lou Gehrig’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, Crohn’s disease, epilepsy or other seizure disorder, fibromyalgia, glaucoma, hepatitis C, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), pain (either chronic, severe, or intractable), Parkinson’s disease, PTSD, sickle cell anemia, spinal cord disease or injury, tourette’s syndrome, traumatic brain injury and ulcerative colitis. In order for a patient to be eligible to obtain medical marijuana, a physician must make the diagnosis of one of these conditions.

Several forms of medical marijuana are legal in Ohio, these include: inhalation of marijuana through a vaporizer (not direct smoking), oils, tinctures, plant material, edibles, patches and any other forms approved by the State Board of Pharmacy.

Cresco entered into a sale and leaseback transaction related to its Ohio operations. See the “Significant Events or Milestones” section, above, for greater detail.

Ohio Licenses

On June 4, 2018, the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy awarded 56 medical marijuana provisional dispensary licenses. The licenses were awarded after a review of 376 submitted dispensary applications.

Provisional licensees are authorized to begin the process of establishing a dispensary in accordance with the representations in their applications and the rules adopted by the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy. Per rule, all provisional license holders have a maximum of six months to demonstrate compliance with the dispensary operational requirements to obtain a certificate of operation (a “Certificate of Operation”). Compliance will be determined through an inspection by a Board of Medical Marijuana Compliance Agent. Once a dispensary is awarded a Certificate of Operation, it can begin selling medical marijuana to Ohio patients and caregivers in accordance with Ohio laws and rules.

By rule, the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy is limited to issuing up to 60 dispensary licenses across the state, but will have the authority to increase the number of licenses after September 8, 2018. To date, no announcement has been made if the number of licenses will be increased. Per the program rules, the board will consider, on at least a biennial basis, whether enough medical marijuana dispensaries exist, considering the state population, the number of patients seeking to use medical marijuana, and the geographic distribution of dispensary sites.

Cresco Labs Ohio, LLC (“Cresco Ohio”), a subsidiary of Cresco, was awarded one provisional dispensary license on June 7, 2018. A provisional license serves as authorization from the board for Cresco Ohio to begin the construction or modification of your facility and to secure any other applicable permits you may need from your local jurisdiction in order to receive a Certificate of Operation. In December 2018, Cresco Ohio received approval to operate a medial dispensary in the Ohio. The dispensary is located in Winterville, Ohio and commenced operations on January 16, 2019 under the name “CY+”.

Cresco Ohio applied for and on November 30, 2017 received one provisional cultivation license. Cresco Ohio’s cultivation facility is a hybrid greenhouse structure located in Yellow Springs, Ohio and is currently comprised of approximately 25,000 square feet of cultivation space. This facility is currently undergoing an expansion which, when completed, would increase the cultivation space to a total of approximately 50,000 square feet.31 All of the 50,000 square feet will be used for cultivation.

A holder of a provisional cultivation license is prohibited from operating as a licensed cultivator and performing any cultivation or production activities, including the procurement of seeds, seedlings, or other starting plant material until a Certificate of Operation is issued by the Ohio Department of Commerce. This provisional license serves as

authorization from the Ohio Department of Commerce for Cresco Ohio to begin the construction or modification of the facility and to secure any other applicable permits needed from local jurisdictions in order to receive a Certificate of Operation. Pursuant to Ohio Administrative Code s. 3796:2-1-06(B), a provisional license holder has nine months to obtain a Certificate of Operation. On September 14, 2018, Cresco Ohio received its Certificate of Operation.

Ohio License and Regulations

The dispensary license permits Cresco Ohio to purchase marijuana and marijuana products from cultivation and/or processing facilities, and allows the sale of marijuana and marijuana products to registered patients.

The medical cultivation licenses permit Cresco Ohio to acquire, possess, cultivate, manufacture/process into medical marijuana products, deliver, transfer, have tested, transport, supply or sell marijuana and related supplies to medical marijuana dispensaries.

A medical processor license allows for the manufacturing and production of medical marijuana products. Cresco Ohio submitted an application for a processor license, which was denied. Cresco Ohio is currently appealing this decision.

Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Ohio Reporting Requirements

Ohio uses METRC as its seed-to-sale tracking system. Licensees are required to use METRC in Ohio to push data to the state to meet all of the reporting requirements. Cresco Ohio integrates its in-house seed-to-sale tracking system (BioTrack) with METRC to capture the required data points as required in the Ohio medical marijuana laws and regulations.

Ohio Storage and Security Requirements

For Cresco Ohio’s dispensaries, a designated representative is responsible for providing supervision and control of medical marijuana and medical marijuana products to ensure that they are dispensed in accordance with the law and regulations. In addition, the dispensaries must have physical or electronic security over such items. In particular, Cresco Ohio’s dispensaries must also maintain security (with alarms and surveillance equipment) as required by the

regulations to prevent diversion and theft, as well as to protect patients, caregivers and employees. The dispensary department, restricted access areas and stock of medical marijuana must be secured by a physical barrier with suitable locks and an electronic barrier. Medical marijuana must also be stored in a secure area and tracked in the inventory tracking system. No person is permitted in this secure area unless under the personal supervision of a licensed dispensary employee. The storage area must be clean and free of infestation. Containers storing expired, damaged, deteriorated, misbranded, adulterated or opened medical marijuana shall be separated from other medical marijuana until they are properly destroyed; these materials can only be stored for one week.

The regulations permit Cresco Ohio to store medical marijuana inventory at its cultivation facility in a designated, enclosed, locked facility identified in Cresco Ohio’s plans and specifications that it submitted to the Ohio Department of Commerce. This storage area can only be accessible by authorized individuals. On an annual basis and as a condition to renewal of its cultivator license, Cresco Ohio must perform a physical, manual inventory, of the medical marijuana on hand and compare it to the annual report generated by the inventory tracking system. The cultivation facility must install a commercial grade security alarm system to prevent and detect diversion, theft, or loss. The facility also must maintain surveillance equipment to capture the entire facility and provide direct access to the regulator on a real-time basis. All of this equipment must be kept in good working order and inspected and tested on an annual basis by a third party.

California

California Regulatory Landscape

In 1996, California was the first state to legalize medical marijuana through Proposition 215, the Compassionate Use Act of 1996. This legalized the use, possession and cultivation of medical marijuana by patients with a physician recommendation for treatment of cancer, anorexia, AIDS, chronic pain, spasticity, glaucoma, arthritis, migraine, or any other illness for which marijuana provides relief.

In 2003, Senate Bill 420 was signed into law establishing an optional identification card system for medical marijuana patients.

In September 2015, the California legislature passed three bills collectively known as the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“MCRSA”). The MCRSA established a licensing and regulatory framework for medical marijuana businesses in California. The system created multiple license types for dispensaries, infused products manufacturers, cultivation facilities, testing laboratories, transportation companies, and distributors. Edible infused product manufacturers would require either volatile solvent or non-volatile solvent manufacturing licenses depending on their specific extraction methodology. Multiple agencies would oversee different aspects of the program and businesses would require a state license and local approval to operate. However, in November 2016, voters in California overwhelmingly passed Proposition 64, the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (“AUMA”) creating an adult-use marijuana program for adult-use 21 years of age or older. AUMA had some conflicting provisions with MCRSA, so in June 2017, the California State Legislature passed Senate Bill No. 94, known as Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“MAUCRSA”), which amalgamates MCRSA and AUMA to provide a set of regulations to govern medical and adult-use licensing regime for cannabis businesses in the State of California. The four agencies that regulate marijuana at the state level are the California Bureau of Cannabis Control (the “BCC”), California Department of Food and Agriculture, California Department of Public Health, and California Department of Tax and Fee Administration.

In order to legally operate a medical or adult-use cannabis business in California, the operator must have both a local and state license. This requires license holders to operate in cities with marijuana licensing programs. Therefore, cities in California are allowed to determine the number of licenses they will issue to marijuana operators or can choose to ban marijuana outright.

MAUCRSA went into effect on January 1, 2018.

The California marijuana market is expected to be one of the fastest growing industries in California over the next five years. Market analysts forecast a stabilized market to occur after 2025 where the California marijuana market is estimated to be valued at approximately US$10 billion.33 In 2016, California recorded approximately $850 million in medical marijuana retail sales from operated dispensaries state wide; however, it is estimated approximately 85% of total transactions are unrecorded for revenue and are carried out through illegal transactions. The University of California Agricultural Issues Center predicts the illegal market to shrink to less than 30%, legal adult-use sales to increase to approximately 62%, and legal medical sales to decrease from approximately 15% to less than 10% as patients are provided with an alternative to obtaining medical marijuana physician recommendations for a fee.34

California Operations - SLO Cultivation Inc. and Origin House

On June 7, 2018, Cresco acquired a 60% ownership interest in SLO Cultivation Inc. (“SLO”). On September 27, 2018, Cresco acquired a further 20% ownership interest in SLO bringing its total ownership to 80%. Moreover, SLO wholly-owns Bolivar Distribution Services, LLC, Mandela Manufacturing Services, LLC and Mahatma Distribution Services, LLC (the “Cal Subsidiaries”). SLO operates a marijuana cultivation operation in the cities of Carpinteria (Santa Barbara County) and San Luis Obispo (San Luis Obispo County) California. The cultivation facility has a capacity of up to 600,000 square feet of greenhouse production space. As a result of Cresco’s acquisition, Cresco has essentially complete management and operational control (except for certain farm-specific functions that remain under the supervised management of SLO). The cannabis will initially be cultivated from the Carpinteria facilities. From there, the harvest will ultimately be transported as fresh (or fresh frozen) material to our manufacturing facilities in Mendota (Fresno County) California. Although the facilities at Mendota recently started operations35, Cresco will continue to have its harvested product converted into cannabis-related products through certain third-party contractors. Though Cresco contemplates having its own annual distribution license by the end of this year, distribution into the southern California and northern California markets will be undertaken by certain third-party contractors. These contract distributors will deliver the Cresco cannabis-related products directly to retail dispensaries for sale to the public.

While the facility in Santa Barbara was initially limited to medical cannabis activities only by local ordinance, in October 2018, the County of Santa Barbara ratified its ordinance to allow for “commercial” cannabis, which includes both medical and recreational cannabis under California state law.

On January 8, 2020, the Company announced the closing of its acquisition of Origin House. See the “General

Development of the Business – Acquisitions and Dispositions – Origin House” section, above, for greater detail. Origin House operates as the leading California cannabis wholesale distribution and cultivation operator. The acquisition of Origin House makes Cresco a leading wholesale distributor in California, selling into over 575 dispensaries, representing approximately 65% of California’s storefront dispensaries. Origin House’s Continuum distribution platform distributes thirteen (13) third party brands, including Kings Garden. Origin House’s 92,000 square feet of ultra-premium indoor cultivation and production facilities is expected to allow Cresco to expand its offering of Cresco branded products across California rapidly; growing market share, generating brand equity, and driving shareholder value.

Licenses in the State of California

Pursuant to MAUCRSA, as set out herein, SLO will be applying for and/or has been granted licenses permitting it to cultivate, process, manufacture, distribute and retail medical (and in some instances, adult use) cannabis and cannabis-related products:

California state and local licenses are renewed annually. Each year, licensees are required to submit a renewal application per guidelines published by the corresponding regulatory agency. While renewals are annual, there is no limit to the number of renewals a licensee may obtain. Additionally, with respect of the renewal process for the licenses issued to SLO, the Cal Subsidiaries and Origin House, each state and local license is submitted for renewal in a timely manner as required by applicable law. Further, no California cannabis regulatory body has notified Cresco Labs, SLO, the Cal Subsidiaries or Origin House of any material adverse issues with license renewal requests. While Origin House, SLO’s and the Cal Subsidiaries’ compliance controls have been developed to mitigate the risk of any material violations of a license arising, there is no assurance that the licenses will be renewed in the future in a timely manner.

Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations of the Company and could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

California License and Regulations

A Medicinal Retailer licenses permits the sale of medicinal cannabis and cannabis products by a medicinal cannabis patient in California who possesses a physician’s recommendation. Only certified physicians may provide medicinal marijuana recommendations.

An Adult-Use Retailer license permits the sale of cannabis and cannabis products to any individual 21 years of age or older. It does not require the individual to possess a physician’s recommendation. Under the terms of such licenses, the holder is permitted to sell adult-use cannabis and cannabis products to any person, provided the local jurisdiction permits the sale of adult use cannabis and the person presents a valid government- issued photo identification.

The Medicinal Cultivation licenses that have been granted to SLO, Origin House and/or the Cal Subsidiaries permits commercial cannabis cultivation activity involving the planting, growing, harvesting, drying, curing, grading or trimming of cannabis. Such licenses further permit the production, labeling and packaging of a limited number of non-manufactured cannabis products (e.g., pre-rolled joints) and permit the licensee to sell cannabis to certain licensed entities (both Medical and Adult-Use licensees) within the State of California for resale or manufacturing purposes.

Adult-Use and Medicinal Distribution licenses permit cannabis related distribution activity, which means the procurement, sale, and transportation of cannabis and cannabis products between licensed entities. Distribution activity is permissible to and from certain Cresco owned and non-Cresco owned licensees.

Cresco maintains an open and collaborative relationship with the each of the four California regulatory agencies: the BCC, Manufactured Cannabis Safety Branch of the California Department of Public Heath, the CalCannabis Licensing Division of the California Department of Food and Agriculture and the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, as well as the local jurisdiction’s cannabis regulatory agencies.

Cresco and Origin House submit timely annual renewals and are in the process of submitting renewals for all 27 applications in the normal course.

 

-49-


In the State of California, only cannabis that is grown in the state can be sold in the state. Although California is not a vertically integrated system, the state also allows SLO and the Cal Subsidiaries to make wholesale purchase of cannabis from, or a distribution of cannabis and cannabis product to, another licensed entity within the state.

California Reporting Requirements

The State of California has selected Franwell Inc.’s METRC solution as the state’s T&T system used to track commercial cannabis activity and movement across the distribution chain (“seed-to-sale”). The METRC system is in the process of being implemented state-wide but has not yet been released. When operational, the system will allow for other third-party system integration via application programming interface (“API”). Cresco will utilize an electronic system independent of METRC that will integrate with METRC via API. T&T currently captures required data points for cultivation, distribution and retail as stipulated in the corresponding regulatory agencies’ regulations. Cresco will implement its own interim track-and-trace solution, leveraging its own internal controls and standard operating procedures, ensuring maximum compliance and transparency, until the statewide T&T solution is ready to be deployed.

California Storage and Security

To ensure the safety and security of cannabis business premises and to maintain adequate controls against the diversion, theft, and loss of cannabis or cannabis products, Cresco is required to do the following:

 

   

maintain a fully operational security alarm system;

 

   

contract for security guard services;

 

   

maintain a video surveillance system that records continuously 24 hours a day;

 

   

ensure that the facility’s outdoor premises have sufficient lighting;

 

   

not dispense from its premises outside of permissible hours of operation;

 

   

store cannabis and cannabis product only in areas per the premises diagram submitted to the State of California during the licensing process;

 

   

store all cannabis and cannabis products in a secured, locked room or a vault;

 

   

report to local law enforcement within 24 hours after being notified or becoming aware of the theft, diversion, or loss of cannabis; and

 

   

to ensure the safe transport of cannabis and cannabis products between licensed facilities, maintain a delivery manifest in any vehicle transporting cannabis and cannabis products. Only vehicles registered with the BCC, that meet BCC distribution requirements, are to be used to transport cannabis and cannabis products.

Nevada Regulatory Landscape

Nevada is one of the most dynamic markets anticipated for the full development of the recreational market. By certain estimates, the recreational market in Nevada is projected to have a cumulative average growth rate of 25%.36 With most of the state population and tourism located in Las Vegas, the opportunity in Las Vegas is strengthened by the

fact that Las Vegas has a limited number of licenses and the city of Las Vegas has placed a priority for current license holders to be preferred in obtaining other non-operating retail licenses. The City of Las Vegas has historically seen nearly forty million tourists in a year, making it one of the most visited cities in the United States. Industry estimates put the overall cannabis market size in Las Vegas to be over $800 million per year.37

Medical marijuana use was legalized in Nevada by a ballot initiative in 2000. In November 2016, voters in Nevada passed an adult use marijuana measure to allow for the sale of recreational marijuana in the state. The first dispensaries to sell adult use marijuana began sales in July 2017. The Nevada Department of Taxation (“DOT”) is the regulatory agency overseeing the medical and adult use cannabis programs. Similar to California, cities and counties in Nevada are allowed to determine the number of local marijuana licenses they will issue.

Cresco Labs Nevada, LLC, a subsidiary of Cresco, acquired an approximately 1.2% equity ownership interest in Lighthouse Strategies, LLC (“Lighthouse”) via a Unit Purchase and Sales Agreement dated August 12, 2019. Nevada Business Services Group (“NBSG”) is a subsidiary of Lighthouse and is the sole owner of Paradise Wellness Center, LLC (“Paradise Wellness”) d/b/a Las Vegas Releaf and Silver State Wellness, LLC (“Silver State”), entities licensed to operate in the State of Nevada.

Nevada Licenses

NBSG is licensed to operate in the State of Nevada as a medical dispensary and retail dispensary. Silver State is licensed to operate in the State of Nevada as a cultivator. Under applicable laws, the licenses permit the applicable entities to cultivate, manufacture/process, package, sell or purchase pursuant to the terms of the license, which is issued by the DOT under the provisions of Nevada Revised Statutes section 453A. All Nevada Licenses are, as of the date hereof, active with the State of Nevada. All licenses are independently issued for each approved activity for use at Paradise Wellness and Silver State facilities and retail location in Nevada. Silver State is currently building a 36,000 sq/ft cultivation space.38 Paradise Wellness currently operates an approximately 12,000 sq/ft processing center and dispensary called “Releaf” located one block from the Las Vegas strip, near the SLS hotel.

All marijuana establishments must register with DOT. If applications contain all required information and after vetting by officers, establishments are issued a medical marijuana establishment registration certificate. In a local governmental jurisdiction that issues business licenses, the issuance by DOT of a medical marijuana establishment registration certificate is considered provisional until the local government has issued a business license for operation and the establishment is in compliance with all applicable local governmental ordinances. Final registration certificates are valid for a period of one year and are subject to annual renewals after required fees are paid and the business remains in good standing. Renewal requests are typically communicated through email from DOT and include a renewal form. The renewal periods serve as an update for DOT on the licensee’s status toward active licensure. It is important to note that provisional licenses do not permit the operation of any commercial or medical cannabis activity. Only after a provisional licensee has gone through necessary state and local inspections, if applicable, and has received a final registration certificate from DOT may an entity engage in cannabis business operation.

Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Nevada License and Regulations

In the State of Nevada, only cannabis that is grown or produced in the state by a licensed establishment may be sold in the state. Although Nevada is not a vertically integrated system, NBSG is vertically integrated and has the capabilities to cultivate, harvest, process and sell, dispense and/or deliver cannabis and cannabis products.

The retail dispensary license and registration certificate permit NBSG to purchase marijuana from cultivation facilities, marijuana and marijuana products from product manufacturing facilities and marijuana from other retail stores and allows the sale of marijuana and marijuana products to consumers.

The medical cultivation license permits NBSG to acquire, possess, cultivate, deliver, transfer, have tested, transport, supply or sell marijuana and related supplies to medical marijuana dispensaries, facilities for the production of edible medical marijuana products and/or medical marijuana-infused products, or other medical marijuana cultivation facilities.

The medical product manufacturing license permits NBSG to acquire, possess, manufacture, deliver, transfer, transport, supply, or sell edible marijuana products or marijuana infused products to other medical marijuana production facilities or medical marijuana dispensaries.

Nevada Reporting Requirements

The State of Nevada uses METRC as the state’s computerized T&T system used to track commercial cannabis activity and seed-to-sale. Individual licensees whether directly or through third-party integration systems are required to push data to the state to meet all reporting requirements. For the Nevada Licenses, Silver State will designate an in-house computerized seed to sale software that will integrate with METRC via API. The chosen seed-to-sale system captures the required data points for cultivation, manufacturing and retail as required in Nevada Revised Statutes section 453A. For the operating dispensary, Silver State currently uses BioTrackTHC’s seed-to-sale solution and anticipates full integration of processes through METRC.

Storage and Security

To ensure the safety and security of cannabis business premises and to maintain adequate controls against the diversion, theft, and loss of cannabis or cannabis products, Paradise Wellness and Silver State are required to do the following:

 

   

be an enclosed, locked facility;

 

   

have a single secure entrance;

 

   

train employees in security measures and controls, emergency response protocol, confidentiality requirements, safe handling of equipment, procedures for handling products, as well as the differences in strains, methods of consumption, methods of cultivation, methods of fertilization and methods for health monitoring;

Arizona

Arizona Regulatory Landscape

In 2010, Arizona passed Ballot Proposition 203, which amended Title 36 to the Arizona Revised Statutes (“ARS”). This amendment added Chapter 28.1, titled the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act (the “AMMA”). The AMMA also appointed the Arizona Department of Health Services (the “ADHS”) as the regulator for the program and authorized ADHS to promulgate, adopt and enforce regulations for the AMMA. The ADHS has established the Arizona Department of Health Services Medical Marijuana Program (“MMJ Program”), which includes a vertically integrated license, meaning if allocated a Medical Marijuana Dispensary Registration Certificate (“AZ Dispensary License”), entities are authorized to dispense and cultivate medical cannabis. Arizona’s medical marijuana market is one of the largest in the nation as well as one of the hottest. The amount of medical marijuana sold has more than doubled from 5,012 pounds in August 2016 to 10,826 pounds in August 2018, according to the ADHS. The patient count during that period has surged from 105,076 to 178,257.39

The ADHS Regulations are embodied in the Arizona Administrative Code Title 9 Chapter 17 (the “Rules”). ARS § 36-2801(11) defines a ‘‘nonprofit medical cannabis dispensary’’ as a not-for-profit entity that acquires, possesses, cultivates, manufactures, delivers, transfers, transports, supplies, sells or dispenses cannabis or related supplies and educational materials to cardholders.

The ADHS has established the MMJ Program, which includes a vertically integrated license, meaning if allocated an AZ Dispensary License, entities are authorized to dispense and cultivate medical cannabis. Each AZ Dispensary License allows the holding entity to operate one on-site cultivation facility, and one off-site cultivation facility which can be located anywhere within the State of Arizona. An entity holding an AZ Dispensary License is required to file an application to renew with the ADHS on an annual basis, which must also include audited annual financial statements. While an AZ Dispensary License may not be sold, transferred or otherwise conveyed, AZ Dispensary License holders typically contract with third parties to provide various services related to the ongoing operation, maintenance and governance of its dispensary and/or cultivation facility so long as such contracts do not violate the requirements of the AMMA or the MMJ Program.

The ADHS has established a registration application system for patients and nonprofit marijuana dispensaries, as well as a web-based verification platform for use by law enforcement officials and dispensaries to verify a patient’s status as such. The ADHS also specified patients’ rights, qualifying medical conditions, and allowed out-of-state medical marijuana patients to maintain their patient status (though not to purchase cannabis).

On December 6, 2012, Arizona’s first licensed medical marijuana dispensary opened in Glendale.

In order to qualify to use medical marijuana under the AMMA, a patient is required to have a “debilitating medical condition”. Valid medical conditions include: HIV, cancer, glaucoma, immune deficiency syndrome, hepatitis C, Chron’s disease, agitation of Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, cachexia/wasting syndrome, muscle spasms, nausea, seizures, severe and chronic pain or another chronic or debilitating condition.

Arizona Licensing Requirements

In order for an applicant to receive a Dispensary Registration Certificate (a “Certificate”) they must: (i) fill out an application on the form proscribed by ADHS, (ii) submit the applying entity’s articles of incorporation and by-laws, (iii) submit fingerprints for each principal officer or board member of the applicant for a background check to exclude felonies, (iv) submit a business plan and policies and procedures for inventory control, security, patient education, and patient recordkeeping that are consistent with the AMMA and the Rules to ensure that the dispensary will operate in compliance and (v) designate an Arizona licensed physician as the Medical Director for the dispensary. Certificates are renewed annually so long as the dispensary is in good standing with ADHS and pays the renewal fee and submits an independent third-party financial audit.

Once an applicant has been issued a Certificate, they are allowed to establish one physical retail dispensary location, one cultivation location which is co-located at the dispensary’s retail site (if allowed by local zoning) and one additional off-site cultivation location. None of these sites can be operational, however, until the dispensary receives an approval to operate from ADHS for the applicable site. This approval to operate requires: (i) an application on the ADHS form, (ii) demonstration of compliance with local zoning regulations, (iii) a site plan and floor plan for the applicable property, and (iv) an in-person inspection by ADHS of the proposed location to ensure compliance with the Rules and consistency with the dispensary’s applicable policies and procedures.

On or about November 16, 2018, Cresco acquired 100% of the membership interests of Arizona Facilities Supply, LLC (“AFS”). AFS provides management and advisory services to Encanto Green Cross Dispensary, a non-profit entity that holds a vertical license to cultivate, process and dispense medical marijuana in the State of Arizona and operates a medical marijuana dispensary in Phoenix, Arizona, and owns real property used for cultivation in Salome, Arizona.

The Arizona license is renewed annually. Before the expiration date, licensees are required to submit a renewal application. While renewals are granted annually, there is no ultimate expiration date after which no renewals are permitted. Additionally, in respect of the renewal process, provided that the requisite renewal fees are paid, if the renewal application is submitted in a timely manner, and there are no material violations noted against the applicable license, Cresco would expect to receive the applicable renewed license in the ordinary course of business. While Cresco’s compliance controls have been developed to mitigate the risk of any material violations of a license, there is no assurance that the license will be renewed in the future in a timely manner.

Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Arizona Security Requirements for Dispensary Facilities

Any dispensary facility (both retail and cultivation) must abide by the following security requirements: (i) ensure that access to the facilities is limited to authorized agents of the dispensary who are in possession of a dispensary agent identification card; and (ii) equip the facility with: (a) intrusion alarms and surveillance equipment, (b) exterior and interior lighting to facilitate surveillance, (c) at least one 19-inch monitor for surveillance and a video capable of printing a high resolution still image, (d) high resolution video cameras at all points of sale, entrances, exits, and limited access areas, both in and around the building, (e) 30 days’ video storage, (f) failure notifications and battery backups for the security system and (g) panic buttons inside each building.

Arizona Storage Requirements

Any dispensary facility (both retail and cultivation) must abide by the following requirements for the storage of product: (i) product must be stored in an area that is separate from areas used to store toxic and flammable materials; (ii) product must be stored in a manner that is clean and sanitary; (iii) product must be protected from flies, dust, dirt, and any other contamination; and (iv) all surfaces and objects used in the handling and storage of product must be cleaned daily. Additionally, the Rules establish strict inventory protocols for tracking product from “seed to sale,” which requires all product to be traceable to the original plants used to grow the cannabis used in the product.

 

-55-


Arizona Transportation Requirements

Dispensaries may transport medical cannabis between their own sites or between their sites and another dispensary’s site and must comply with the following Rules: (i) prior to transportation, the dispensary agent must complete a trip plan showing: (a) the name of the dispensary agent in charge of transporting the cannabis, (b) the date and start time of the trip, (c) a description of the cannabis, cannabis plants, or cannabis paraphernalia being transported; and (d) the anticipated route of transportation; (ii) during transport the dispensary agent shall: (a) carry a copy of the trip plan at all times, (b) use a vehicle with no medical cannabis identification, (c) carry a cell phone, and (d) ensure that no cannabis is visible; and (iii) dispensaries must maintain trip plan records.

ADHS Inspections and Enforcement

ADHS may inspect a facility at any time upon five (5) days’ notice to the dispensary. However, if someone has alleged that the dispensary is not in compliance with the AMMA or the Rules, ADHS may conduct an unannounced inspection. ADHS will provide written notice to the dispensary of any violations found during any inspection and the dispensary then has 20 working days to take corrective action and notify ADHS.

ADHS must revoke a Certificate if a dispensary: (i) operates before obtaining approval to operate a dispensary from the ADHS; (ii) dispenses, delivers, or otherwise transfers cannabis to an entity other than another dispensary with a valid dispensary registration certificate issued by the ADHS, a qualifying patient with a valid registry identification card, or a designated caregiver with a valid registry identification card; (iii) acquires usable cannabis or mature cannabis plants from any entity other than another dispensary with a valid dispensary registration certificate issued by the ADHS, a qualifying patient with a valid registry identification card, or a designated caregiver with a valid registry identification card; or (iv) if a principal officer or board member has been convicted of an excluded felony offense.

Furthermore, ADHS may revoke a Certificate if a dispensary does not: (i) comply with the requirements of the AMMA or the Rules, or (ii) implement the policies and procedures or comply with the statements provided to the ADHS with the dispensary’s application.

New York

New York is one of the most promising medical cannabis markets that opened in 2016. The state population numbers near twenty million and New York City is among the most populous and visited cities in the U.S.40 The New York program, when initially implemented, allowed for only five fully vertically integrated licenses. The licenses allowed each license holder the opportunity to operate a cultivation facility, extraction and manufacturing, and four retail medical marijuana dispensaries. The state program was adjusted to increase the range of qualifying conditions which, as of the date hereof, includes chronic and severe pain. In August 2017, the State of New York also increased the number of licensed operators in the state to a total of ten. Each of the newly added licenses can carry out the same operations as the original license holders. The state has made progress towards the ability to increase the outreach to qualified patients through the ten licensed operators via the disbursement of retail locations across the state, the increase in range of qualifying conditions, and other various methods to support patient access. In July, the New York Department of Health filed emergency regulations to add any condition, for which an opioid could be prescribed, as a qualifying condition for medical marijuana. This legislation was signed into law on September 24, 2018. From July 10 to September 25, 2018 the number of certified patients in the system rose to 18%.41

New York Regulatory Landscape

In July 2014, the New York Legislature and Governor enacted the Compassionate Care Act (A06357E, S07923) (the “CCA”) to provide a comprehensive, safe and effective medical marijuana program to meet the needs of New Yorkers. The program allows ten (10) “Registered Organizations” to hold vertically-integrated licenses and service qualified patients and caregivers. Limited product types are allowed in the state and smoking of cannabis flower is prohibited. The NYSDOH is the regulatory agency overseeing the medical marijuana program.

New York Licenses

Valley Ag is licensed to operate as a medical marijuana cultivator, manufacturer and retailer, as a “Registered Organization”, under applicable New York jurisdictional law. Valley Ag holds five licenses, one cultivation/manufacturing license and four dispensary licenses (collectively, the “NY Licenses”), under the CCA and Medical Use of Marihuana Regulations (Title 10, Chapter XIII, Part 1004) by the NYSDOH, permitting Valley Ag to possess, cultivate, process, transport, dispense and sell medical cannabis in the State of New York. Cresco will obtain the rights to the NY Licenses following closing of its acquisition of Valley Ag’s parent entity as described in “General Development of the Business” above.

While there are individual licenses issued for each site in New York, at present there are no material assets held by Valley Ag other than the NY Licenses. Following the acquisition of Valley Ag, the Company intends to develop and invest appropriate funding to develop Valley Ag into a vertically-integrated cannabis company whereby through the licenses to operate one cultivation/manufacturing facility in Middletown and four dispensaries geographically dispersed throughout the state per the CCA (in Brooklyn, Huntington, Bardonia and New Hartford), Valley Ag will become a vertically-integrated cannabis company. Please see the table below for a list of the licenses issued to Valley Ag in New York.

The state licenses in New York are renewed every two years. Before the two-year period ends, licensees are required to submit a renewal application per guidelines published by the NYSDOH. While renewals are granted every two years, there is no ultimate expiration date after which no renewals are permitted. Additionally, in respect of the renewal process, provided that the requisite renewal fees are paid, the renewal application is submitted in a timely manner, and there are no material violations noted against the applicable license, Valley Ag would expect to receive the applicable renewed license in the ordinary course of business. While Valley Ag’s compliance controls have been developed to mitigate the risk of any material violations of a license arising, there is no assurance that Valley Ag’s licenses will be renewed in the future in a timely manner.

Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations of Valley Ag and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

New York Regulations

The NY Licenses permit the sale of medical cannabis products to any qualified patient who possesses a physician’s recommendation. Under the terms of the NY Licenses, Valley Ag is permitted to sell NYSDOH approved medical marijuana manufactured products to any qualified patient, provided that the patient presents a valid government-issued photo identification and NYSDOH-issued registry identification card proving that the patient or designated caregiver meets the statutory conditions to be a qualified patient or designated caregiver. Registry identification cards are valid for one year after the date the certification is signed. The card contains the recommendation from the physician and the limitation on form or dosage of medical marijuana.

For a physician to recommend medical marijuana, the physician must pay for and pass a NYSDOH approved physician certification training program which lasts for four hours. The content of the course includes: “pharmacology of marijuana; contraindications; side effects; adverse reactions; overdose prevention; drug interactions; dosing; routes of administration; risks and benefits; warnings and precautions; abuse and dependence; and such other components as determined by the commissioner.”

In order for a patient or registered caregiver to receive dispensed marijuana, they must be logged into the Prescription Monitoring Program (“PMP”) registry. The PMP registry is monitored by the NYSDOH and contains controlled substance prescription dispensing history and medical marijuana dispensing history to ensure that patients only receive a maximum of 30 days’ worth of dispensed product from one Registered Organization. Only registered pharmacists can dispense medical marijuana to approved patients and caregivers.

Allowable forms of medical marijuana in New York State are the following: metered liquid or oil preparations, solid and semisolid preparations (e.g. capsules, chewable and effervescent tablets, lozenges), metered ground plant preparations, topical forms and transdermal patches.

Medical marijuana may not be incorporated into food products by the Registered Organization, unless approved by the Commissioner of Health. Smoking is not an approved route of administration.

 

-58-


Qualifying conditions in the State of New York are the following: cancer, HIV infection or AIDS, ALS, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury with spasticity, epilepsy, inflammatory bowel disease, neuropathy, Huntington’s disease, PTSD or chronic pain. The severe debilitating or life-threatening condition must also be accompanied by one or more of the following associated or complicating conditions: cachexia or wasting syndrome, severe or chronic pain, severe nausea, seizures, or severe or persistent muscle spasms.

In the State of New York, only cannabis that is grown and manufactured in the state can be sold in the State. New York is a vertically integrated system however it does allow Registered Organizations to wholesale manufactured products to one another. As such, Valley Ag has the ability to be vertically integrated and cultivate, harvest, process, transport, sell and dispense cannabis products. Delivery is allowed from dispensaries to patients, however, the delivery plan must be pre-approved by the NYSDOH. As of the date hereof, Valley Ag has not submitted a delivery plan to the NYSDOH.

New York Reporting Requirements

The State of New York has selected BioTrackTHC’s solution as the state’s T&T system used to track commercial cannabis activity and seed-to-sale. The BioTrackTHC system is required to serve as all Registered Organizations’ patient verification system but is optional as the Registered Organizations’ facing tracking system. Valley Ag currently uses BioTrackTHC as its seed-to-sale tracking system but is also exploring more robust options for the future that more seamlessly integrate with its tracking systems used in other states.

Every month the NYSDOH requests a dispensing report in Excel format, via email, showing all products dispensed for the month. This is the only report Valley Ag is required to submit to the NYSDOH. All other data is pulled by the NYSDOH directly from Valley Ag’s seed-to-sale tracking system.

Storage and Security

To ensure the safety and security of cannabis business premises and to maintain adequate controls against the diversion, theft, and loss of cannabis or cannabis products, Valley Ag is required to:

 

   

Maintain a security operations plan that includes the following at a minimum:

 

   

a perimeter alarm;

 

   

motion detectors;

 

   

video cameras in all areas that may contain marijuana and at all points of entry and exit, which shall be appropriate for the normal lighting conditions of the area under surveillance. The manufacturing facility or dispensing facility shall direct cameras at all approved safes, approved vaults, dispensing areas, marijuana sales areas and any other area where marijuana is being manufactured, stored, handled, dispensed or disposed of. At entry and exit points, the manufacturing facility or dispensing facility shall angle cameras so as to allow for the capture of clear and certain identification of any person entering or exiting the facility;

 

   

24 hour recordings from all video cameras, which the manufacturing facility or dispensing facility shall make available for immediate viewing by the department or the department’s authorized representative upon request and shall be retained for at least 90 days. The registered organization shall provide the department with an unaltered copy of such recording upon request. If a registered organization is aware of a pending criminal, civil or administrative investigation or legal proceeding for which a recording may contain relevant information, the registered organization shall retain an unaltered copy of the recording until the investigation or proceeding is closed or the entity conducting the investigation or proceeding notifies the registered organization that it is not necessary to retain the recording;

Massachusetts

In November 2015, Massachusetts, a medical cannabis market since January 2013, voted in favor of “Question 4”, approving the legalization of adult use. Research firm Arcview Market Research projects that the Massachusetts market will grow to over $1 billion by 2020 at a compound annual growth rate of 113%. The Question 4 ballot initiative requiring the state legislature to authorize the adult use of cannabis in the state was approved by the Massachusetts electorate in November 2016. The first adult use dispensaries opened their doors on July 1, 2018. Located in the very populous North-Eastern region of the U.S., tourism is anticipated to be an important factor in driving market growth in a state that itself has a growing population of 6.8 million. The adjoining states represent an additional “tourist” market of 26 million, vastly exceeding the very successful industry in Colorado. The new legislation allows local control policy, allowing local government officials in towns that voted “no” on the 2016 ballot initiative to ban marijuana businesses until December 2019. For towns that voted “yes” in 2016, any bans must be placed on a local ballot for voters to approve. The maximum sales tax rate will increase from 12% to 20%. Under the bill, the state tax will be 17% and the local option will be 3%.

The Medical Use of Marijuana Program (the “MUMP”) registers qualifying patients, personal caregivers, Registered Marijuana Dispensaries (“RMD”), and RMD agents. The MUMP was established by Chapter 369 of the Acts of 2012, ‘‘An Act for the Humanitarian Medical Use of Marijuana,’’ following the passage of Ballot Question 3 in the 2012 general election. Registered Marijuana Dispensary certifications are vertically integrated licenses in that each RMD license entitles a license holder to (3) cultivation facilities, three (3) processing facilities and up to three (3) dispensary locations. There is a limit of three RMD licenses per person/entity.

Massachusetts Regulatory Framework

The Massachusetts Department regulations 105 CMR 725.000 et seq. provide a regulatory framework that requires licensed producers, which are statutorily defined as ‘‘Registered Marijuana Dispensaries’’, to cultivate, process, transport and dispense medical cannabis in a vertically integrated marketplace. Patients with debilitating medical conditions qualify to participate in the program, including conditions such as cancer, glaucoma, positive status for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), acquired immune deficiency virus (AIDS), hepatitis C, ALS, Crohn’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis (MS) when such diseases are debilitating, and other debilitating conditions as determined in writing by a qualifying patient’s healthcare provider.

Massachusetts Licensing Requirements

On December 23, 2018, administration and oversight of the Massachusetts Medical Use of Marijuana Program was transferred from the Department of Public Health (DPH) to the Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) which also oversees the adult-use cannabis program. Licensed entities must demonstrate the following: (i) they are licensed and in good standing with the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; (ii) no executive, member or any entity owned or controlled by such executive or member directly or indirectly controls more than three RMD licenses; (iii) vaporizers must be made available for sale; (iv) a RMD may not cultivate and dispense medical cannabis from more than two locations statewide; (v) all dispensary agents must be registered with the Massachusetts Department; (vi) a RMD must have a program to provide reduced cost or free marijuana to patients with documented verifiable financial hardships; (vii) one executive of a RMD must register with the Massachusetts Department of Criminal Justice Information Services on behalf of the entity as an organization user of the Criminal Offender Record Information (iCORI) system; (viii) the RMD applicant has at least US$500,000 in its control as evidenced by bank statements, lines of credit or equivalent; and (ix) payment of the required application fee. In a RMD application, an applicant must also demonstrate or include: (i) the name, address date of birth and resumes of each executive of the applicant and of the members of the entity; (ii) proof of liability insurance coverage in compliance with statutes; (iii) a detailed summary of the business plan for the RMD; (iv) an operational plan for the cultivation of marijuana including a detailed summary of all policies and procedures; and (v) a detailed summary of the operating policies and procedures for the operations of the RMD including security, prevention of diversion, storage of marijuana, transportation of marijuana, inventory procedures, procedures for quality control and testing of product for potential contaminants, procedures for maintaining confidentiality as required by law, personnel policies, dispensing procedures, record keeping procedures, plans for patient education and any plans for patient or personal caregiver home delivery. A RMD applicant must also demonstrate that it has (i) a successful track record of running a business; (ii) a history of providing healthcare services or services providing marijuana for medical purposes in or outside of Massachusetts; (iii) proof of compliance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; (iv) complied with all laws and orders of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; and (v) a satisfactory criminal and civil background. Upon the determination by the Massachusetts Department that a RMD applicant has responded to the application requirements in a satisfactory fashion, the RMD applicant is required to pay the applicable registration fee and shall be issued a provisional certificate of registration. Thereafter, the Massachusetts Department shall review architectural plans for the building of the RMD’s cultivation facility and/or dispensing facilities, and shall either approve, modify or deny the same. Once approved, the RMD provisional license holder shall construct its facilities in conformance with the requirements of the Massachusetts Regulations. Once the Massachusetts Department completes all inspections and issues approval for a RMD of its facilities, the Massachusetts Department shall issue a final certificate of registration to the RMD applicant. RMD final certificates of registration are valid for one year and shall be renewed by filing the required renewal application no later than sixty days prior to the expiration of the certificate of registration.

Massachusetts Licenses

As described in the “General Development of the Business – Acquisitions and Dispositions – Hope Heal Health” above, Cresco recently acquired HHH. HHH holds a final certificate of registration from the Massachusetts Department that will allow for cultivation, manufacturing and processing and the establishment and operation of a medical cannabis dispensary in Fall River, Massachusetts once a final certificate of registration is granted, and has the ability to apply for up to two additional such licenses. HHH has entered into host community agreements with the municipalities of Rockland, North Attleborough, and Fall River to allow for the siting of a medical cannabis dispensary, subject to site approval, and is in the process of applying for adult-use licenses from the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission.

Before the expiration date, licensees are required to submit a renewal application. While renewals are granted annually, there is no ultimate expiration date after which no renewals are permitted. Additionally, in respect of the renewal process, provided that the requisite renewal fees are paid, the renewal application is submitted in a timely manner, and there are no material violations noted against the applicable license, Cresco would expect to receive the applicable renewed license in the ordinary course of business. While Cresco’s compliance controls have been developed to mitigate the risk of any material violations of a license arising, there is no assurance that licenses will be renewed in the future in a timely manner.

Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Massachusetts Dispensary Requirements

A RMD shall follow its written and approved operation procedures in the operation of its dispensary locations. Operating procedures shall include (i) security measures in compliance with the Massachusetts Regulations; (ii) employee security policies including personal safety and crime prevention techniques; (iii) hours of operation and after-hours contact information; (iv) a price list for marijuana; (v) storage protocols in compliance with state law; (vi) a description of the various strains of marijuana that will be cultivated and dispensed, and the forms that will be dispensed; (vii) procedures to ensure accurate recordkeeping including inventory protocols; (viii) plans for quality control; (ix) a staffing plan and staffing records; (x) diversion identification and reporting protocols; and (xi) policies and procedures for the handling of cash on RMD premises including storage, collection frequency and transport to financial institutions. The siting of dispensary locations is expressly subject to local/municipal approvals pursuant to state law, and municipalities control the permitting application process that a RMD must comply with. More specifically, a RMD shall comply with all local requirements regarding siting, provided, however, that if no local requirements exist, a RMD shall not be sited within a radius of five hundred feet of a school, daycare center, or any facility in which children commonly congregate. The 500-foot distance under this section is measured in a straight line from the nearest point of the facility in question to the nearest point of the proposed RMD. There is no specified numeric maximum amount that a RMD may have on its premises. The Massachusetts Regulations require that RMDs must limit their inventory of seeds, plants, and useable marijuana to reflect the projected needs of registered qualifying patients. A RMD shall only dispense to a registered qualifying patient who has a current valid certification.

 

-64-


Massachusetts Security Requirements

A RMD shall implement sufficient security measures to deter and prevent unauthorized entrance into areas containing marijuana and theft of marijuana at the RMD. These measures must include: (i) allowing only registered qualifying patients, caregivers, dispensary agents, authorized persons, or approved outside contractors access to the RMD facility; (ii) preventing individuals from remaining on the premises of a RMD if they are not engaging in activities that are permitted; (iii) disposing of marijuana or byproducts in compliance with law; (iv) establishing limited access areas accessible only to authorized personnel; (v) storing all finished marijuana in a secure locked safe or vault; (vi) keeping all equipment, safes, vaults or secured areas securely locked at all times; (vii) ensuring that the outside perimeter of the RMD is sufficiently lit to facilitate surveillance; and (viii) ensuring that all landscaping or foliage outside of the RMD does not allow a person to conceal themselves.

The video surveillance system shall have the capacity to remain operational during a power outage. The RMD shall also maintain a backup alarm system with all of the capabilities of the primary system, and both systems shall be in good working order at all times and shall be inspected and tested on regular intervals.

Massachusetts Transportation

Marijuana or marijuana-infused products (“MIPs”) may only be transported by dispensary agents on behalf of a RMD: (i) between separately-owned RMDs in compliance with 725.105(B)(2) of the Massachusetts Regulations; (ii) between RMD sites owned by the same non-profit entity; (iii) between a RMD and a testing laboratory; (iv) from the RMD to the destruction or disposal site; or (v) from a RMD to the primary residences of registered qualifying patients. A RMD shall staff all transport vehicles with a minimum of two dispensary agents. At least one dispensary agent shall remain with the vehicle at all times that the vehicle contains marijuana or MIPs. Prior to leaving the origination location, a RMD must weigh, inventory, and account for, on video, all marijuana to be transported.

Marijuana must be packaged in sealed, labeled, and tamper-proof packaging prior to and during transportation. In the case of an emergency stop, a log must be maintained describing the reason for the stop, the duration, the location, and any activities of personnel exiting the vehicle. A RMD shall ensure that all delivery times and routes are randomized. Each dispensary agent shall carry his or her Massachusetts department-issued MUMP ID card at all times when transporting marijuana or MIPs and shall produce it to Massachusetts Department representatives or law enforcement officials upon request. Where videotaping is required when weighing, inventorying, and accounting of marijuana before transportation or after receipt, the video must show each product being weighed, the weight, and the manifest. A RMD must document and report any unusual discrepancy in weight or inventory to the Massachusetts Department and local law enforcement within 24 hours. A RMD shall report to the Massachusetts Department and local law enforcement any vehicle accidents, diversions, losses, or other reportable incidents that occur during transport, within 24 hours. A RMD shall retain all transportation manifests for no less than one year and make them available to the Massachusetts Department upon request. Any cash received from a qualifying patient or personal caregiver must be transported to a RMD immediately upon completion of the scheduled deliveries. Vehicles used in transportation must be owned, leased or rented by the RMD, be properly registered, and contain a GPS system that is monitored by the RMD during transport of marijuana and said vehicle must be inspected and approved by the Massachusetts Department prior to use.

During transit, a RMD shall ensure that: (i) marijuana or MIPs are transported in a secure, locked storage compartment that is part of the vehicle transporting the marijuana or MIPs; (ii) the storage compartment cannot be easily removed (for example, bolts, fittings, straps or other types of fasteners may not be easily accessible and not capable of being manipulated with commonly available tools); (iii) marijuana or MIPs are not visible from outside the vehicle; and (iv) all product is transported in a vehicle that bears no markings indicating that the vehicle is being used to transport marijuana or MIPs and does not indicate the name of the RMD. Each dispensary agent transporting marijuana or MIPs shall have access to a secure form of communication with personnel at the origination location at all times that the vehicle contains marijuana or MIPs.

Massachusetts Department Inspections

The Massachusetts Department or its agents may inspect a RMD and affiliated vehicles at any time without prior notice. A RMD shall immediately upon request make available to the Massachusetts Department all information that may be relevant to a Massachusetts Department inspection, and the Massachusetts Department may direct a RMD to

 

-65-


test marijuana for contaminants. Any violations found will be noted in a deficiency statement that will be provided to the RMD, and the RMD shall thereafter submit a Plan of Correction to the Massachusetts Department outlining with particularity each deficiency and the timetable and steps to remediate the same. The Massachusetts Department shall have the authority to suspend or revoke a certificate of registration in accordance with 105 CMR 725.405 of the Regulation of adult-use cannabis in Massachusetts. Adult-use cannabis ‘’Marijuana Establishments’’ are regulated in Massachusetts by the Cannabis Control Commission pursuant to 935 CMR 500.000 et seq. Pursuant to section 500.101(2), RMDs that have received a provisional or final certificate of registration are authorized to apply for a vertically-integrated Marijuana Establishment license on a priority basis over new applicants without a RMD certification. The same application requirements exist for a Marijuana Establishment license as a RMD application, and each owner, officer or member must undergo background checks and fingerprinting with the Cannabis Control Commission. Applicants must submit the location and identification of each site, and must establish a property interest in the same, and the applicant and the local municipality must have entered into a host agreement authorizing the location of the adult-use Marijuana Establishment within the municipality, and said agreement must be included in the application. Applicants must include disclosure of any and all regulatory actions against it by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as well as the civil and criminal history of the applicant and all owners, officers, principals or members. The application must include the RMD applicant’s plans for separating medical and adult-use operations, proposed timeline for achieving operations, liability insurance, business plan, and a detailed summary describing and/or updating or modifying the RMD’s existing medical marijuana operating policies and procedures for adult-use including security, prevention of diversion, storage, transportation, inventory procedures, quality control, dispensing procedures, personnel policies, record keeping, maintenance of financial records and employee training protocols.

The adult-use license application process commenced on April 1, 2018 for existing RMD license holders and will commence for all non-RMD license holders on July 1, 2018. Existing RMD license holders that timely applied for an adult-use license on or before April 1, 2018 are eligible to receive three adult-use licenses per medical RMD license. Namely, one integrated RMD medical license is eligible, if awarded by the Cannabis Control Commission, to receive three adult-use licenses as follows: one for cultivation, one for processing and one for dispensary. Additionally, there is a 100,000 square foot cultivation canopy for adult-use licenses; however, there is no canopy restriction for RMD license holders relative to their cultivation facility.

Maryland

Maryland adopted a comprehensive law legalizing medical cannabis in 2014. The Maryland program will result in a large medical marijuana market as a result of an expansive list of qualifying conditions, less restrictive provisions for obtaining cannabis certifications from doctors, and patient freedom to choose preferred methods of ingestions. The Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission began to sell through dispensaries on December 1, 2017. 14 growers, 12 processors and nine dispensaries have been licensed by the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission, and on the day sales began, approximately 15,000 people had signed up to be prospective patients. Almost 550 healthcare providers have registered with Maryland to recommend cannabis to their patients. Maryland has a population of over 6 million people.

The Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission (the “MMCC”) grants medical cannabis grower, processor, dispensary and transportation licenses. A licensee may hold a license in each category to obtain vertical integration. The applicant must first seek pre-approval from the MMCC in order to be granted a license. As part of the pre-approval application, the applicant must submit information related to its operations; safety and security; medical cannabis professionalism; retail management factors; business and economic factors; and other additional factors that may apply.

Maryland Licensing Requirements

In order to become a licensed medical cannabis dispensary, each applicant must submit an application detailing the location of the proposed dispensary, the personal details of each principal officer or director, and operating procedures the dispensary will use. All owners, members, shareholders, officers, and directors of dispensary holding a 5% or greater interest in the company must undergo a criminal and financial background checks. All employee, volunteers and personnel who will be working in the dispensary with access to the non-public areas are required to undergo background checks and register as a dispensary agent with the MMCC.

Michigan

Michigan Regulatory Landscape    

In November 2008, Michigan residents approved the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act42 (the “MMMA”) to provide a legal framework for a safe and effective medical marijuana program. In September 2016, the Michigan Senate passed the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act43 (the “MMFLA”) and the Marihuana Tracking Act44 (the “MTA” and together with the MMMA and the MMFLA, the “Michigan Cannabis Regulations”) to provide a comprehensive licensing and tracking scheme, respectively, for the medical marijuana program.45 Additionally, the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs and its licensing board (“LARA”) has supplemented the Michigan Cannabis Regulations with “Emergency Rules” to further clarify the regulatory landscape surrounding the medical marijuana program. LARA is the main regulatory authority for the licensing of marijuana businesses.

Under the MMFLA, LARA administrates five types of “state operating licenses” for medical marijuana businesses: (a) a “grower” license, (b) a “processor” license, (c) a “secure transporter” license, (d) a “provisioning center” license and (e) a “safety compliance facility” license. There are no stated limits on the number of licenses that can be made available on a state level; however, LARA has discretion over the approval of applications and municipalities can pass additional restrictions.

On November 6, 2018, Michigan voters approved Proposal 1, to make marijuana legal under state and local law for adults 21 years of age or older and to control the commercial production and distribution of marijuana under a system that licenses, regulates, and taxes the businesses involved. The act will be known as the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act.46 According to Proposal 1, LARA is required to start accepting applications for retail (recreational) dispensaries within 12 months of the measure’s effective date.47

Michigan License    

On March 25, 2019, an affiliate of the Company (the “Michigan Affiliate”) announced that it had completed the most comprehensive portion of Michigan’s application process, being pre-qualified for a cultivation and processing license by the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Medical Marihuana Licensing Board. The pre-qualification represents the authorization of the entity to move forward with the licensing process for its intended facilities.

On March 4, 2020, the Michigan Affiliate was granted approval to commence manufacturing medical products at its facility in Marshall, Michigan. As the construction of the cultivation part of this location continues, the Michigan Affiliate will seek the necessary inspections and approvals for cultivation.

The Michigan Affiliate has also received pre-qualification for adult-use.

State operating licenses for marijuana businesses have a 1 year term and are annually renewable if certain conditions are met: (a) the renewal application is submitted prior to the date the license expires, or within sixty (60) days of expiration if all other conditions are met and a late fee is paid, (b) the licensee pays the regulatory assessment fee set by LARA and (c) the licensee continues to meet the requirements to be a licensee under the Michigan Cannabis Regulations. Each renewal application is reviewed by LARA, but there is no guarantee of a timely renewal. There is no ultimate expiry after which no renewals are permitted.

Michigan Regulations

Products may be purchased in a retail setting from a provisioning center by registered qualified patients or registered primary caregivers connected to a registered qualifying patient (each, a “Michigan Qualified Purchaser”); in each case, Michigan Qualified Purchasers must present a valid registry identification card issued by LARA (a “Michigan Registry ID”). For a Michigan Qualified Purchaser to receive Products, provision centers must deploy an inventory control and tracking system that is capable of interfacing with the statewide monitoring system to determine (a) whether a Michigan Qualified Purchaser holds a Michigan Registry ID and (b) whether the sale or transfer will exceed the then-current daily and monthly purchasing limit for the holder of the Michigan Registry ID.

In order to receive a Michigan Registry ID, an applicant must provide: a completed application dated within one year of submission, a written certification from a physician with a bona-fide physician-patient relationship to the underlying patient, the application or renewal fee, contact information for the patient, caregiver (if applicable) and physician, as well as proof of Michigan residency.

For registered qualifying patients, the daily purchasing limit is 2.5 ounces, and for registered primary caregivers, the daily purchasing limit is 2.5 ounces per underlying registered qualifying patient that the registered primary caregiver is connected with through the registration process. Finally, the licensee shall verify in the statewide monitoring system that the sale or transfer does not exceed the monthly purchasing limit of ten (10) ounces of marijuana product per month to a qualifying patient, either directly or through the qualifying patient’s registered primary caregiver.48

Compliance Software

The Company utilizes an enterprise compliance platform, which integrates the inventory management program of the manager and licensed entities with the software’s compliance checklists and auditing features to facilitate continued compliance with state and local requirements. The software features a robust auditing system that allows for both internal as well as third-party compliance auditing, covering all state and municipal, facility and operational requirements. The enterprise compliance platform offers building tools to facilitate the implementation and maintenance of compliant operations and tracks all required licensing maintenance criteria, which include countdown features and automatically generated reminders for initiating renewals and required reporting.

Compliance Program

Cresco has developed and continues to refine a robust compliance program designed to ensure operational and regulatory requirements continue to be satisfied, and has worked closely with outside counsel, (“Regulatory Counsel”) to assist Cresco in the development of compliance procedures which will assist the Company in monitoring its compliance with U.S. state law on an ongoing basis. Cresco will continue to work closely with Regulatory Counsel and other compliance experts, and is evaluating the engagement of one or more independent third party providers to further develop, enhance and improve its compliance and risk management and mitigation processes and procedures in furtherance of continued compliance with the complex regulatory frameworks of the states to the jurisdiction of which Cresco’s operations are subject. The internal compliance program currently in place includes continued monitoring by managers and executives of Cresco and its subsidiaries to ensure that all operations conform to and comply with required laws, regulations and operating procedures. Cresco further requires its operating subsidiaries to report and disclose all instances of non-compliance, regulatory, administrative, or legal proceedings that may be initiated against them.

RISK FACTORS

MARIJUANA IS ILLEGAL UNDER U.S. FEDERAL LAW AND ENFORCEMENT OF RELEVANT LAWS IS A SIGNIFICANT RISK.

READERS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO CAREFULLY READ ALL OF THE RISK FACTORS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION.

The following are certain factors relating to the business of the Company. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or currently deemed immaterial by the Company, may also impair the operations of the Company. If any such risks actually occur, shareholders of the Company could lose all or part of their investment and the business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects of the Company could be materially adversely affected and the ability of the Company to implement its growth plans could be adversely affected.

The acquisition of any of the securities of the Company is speculative, involving a high degree of risk and should be undertaken only by persons whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume such risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment. An investment in the securities of the Company should not constitute a major portion of an individual’s investment portfolio and should only be made by persons who can afford a total loss of their investment. Company shareholders should evaluate carefully the following risk factors associated with the Company’s securities, along with the risk factors described elsewhere in this AIF.

The following table is intended to assist readers in identifying those parts of this AIF that address the disclosure expectations outlined in Staff Notice 51-352 for issuers that currently have marijuana-related activities in U.S. states where such activity has been authorized within a state regulatory framework.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY

Founder Voting Control

As a result of the Super Voting Shares, Charlie Bachtell, Joe Caltabiano, Robert Sampson, Dominic Sergi and Brian McCormack (the “Founders”) exercise approximately 72.3% of the voting power in respect of the Company’s outstanding shares. The Subordinate Voting Shares are entitled to 1 vote per share, the Proportionate Voting Shares are entitled to 200 votes per share (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms thereof) and the Super Voting Shares are entitled to 2,000 votes per share. As a result, the Founders (and any three of the Founders for certain actions not requiring a 2/3 majority) potentially have the ability to control the outcome of matters submitted to the Company’s shareholders for approval, including the election and removal of directors and any arrangement or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. If the Founders’ employment with the Company is terminated or they resign from their positions with the Company, they will continue to have the ability to exercise the same significant voting power. Additionally, each Super Voting Share, may be so transferred to the holder’s immediate family members, or in connection with estate or tax planning matters.

In addition, because the number of Super Voting Shares held by a holder thereof from time to time is dependent upon the number of Cresco Redeemable Units (and Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares, if and when issued) beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or deemed to be so beneficially owned by such holder from time to time, should the Company cause Cresco to issue additional Cresco Redeemable Units or Cresco Redeemable Units in the future to a Founder in connection with employee equity incentive programs, it would prolong the Founder’s voting control.

To supplement the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to the Super Voting Shares, the Company and the Founders, being the initial holders of Super Voting Shares, entered into an investment agreement effective as of the completion of the Business Combination which, among other things, provides that (i) each Super Voting Share will be transferable only to the holder’s immediate family members or an affiliated entity or a transfer to the other Founder or an entity affiliated with the other Founder, and (ii) upon any sale of Super Voting Shares to a third party purchaser not listed in clause (i), such Super Voting Shares will immediately be redeemed by the Company for their issue price.

 

-77-


The concentrated control through the Super Voting Shares could delay, defer, or prevent a change of control of the Company, arrangement involving the Company or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company that it’s other shareholders support. Conversely, this concentrated control could allow the Founders to consummate such a transaction that the Company’s other shareholders do not support. In addition, the Founders may make long-term strategic investment decisions and take risks that may not be successful and may seriously harm the Company’s business.

As directors and/or officers of the Company, the Founders have control over the day-to-day management and the implementation of major strategic decisions of the Company, subject to authorization and oversight by the Company Board. As board members and/or officers, the Founders owe a fiduciary duty to the Company’s shareholders and are obligated to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company. As shareholders, even controlling shareholders, the Founders are entitled to vote their shares, and shares over which they have voting control, in their own interests, which may not always be in the interests of the Company or the other shareholders of the Company.

Unpredictability Caused by the Capital Structure and Founder Voting Control

Although other Canadian-based companies have dual class or multiple voting share structures, given the concentration of voting control that is held by the Founders and given the other unique features of the capital structure of the Company, including the existence of a significant amount of redeemable equity securities that have been issued by, and are issuable pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of the applicable convertible securities of, Cresco Labs, LLC, which equity securities are redeemable from time to time for Proportionate Voting Shares, in accordance with their terms, the Company is not able to predict whether this structure and control will result in a lower trading price for or greater fluctuations in the trading price of the Subordinate Voting Shares or will result in adverse publicity to the Company or other adverse consequences.

Additional Issuance of Subordinate Voting Shares and Subsidiary Securities May Result in Dilution

The Company may issue additional securities in the future, which may dilute a shareholder’s holdings in the Company. The Company’s articles permit the issuance of an unlimited number of Subordinate Voting Shares, and existing shareholders will have no pre-emptive rights in connection with such further issuance. The Company’s Board has discretion to determine the price and the terms of further issuances. Moreover, additional Subordinate Voting Shares will be issued by the Company on the conversion of the Proportionate Voting Shares in accordance with their terms. The Company may also issue Subordinate Voting Shares to finance future acquisitions. The Company cannot predict the size of future issuances of Subordinate Voting Shares or the effect that future issuances and sales of Subordinate Voting Shares will have on the market price of the Subordinate Voting Shares. Issuances of a substantial number of additional Subordinate Voting Shares, or the perception that such issuances could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Subordinate Voting Shares. With any additional issuance of Subordinate Voting Shares, investors will suffer dilution to their voting power and the Company may experience dilution in its revenue per share.

Additionally, the subsidiaries of the Company, such as Cresco U.S. Corp. and the Cresco Labs, LLC, may issue additional securities, including Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares, Cresco Redeemable Units and LTIP Units to new or existing shareholders, members or securityholders, including in exchange for services performed or to be performed on behalf of such entities or to finance future acquisitions. Any such issuances could result in substantial dilution to the indirect equity interest of the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares in Cresco Labs, LLC.

Additional Financing

The Company expects to require substantial additional capital in the near future to continue operations at its cultivation and production facilities, dispensaries, expansion of its product lines, development of its intellectual property base, increasing production capabilities and expanding its operations in states where it currently operates and states where it currently does not have operations. The Company may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to it, or at all. If the Company fails to raise additional capital, as needed, its ability to implement its business model and strategy could be compromised.

 

-78-


Even if the Company obtains financing for its near-term operations, it expects that it will require additional capital thereafter. The capital needs of the Company will depend on numerous factors including: (i) profitability; (ii) the release of competitive products by competitors; (iii) the level of investment in research and development; and (iv) the amount of our capital expenditures, including acquisitions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain capital in the future to meet its needs.

Although the Company has accessed private financing in the past, there is neither a broad nor deep pool of institutional capital that is available to companies in the U.S. cannabis industry. There can be no assurance that additional financing, if raised privately, will be available to the Company when needed or on terms which are acceptable.

No Guaranteed Return

There is no guarantee that an investment in the Subordinate Voting Shares will earn any positive return in the short, medium or long term. There is no assurance that holders of the Subordinate Voting Shares will receive cash distributions or any rate of return on, or repayment of, their investment in the Subordinate Voting Shares. In fact, an investor could lose its entire investment in the Subordinate Voting Shares.

Volatile Market Price of the Subordinate Voting Shares and Other Listed Securities

The market price of the Subordinate Voting Shares and other listed securities of the Company from time to time, cannot be predicted and has been and may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. This volatility may affect the ability of holders of Subordinate Voting Shares or such other securities to sell their securities at an advantageous price. Market price fluctuations in the Subordinate Voting Shares or such other securities may be due to the Company’s operating results failing to meet expectations of securities analysts or investors in any period, downward revision in securities analysts’ estimates, adverse changes in general market conditions or competitive, regulatory or economic trends, adverse changes in the economic performance or market valuations of companies in the industry in which the Company operates, acquisitions, dispositions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, capital commitments or other material public announcements by the Company or its competitors or government and regulatory authorities, operating and share price performance of the companies that investors deem comparable to the Company, addition or departure of the Company’s executive officers and other key personnel, along with a variety of additional factors. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Subordinate Voting Shares or such other securities.

Financial markets have at times historically experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of equity and convertible securities of companies and that have often been unrelated to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. Accordingly, the market price of the Subordinate Voting Shares and other listed securities of the Company from time to time, may decline even if the Company’s operating results, underlying asset values or prospects have not changed. Additionally, these factors, as well as other related factors, may cause decreases in asset values that are deemed to be other than temporary, which may result in impairment losses. There can be no assurance that continuing fluctuations in price and volume will not occur. If such increased levels of volatility and market turmoil continue or arise, the Company’s operations may be adversely impacted, and the trading price of the Subordinate Voting Shares and such other securities may be materially adversely affected.

Outstanding Securities are Restricted from Immediate Resale but May be Sold in the Near Future

On May 28, 2019, Cresco announced that shareholders representing 205,172,192 Subordinate Voting Shares (on an as-if converted basis) entered into voluntary lock-up agreements representing 97% of the shares subject to the initial lock-up and 80% of the then total issued Subordinate Voting Shares (on an as-if converted basis). The voluntary lock-up agreements stipulate that these shareholders will not, subject to limited exception, offer to sell, contract to sell, lend, pledge or otherwise dispose of any Cresco securities, or enter into any transaction to such effect, directly or indirectly, in addition to other restrictions until December 3, 2019 when a portion of the shares will be released followed by the remainder of the shares being released by June 3, 2020.

 

-79-


Sales by Existing Shareholders

Sales of a substantial number of Subordinate Voting Shares in the public market could occur at any time either by existing holders of Subordinate Voting Shares or by holders of Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares (if issued) or Cresco Redeemable Units upon redemption of the same and issuance to such holders of the applicable Proportionate Voting Shares and their subsequent conversion to Subordinate Voting Shares. These sales, or the market perception that the holders of a large number of Subordinate Voting Shares, Proportionate Voting Shares, Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares (if issued) or Cresco Redeemable Units intend to sell Subordinate Voting Shares, could reduce the market price of the Subordinate Voting Shares and other listed securities of the Company from time to time. If this occurs and continues, it could impair the Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the sale of securities.

Limited Market for Securities

Notwithstanding that the Subordinate Voting Shares are listed on the CSE, there can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the Subordinate Voting Shares will develop or be maintained and a Company shareholder may find it difficult to resell any securities of the Company.

Dividends

The Company has no earnings or dividend record and does not anticipate paying any dividends on the Subordinate Voting Shares in the foreseeable future. Dividends paid by the Company would be subject to tax and, potentially, withholdings.

Tax

Canadian federal and provincial and U.S. federal and state tax issues should be taken into consideration prior to investing in the Subordinate Voting Shares. The return on an investor’s investment is subject to taxes and to changes in Canadian and U.S. tax laws. There can be no assurance that tax laws, regulations or judicial or administrative interpretations of these laws and regulations will change in a manner that fundamentally alters the tax consequences to investors holding or disposing of the Subordinate Voting Shares.

If you are purchasing the Subordinate Voting Shares outside of Canada, you should consult your own tax advisor for advice for your local jurisdiction.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE COMPANY’S INDEBTEDNESS

Substantial Indebtedness

In January 2020, the Company borrowed $100 million under the Credit Agreement governing the Senior Loan. The Credit Agreement contains a mutual option of the Company and the lenders to increase the Senior Loan up to $200 million. The Company’s substantial indebtedness could have important consequences. For example, it could:

 

   

require the Company to dedicate a substantial portion of available cash flow to pay interest on its outstanding debt, which will reduce the funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;

 

   

limit flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in the Company’s business and in the industry in which it operates;

 

   

increase the Company’s vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions and to deterioration in operating results;

 

   

limit the Company’s ability to engage in strategic transactions or implement its business strategies;

 

-80-


   

limit the Company’s ability to borrow additional funds, or to refinance, repay or restructure its indebtedness; and

 

   

place the Company at a disadvantage compared to any competitors that have less debt.

Any of the factors listed above could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business and results of operations.

If the Company does not have sufficient cash flow to service its debt, the Company may be required to refinance all or part of its existing debt, sell assets, borrow more money or sell securities, none of which the Company can guarantee it will be able to do.

The Company may be able to incur significant additional indebtedness in the future. Although the Credit Agreement contains restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to important qualifications and exceptions, including an exception for the incurrence of additional indebtedness consented to by the lenders. If the Company incurs new indebtedness, the related risks, including those described above, could intensify.

The Company’s Ability to Service its Indebtedness Depends on Factors Beyond its Control

The Company’s ability to satisfy its debt obligations will depend principally upon its future operating performance. As a result, prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, will affect its ability to make payments on its indebtedness.

The required repayment of the Senior Loan will be accelerated if, among other things, any governmental authority enforces a prohibition or ban on the Company’s business or if certain cannabis-related licenses are revoked, suspended or cancelled without replacement.

If the Company does not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to satisfy its debt service obligations, it may have to pursue alternative financing plans, such as refinancing or restructuring its indebtedness, selling assets, reducing or delaying capital investments or seeking to raise additional capital. The Company’s ability to refinance or restructure its debt will depend on the capital markets, the prevailing regulatory environment and the Company’s financial condition at such time. In addition, the terms of the Credit Agreement may restrict it from adopting some of these alternatives. The Company’s inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy its debt service obligations, or to refinance its obligations on commercially reasonable terms, would have an adverse effect, which could be material, on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Restrictive Covenants

The Credit Agreement contains, and any future indebtedness of the Company would likely contain, a number of restrictive covenants imposing significant operating and financial restrictions on the Company and some or all of its subsidiaries, including restrictions that may limit the Company’s ability to engage in acts that may be in its long-term best interests.

The Credit Agreement includes covenants restricting, among other things, the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to:

 

   

incur or guarantee additional debt;

 

   

pay dividends or make redemptions, repurchases or distributions, with respect to equity interests;

 

   

create or incur liens;

 

   

make loans or investments;

 

-81-


   

engage in mergers, acquisitions, amalgamations, asset sales and sale and leaseback transactions other than those specified in the Credit Agreement; and

 

   

engage in transactions with affiliates.

These restrictions are subject to important exceptions. In addition, the Company must maintain a minimum cash balance.

The operating and financial restrictions and covenants in the Credit Agreements and any future financing agreements may adversely affect the Company’s ability to finance future operations or capital needs or to engage in other business activities. If a default occurs under the Credit Agreement, the lenders may, subject to certain cure periods, elect to declare all outstanding borrowings, together with accrued interest and other fees, to be immediately due and payable and enforce their security interest. If the Company were unable to repay outstanding borrowings when due, the lenders would have the right to proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure the Senior Loan.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

COVID-19 Pandemic

The novel coronavirus commonly referred to as “COVID-19” was identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a global health emergency, and on March 11, 2020, the spread of COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. On March 13, 2020, the spread of COVID-19 was declared a national emergency by President Donald Trump. The outbreak has spread throughout Europe, the Middle East and North America, causing companies and various international jurisdictions to impose restrictions such as quarantines, business closures and travel restrictions. While these effects are expected to be temporary, the duration of the business disruptions internationally and related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

The rapid development of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures being taken by governments and private parties to respond to it are extremely fluid. While the Company has continuously sought to assess the potential impact of the pandemic on its financial and operating results, any assessment is subject to extreme uncertainty as to probability, severity and duration. The Company has attempted to assess the impact of the pandemic by identifying risks in the following principle areas:

 

   

Mandatory Closure. In response to the pandemic, many states and localities have implemented mandatory shut-downs of business to prevent the spread of COVID-19. In most of the states of the Company’s operation, the Company’s business has been deemed an “essential service”, permitting the Company’s operations to stay open despite the mandatory closure of non-essential businesses. While the Company is working closely with state and local regulators to seek temporary measures that allow it to remain operational, there is no guarantee that the Company will be permitted to remain operational. The Company’s ability to generate revenue could be materially impacted by any shut down of its operations.

 

   

Customer Impact. While the Company has not yet noticed an overall downturn in demand for its products in connection with the pandemic, if its customers become ill with COVID-19, are forced to quarantine, decide to self-quarantine or not to visit its dispensaries or distribution points to observe “social distancing”, it may have a material negative impact on demand for its products while the pandemic continues. While the Company is seeking to implement measures, where permitted, such as “curb side” sales and delivery, to reduce infection risk to its customers, regulators may not permit such measures, or such measures may not prevent a reduction in demand.

 

   

Supply Chain Disruption. The Company relies on third party suppliers for equipment and services to produce its products and keep its operations going. If its suppliers are unable to continue operating due to mandatory closures or other effects of the pandemic, it may negatively impact its own ability to continue operating. At this time, the Company has not experienced any failure to secure critical supplies or services. In particular, while the Company procures certain equipment, including components of its vaping and other products, from China where the pandemic has caused extensive business closures, the Company currently

 

-82-


 

believes that it will be able to continue to source such products at a cost within historical ranges. However, disruptions in our supply chain may affect our ability to continue certain aspects of the Company’s operations or may significantly increase the cost of operating its business and significantly reduce its margins.

 

   

Staffing Disruption. The Company is, for the time being, implementing among its staff where feasible “social distancing” measures recommended by such bodies as the Center of Disease Control, the Presidential Administration, as well as state and local governments. The Company has cancelled nonessential travel by employees, implemented remote meetings where possible, and permitted all staff who can work remotely to do so. For those whose duties require them to work on-site, measures have been implemented to reduce infection risk, such as reducing contact with customers, mandating additional cleaning of workspaces and hand disinfection and providing masks and gloves to certain personnel. Nevertheless, despite such measures, the Company may find it difficult to ensure that its operations remain staffed due to employees falling ill with COVID-19, becoming subject to quarantine, or deciding not to come to come to work on their own volition to avoid infection. At certain locations, the Company has experienced increased absenteeism due to the pandemic. If such absenteeism increases, the Company may not be able, including through replacement and temporary staff, to continue to operate in some or all locations.

 

   

Regulatory Backlog. Regulatory authorities, including those that oversee the cannabis industry on the state level, are heavily occupied with their response to the pandemic. These regulators as well as other executive and legislative bodies in the states in which we operate may not be able to provide the level of support and attention to day-to-day regulatory functions as well as to needed regulatory development and reform that they would otherwise have provided. Such regulatory backlog may materially hinder the development of the Company’s business by delaying such activities as product launches, facility openings and business acquisitions, thus materially impeding development of its business.

The Company is actively addressing the risk to business continuity represented by each of the above factors through the implementation of a broad range of measures throughout its structure and is re-assessing its response to the COVID-19 pandemic on an ongoing basis. The above risks individually or collectively may have a material impact on the Company’s ability to generate revenue. Implementing measures to remediate the risks identified above may materially increase our costs of doing business, reduce our margins and potentially result in losses. While the Company is not currently in financial distress, if the Company’s financial situation materially deteriorates as a result of the impact of the pandemic, the Company could eventually be unable to meet its obligations to third parties, including observing financial covenants under the Credit Agreement. See the “Risk Factors – Substantial Indebtedness and Risk Factors – Restrictive Covenants” sections, above for greater detail.

U.S. Federal Regulation

MARIJUANA IS ILLEGAL UNDER U.S. FEDERAL LAW AND ENFORCEMENT OF RELEVANT LAWS IS A SIGNIFICANT RISK.

The Company could be found to be violating laws related to medical cannabis. For an overview of the U.S. cannabis regulatory environment, see the “Description of the Business – United States Regulatory Environment” section, above. Below is a summary of the potential risks related to federal and state level laws related to the operations of the Company and Cresco.

Risk of U.S. Federal Law Proceedings Against the Company

Potential proceedings under U.S. federal law could involve significant restrictions being imposed upon the Company or third parties, while diverting the attention of key executives. Such proceedings could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, revenues, operating results and financial condition as well as the Company’s reputation, even if such proceedings were concluded successfully in favor of the Company. In the extreme case, such proceedings could ultimately involve the prosecution of key executives of the Company or the seizure of corporate assets. However, as of the date hereof, the Company and has obtained legal advice in respect thereof that proceedings of this nature have historically been sufficiently uncommon to be characterized as remote absent a shift by federal authorities to a more aggressive enforcement approach. The Company has also received advice from its legal counsel regarding the potential exposure and implications arising from U.S. federal law generally. As the legal landscape at both the U.S. federal level and the state level is evolving, all such legal advice is historical in nature, and is only effective up to the date such advice was received.

 

-83-


Following the issuance of the Sessions Memo and the Barr Comments, the Company continues to look to the guidelines of the Cole Memo as an industry best practice and continues to do the following to ensure compliance with the Cole Memo:

 

   

ensuring the operations of its subsidiaries are compliant with all licensing requirements that are set forth with regards to cannabis operation by the applicable state, county, municipality, town, township, borough, and other political/administrative divisions. To this end, the Company retains appropriately experienced legal counsel and other professionals to conduct the necessary due diligence to ensure compliance of such operations with all applicable;

 

   

the activities relating to the cannabis business adhere to the scope of the licensing obtained. Accordingly, in the states where only medical cannabis is permitted, the products are only sold to patients who hold the necessary documentation to permit the possession of the cannabis; and in the states where cannabis is permitted for adult-use, the products are only sold to individuals who meet the requisite age requirements;

 

   

the Company only works through licensed operators, which must pass a range of requirements, adhere to strict business practice standards and be subjected to strict regulatory oversight whereby sufficient checks and balances ensure that no revenue is distributed to criminal enterprises, gangs and cartels; and

 

   

the Company conducts reviews of products and product packaging to ensure that the products comply with applicable regulations and contain necessary disclaimers about the contents of the products to prevent adverse public health consequences from cannabis use and prevent impaired driving.

The Company will continue to monitor compliance on an ongoing basis in accordance with its compliance program and standard operating procedures. While the Company’s operations are in full compliance with all applicable state laws, regulations and licensing requirements, such activities remain illegal under U.S. federal law. For the reasons described above and the risks further described below, there are significant risks associated with the business of the Company.

Variation in State Regulations

Variations in state and local regulation, and enforcement in states that have legalized medical cannabis, may restrict marijuana-related activities, including activities related to medical cannabis, which may negatively impact our revenues and prospective profits.

The marijuana laws of each state are not necessarily consistent with those of other states. A number of states have decriminalized marijuana to varying degrees, other states have created exemptions specifically for medical cannabis, and several have both decriminalization and medical laws. Four States, Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, Washington and the District of Columbia have previously legalized the adult-use of cannabis. In November 2016, four additional states, California, Massachusetts, Maine and Nevada, voted to legalize adult-use cannabis, although adult-use will not commence in those states until appropriate regulatory frameworks have been put in place. The exception is Nevada California and Massachusetts, which began its adult-use program on July 1, 2017, January 2018 and November 2018, respectively. Variations exist among states that have legalized, decriminalized, or created medical marijuana exemptions. For example, Alaska, Colorado, and the District of Columbia have limits on the number of marijuana plants that can be homegrown. In most states, the cultivation of marijuana for personal use continues to be prohibited except for those states that allow small-scale cultivation by the individual in possession of medical marijuana needing care or that person’s caregiver. Active enforcement of state laws that prohibit personal cultivation of marijuana may indirectly and adversely affect our business and our revenue and profits.

 

-84-


The Company is in compliance with, and has obtained legal advice in respect of its compliance with, U.S. state laws and the related licensing framework of Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Nevada, Arizona, California, Massachusetts and New York applicable to its respective business operations.

Change of Cannabis Laws

It is possible that U.S. federal or state legislation could be enacted in the future that would prohibit the Company from selling cannabis and cannabis products, and if such legislation were enacted, the Company’s revenues could decline, leading to a loss of shareholder investment. Additionally, it is possible that regulatory bodies could impose new restrictions on our ability to operate in the U.S., which could lead to a loss of shareholder investment.

U.S. State Regulatory Uncertainty

The rulemaking process for cannabis operators at the state level in any state will be ongoing and result in frequent changes. As a result, a compliance program is essential to manage regulatory risk. All operating policies and procedures implemented in the operation will be compliance-based and derived from the state regulatory structure governing ancillary cannabis businesses and their relationships to state-licensed or permitted cannabis operators, if any. Notwithstanding the Company’s efforts, regulatory compliance and the process of obtaining regulatory approvals can be costly and time-consuming. No assurance can be given that the Company will receive the requisite licenses, permits or cards to operate its businesses.

In addition, local laws and ordinances could restrict the Company’s business activity. Although legal under the laws of the states in which the Company’s business will operate, local governments have the ability to limit, restrict, and ban cannabis businesses from operating within their jurisdiction. Land use, zoning, local ordinances, and similar laws could be adopted or changed, and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

The Company is aware that proportionate states are considering special taxes or fees on businesses in the marijuana industry. Illinois has, for example, imposed a license transfer surtax. It is a potential yet unknown risk at this time that other states are in the process of reviewing such additional fees and taxation. This could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects.

The Company is required to obtain or renew government permits and licenses for its current and contemplated operations. Obtaining, amending or renewing the necessary governmental permits and licenses can be a time-consuming process potentially involving numerous regulatory agencies, involving public hearings and costly undertakings on the Company’s part. The duration and success of the Company’s efforts to obtain, amend and renew permits and licenses are contingent upon many variables not within its control, including the interpretation of applicable requirements implemented by the relevant permitting or licensing authority. The Company may not be able to obtain, amend or renew permits or licenses that are necessary to its operations. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the permitting and licensing process could impede the ongoing or proposed operations of the Company. To the extent necessary permits or licenses are not obtained, amended or renewed, or are subsequently suspended or revoked, the Company may be curtailed or prohibited from proceeding with its ongoing operations or planned development and commercialization activities. Such curtailment or prohibition may result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

The Company may become involved in a number of government or agency proceedings, investigations and audits. The outcome of any regulatory or agency proceedings, investigations, audits, and other contingencies could harm the Company’s reputation, require the Company to take, or refrain from taking, actions that could harm its operations or require the Company to pay substantial amounts of funds, harming its financial condition. There can be no assurance that any pending or future regulatory or agency proceedings, investigations and audits will not result in substantial costs or a diversion of management’s attention and resources or have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Risk of Legal, Regulatory or Political Change

Delays in enactment of new state or U.S. federal regulations could restrict the ability of the Company to reach strategic growth targets and lower return on investor capital. The strategic growth strategy of the Company is reliant upon certain federal and state regulations being enacted to facilitate the legalization of medical and adult-use marijuana. If such regulations are not enacted, or enacted but subsequently repealed or amended, or enacted with prolonged phase-in periods, the growth targets of the Company, and thus, the effect on the return of investor capital, could be detrimental. The Company is unable to predict with certainty when and how the outcome of these complex regulatory and legislative proceedings will affect its business and growth.

Further, there is no guarantee that state laws legalizing and regulating the sale and use of cannabis will not be repealed or overturned, or that local governmental authorities will not limit the applicability of state laws within their respective jurisdictions. If the U.S. federal government begins to enforce federal laws relating to cannabis in states where the sale and use of cannabis is currently legal, or if existing applicable state laws are repealed or curtailed, the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects would be materially adversely affected. It is also important to note that local and city ordinances may strictly limit and/or restrict disbursement of marijuana in a manner that will make it extremely difficult or impossible to transact business that is necessary for the continued operation of the marijuana industry. Federal actions against individuals or entities engaged in the marijuana industry or a repeal of applicable marijuana related legislation could adversely affect the Company and its business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

The Company is aware that multiple states are considering special taxes or fees on businesses in the marijuana industry. It is a potential yet unknown risk at this time that other states are in the process of reviewing such additional fees and taxation. This could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects.

The commercial medical and adult-use marijuana industry is in its infancy and the Company anticipates that such regulations will be subject to change as the jurisdictions in which the Company does business matures. The Company has in place a detailed compliance program with dedicated staff who oversee, maintain, and implement the compliance program and personnel. In addition to the Company’s robust legal and compliance departments, the Company also has local regulatory/compliance counsel engaged in every jurisdiction in which it operates. The Company’s compliance program emphasizes security and inventory control to ensure strict monitoring of cannabis and inventory from delivery by a licensed distributor to sale or disposal. Additionally, the Company has created comprehensive standard operating procedures that include detailed descriptions and instructions for monitoring inventory at all stages of development and distribution. The Company will continue to monitor compliance on an ongoing basis in accordance with its compliance program, standard operating procedures, and any changes to regulation in the marijuana industry.

Overall, the medical and adult-use marijuana industry is subject to significant regulatory change at both the state and federal level. The inability of the Company to respond to the changing regulatory landscape may cause it to not be successful in capturing significant market share and could otherwise harm its business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects.

The Company is aware that multiple states are considering special taxes or fees on businesses in the marijuana industry. It is a potential yet unknown risk at this time that other states are in the process of reviewing such additional fees and taxation. This could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects.

WARNING TO CANADIAN INVESTORS - Canadian Investors May be Barred from Entering the U.S.

Todd Owen, executive assistant commissioner for the Office of Field Operations of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency (“CBP”) has stated that Canadians who work in the marijuana industry and those who invest in the cannabis sector risk a lifetime ban on travel to the U.S. The CBP will continue to apply long-standing U.S. federal laws and regulations that treat marijuana as a banned substance and participants in the cannabis industry as drug traffickers who are inadmissible into the U.S. Although some U.S. states have eased marijuana laws, the U.S. continues to maintain a federal prohibition that applies at the border. CBP officials are not planning to go out of their way to

 

-86-


interrogate every Canadian traveler about marijuana use. However, other factors may cause them to raise the topic. In July 2018, a venture-capitalist from Vancouver, British Columbia who had invested more than $100,000 into legal American cannabis companies, was denied entry to the U.S. and barred from future entry as his investments were deemed to be assisting and abetting in the illicit trafficking of drugs.

On September 21, 2018, CBP released a statement outlining its current position with respect to enforcement of the laws of the United States. It stated that Canada’s legalization of cannabis will not change CBP enforcement of United States laws regarding controlled substances and because cannabis continues to be a controlled substance under United States law, working in or facilitating the proliferation of the legal cannabis industry in U.S. states where it is deemed legal or Canada may affect admissibility to the United States. As a result, CBP has affirmed that, employees, directors, officers, managers and investors of companies involved in business activities related to cannabis in the United States or Canada (such as the Company), who are not United States citizens face the risk of being barred from entry into the United States for life. As described above, on October 9, 2018, CBP released an additional statement regarding the admissibility of Canadian citizens working in the legal cannabis industry. CBP stated that a Canadian citizen working in or facilitating the proliferation of the legal cannabis industry in Canada coming into the United States for reasons unrelated to the cannabis industry will generally be admissible to the United States; however, if such person is found to be coming into the United States for reasons related to the cannabis industry, such person may be deemed inadmissible.

Internal Controls

The failure to implement and maintain proper and effective internal controls and disclosure controls could result in material weaknesses in the Company’s financial reporting, such as errors in its financial statements and in the accompanying footnote disclosures that could require restatements. Investors may lose confidence in the Company’s reported financial information and disclosure, which could negatively impact its share price.

The Company does not expect that its internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. Over time, controls may become inadequate because changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may occur. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Global Economic Conditions

The Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow have been, and may in the future be, negatively impacted by challenging global economic conditions.

A global economic slowdown would cause disruptions and extreme volatility in global financial markets, increased rates of default and bankruptcy, and declining consumer and business confidence, which can lead to decreased levels of consumer spending. These macroeconomic developments have and could negatively impact the Company’s business, which depends on the general economic environment and levels of consumer spending. As a result, the Company may not be able to maintain its existing customers or attract new customers, or it may be forced to reduce the price of its products. The Company is unable to predict the likelihood of the occurrence, duration, or severity of such disruptions in the credit and financial markets and adverse global economic conditions. Any general or market-specific economic downturn could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow of the Company.

Limited Operating History

As a high growth enterprise, Cresco does not have a history of profitability. The Company is therefore subject to many of the risks common to early-stage enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel, financial, and other resources and lack of revenues. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders’ investment and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of the early stage of operations.

 

-87-


Reliance on Management

The success of the Company is dependent upon the ability, expertise, judgment, discretion and good faith of its senior management. While employment agreements or management agreements are customarily used as a primary method of retaining the services of key employees, these agreements cannot assure the continued services of such employees. Any loss of the services of such individuals could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition or prospects.

Competition

There is potential that the Company will face intense competition from other companies, some of which can be expected to have longer operating histories and more financial resources and experience than the Company. Increased competition by larger and better financed competitors could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the Company.

Because of the early stage of the industry in which the Company operates, the Company expects to face additional competition from new entrants. To become and remain competitive, the Company will require research and development, marketing, sales and support. The Company may not have sufficient resources to maintain research and development, marketing, sales and support efforts on a competitive basis which could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the Company.

Difficulty in Recruiting and Retaining Management and Key Personnel

The Company’s future success depends on its key executive officers and its ability to attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel.

Future success largely depends upon the continued services of the Company’s executive officers and management team. If one or more of the executive officers are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, replacements may not be readily available, if at all. Additionally, the Company may incur additional expenses to recruit and retain new executive officers. If any of the executive officers joins a competitor or forms a competing corporation, we may lose some or all of our customers. Finally, we do not maintain “key person” life insurance on any of our executive officers. Because of these factors, the loss of the services of any of these key persons could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations, and thereby an investment in the Subordinate Voting Shares.

The continuing ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel will also be critical to the reporting issuer’s success because it will need to hire and retain additional personnel as the business grows. There can be no assurance that highly qualified personnel will be retained or available. Due to the competition for skilled personnel in the U.S. cannabis industry it is more difficult and expensive to attract, hire, and retain qualified managers and employees. Because of these factors, The Company may not be able to effectively manage or grow its business, which could adversely affect its financial condition and the value of any investment in the Company could be significantly reduced or completely lost.

Unreliability of Forecasts

Any forecasts made by the Company about its operations may prove to be inaccurate. The Company must, among other things, determine appropriate risks, rewards, and level of investment in its product lines, respond to economic and market variables outside of its control, respond to competitive developments and continue to attract, retain, and motivate qualified employees. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in meeting these challenges and addressing such risks and the failure to do so could have a materially adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. The prospects of the Company must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stage of development. As a result of these risks, challenges, and uncertainties, the value of any investment in the Company could be significantly reduced or completely lost.

 

-88-


Managing Growth

The Company may not be able to effectively manage its growth or improve its operational, financial, and management information systems, which would impair its results of operations.

In the near term, the Company intends to expand the scope of its operations and activities significantly. If it is successful in executing its business plan, it will experience growth that could place a significant strain on its business operations, finances, management, and other resources. The factors that may place strain on the Company’s resources include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

  1.

the need for continued development of financial and information management systems;

 

  2.

the need to manage strategic relationships and agreements with manufacturers, customers, and partners; and

 

  3.

difficulties in hiring and retaining skilled management, technical, and other personnel necessary to support and manage the business.

Additionally, the strategy of the Company envisions a period of rapid growth that may impose a significant burden on its administrative and operational resources. The ability to effectively manage growth will require it to substantially expand the capabilities of its administrative and operational resources and to attract, train, manage, and retain qualified management and other personnel. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in recruiting and retaining new employees, or retaining existing employees.

The Company cannot provide assurances that its management will be able to manage this growth effectively and the failure to successfully manage growth could result in its sales not increasing commensurately with capital investments or otherwise materially adversely affecting the business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Inability to Innovate and Find Efficiencies

If the Company is unable to continually innovate and increase efficiencies, our ability to attract new customers may be adversely affected. In the area of innovation, the Company must be able to develop new technologies and products that appeal to its customers. This depends, in part, on the technological and creative skills of the Company’s personnel and on our ability to protect our intellectual property rights. The Company may not be successful in the development, introduction, marketing, and sourcing of new technologies or innovations, that satisfy customer needs, achieve market acceptance, or generate satisfactory financial returns.

Website

Prospective customers may be deterred from doing business with the Company with a significant nationwide online presence because of fears of U.S. federal or state enforcement of laws prohibiting possession and sale of medical or adult-use marijuana.

The Company’s website is visible in jurisdictions where medicinal and/or adult-use of marijuana is not permitted and, as a result, the Company may be found to be violating the laws of those jurisdictions. The Company could lose potential customers as they could fear federal prosecution for buying its marijuana, reducing its revenue.

Operational Risk

The Company will be affected by a number of operational risks and the it may not be adequately insured for certain risks, including: labour disputes; catastrophic accidents; fires; blockades or other acts of social activism; changes in the regulatory environment; impact of non-compliance with laws and regulations; natural phenomena, such as inclement weather conditions, floods, earthquakes and ground movements. There is no assurance that the foregoing

 

-89-


risks and hazards will not result in damage to, or destruction of, the Company’s properties, grow facilities and extraction facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage, adverse impacts on the Company’s operation, costs, monetary losses, potential legal liability and adverse governmental action, any of which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s future cash flows, earnings and financial condition. Also, the Company may be subject to or affected by liability or sustain loss for certain risks and hazards against which the Company cannot insure or which the Company may elect not to insure because of the cost. This lack of insurance coverage could have an adverse impact on the Company’s future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition.

Reliance on third-party suppliers, manufacturers and contractors; Reliance on Key Inputs

The Company’s business is dependent on a number of key inputs from third parties and their related costs including raw materials and supplies related to its cultivation and production operations, as well as electricity, water and other local utilities. Due to the uncertain regulatory landscape for regulating cannabis in the U.S., the Company’s third party suppliers, manufacturers and contractors may elect, at any time, to decline or withdraw services necessary for the Company’s operations. Any significant interruption or negative change in the availability or economics of the supply chain for key inputs from third parties could materially impact the business, financial condition and operating results of the Company. Some of these inputs may only be available from a single supplier or a limited group of suppliers in the future. If the Company becomes reliant upon a sole source supplier and it was to go out of business or suspend services the Company might be unable to find a replacement for such source in a timely manner or at all. Similarly, if any future sole source supplier were to be acquired by a competitor, that competitor may elect not to sell to the Company in the future. Additionally, any supplier could at any time suspend or withdraw services. Any inability to secure required supplies and services or to do so on appropriate terms could have a materially adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.

Revenue Shortfalls

Revenue shortfalls from budget may result from lower than expected sales volume, sale price and/or inventory due to inadequate marketing or lower than expected market stimulation. Average sales prices may be less than budgeted due to aggressive competitor pricing below the Company’s prices.

Failure to Complete Acquisitions

The Company currently expects to complete certain transactions in the future. These acquisitions are subject to a number of customary closing conditions including in certain instances, regulatory approval and may not close for a variety of reasons including if the closing conditions are not satisfied or waived, some of which may not be within the control of the Company. In addition, even if these transactions were to be completed, they may not close on terms or within the timing currently expected. If one or more of these transactions do not close or are completed pursuant to terms or timelines different than expected, it could have an adverse effect on the Company’s future capital plans and require the Company to reallocate funds.

Permits and Authorizations

The Company may be able to obtain or maintain the necessary licenses, permits, authorizations, or accreditations, or may only be able to do so at great cost, to operate its medical marijuana business. In addition, the Company may not be able to comply fully with the wide variety of laws and regulations applicable to the medical marijuana industry. Failure to comply with or to obtain or maintain the necessary licenses, permits, authorizations, or accreditations could result in restrictions on our ability to operate the medical marijuana business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Potential for Conflict of Interest

All decisions to be made by such directors and officers involving the Company are required to be made in accordance with their duties and obligations to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company. In addition, such directors and officers are required to declare their interests in, and such directors are required to refrain from voting on any matter in which they may have a material conflict of interest. For a description of certain risks associated with the Company’s dual class voting structure, see “Founder Voting Control”.

 

-90-


Certain of the Company’s directors and officers are, and may continue to be, or may become, involved in other business ventures through their direct and indirect participation in, among other things, corporations, partnerships and joint ventures, that are or may become competitors of the products and services the Company provides or intends to provide. Situations may arise in connection with potential acquisitions or opportunities where the other interests of these directors and officers conflict with or diverge from the Company’s interests. In accordance with applicable corporate law, directors who have a material interest in a contract or transaction or a proposed contract or transaction with the Company that is material to the Company are required, subject to certain exceptions, to disclose that interest and generally abstain from voting on any resolution to approve the transaction. This does not impact the directors and officers obligation to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the Company’s best interests. However, in conflict of interest situations, the Company’s directors and officers may owe the same duty to another company and will need to balance their competing interests with their duties to the Company. Circumstances (including with respect to future corporate opportunities) may arise that may be resolved in a manner that is unfavorable to the Company.

Difficulty in Enforcing Judgments and Effecting Service of Process on Directors and Officers

The directors and officers of the Company reside outside of Canada. Some or all of the assets of such persons may be located outside of Canada. Therefore, it may not be possible for Company shareholders to collect or to enforce judgments obtained in Canadian courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of applicable Canadian securities laws against such persons. Moreover, it may not be possible for Company shareholders to effect service of process within Canada upon such persons.

Intellectual Property

If the Company fails to protect its intellectual property, its business could be adversely affected. Viability will depend, in part, on the Company’s ability to develop and maintain the proprietary aspects of its technology to distinguish its products from its competitors’ products. The Company relies on copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and confidentiality provisions to establish and protect our intellectual property.

The Company will not be able to register any United States federal trademarks or patents for its cannabis products due to producing, manufacturing, processing, possessing, distributing, selling, and using cannabis being a crime under the CSA. The United States Patent and Trademark Office will not permit the registration of any patent or trademark that identifies cannabis products. As a result, the Company likely will be unable to protect its cannabis product trademarks beyond the geographic areas in which it conducts business. The use of its trademarks outside the states in which it operates by one or more other persons could have a material adverse effect on the value of such trademarks.

Any infringement or misappropriation of the Company’s intellectual property could damage its value and limit its ability to compete. The Company may have to engage in litigation to protect the rights to its intellectual property, which could result in significant litigation costs and require a significant amount of its time. In addition, the Company’s ability to enforce and protect its intellectual property rights may be limited in certain countries outside the U.S., which could make it easier for competitors to capture market position in such countries by utilizing technologies that are similar to those developed or licensed by the Company.

Competitors may also harm the Company’s sales by designing products that mirror the capabilities of its products or technology without infringing on its intellectual property rights. If the Company does not obtain sufficient protection for its intellectual property, or if it is unable to effectively enforce its intellectual property rights, its competitiveness could be impaired, which would limit its growth and future revenue.

The Company may also find it necessary to bring infringement or other actions against third parties to seek to protect its intellectual property rights. Litigation of this nature, even if successful, is often expensive and time- consuming to prosecute and there can be no assurance that the Company will have the financial or other resources to enforce its rights or be able to enforce its rights or prevent other parties from developing similar technology or designing around its intellectual property.

 

-91-


Although the Company believes that its technology does not and will not infringe upon the patents or violate the proprietary rights of others, it is possible such infringement or violation has occurred or may occur, which could have a material adverse effect on the business.

The Company is not aware of any infringement by it of any person’s or entity’s intellectual property rights. In the event that products sold by the Company are deemed to infringe upon the patents or proprietary rights of others, the Company could be required to modify its products or obtain a license for the manufacture and/or sale of such products or cease selling such products. In such event, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to do so in a timely manner, upon acceptable terms and conditions, or at all, and the failure to do any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business.

There can be no assurance that the Company will have the financial or other resources necessary to enforce or defend a patent infringement or proprietary rights violation action. If the Company’s products or proposed products are deemed to infringe or likely to infringe upon the patents or proprietary rights of others, the Company could be subject to injunctive relief and, under certain circumstances, become liable for damages, which could also have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and its financial condition.

Information Technology Systems and Cyber-Attacks

The Company’s operations depend, in part, on how well it and its suppliers protect networks, equipment, information technology (“IT”) systems and software against damage from a number of threats, including, but not limited to, cable cuts, damage to physical plants, natural disasters, intentional damage and destruction, fire, power loss, hacking, computer viruses, vandalism and theft. The Company’s operations also depend on the timely maintenance, upgrade and replacement of networks, equipment, IT systems and software, as well as pre-emptive expenses to mitigate the risks of failures. Any of these and other events could result in information system failures, delays and/or increase in capital expenses. The failure of information systems or a component of information systems could, depending on the nature of any such failure, adversely impact the Company’s reputation and results of operations.

The Company has not experienced any material losses to date relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches, but there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur such losses in the future. The Company’s risk and exposure to these matters cannot be fully mitigated because of, among other things, the evolving nature of these threats. As a result, cyber security and the continued development and enhancement of controls, processes and practices designed to protect systems, computers, software, data and networks from attack, damage or unauthorized access is a priority. As cyber threats continue to evolve, the Company may be required to expend additional resources to continue to modify or enhance protective measures or to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities.

Trade Secrets

The Company’s trade secrets may be difficult to protect as it depends upon the skills, knowledge, and experience of its scientific and technical personnel, consultants and advisors, as well as licensors and contractors. Because of the highly competitive nature of the U.S. cannabis industry, the Company relies in part on trade secrets to protect its proprietary technology and processes. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. The Company enters into confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements with its corporate partners, employees, consultants, outside scientific collaborators, developers, and other advisors. These agreements generally require that the receiving party keep confidential and not disclose to third parties confidential information developed by the receiving party or made known to the receiving party by the Company during the course of the receiving party’s relationship with the Company. These agreements also generally provide that inventions conceived by the receiving party in the course of rendering services to the Company will be the Company’s exclusive property, and the Company enters into assignment agreements to perfect its rights.

These confidentiality, inventions, and assignment agreements may be breached and may not effectively assign intellectual property rights to the Company. Trade secrets also could be independently discovered by competitors, in which case the Company would not be able to prevent the use of such trade secrets by competitors. The enforcement of a claim alleging that a party illegally obtained and was using the Company’s trade secrets could be difficult, expensive, and time consuming and the outcome would be unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the U.S. may be less willing to protect trade secrets. The failure to obtain or maintain meaningful trade secret protection could adversely affect the Company’s competitive position.

 

-92-


Lack of Access to U.S. Bankruptcy Protections

Because the use of cannabis is illegal under U.S. federal law, many courts have denied cannabis businesses bankruptcy protections, thus making it very difficult for lenders to recoup their investments in the cannabis industry in the event of a bankruptcy. If the Company were to experience a bankruptcy, there is no guarantee that U.S. federal bankruptcy protections would be available to the Company, which would have a material adverse effect.

Fluctuations in Currency Exchange Rates

Fluctuations in currency exchange rates may adversely affect Cresco’s financial position. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates may significantly impact Cresco’s financial position and results. Cresco does not have in place a policy for managing or controlling foreign currency risks since, to date, its primary activities have not resulted in material exposure to foreign currency risk.

Insurance Coverage

There is a risk that a greater number of state regulatory agencies will begin requiring entities engaged in certain aspects of the business or industry of legal marijuana to post a bond or significant fees when applying for example for a dispensary license or renewal as a guarantee of payment of sales and franchise tax. Cresco is not able to quantify at this time the potential scope for such bonds or fees in the states in which it currently or may in the future operate. Any bonds or fees of material amounts could have a negative impact on the ultimate success of the Company’s business.

The Company’s business is subject to a number of risks and hazards generally, including adverse environmental conditions, accidents, labour disputes and changes in the regulatory environment. Such occurrences could result in damage to assets, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in operations, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

The Company’s insurance coverage may be inadequate to cover all significant risk exposures as it will be exposed to liabilities that are unique to the products we provide. While the Company intends to maintain insurance for certain risks, the amount of its insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all claims or liabilities, and it may be forced to bear substantial costs resulting from risks and uncertainties of its business. It is also not possible to obtain insurance to protect against all operational risks and liabilities. The failure to obtain adequate insurance coverage on terms favorable to the Company, or at all, could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and results of operations. The Company does not have any business interruption insurance. Any business disruption or natural disaster could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.

Anti-money Laundering Laws and Regulations

The Company is subject to a variety of laws and regulations domestically and in the U.S. that involve money laundering, financial recordkeeping and proceeds of crime, including the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970 (commonly known as the Bank Secrecy Act), as amended by Title III of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (USA PATRIOT Act), the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada), as amended and the rules and regulations thereunder, the Criminal Code (Canada) and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by governmental authorities in the U.S. and Canada.

In February 2014, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FCEN”) of the Treasury Department issued a memorandum (the “FCEN Memo”) providing instructions to banks seeking to provide services to marijuana-related businesses. The FCEN Memo states that in some circumstances, it is permissible for banks to provide services to marijuana-related businesses without risking prosecution for violation of U.S. federal money laundering laws. It refers to supplementary guidance that Deputy Attorney General Cole issued to U.S. federal prosecutors relating to the prosecution of money laundering offenses predicated on marijuana-related violations of the CSA. It is unclear at this time whether the current administration will follow the guidelines of the FCEN Memo.

 

-93-


In the event that any of the Company’s operations, or any proceeds thereof, any dividends or distributions therefrom, or any profits or revenues accruing from such operations in the U.S. were found to be in violation of money laundering legislation or otherwise, such transactions may be viewed as proceeds of crime under one or more of the statutes noted above or any other applicable legislation. This could restrict or otherwise jeopardize the ability of the Company to declare or pay dividends, effect other distributions or subsequently repatriate such funds back to Canada. Furthermore, while the Company has no current intention to declare or pay dividends on its common shares in the foreseeable future, in the event that a determination was made that the Company’s proceeds from operations (or any future operations or investments in the U.S.) could reasonably be shown to constitute proceeds of crime, the Company may decide or be required to suspend declaring or paying dividends without advance notice and for an indefinite period of time.

Risk of Civil Asset Forfeiture

Because the cannabis industry remains illegal under U.S. federal law, any property owned by participants in the cannabis industry which are either used in the course of conducting such business, or are the proceeds of such business, could be subject to seizure by law enforcement and subsequent civil asset forfeiture. Even if the owner of the property were never charged with a crime, the property in question could still be seized and subject to an administrative proceeding by which, with minimal due process, it could be subject to forfeiture.

Investments in the United States May be Subject to Heightened Scrutiny

For the reasons set forth above, the Company’s existing operations in the U.S., and any future operations or investments, may become the subject of heightened scrutiny by regulators, stock exchanges and other authorities in Canada. As a result, the Company may be subject to significant direct and indirect interaction with public officials. There can be no assurance that this heightened scrutiny will not in turn lead to the imposition of certain restrictions on the Company’s ability to operate or invest in the U.S. or any other jurisdiction, in addition to those described herein.

Government policy changes or public opinion may also result in a significant influence over the regulation of the marijuana industry in Canada, the U.S. or elsewhere. A negative shift in the public’s perception of medical marijuana in the U.S. or any other applicable jurisdiction could affect future legislation or regulation. Among other things, such a shift could cause state jurisdictions to abandon initiatives or proposals to legalize medical marijuana, thereby limiting the number of new state jurisdictions into which the Company could expand. Any inability to fully implement the Company’s expansion strategy may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Constraints on Marketing Products

The development of the Company’s business and operating results may be hindered by applicable restrictions on sales and marketing activities imposed by government regulatory bodies. The regulatory environment in the United States limits the Company’s ability to compete for market share in a manner similar to other industries. If the Company is unable to effectively market its products and compete for market share, or if the costs of compliance with government legislation and regulation cannot be absorbed through increased selling prices for its products, the Company’s sales and operating results could be adversely affected.

Settlements of Trades

On February 8, 2018, following discussions with the Canadian Securities Administrators and recognized Canadian securities exchanges, the TMX Group announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Aequitas NEO Exchange Inc., the CSE, the Toronto Stock Exchange, and the Toronto Stock Venture Exchange. The MOU outlines the parties’ understanding of Canada’s regulatory framework applicable to the rules, procedures, and regulatory oversight of the exchanges and CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (“CDS”) as it relates to issuers with cannabis-related activities in the United States. The MOU confirms, with respect to the clearing of listed securities, that CDS relies on the exchanges to review the conduct of listed issuers. As a result, there is no CDS ban

 

-94-


on the clearing of securities of issuers with cannabis-related activities in the United States. However, there can be no guarantee that this approach to regulation will continue in the future. If such a ban were to be implemented at a time when the common shares are listed on a stock exchange, it would have a material adverse effect on the ability of holders of common shares to make and settle trades. In particular, the common shares would become highly illiquid until an alternative was implemented, investors would have no ability to effect a trade of the common shares through the facilities of the applicable stock exchange.

Environmental Risk and Regulation

The Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulation in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. These regulations mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation. They also set forth limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors (or the equivalent thereof) and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s operations.

Government approvals and permits are currently, and may in the future, be required in connection with the Company’s operations. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained, the Company may be curtailed or prohibited from its current or proposed production, manufacturing or sale of marijuana or marijuana products or from proceeding with the development of its operations as currently proposed.

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. The Company may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of its operations and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.

Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing the production, manufacturing or sale of marijuana or marijuana products, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in expenses, capital expenditures or production or manufacturing costs or reduction in levels of production, manufacturing or sale or require abandonment or delays in development.

Access to Banks

The Company may have difficulty accessing the service of banks, which may make it difficult for it to operate.

Since the use of marijuana is illegal under U.S. federal law, and in light of concerns in the banking industry regarding money laundering and other federal financial crime related to marijuana, U.S. banks have been reluctant to accept deposit funds from businesses involved with the marijuana industry. Consequently, businesses involved in the marijuana industry often have difficulty finding a bank willing to accept their business. Likewise, marijuana businesses have limited, if any, access to credit card processing services. As a result, marijuana businesses in the U.S. are largely cash-based. This complicates the implementation of financial controls and increases security issues. The inability to open or maintain bank accounts or take credit cards may make it difficult for us to operate our contemplated medical marijuana businesses.

Legality of contracts

Because the Company’s contracts involve cannabis and other activities that are not legal under U.S. federal law and in some jurisdictions, the Company may face difficulties in enforcing its contracts in U.S. federal and certain state courts.

 

-95-


Holding Company

The Company is a holding company and essentially all of its assets are the capital stock of its material subsidiaries. As a result, investors in the Company are subject to the risks attributable to its subsidiaries. Consequently, the Company’s cash flows and ability to complete current or desirable future opportunities are dependent on the earnings of its subsidiaries. The ability of these entities to pay dividends and other distributions will depend on their operating results and will be subject to applicable laws and regulations which require that solvency and capital standards be maintained by such entities and contractual restrictions contained in the instruments governing their debt. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of the Company’s material subsidiaries, holders of indebtedness and trade creditors may be entitled to payment of their claims from the assets of those subsidiaries before the Company.

Unfavorable Tax Treatment of Cannabis Businesses

Under Section 280E (“Section 280E”) of the U.S. Tax Code, “no deduction or credit shall be allowed for any amount paid or incurred during the taxable year in carrying on any trade or business if such trade or business (or the activities which comprise such trade or business) consists of trafficking in controlled substances (within the meaning of schedule I and II of the Controlled Substances Act) which is prohibited by Federal law or the law of any State in which such trade or business is conducted.” This provision has been applied by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service to cannabis operations, prohibiting them from deducting expenses directly associated with the sale of cannabis. Section 280E therefore has a significant impact on the retail side of cannabis, but a lesser impact on cultivation and manufacturing operations. A result of Section 280E is that an otherwise profitable business may, in fact, operate at a loss, after taking into account its U.S. income tax expenses. There are currently several pending cases before various administrative and federal courts challenging these restrictions. There can be no guarantee that any of these challenges will result in any favorable interpretation of Section 280E for cannabis businesses.

United States Tax Classification of the Company

The Company, which is and will continue to be a Canadian corporation as of the date of this AIF, is also expected to be classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a United States corporation under Section 7874 of the U.S. Tax Code. Section 7874 of the U.S. Tax Code, contains rules that can cause a non-United States corporation to be taxed as a United States corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. Under section 7874 of the U.S. Tax Code, a corporation created or organized outside the United States. (i.e., a non-United States corporation) will nevertheless be treated as a United States corporation for United States federal income tax purposes (such treatment is referred to as an inversion) if each of the following three conditions are met: (i) the non-United States corporation acquires, directly or indirectly, or is treated as acquiring under applicable United States Treasury Regulations, substantially all of the assets held, directly or indirectly, by a United States corporation or United States trade or business, (ii) after the acquisition, the former stockholders of the acquired United States corporation hold at least 80% (by vote or value) of the shares of the non-United States corporation by reason of holding shares of the United States acquired corporation, trade or business, and (iii) after the acquisition, the non-United States corporation’s expanded affiliated group does not have substantial business activities in the non- United States corporation’s country of organization or incorporation when compared to the expanded affiliated group’s total business activities.

The Company intends to be treated as a United States corporation for United States federal income tax purposes under section 7874 of the U.S. Tax Code and is expected to be subject to United States federal income tax on its worldwide income. However, for Canadian tax purposes, the Company is expected, regardless of any application of section 7874 of the U.S. Tax Code, to be treated as a Canadian resident company (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “ITA”)) for Canadian income tax purposes. As a result, the Company will be subject to taxation both in Canada and the United States which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations. The Company may not qualify for certain U.S.-Canada income tax treaty benefits, which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.

It is unlikely that the Company will pay any dividends on the Subordinate Voting Shares in the foreseeable future. However, dividends received by shareholders who are residents of Canada for purpose of the ITA will be subject to U.S. withholding tax. Any such dividends may not qualify for a reduced rate of withholding tax under the Canada-United States tax treaty. In addition, a foreign tax credit or a deduction in respect of foreign taxes may not be available.

 

-96-


Dividends received by U.S. shareholders will not be subject to U.S. withholding tax but will be subject to Canadian withholding tax. Dividends paid by the Company will be characterized as U.S. source income for purposes of the foreign tax credit rules under the U.S. Tax Code. Accordingly, U.S. shareholders generally will not be able to claim a credit for any Canadian tax withheld unless, depending on the circumstances, they have an excess foreign tax credit limitation due to other foreign source income that is subject to a low or zero rate of foreign tax.

Dividends received by shareholders that are neither Canadian nor U.S. shareholders will be subject to U.S. withholding tax and will also be subject to Canadian withholding tax. These dividends may not qualify for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax under any income tax treaty otherwise applicable to a shareholder of the Company, subject to examination of the relevant treaty.

Because the common shares will be treated as shares of a U.S. domestic corporation, the U.S. gift, estate and generation-skipping transfer tax rules generally apply to a non-U.S. shareholder of common shares.

EACH SHAREHOLDER SHOULD SEEK TAX ADVICE, BASED ON SUCH SHAREHOLDER’S PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR.

Consumer Acceptance of Marijuana

We are dependent on the popularity of consumer acceptance of Cresco product lines.

The Company’s ability to generate revenue and be successful in the implementation of the Company’s business plan is dependent on consumer acceptance and demand of Cresco products. Acceptance of Cresco products will depend on several factors, including availability, cost, ease of use, familiarity of use, convenience, effectiveness, safety, and reliability. If these customers do not accept Cresco products, or if such products fail to meet customers’ needs and expectations adequately, our ability to continue generating revenues could be reduced.

A drop in the retail price of medical marijuana products may negatively impact the business.

The demand for Cresco products depends in part on the price of commercially-grown marijuana. Fluctuations in economic and market conditions that impact the prices of commercially-grown marijuana, such as increases in the supply of such marijuana and the decrease in the price of products using commercially-grown marijuana, could cause the demand for marijuana products to decline, which would have a negative impact on our business.

Security Risks

As cash businesses, the premises of the marijuana dispensaries are a target for theft. While the Company has implemented security measures and continues to monitor and improve its security measures, its cultivation, processing and dispensary facilities could be subject to break-ins, robberies and other breaches in security. In the event of robbery or theft, the loss of cannabis plants, cannabis oils, cannabis flowers and cultivation and processing equipment could have a material adverse impact on the business, financial condition and results of operation of the Company.

As the Company’s business involves the movement and transfer of cash which is collected from dispensaries and used to purchase trim, accessories etc. or deposited into its bank, there is a risk of theft or robbery during the transport of cash. The Company has engaged a security firm to provide armed guards and security in the transport and movement of large amounts of cash. Sales representatives sometimes transport cash and/or products and each sales representative has a panic button in their vehicle and, if requested, may be escorted by armed guards. While the Company has taken robust steps to prevent theft or robbery of cash during transport, there can be no assurance that there will not be a security breach during the transport and the movement of cash involving the theft of product or cash.

Risk of Litigation

If the Company incurs substantial liability from litigation, complaints, or enforcement actions, its financial condition, business and results of operation could suffer.

 

-97-


The Company’s participation in the medical marijuana industry may lead to litigation, formal or informal complaints, enforcement actions, and inquiries by various U.S. federal, state, or local governmental authorities against the Company or its subsidiaries. Litigation, complaints, and enforcement actions involving the Company or its subsidiaries could consume considerable amounts of financial and other corporate resources, which could have a negative impact on our sales, revenue, profitability, and growth prospects. The Company’s subsidiaries are presently engaged in the distribution of marijuana, however, neither the Company nor its subsidiaries are currently, subject to any litigation, complaint or enforcement action regarding marijuana brought by any U.S. federal, state, or local governmental authority with respect to the business.

From time-to-time in the normal course of business operations, the Company may become subject to litigation that may result in liability material to its financial statements as a whole or may negatively affect its operating results if changes to its business operations are required. The cost to defend such litigation may be significant and may require a diversion of resources. There also may be adverse publicity associated with litigation that could negatively affect customer perception of the business, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether the Company is ultimately found liable. Insurance may not be available at all or in sufficient amounts to cover any liabilities with respect to these or other matters. A judgment or other liability in excess of the Company’s insurance coverage for any claims could adversely affect its business and the results of operations.

Risks Inherent in an Agricultural Business

The Company’s business involves the growing of medical and adult-use marijuana, an agricultural product. Such business will be subject to the risks inherent in the agricultural business, such as insects, plant diseases and similar agricultural risks. Although the Company expects that any such growing will be completed indoors under climate controlled conditions, there can be no assurance that natural elements will not have a material adverse effect on any such future production.

Vulnerability to Rising Energy Costs

Adult-use and medical marijuana growing operations consume considerable energy, making the Company potentially vulnerable to rising energy costs. Rising or volatile energy costs may adversely impact the business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects of the Company.

Reliance on License

The Company’s ability to cultivate, store, produce and distribute medical and adult-use marijuana products in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Nevada, Arizona, California and New York is dependent on maintaining its licenses in good standing with each applicable State regulator. Failure to comply with the requirements of any of its licenses or any failure to maintain any of the licenses would have a material adverse impact on the business, financial condition and operating results of the Company. The Company’s (or its subsidiaries) licenses related to its ability to cultivate, store, produce and distribute medical and adult-use marijuana products (as applicable) in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Nevada, Arizona, California and New York are currently in good standing and the Company remains fully compliant with the respective associated state laws and regulations.

Product Liability

As a distributor of products designed to be ingested by humans, the Company faces an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if its products are alleged to have caused significant loss or injury. In addition, the sale of the Company’s products involves the risk of injury to consumers due to tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of the Company’s products alone or in combination with other medications or substances could occur. The Company may be subject to various product liability claims, including, among others, that the Cresco’s products caused injury or illness, include inadequate instructions for use or include inadequate warnings concerning possible side effects or interactions with other substances.

 

-98-


A product liability claim or regulatory action against the Company could result in increased costs, could adversely affect the Company’s reputation with its clients and consumers generally, and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition of the Company. Although the Company has secured product liability insurance, and strictly enforces a quality standard within the operations, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to maintain its product liability insurance on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. This scenario could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of the Company’s potential products. To date, there have been no product related issues.

Product Recalls

Manufacturers and distributors of products are sometimes subject to the recall or return of their products for a variety of reasons, including product defects, such as contamination, unintended harmful side effects or interactions with other substances, packaging safety and inadequate or inaccurate labeling disclosure. If any of the Company’s products are recalled due to an alleged product defect or for any other reason, the Company could be required to incur the unexpected expense of the recall and any legal proceedings that might arise in connection with the recall. The Company may lose a significant amount of sales and may not be able to replace those sales at an acceptable margin or at all. In addition, a product recall may require significant management attention. Although the Company has detailed procedures in place for testing finished products, there can be no assurance that any quality, potency or contamination problems will be detected in time to avoid unforeseen product recalls, regulatory action or lawsuits. Additionally, if one of the Company’s significant brands were subject to recall, the image of that brand and the Company as its owner could be harmed. A recall for any of the foregoing reasons could lead to decreased demand for the Company’s products and could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. Additionally, product recalls may lead to increased scrutiny of the Company’s operations by the FDA or other regulatory agencies, requiring further management attention and potential legal fees and other expenses.

Regulatory or Agency proceedings, Investigations and Audits

The Company’s business requires compliance with many laws and regulations. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could subject the Company to regulatory or agency proceedings or investigations and could also lead to damage awards, fines and penalties. The Company may become involved in a number of government or agency proceedings, investigations and audits. The outcome of any regulatory or agency proceedings, investigations, audits, and other contingencies could harm the Company’s reputation, require the Company to take, or refrain from taking, actions that could harm its operations or require the Company to pay substantial amounts of money, harming its financial condition. There can be no assurance that any pending or future regulatory or agency proceedings, investigations and audits will not result in substantial costs or a diversion of management’s attention and resources or have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operation.

Newly Established Legal Regime

The Company business activities will rely on newly established and/or developing laws and regulations in the states in which it operates. These laws and regulations are rapidly evolving and subject to change with minimal notice. Regulatory changes may adversely affect the Company’s profitability or cause it to cease operations entirely. The cannabis industry may come under the scrutiny or further scrutiny by the FDA, Securities and Exchange Commission, the DOJ, the Financial Industry Regulatory Advisory or other U.S. federal or applicable state or nongovernmental regulatory authorities or self-regulatory organizations that supervise or regulate the production, distribution, sale or use of cannabis for medical or nonmedical purposes in the United States. It is impossible to determine the extent of the impact of any new laws, regulations or initiatives that may be proposed, or whether any proposals will become law. The regulatory uncertainty surrounding the industry may adversely affect the business and operations of the Company, including without limitation, the costs to remain compliant with applicable laws and the impairment of its business or the ability to raise additional capital.

 

-99-


General Economic Risks

The Company’s operations could be affected by the economic context should the unemployment level, interest rates or inflation reach levels that influence consumer trends and spending and, consequently, impact the Company’s sales and profitability.

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

It is contemplated by the Company that it will reinvest all future earnings in order to finance the development and growth of its business. As a result, it is not contemplated that dividends will be paid on the Subordinate Voting Shares in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay distributions will be at the discretion of the Company’s Board and will be made in accordance with applicable law and will depend on the financial condition, business environment, operating results, capital requirements, any contractual restrictions on the payment of distributions and any other factors that the Company’s Board deems relevant.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STRUCTURE

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Subordinate Voting Shares, an unlimited number of Proportionate Voting Shares and an unlimited number of Super Voting Shares. As of April 28, 2020, the outstanding capital of the Company consists of: (i) 153,262,290 Subordinate Voting Shares; (ii) 264,458 Proportionate Voting Shares (which includes securities to be issued in connection with an acquisition and are convertible on a 1:200 basis into 52,891,696 Subordinate Voting Shares); and (iii) 500,000 Super Voting Shares.

Conversion    In the event that an offer is made to purchase Proportionate Voting Shares and the offer is one which is required, pursuant to applicable securities legislation or the rules or conditions of listing of a stock exchange on which the Proportionate Voting Shares are then listed, to be made to all or substantially all the holders of Proportionate Voting Shares in a given province or territory of Canada to which these requirements apply, each Subordinate Voting Share shall become convertible at the option of the holder into Proportionate Voting Shares at the inverse of the Conversion Ratio then in effect at any time while the offer is in effect until one day after the time prescribed by applicable securities legislation for the offeror to take up and pay for such shares as are to be acquired pursuant to the offer. The conversion right may only be exercised in respect of Subordinate Voting Shares for the purpose of depositing the resulting Proportionate Voting Shares pursuant to the offer, and for no other reason. In such event, the Company’s transfer agent shall deposit the resulting Proportionate Voting Shares on behalf of the holder. Should the Proportionate Voting Shares issued upon conversion and tendered in response to the offer be withdrawn by shareholders or not taken up by the offeror, or should the offer be abandoned or withdrawn, the Proportionate Voting Shares resulting from the conversion shall be automatically reconverted, without further intervention on the part of the Company or on the part of the holder, into Subordinate Voting Shares at the Conversion Ratio then in effect.
Conversion of Subordinate Voting Shares    In the event that an offer is made to purchase Proportionate Voting Shares, and the offer is one which is required, pursuant to applicable securities legislation or the rules of a stock exchange, if any, on which the Proportionate Voting Shares are then listed, to be made to all or substantially all the holders of Proportionate Voting Shares in a province or territory of Canada to which the requirement applies, each Subordinate Voting Share shall become convertible at the option of the holder into Proportionate Voting Shares at the inverse of the conversion ratio then in effect, at any time while the offer is in effect until one day after the time prescribed by applicable securities legislation for the offeror to take up and pay for such shares as are to be acquired pursuant to the offer. The conversion right may only be exercised in respect of Subordinate Voting Shares for the purpose of depositing the resulting Proportionate Voting Shares under the offer, and for no other reason. In such event, the transfer agent for the Subordinate Voting Shares shall deposit under the offer the resulting Proportionate Voting Shares, on behalf of the holder. To exercise such conversion right, the holder or his or its attorney duly authorized in writing shall
   (a) give written notice to the transfer agent of the exercise of such right, and of the number of Subordinate Voting Shares in respect of which the right is being exercised;
   (b) deliver to the transfer agent the share certificate or certificates representing the Subordinate Voting Shares in respect of which the right is being exercised, if applicable; and
   (c) pay any applicable stamp tax or similar duty on or in respect of such conversion.
   No share certificates representing the Proportionate Voting Shares, resulting from the conversion of the Subordinate Voting Shares will be delivered to the holders on whose behalf such deposit is being made. If Proportionate Voting Shares, resulting from the conversion and deposited pursuant to the offer, are withdrawn by the holder or are not taken up by the offeror, or the offer is abandoned, withdrawn or terminated by the offeror or the offer otherwise expires without such Proportionate Voting Shares being taken up and paid for, the Proportionate Voting Shares resulting from the conversion will be re-converted into Subordinate Voting Shares at the then conversion ratio and a share certificate representing the Subordinate Voting Shares will be sent to the holder by the transfer agent. In the event that the offeror takes up and pays for the Proportionate Voting Shares resulting from conversion, the transfer agent shall deliver to the holders thereof the consideration paid for such shares by the offeror.

Take-Over Bid Protection

In the event that a take-over bid is made for the Super Voting Shares, the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares will not be entitled to participate in such offer and may not tender their shares into any such offer, whether under the terms of the Subordinate Voting Shares or under any coattail trust or similar agreement.

The Founders have entered into an investment agreement with the Company whereby, upon any sale of Super Voting Shares to a third party purchaser that is not the holder’s immediate family members or an affiliated entity or a transfer to the other Founder or an entity affiliated with the other Founder, such Super Voting Shares will immediately be redeemed by the Company for their issue price. See “Super Voting Shares – Investment Agreement” below.

Additionally, as noted above, the Company’s articles entitle the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares to convert to Proportionate Voting Shares and tender to any take-over bid made solely to the holders of Proportionate Voting Shares.

Proportionate Voting Shares

 

Right to Vote    Holders of Proportionate Voting Shares will be entitled to notice of and to attend at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company, except a meeting of which only holders of another particular class or series of shares of the Company will have the right to vote. At each such meeting, holders of Proportionate Voting Shares will be entitled to one vote in respect of each Subordinate Voting Share into which such Proportionate Voting Share could ultimately then be converted, which for greater certainty, shall initially be equal to 200 votes per Proportionate Voting Share (subject to adjustment at the discretion of the Company Board, depending upon the ratios necessary to preserve foreign private issuer status).
Class Rights    As long as any Proportionate Voting Shares remain outstanding, the Company will not, without the consent of the holders of the Proportionate Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares by separate special resolution, prejudice or interfere with any right or special right attached to the Proportionate Voting Shares. Consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Proportionate Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares shall be required for any action that authorizes or creates shares of any class having preferences superior to or on a parity with the Proportionate Voting Shares. In connection with the exercise of the voting rights for the foregoing only, each holder of Proportionate Voting Shares will have one vote in respect of each Proportionate Voting Share held.
Rights to Subscribe; Pre-Emptive Rights    The holders of Proportionate Voting Shares are not entitled to a right of first refusal to subscribe for, purchase or receive any part of any issue of Subordinate Voting Shares, or bonds, debentures or other securities of the Company.
Dividends    The holder of Proportionate Voting Shares shall have the right to receive dividends, out of any cash or other assets legally available therefor, pari passu (on an as converted basis, assuming conversion of all Proportionate Voting Shares into Subordinate Voting Shares) as to dividends and any declaration or payment of any dividend on the Subordinate Voting Shares. No dividend will be declared or paid on the Proportionate Voting Shares unless the Company simultaneously declares or pays, as applicable, equivalent dividends (on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Share basis) on the Subordinate Voting Shares.
Participation    In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in the event of any other distribution of assets of the Company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, the holders of Proportionate Voting Shares will, subject to the prior rights of the holders of any shares of the Company

 

-102-

Changes    No subdivision or consolidation of the Proportionate Voting Shares shall occur unless, simultaneously, the Subordinate Voting Shares, the Proportionate Voting Shares and the Super Voting Shares are subdivided or consolidated in the same manner or such other adjustment is made so as to maintain and preserve the relative rights of the holders of the shares of each of the said classes.
Conversion    The Proportionate Voting Shares each have a restricted right to convert into 200 Subordinate Voting Shares (the “Conversion Ratio”), subject to adjustments for certain customary corporate changes and foreign private issuer considerations. The ability to convert the Proportionate Voting Shares is subject to a restriction that the aggregate number of Subordinate Voting Shares, Proportionate Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares held of record, directly or indirectly, by residents of the United States (as determined in accordance with Rules 3b-4 and 12g3-2(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), may not exceed forty percent (40%) (subject to adjustment) of the aggregate number of Subordinate Voting Shares, Proportionate Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares issued and outstanding after giving effect to such conversions and to a restriction on beneficial ownership of Subordinate Voting Shares exceeding certain levels. In addition, the Proportionate Voting Shares will be automatically converted into Subordinate Voting Shares in certain circumstances, including upon the registration of the Subordinate Voting Shares under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Super Voting Shares
Right to Vote    Holders of Super Voting Shares shall be entitled to notice of and to attend at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company, except a meeting of which only holders of another particular class or series of shares of the Company shall have the right to vote. At each such meeting holders of Super Voting Shares shall be entitled to 2,000 votes in respect of each Super Voting Share held provided that, if at any time the aggregate number of issued and outstanding (i) Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares in the capital of Cresco Corp (if applicable) and (ii) Cresco Redeemable Units in the capital of Cresco (or such securities of any successor to Cresco Corp or Cresco as may exist from time to time) beneficially owned, directly or indirectly by a holder of the Super Voting Shares (the “Holder”) and the Holder’s predecessor or transferor, permitted transferees and permitted successors, and any prior transferor’s transferor and any prior permitted transferee’s permitted transferee (the “Holder’s Group”), divided by the aggregate number of (i) Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares (if applicable) and (ii) Cresco Redeemable Units beneficially owned, directly or indirectly by the Holders and the Holder’s Group as at the date of completion of the business combination transaction involving, among others, the Company, Cresco Corp and Cresco be less than 50% (the “Triggering Event”), the Holder shall from that time forward be entitled to 50 votes in respect of each Super Voting Share held. The holders of Super Voting Shares shall, from time to time upon the request of the Company, provide to the Company evidence as to such holders’ direct and indirect beneficial ownership (and that of its permitted transferees and permitted successors) of Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares (if applicable) and Cresco Redeemable Units to enable the Company to determine the voting entitlement of the Super Voting Shares. For the purposes of these calculations, a Holder shall be deemed to beneficially own Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares (if applicable) held by an intermediate company or fund in proportion to their equity ownership of such company or fund.

 

-103-


Class Rights    As long as any Super Voting Shares remain outstanding, the Company will not, without the consent of the holders of the Super Voting Shares by separate special resolution, prejudice or interfere with any right or special right attached to the Super Voting Shares. Consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Super Voting Shares shall be required for any action that authorizes or creates shares of any class having preferences superior to or on a parity with the Super Voting Shares. In connection with the exercise of these voting rights, each holder of Super Voting Shares will have one vote in respect of each Super Voting Share held.
Rights to Subscribe; Pre-Emptive Rights    The holders of Super Voting Shares are not entitled to a right of first refusal to subscribe for, purchase or receive any part of any issue of Subordinate Voting Shares, or bonds, debentures or other securities of the Company not convertible into Super Voting Shares, now or in the future.
Dividends    The holders of the Super Voting Shares shall not be entitled to receive dividends.
Participation    In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in the event of any other distribution of assets of the Company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, the Company will distribute its assets firstly and in priority to the rights of holders of any other class of shares of the Company (including the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares and the Proportionate Voting Shares) to return the issue price of the Super Voting Shares to the holders, thereof and if there are insufficient assets to fully return the issue price to the holders of the Super Voting Shares, such holders will receive an amount equal to their pro rata share in proportion to the issue price of their Super Voting Shares along with all other holders of Super Voting Shares. The holders of Super Voting Shares shall not be entitled to receive directly or indirectly as holders of Super Voting Shares any other assets or property of the Company and their sole rights will be to the return of the issue price of such Super Voting Shares in accordance with this paragraph.
Changes    No subdivision or consolidation of the Super Voting Shares shall occur unless, simultaneously, the Super Voting Shares, Proportionate Voting Shares and the Subordinate Voting Shares are subdivided or consolidated in the same manner, so as to maintain and preserve the relative rights of the holders of the shares of each of the said classes.
Conversion    The holders of the Super Voting Shares shall have no right of conversion.
Redemption Rights    Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Company has the right to redeem all or some of the Super Voting Shares from the Holder and Holder’s Group who caused the Triggering Event to occur, by providing two days prior written notice to the Holder and Holder’s Group of such Super Voting Shares, for an amount equal to the issue price for each Super Voting Share, payable in cash to the holders of the Super Voting Shares so redeemed. The Company need not redeem Super Voting Shares on a pro-rata basis among the Holders or Holder’s Group. Holders of Super Voting Shares to be redeemed by the Company shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such Super Voting Shares to the Company at its records office duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Company (or accompanied by duly executed share transfers relating thereto).
   Each surrendered certificate shall be cancelled, and the Company shall thereafter make payment of the applicable redemption amount by certified cheque, bank draft or wire transfer to the registered holder of such certificate; provided that, if less than all the Super Voting Shares represented by a surrendered certificate are redeemed then a new share certificate representing the unredeemed balance of Super Voting Shares represented by such certificate shall be issued in the name of the applicable registered holder of the cancelled share certificate. If on the applicable redemption date the redemption price is paid

 

-104-


   (or tendered for payment) for any of the Super Voting Shares to be redeemed then on such date all rights of the holder in the Super Voting Shares so redeemed and paid or tendered shall cease and such redeemed Super Voting Shares shall no longer be deemed issued and outstanding, regardless of whether or not the holder of such Super Voting Shares has delivered the certificate(s) representing such securities to the Company, and from and after such date the certificate formerly representing the retracted Super Voting Shares shall evidence only the right of the former holder of such Super Voting Shares to receive the redemption price to which such holder is entitled.
Transfer    No Super Voting Share may be transferred by the holder thereof unless such transfer is to an immediate family member or a transfer for the purposes of estate or tax planning to a company or person that is wholly beneficially owned by such holder or immediate family members of such holder or which such holder or immediate family members of such holder are the sole beneficiaries thereof. In order to be effective, any transfer shall require the prior written consent of the Company.
Investment Agreement    To supplement the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to the Super Voting Shares, the Company and the Founders, being the initial holders of Super Voting Shares, entered into an investment agreement effective as of the completion of the Business Combination which, among other things, provides that (i) each Super Voting Share will be transferable only to the holder’s immediate family members or an affiliated entity or a transfer to the other Founder or an entity affiliated with the other Founder, and (ii) upon any sale of Super Voting Shares to a third party purchaser not listed in clause (i), such Super Voting Shares will immediately be redeemed by the Company for their issue price.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL OF CRESCO CORP

The share capital of Cresco Corp consists of Cresco Corp Voting Shares and Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares. As of the date hereof no Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares are issued or outstanding.

Holders of Cresco Corp Voting Shares are entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at meetings of the securityholders of Cresco Corp (other than meetings at which only holders of another class or series of shares are entitled to vote separately as a class or series). Each Cresco Corp Voting Share entitles the holder thereof to one vote on all matters upon which holders of Cresco Corp Voting Shares are entitled to vote.

Holders of Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares (if and when issued) are entitled to exchange or redeem their Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares for Proportionate Voting Shares pursuant to the terms specified in the articles of incorporation of Cresco Corp. Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares do not entitle the holders thereof to receive notice of, attend or vote at meetings of the securityholders.

A holder of Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares (other than the Company), if and when issued, has the right to cause Cresco Corp to redeem its Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares. If a holder of Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares (other than the Company) exercises its redemption or exchange right, Cresco Corp will repurchase for cancellation each such Cresco Corp Redeemable Share submitted for redemption or exchange in consideration for either Proportionate Voting Shares (currently, at a ratio of 1 Proportionate Voting Share for every 200 Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares exchanged) or a cash amount equal to the cash settlement amount applicable to such Cresco Corp Redeemable Share, as determined by Cresco Corp; provided that Cresco Corp may assign to the Company its rights and obligations to effect a redemption or exchange directly with the redeeming holder. For further details on the rights attached to Proportionate Voting Shares, please see Proportionate Voting Shares” above. For greater certainty, Cresco Corp or Cresco may elect to deliver Subordinate Voting Shares (currently, on a 1:1 basis) in lieu of the Proportionate Voting Shares for the Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares exchanged.

A&R LLC Agreement

The following is a summary of the material provisions set forth in the A&R LLC Agreement to be entered into between Cresco and each of the Cresco Members in accordance with the provisions of the Pre-Combination LLC Agreement, which A&R LLC Agreement will amend and restate the Pre-Combination LLC Agreement and come into effect on the closing date.

Duration

Cresco has perpetual existence and will continue as a limited liability company until and unless Cresco is terminated or dissolved in accordance with the A&R LLC Agreement and the ILLCA.

Purpose of Cresco

The principal purpose and business of Cresco shall be to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a limited liability company may be organized under the ILLCA and to conduct such other activities as may be necessary, advisable, convenient or appropriate to promote or conduct the business of Cresco as set forth herein, including, but not limited to, entering into partnership agreements in the capacity of a general or limited partner, becoming a member of a joint venture or a limited liability company, participating in forms of syndication for investment, owning stock in corporations and the incurring of indebtedness and the granting of liens and security interests on the real and personal property of Cresco.

Management: The Manager

Cresco Corp is the sole manager of Cresco and will manage all of Cresco’s operations and activities in accordance with the A&R LLC Agreement. Cresco Corp has the capacity and authority to act as the manager of Cresco.

Subject to the terms of the A&R LLC Agreement and the ILLCA, Cresco Corp has the full and exclusive right, power and authority to manage, control, administer and operate the business and affairs and to make decisions regarding the undertaking and business of Cresco. Among other things, Cresco Corp is empowered to negotiate, execute and perform all agreements, conveyances or other instruments on behalf of Cresco, and to mortgage, charge or otherwise create a security interest over any or all of the property of Cresco or its subsidiaries, and to sell property subject to such a security interest.

Capital Structure of Cresco and Cresco Corp

Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the capital of Cresco shall initially consist of three classes of units: the interest of Cresco Corp is to be represented by Common Units with the number of issued Common Units immediately following the Business Combination to be equal to the respective number of Subordinate Voting Shares issued and outstanding, provided that such Common Units held by Cresco Corp shall not entitle Cresco Corp to any exchange or redemption rights with respect to such Common Units. The interests of other Cresco Members will be represented by Common Units, pursuant to which all such other Cresco Members shall be entitled to certain exchange rights and redemption rights, as provided in the A&R LLC Agreement. Such Common Units held by such other Cresco Members are referred to herein as “Cresco Redeemable Units.” The A&R LLC Agreement shall also authorize the issuance of AO LTIP Units, FV LTIP Units, or other classes or series of membership units issued in accordance with Exhibit A of the A&R LLC Agreement (“LTIP Units”) to persons who provide services for or on behalf of Cresco, which such LTIP Units shall entitle the holder to certain rights and privileges, including the right to convert such LTIP Units to Common Units, subject to certain restrictions, qualifications and limitations, each as provided in the A&R LLC Agreement.

When the Company issues Subordinate Voting Shares, it may contribute all or a portion of the net proceeds to Cresco Corp in exchange for additional shares of Cresco Corp stock. Upon receipt of any such net proceeds from the Company, Cresco Corp will generally contribute such net proceeds to Cresco as a capital contribution on account of its Common Units. In the event that a new class of shares in the capital of the Company is created, Cresco Corp may create a corresponding new class of Cresco units that has corresponding distribution rights to such new class of Company shares and will cause Cresco to issue new units of such class to Cresco Corp. The Company may contribute all or a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of any such shares to Cresco Corp and Cresco Corp, upon receipt of such proceeds, will generally contribute such net proceeds to Cresco in exchange for units of Cresco.

If the Company proposes to redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire any Subordinate Voting Shares for cash, the A&R LLC Agreement requires that Cresco Corp cause Cresco to redeem a corresponding number of Common Units held by Cresco Corp at an aggregate redemption price equal to the aggregate purchase or redemption price of the Subordinate Voting Shares being repurchased or redeemed by the Company (plus any expenses related thereto) and upon such other terms as are the same for the redemption by the Company, and the A&R LLC Agreement further requires that Cresco Corp, immediately prior to such redemption, repurchase or acquisition by the Company, but immediately following the redemption by Cresco, to redeem a corresponding number of shares of Cresco Corp stock held by the Company at an aggregate redemption price equal to the aggregate purchase or redemption price of the Subordinate Voting Shares being repurchased or redeemed by the Company (plus any expenses related thereto) and upon such other terms as are the same for the redemption by the Company.

In the event that any change is effected in the share capital of the Company, Cresco shall undertake all actions requested by Cresco Corp, including a reclassification, distribution, division or recapitalization of the Common Units to maintain at all times the same ratios between the number of Subordinate Voting Shares, the number of Cresco Corp shares and the number of Common Units issued and outstanding immediately prior to any such reclassification, consolidation, split, dividend of securities or other recapitalization including, without limitation, also effecting a reclassification, consolidation, split, dividend of securities or other recapitalization with respect to, as applicable, the Subordinate Voting Shares, Cresco Corp shares and Common Units.

Exchange Mechanism

A holder of Common Units (other than Cresco Corp) will have the right to cause Cresco to redeem its Common Units. If a holder of Common Units (other than Cresco Corp) exercises its exchange right, Cresco will repurchase for cancellation each such Common Unit submitted for exchange in consideration for either Proportionate Voting Shares (at a ratio of 1 Proportionate Voting Share for every 200 Common Units exchanged) or a cash amount equal to the cash settlement amount applicable to such Common Unit, as determined by Cresco Corp, provided that Cresco Corp shall have the right to complete such exchange directly with the redeeming holder or may assign to the Company its rights and obligations to effect an exchange directly with the redeeming holder. For greater certainty, Cresco may elect to deliver Subordinate Voting Shares (currently, on a 1:1 basis) in lieu of the Proportionate Voting Shares for the Common Units exchanged.

 

-107-


Any holder that causes Cresco to redeem its Common Units pursuant to the terms of the A&R LLC Agreement and otherwise fails to comply with the documentation requirements of U.S. Tax Code Section 1446, including the requirement that such holder provide to Cresco a properly completed IRS Form W-9 or satisfy another exception as permitted within U.S. Tax Code Section 1446, prior to the effective time of any such redemption or exchange, will generally be subject to U.S. withholding tax equal to ten percent (10%) of the fair market value of the Proportionate Voting Shares or the cash, as applicable, to be delivered to such holder pursuant to such redemption or exchange.

Additional Common Units; No Preemptive Rights

Except as described above, the A&R LLC Agreement authorizes Cresco Corp to cause Cresco to issue additional Common Units and securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Units on any terms and conditions of offering and sale as Cresco Corp in its discretion may determine, including with respect to acquisitions by Cresco of additional assets or equity interests in corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies and other entities and with respect to executive compensation. Unless otherwise determined by Cresco Corp, no person or entity shall have preemptive, preferential or any other similar right with respect to the issuances of any interest in Cresco.

LTIP Units

Cresco may issue LTIP Units to new or existing Cresco Members in exchange for services performed or to be performed on behalf of Cresco. LTIP Units are intended to qualify as “profits interests” for U.S. federal income tax purposes in Cresco. Two initial series of LTIP Units designated as AO LTIP Units and FV LTIP Units, respectively, will be established. The number of LTIP Units, AO LTIP Units and FV LTIP Units that may be issued by Cresco shall not be limited.

LTIP Units may, in the sole discretion of Cresco Corp, be issued subject to vesting, forfeiture and additional restrictions on transfer pursuant to the terms of an award, vesting or other similar agreement. The terms of any such award, vesting or similar agreement may be modified by Cresco Corp from time to time in its sole discretion, subject to any restrictions on amendment imposed by the relevant award, vesting or similar agreement or by the terms of any plan pursuant to which the LTIP Units are issued, if applicable.

Unless otherwise specified in the relevant award, vesting or similar agreement, upon the occurrence of any event specified in such an agreement resulting in either the forfeiture of any LTIP Units or the repurchase thereof by Cresco at a specified purchase price, then, upon the occurrence of the circumstances resulting in such forfeiture or repurchase by Cresco, the relevant LTIP Units shall immediately and without any further action be treated as cancelled and no longer outstanding for any purpose or as transferred to Cresco.

Upon the occurrence of certain events, including (A) Cresco making a distribution on all outstanding Common Units in Units; (B) Cresco subdividing the outstanding Common Units into a greater number of Units or combining the outstanding Common Units into a smaller number of Units; or (C) Cresco issuing any Units in exchange for its outstanding Common Units by way of reclassification or recapitalization, then Cresco Corp shall make a corresponding adjustment to the LTIP Units to maintain the same correspondence between the Common Units and LTIP Units as existed prior to the occurrence of any such actions.

A holder of LTIP Units shall have the right, at his or her option, at any time to convert all or a portion of his or her vested LTIP Units as follows:

 

  1.

an AO LTIP Unit that has become a vested LTIP Unit shall be converted into a number (or fraction thereof) of fully paid and non-assessable Common Units, giving effect to all adjustments (if any) made pursuant to terms of the A&R LLC Agreement equal to the applicable conversion factor as provided in the A&R LLC Agreement; and

 

  2.

A FV LTIP Unit that has become a vested LTIP Unit shall be converted into a number (or fraction thereof) of fully paid and non-assessable Common Units, giving effect to all adjustments (if any) made pursuant to the terms of the A&R LLC Agreement equal to the applicable conversion factor as provided in the A&R LLC Agreement.

 

-108-


If Cresco or Cresco Corp is a party to any transaction (including without limitation a merger, consolidation, unit exchange, self-tender offer for all or substantially all Common Units or other business combination or reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of Cresco’s assets, but excluding any transaction which constitutes an event requiring an adjustment to the LTIP Units to maintain the same correspondence between the Common Units and the LTIP Units, as described above) as a result of which Common Units shall be exchanged for or converted into the right, or the holders of Common Units shall otherwise be entitled to receive cash, securities or other property or any combination thereof, then Cresco Corp shall, immediately prior to such transaction, insure the conversion of the maximum number of LTIP Units then eligible for conversion, taking into account any allocations that occur in connection with such transaction or that would occur in connection with such transaction if the assets of Cresco were sold at the applicable price of such transaction or, if applicable, at a value determined by Cresco Corp in good faith using the value attributed to the Common Units in the context of the such transaction (in which case the date of the forced LTIP Unit conversion shall be the effective date of such transaction and the conversion shall occur immediately prior to the effectiveness of such transaction).

LTIP Units will not be redeemable at the option of Cresco; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Cresco from repurchasing LTIP Units from the holder thereof if and to the extent that such holder agrees to sell such LTIP Units.

Except as otherwise set forth in the relevant award, vesting or similar agreement or other separate agreement entered into between Cresco and an LTIP Unit holder, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the A&R LLC Agreement, on or at any time after an applicable LTIP Unit conversion date each LTIP Unit holder will have the right to require Cresco to redeem all or a portion of the Common Units into which such LTIP Unit holder’s LTIP Units were converted in exchange for cash, unless the terms of the A&R LLC Agreement, the relevant award, vesting or similar agreement or other separate agreement entered into between Cresco and the LTIP Unit holder expressly provide that such Common Units are not entitled to such redemption right.

Except as otherwise provided in the A&R LLC Agreement, holders of LTIP Units shall not have the right to vote on any matters submitted to a vote of the Cresco Members.

Subject to the terms of the relevant award, vesting or similar agreement or other documentation pursuant to which LTIP Units are granted, except in connection with the exercise of a redemption, a holder of LTIP Units may not transfer all or any portion of his or her LTIP Units without the prior written consent of Cresco Corp, which consent may be given or withheld in Cresco Corp’s sole and absolute discretion.

Transfer of Common Units

Except as permitted by the A&R LLC Agreement, no holder of Common Units may transfer any interest in such Common Units. The A&R LLC Agreement permits a transfer of Common Units pursuant to (i) the prior written approval of Cresco Corp; (ii) certain transactions that cause a change of control of Cresco; (iii) the exercise of exchange or redemption rights by any holder of Common Units; or (iv) certain other limited circumstances. Prior to transferring any Common Units (other than pursuant to certain transactions that cause a change of control of Cresco) the transferring holder of Common Units will cause the transferee to execute a joinder to the A&R LLC Agreement and any other agreements required pursuant to the terms of the A&R LLC Agreement. Any transfer or attempted transfer of any Common Units in violation of any provision of the A&R LLC Agreement shall be void and Cresco shall not record such transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee as the owner of such Common Units for any purpose.

In no event shall any transfer of Common Units be effective to the extent that such transfer could, in the reasonable determination of Cresco Corp:

Power of Attorney

Each Cresco Member who is an individual, including those persons who become Cresco Members in connection with receiving any Common Units, automatically and irrevocably will appoint Cresco Corp, with full power of substitution, as that Cresco Member’s agent to execute and file documents or instruments required for, among other things, but subject in each case to the other provisions of the A&R LLC Agreement, the A&R LLC Agreement (or a joinder thereto), all instruments that Cresco Corp deems appropriate or necessary to reflect any amendment, change, modification or restatement of the A&R LLC Agreement, all conveyances and other instruments or documents which Cresco Corp deems appropriate or necessary to reflect the dissolution or liquidation of Cresco pursuant to the terms of the A&R LLC Agreement, all instruments relating to the admission, withdrawal or substitution of a Cresco Member pursuant to the terms of the A&R LLC Agreement, and any other ballots, consents, approvals, waivers, certificates and other instruments appropriate or necessary, in the reasonable judgment of Cresco Corp, to evidence, confirm or ratify any vote, consent, approval, agreement, or other action made or given by the Cresco Members in accordance with the terms of the A&R LLC Agreement.

Capital Contributions

Following the issuance of the Common Units to the Cresco Members pursuant to the adoption of the A&R LLC Agreement, the Cresco Members will not be required to make further contributions to Cresco.

 

-110-


Neither Cresco nor Cresco Corp is liable for the return of any capital contribution made by a Cresco Member to Cresco.

Limited Liability of the Cresco Members

Subject to the provisions of the ILLCA and of similar legislation in other jurisdictions of the United States and the A&R LLC Agreement: (i) the liability of each Cresco Member for the debts, liabilities and obligations of Cresco will be limited to the Cresco Member’s capital contribution, plus the Cresco Member’s share of any undistributed income of Cresco; and (ii) following payment of a Cresco Member’s capital contribution, such Cresco Member may be required to return amounts previously distributed to such Cresco Member in accordance with the ILLCA and the laws of the State of Illinois.

Limitation on Authority of the Cresco Members and Limited Liability

The A&R LLC Agreement states that a Cresco Member (in its capacity as a Cresco Member) does not have the authority or power to do any of the following:

 

  1.

act for or on behalf of Cresco;

 

  2.

to do any act that would be binding upon Cresco;

 

  3.

make any expenditure on behalf of Cresco;

 

  4.

seek or obtain partition by court decree or operation of law of any Cresco property; or

 

  5.

own or use particular or individual assets of Cresco.

The A&R LLC Agreement provides that Cresco will indemnify each Cresco Member for all liabilities incurred by the Cresco Member that arises solely by reason of such Cresco Member being a member of Cresco.

Distributions

Subject to the provisions set forth in the A&R LLC Agreement, Cresco Corp will cause distributions to be made by Cresco as follows: (i) “distributable cash” (as defined in the A&R LLC Agreement) or other funds or property legally available to the extent permitted by the ILLCA and applicable law, to the Cresco Members pro rata in accordance to each Cresco Member’s proportionate ownership interest in Cresco in amounts on terms as Cresco Corp will determine; and (ii) not less than five business days prior to the due date of a U.S. federal income tax return for an individual calendar year taxpayer, cash in an amount equal to the excess of each Cresco Member’s “assumed tax liability” (as defined in the A&R LLC Agreement) over distributions previously made to such Cresco Member with respect to each such taxable period.

In no case will Cresco be required to make a distribution if such distribution would violate the ILLCA or any other applicable law.

Amendment of the A&R LLC Agreement

The A&R LLC Agreement may be amended or modified by Cresco Corp as determined to be necessary or advisable, in the sole discretion of Cresco Corp, in connection with the adoption, implementation, modification or termination of certain equity plans by the Company. Subject to the right of Cresco Corp to amend the A&R LLC Agreement in connection with the adoption, implementation, modification or termination of certain equity plans by the Company, unless otherwise specified in the A&R LLC Agreement that a specific amendment requires the approval or action of certain persons, the A&R LLC Agreement may only be amended with the consent of Cresco Corp and Cresco Members holding a majority of the outstanding Common Units.

 

-111-


Merger, Sale or Other Disposition of Assets

Cresco Corp shall have the power and authority to effectuate the sale, lease, transfer, exchange or other disposition of any, all or substantially all of the assets of Cresco (including the exercise or grant of any conversion, option, privilege or subscription right or any other right available in connection with any assets at any time held by Cresco) or the merger, consolidation, reorganization or other combination of Cresco with or into another entity.

Treatment of Cresco as a Partnership for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes

The Cresco Members intend that Cresco be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and, if applicable, state or local income tax purposes. Each Cresco Member and Cresco will file all tax returns and will otherwise take all tax and financial reporting positions in a manner consistent with such treatment.

Dissolution

Cresco will dissolve, and its affairs will be wound up, upon the occurrence of any of the following:

 

   

the decision of Cresco Corp together with the holders of a majority of the then- outstanding Common Units entitled to vote to dissolve Cresco;

 

   

a dissolution of Cresco under the ILLCA; or

 

   

the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of Cresco under the ILLCA.

Except as otherwise provided in the A&R LLC Agreement, Cresco is intended to have perpetual existence. The withdrawal of a Cresco Member shall not cause a dissolution of Cresco and Cresco shall continue in existence subject to the terms and conditions of the A&R LLC Agreement.

Procedure on Dissolution

Upon dissolution of Cresco, the procedure is as follows:

 

  1.

the liquidators shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of Cresco’s assets, liabilities and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable;

 

  2.

the liquidators shall cause the notice described in the ILLCA to be mailed to each known creditor of and claimant against Cresco in the manner described thereunder;

 

  3.

the liquidators shall pay, satisfy or discharge from Cresco funds, or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including the establishment of a cash fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidators may reasonably determine): first, all expenses incurred in liquidation; and second, all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of Cresco; and

 

  4.

all remaining assets of Cresco shall be distributed to the Cresco Members in accordance with the terms of the A&R LLC Agreement by the end of the taxable year during which the liquidation of Cresco occurs (or, if later, by ninety (90) days after the date of the liquidation), which shall constitute a complete return to the Cresco Members of their capital contributions to Cresco, a complete distribution to the Cresco Members of their interest in Cresco and all of Cresco’s property. To the extent that a Cresco Member returns funds to Cresco, it has no claim against any other Cresco Member for those funds.

 

-112-


Withdrawal and Removal of the Manager

Cresco Corp may resign as the sole manager of Cresco at any time by giving written notice to the Cresco Members. Unless otherwise specified in the notice, the resignation shall take effect upon receipt thereof by the Cresco Members, and the acceptance of the resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. The Cresco Members have no right under the A&R LLC Agreement to remove or replace Cresco Corp as the sole manager of Cresco. Vacancies in the position of manager occurring for any reason will be filled by Cresco Corp (or, if Cresco Corp has ceased to exist without any successor or assign, then by the holders of a majority in interest of the voting capital stock of Cresco Corp immediately prior to such cessation).

Indemnification

Under the A&R LLC Agreement, in most circumstances, Cresco will indemnify and hold harmless any person to the fullest extent permitted under the ILLCA, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, substituted or replaced (but, in the case of any such amendment, substitution or replacement only to the extent that such amendment, substitution or replacement permits Cresco to provide broader indemnification rights than Cresco is providing immediately prior to such amendment, substitution or replacement), against all expenses, liabilities and losses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person (or one or more of such person’s affiliates) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Cresco Member or is or was serving at the request of Cresco as the manager, an officer, an employee or another agent of Cresco or is or was serving at the request of Cresco as a manager, member, employee or agent of another limited-liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise; provided, however, that no such person shall be indemnified for actions against Cresco, the Manager or Managers or any other Cresco Members, or which are not made in good faith and not or in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Cresco, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding other than by or in the right of Cresco, had reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful, or for any present or future breaches of any representations, warranties or covenants by such person or its affiliates as provided in the A&R LLC Agreement or other agreements to which Cresco is a party.

Expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by any such person in defending a proceeding shall be paid by Cresco as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by Cresco.

Cresco will maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, or make other financial arrangements at its expense, to protect any person indemnified pursuant to the A&R LLC Agreement against certain expenses, liabilities or losses described in the A&R LLC Agreement whether or not Cresco would otherwise have the power to indemnify such person against such expenses, liabilities or losses under the provisions of the A&R LLC Agreement. Cresco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to purchase directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (including employment practices coverage) with a carrier and in an amount determined necessary or desirable as determined in good faith by Cresco Corp.

Books and Records

Cresco shall keep, or cause to be kept, appropriate books and records with respect to Cresco’s business, including all books and records necessary to provide any information, lists and copies of documents required to be provided to each person who was a Cresco Member during each fiscal year of Cresco as is reasonably necessary for the preparation of such person’s U.S. federal and applicable state income tax returns.

Tax Matters

All decisions to make or refrain from making any tax elections will be determined by Cresco Corp. Cresco Corp is authorized to represent Cresco, at Cresco’s expense, in connection with all examinations of Cresco’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings. Each Cresco Member agrees to cooperate with Cresco Corp and to do or refrain from doing any or all things with regard to all things reasonably required by Cresco

 

-113-


Corp to conduct such proceedings. Cresco Corp shall keep all Cresco Members fully advised on a current basis of any contacts by or discussions with the tax authorities, and the Cresco Members shall have the right to observe and participate through representatives of their own choosing (at their sole expense) in any tax proceedings.

TAX RECEIVABLE AGREEMENT

In connection with the Business Combination, Cresco Corp will enter into a tax receivable agreement with Cresco, the Cresco Members and the Cresco LTIP Unitholders (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”). Cresco Corp expects to obtain an increase in its share of the tax basis of the assets of Cresco when a Cresco Member receives cash or Subordinate Voting Shares in connection with a redemption or exchange of such Cresco Member’s Common Units for Subordinate Voting Shares or cash (such basis increase is referred to as the “Basis Adjustments”).

The Tax Receivable Agreement provides for the payment by Cresco Corp to Cresco Members and Cresco LTIP Unitholders of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that Cresco Corp actually realizes, or in some circumstances is deemed to realize, as a result of the redemption and exchange transactions described above, including increases in the tax basis of the assets of Cresco arising from such transactions, tax basis increases attributable to payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement and deductions attributable to imputed interest and other payments of interest pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement. Cresco Corp expects to benefit from the remaining 15% of tax benefits, if any, that Cresco Corp may actually realize.

Cresco intends to treat such acquisition of Common Units as a direct purchase by Cresco of Common Units from a Cresco Member for U.S. federal income and other applicable tax purposes, regardless of whether such Common Units are surrendered by a Cresco Member to Cresco, Cresco Corp or the Company upon the exercise by Cresco Corp of its election to acquire such Common Units directly or the exercise by Cresco Corp to assign its rights to acquire such Common Units directly to the Company. Basis Adjustments may have the effect of reducing the amounts that Cresco Corp may otherwise owe in the future to various tax authorities. The Basis Adjustments may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets. The actual Basis Adjustments, as well as any amounts paid to the Cresco Members under the Tax Receivable Agreement, will vary depending on a number of factors, including:

 

   

the timing of any subsequent redemptions or exchanges—for instance, the increase in any tax deductions will vary depending on the fair value, which may fluctuate over time, of the depreciable or amortizable assets of Cresco at the time of each redemption or exchange;

 

   

the price of Subordinate Voting Shares at the time of redemptions or exchanges—the Basis Adjustments, as well as any related increase in any tax deductions, is directly related to the price of Subordinate Voting Shares at the time of each redemption or exchange;

 

   

the extent to which such redemptions or exchanges are taxable—if a redemption or exchange is not taxable for any reason, increased tax deductions will not be available; and

 

   

the amount and timing of Cresco Corp’s income—the Tax Receivable Agreement generally will require Cresco Corp to pay 85% of the tax benefits as and when those benefits are treated as realized under the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement. If Cresco Corp does not have taxable income, it generally will not be required (absent a change of control or other circumstances requiring an early termination payment) to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for that taxable year because no tax benefits will have been actually realized. However, any tax benefits that do not result in realized tax benefits in a given taxable year will likely generate tax attributes that may be utilized to generate tax benefits in previous or future taxable years. The utilization of any such tax attributes will result in payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Cresco will have in effect an election under Section 754 of the U.S. Tax Code effective for each taxable year in which a redemption or exchange of Common Units for Subordinate Voting Shares or cash occurs. These Tax Receivable Agreement payments are not conditioned upon any continued ownership interest in either Cresco or the Company by any Cresco Member. The rights of each Member under the Tax Receivable Agreement are assignable to transferees of its Common Units (other than Cresco Corp as transferee pursuant to subsequent redemptions or exchanges of the transferred Common Units), subject to the satisfaction of certain requirements.

 

-114-


For purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreement, cash savings in income and franchise taxes will be computed by comparing Cresco Corp’s actual income and franchise tax liability to the amount of such taxes that Cresco Corp would have been required to pay had there been no Basis Adjustments and had the Tax Receivable Agreement not been entered into. The Tax Receivable Agreement will generally apply to each taxable year in which the Tax Receivable Agreement remains effective, beginning with the first taxable year ending after the completion of the Business Combination. There is no maximum term for the Tax Receivable Agreement; however, the Tax Receivable Agreement may be terminated by Cresco Corp pursuant to an early termination procedure that requires Cresco Corp to pay the Cresco Members and Cresco LTIP Unitholders an agreed upon amount equal to the estimated present value of the remaining payments to be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement (calculated based on certain assumptions, including regarding tax rates and utilization of the Basis Adjustments).

The payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement are obligations of Cresco Corp and not of the Company or Cresco. The actual timing and amount of any payments that may be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement will vary. Any payments made by Cresco Corp to Cresco Members and Cresco LTIP Unitholders under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally reduce the amount of overall cash flow that might have otherwise been available to Cresco Corp (or to the Company or Cresco) and, to the extent that Cresco Corp is unable to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, the unpaid amounts generally will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid by Cresco Corp.

Decisions made by Cresco Corp in the course of running its business, such as with respect to mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes in control, may influence the timing and amount of payments that are received by a Cresco Member or Cresco LTIP Unitholder under the Tax Receivable Agreement. For example, the earlier disposition of assets following a transaction that results in a Basis Adjustment will generally accelerate payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and increase the present value of such payments.

The Tax Receivable Agreement provides that if (i) Cresco Corp materially breaches any of its material obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement; (ii) certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations, or other changes of control were to occur; or (iii) Cresco Corp elects an early termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement, then Cresco Corp’s (or its successor’s) obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement would accelerate and become due and payable, based on certain assumptions, including an assumption that Cresco Corp would have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize all potential future tax benefits that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement.

As a result, (i) Cresco Corp could be required to make cash payments to the Cresco Members and Cresco LTIP Unitholders that are greater than the specified percentage of the actual benefits it ultimately realizes in respect of the tax benefits that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement, and (ii) if Cresco Corp elects to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement early, Cresco Corp would be required to make an immediate cash payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future tax benefits that are the subject of the Tax Receivable Agreement, which payment may be made significantly in advance of the actual realization, if any, of such future tax benefits. In these situations, Cresco Corp’s obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement could have a material adverse effect on its or the Company’s liquidity and could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations, or other changes of control. There can be no assurance that Cresco Corp will be able to finance its obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be based on the tax reporting positions that Cresco Corp determines. If any such position is subject to a challenge by a taxing authority the outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially affect a recipient’s payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, then Cresco Corp will not be permitted to settle or fail to contest such challenge without the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of each Cresco Member that directly or indirectly owns at least 10% of the outstanding Common Units and LTIP Units. Cresco Corp will not be reimbursed for any cash payments previously made to any Cresco Member pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement if any tax benefits initially claimed by Cresco Corp are subsequently challenged by a taxing authority and ultimately disallowed. Instead, in such circumstances, any excess cash payments made by Cresco Corp to a Cresco Member or Cresco LTIP Unitholder will be netted against any future cash payments

 

-115-


that Cresco Corp might otherwise be required to make under the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement. However, Cresco Corp might not determine that it has effectively made an excess cash payment to the Cresco Members or Cresco LTIP Unitholders for a number of years following the initial time of such payment and, if Cresco Corp’s tax reporting positions are challenged by a taxing authority, it will not be permitted to reduce any future cash payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement until any such challenge is finally settled or determined. As a result, it is possible that Cresco Corp could make cash payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement that are substantially greater than its actual cash tax savings.

Payments are generally due under the Tax Receivable Agreement within a specified period of time following the filing of Cresco Corp’s U.S. federal income tax return (or, if Cresco Corp becomes a member of an affiliated or consolidated group of corporations that files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return pursuant to Section 1501 of the U.S. Tax Code or any provision of U.S. state or local law, then such consolidated U.S. federal income tax return) for the taxable year with respect to which the payment obligation arises, although interest on such payments will begin to accrue at a rate of LIBOR plus 100 basis points from the due date (without extensions) of such tax return. Any late payments that may be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue to accrue interest at LIBOR plus 500 basis points until such payments are made, including any late payments that Cresco Corp may subsequently make because Cresco Corp did not have enough available cash to satisfy its payment obligations at the time at which they originally arose.

SUPPORT AGREEMENT

Pursuant to the support agreement entered into by and among the Company, Cresco Corp and Cresco (the “Support Agreement”), the Company will agree that, so long as any Common Units not owned by Cresco Corp or its affiliates are outstanding or Common Units are issuable pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of any outstanding securities of Cresco, the Company shall:

 

   

take all such actions and do all such things as are reasonably necessary or desirable to enable and permit Cresco, in accordance with applicable law, to pay and otherwise perform its obligations with respect to the satisfaction of a redemption of Common Units by a holder thereof in respect of each issued and outstanding Common Unit upon a redemption of such Common Units by Cresco and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit Cresco to cause to be delivered Proportionate Voting Shares, Subordinate Voting Shares and/or amounts in cash, as applicable, to the holders of Common Units in accordance with the provisions of the A&R LLC Agreement, together with an amount in cash sufficient to pay any amount to be paid in respect of unpaid distributions with respect to such Common Units (if any);

 

   

take all such actions and do all such things as are reasonably necessary or desirable to enable and permit Cresco Corp, if it elects to effect an exchange of Common Units directly with the holder thereof, in accordance with applicable law, to pay and otherwise perform its obligations with respect to the satisfaction of the redemption or exchange of Common Units by a holder thereof and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit Cresco Corp to cause to be delivered Proportionate Voting Shares, Subordinate Voting Shares and/or amounts in cash, as applicable, to the holders of Common Units in accordance with the provisions of the A&R LLC Agreement, together with an amount in cash sufficient to pay any amount to be paid in respect of unpaid distributions with respect to such Common Units (if any);

 

   

if Cresco Corp so elects, take all such actions and do all things as are reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the exchange of Common Units directly with the holder thereof, in accordance with applicable law, take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary or desirable to cause to be delivered directly Proportionate Voting Shares, Subordinate Voting Shares and/or amounts in cash, as applicable, to the holders of Common Units in accordance with the provisions of the A&R LLC Agreement, together with an amount in cash sufficient to pay any amount to be paid in respect of unpaid distributions with respect to such Common Units (if any); and

 

-116-


   

ensure that Cresco Corp does not exercise its vote as the manager of Cresco to initiate the voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Cresco nor take any action or omit to take any action that is designed to result in the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Cresco.

The Company will further agree that, so long as any Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares (if and when issued) not owned by the Company or its affiliates which are redeemable or exchangeable for Proportionate Voting Shares (or Subordinate Voting Shares, at the election of Cresco Corp and/or Cresco) are outstanding or any Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares are issuable pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of any outstanding securities of Cresco Corp, the Company shall:

 

   

take all such actions and do all such things as are reasonably necessary or desirable to enable and permit Cresco Corp, in accordance with applicable law, to pay and otherwise perform its obligations with respect to the satisfaction of a redemption of Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares by a holder thereof in respect of each issued and outstanding Cresco Corp Redeemable Share upon the redemption of such Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares by Cresco Corp and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit Cresco Corp to cause to be delivered Proportionate Voting Shares, Subordinate Voting Shares and/or amounts in cash, as applicable, to the holders of Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares in accordance with the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Cresco Corp, together with an amount in cash sufficient to pay any amount to be paid in respect of unpaid distributions with respect to such Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares (if any);

 

   

upon the election of Cresco Corp for the Company to effect an exchange directly with a holder of Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares, take all such actions and do all things as are reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the exchange of Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares directly with the holder thereof, in accordance with applicable law, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary or desirable to cause to be delivered directly Proportionate Voting Shares, Subordinate Voting Shares and/or amounts in cash, as applicable, to the holders of Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares in accordance with the provisions of the articles of incorporation of Cresco Corp, together with an amount in cash sufficient to pay any amount to be paid in respect of unpaid distributions (if any) with respect to such Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares; and

 

   

ensure that Cresco Corp is not voluntarily liquidated, dissolved or wound up nor take any action or omit to take any action that is designed to result in the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Cresco Corp.

The Support Agreement provides that in the event that a tender offer, share exchange offer, issuer bid, take-over bid or similar transaction with respect to Proportionate Voting Shares and/or Subordinate Voting Shares is proposed by the Company or is proposed to the Company or its shareholders and is recommended to the Company Board, or is otherwise effected or to be effected with the consent or approval of the Company Board, and the Common Units are not redeemed by Cresco or purchased by Cresco Corp or the Company pursuant to the terms of the A&R LLC Agreement or the Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares (if and when issued) are not redeemed by Cresco Corp or purchased by Cresco Corp or the Company pursuant to the terms of the articles of incorporation of Cresco Corp, the Company will use its reasonable efforts in good faith to take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit holders of Common Units (other than Cresco Corp and its affiliates) and Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares (other than the Company and its affiliates) to participate in such offer to the same extent and on an economically equivalent basis as the holders of Proportionate Voting Shares and/or Subordinate Voting Shares, without discrimination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will use its reasonable efforts in good faith to ensure that holders of Common Units and Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares (if and when issued) may participate in each such offer without being required to redeem Common Units as against Cresco and Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares against Cresco Corp (or, if so required, to ensure that any such retraction, shall be effective only upon, and shall be conditional upon, the closing of such offer and only to the extent necessary to tender or deposit to the offer). Nothing in the Support Agreement will limit the ability of the Company (or any of its subsidiaries including, without limitation, Cresco Corp or Cresco) to make ordinary market purchases of Subordinate Voting Shares in accordance with applicable laws and regulatory and stock exchange requirements.

 

-117-


The Support Agreement provides that while any Common Units (or other rights pursuant to which Common Units may be acquired upon the exercise thereof) other than Common Units held by Cresco Corp or its affiliates are outstanding, and at all times while any Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares (or other rights pursuant to which Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares may be acquired upon the exercise thereof) other than Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares held by the Company or its affiliates are outstanding, the Company will make available such number of Proportionate Voting Shares and/or Subordinate Voting Shares (or other shares or securities into which Proportionate Voting Shares and/or Subordinate Voting Shares may be reclassified or changed) without duplication equal to the sum of (i) the number of Common Units issued and outstanding from time to time; (ii) the number of Common Units issuable upon the exercise of all rights to acquire Common Units outstanding from time to time; (iii) the number of Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares issued and outstanding from time to time; and (iv) the number of Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares issuable upon the exercise of all rights to acquire Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares outstanding from time to time in addition to any additional Proportionate Voting Shares and/or Subordinate Voting Shares as may be required to enable and permit the Company to meet its obligations under the A&R LLC Agreement, the Tax Receivable Agreement and under any other security or commitment pursuant to which the Company may be required to deliver Proportionate Voting Shares and/or Subordinate Voting Shares to any person, to enable and permit Cresco Corp to meet its obligations under each of the A&R LLC Agreement and the Tax Receivable Agreement with respect to the delivery of Proportionate Voting Shares and/or Subordinate Voting Shares and payment of the tax benefits contemplated under the Tax Receivable Agreement and to enable and permit Cresco to meet its obligations under the Support Agreement and under the A&R LLC Agreement.

With the exception of changes for the purpose of (i) adding to the covenants of any or all of the parties; (ii) making such amendments or modifications not inconsistent with the Support Agreement as may be necessary or desirable with respect to matters or questions arising thereunder; or (iii) curing or correcting any ambiguities or defect or inconsistent provision or clerical omission or mistake or manifest errors (provided, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) that the board of directors of each of the Company and Cresco Corp and the manager of Cresco are of the good faith opinion that such amendments are not prejudicial to the rights or interests of the holders of Common Units or Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares), the Support Agreement may not be amended except by agreement in writing executed by Cresco, Cresco Corp, and the Company and approved by the holders of a majority of the Common Units in accordance with the terms of the A&R LLC Agreement and a majority of the Cresco Corp Redeemable Shares in accordance with the terms of the articles of incorporation and the bylaws of Cresco Corp.

To the best of the Company’s knowledge, there are no known existing or potential material conflicts of interest among the Company or a subsidiary of the Company and a director or officer of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company as a result of their outside business interests except that certain of the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ directors and officers serve as directors and officers of other companies, and therefore it is possible that a conflict may arise between their duties to the Company and their duties as a director or officer of such other companies.

PROMOTERS

No person or company has been within the two years immediately preceding the date of this AIF, a promoter of the Company.

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations for U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders (each as defined below) relating to the ownership and disposition of Subordinate Voting Shares. This summary is general in nature and does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a holder of Subordinate Voting Shares in light of its particular circumstances. In addition, this summary does not

 

-129-


address the U.S. federal alternative minimum tax, the Medicare tax on net investment income, U.S. federal estate and gift taxes, U.S. state and local taxes or foreign taxes. This summary deals only with Subordinate Voting Shares held as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the U.S. Tax Code (generally, property held for investment), and does not address tax considerations applicable to any holder of Subordinate Voting Shares that may be subject to special treatment under the United States federal income tax laws, including:

 

   

a bank or other financial institution;

 

   

a tax-exempt or governmental organization;

 

   

a retirement plan or other tax-deferred account (other than with respect to U.S. Holders in the 401(k) Plan),

 

   

a partnership, an S corporation or other entity treated as a partnership or pass-through (or an investor therein);

 

   

an insurance company;

 

   

a mutual fund, regulated investment company or real estate investment trust;

 

   

a person that purchases or sells Subordinate Voting Shares as part of a wash sale for tax purposes;

 

   

a dealer or broker in stocks and securities, or currencies;

 

   

a trader in securities that elects mark-to-market treatment;

 

   

a holder of Subordinate Voting Shares subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the U.S. Tax Code;

 

   

a holder of Subordinate Voting Shares that received Subordinate Voting Shares through the exercise of an employee stock option, through a tax qualified retirement plan or otherwise as compensation;

 

   

a person that owns (or is deemed to own) 5% or more of the outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares;

 

   

a U.S. Holder whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

 

   

a person that holds Subordinate Voting Shares as part of a hedge, straddle, constructive sale, conversion or other integrated transaction;

 

   

controlled foreign corporations” within the meaning of the U.S. Tax Code;

 

   

passive foreign investment companies” within the meaning of the U.S. Tax Code; or

 

   

a U.S. expatriate.

This summary is based on the U.S. Tax Code, Treasury Regulations promulgated under the U.S. Tax Code, and rulings and judicial decisions, all as in effect as of the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations at any time, possibly with retroactive effect. We have not sought, and do not intend to seek, any ruling from the IRS with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following summary, and no assurance can be given that the IRS will agree with the views expressed herein, or that a court will not sustain any challenge by the IRS in the event of litigation.

 

-130-


If a partnership (including any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Subordinate Voting Shares, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A partner in a partnership holding Subordinate Voting Shares should consult its own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of Subordinate Voting Shares.

THIS DISCUSSION IS INTENDED ONLY AS A GENERAL SUMMARY OF CERTAIN MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO A HOLDER OF SHARES AND SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DISCUSSION OF CANADIAN TAX CONSIDERATIONS HEREIN. WE URGE BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF SHARES TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE OFFER OR THE MERGER IN LIGHT OF THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

U.S. Holders.

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” of Subordinate Voting Shares means a holder that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

 

   

An individual citizen or resident of the U.S.;

 

   

A corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation) created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S. or any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

 

   

An estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

 

   

A trust if it: (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the U.S. and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust; or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

With respect to the first bullet point above, an individual is generally treated as a resident of the U.S. for U.S. federal income tax purposes in any calendar year if the individual either (i) is the holder of a green card, generally during any point of such year, or (ii) is present in the U.S. for at least 31 days in that calendar year, and for an aggregate of at least 183 days during the three-year period ending on the last day of the current calendar year. For purposes of the 183-day calculation (often referred to as the Substantial Presence Test), all of the days present in the U.S. during the current year, one-third of the days present in the U.S. during the immediately preceding year, and one-sixth of the days present in the second preceding year are counted. Residents are generally treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if they were U.S. citizens. Residents who are also residents or citizens of Canada should also review the discussion of Canadian tax considerations and are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of Subordinate Voting Shares. Note that the Company expects to be treated as both a Canadian company for Canadian tax purposes and a U.S. company for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, we expect the Company will not be eligible for benefits under the income tax treaty between the U.S. and Canada.

Non-U.S. Holders.

A “Non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of Subordinate Voting Shares (other than an entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is not a U.S. Holder.

Tax Classification as a U.S. Domestic Company

As a result of the Business Combination, pursuant to Section 7874(b) of the U.S. Tax Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, notwithstanding that the Company is organized under the provisions of the BCBCA in Canada, solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is anticipated that the Company will be treated as a U.S. domestic corporation.

 

-131-


The Company anticipates that it will experience a number of significant and complicated U.S. federal income tax consequences as a result of being treated both as a Canadian company for Canadian income tax purposes and as a U.S. domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and this summary does not attempt to describe all such U.S. federal income tax consequences. Section 7874 of the U.S. Tax Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder do not address all the possible tax consequences that arise from the Company being treated as a U.S. domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, there may be additional or unforeseen U.S. federal income tax consequences to the Company that are not discussed in this summary. Please also note that most, but not all, states adopt Section 7874 of the U.S. Tax Code (California is an exception) and holders should discuss potential differences between federal and state treatment with their own tax advisors.

Generally, the Company is expected be subject to U.S. federal income tax on all of its taxable income and will be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return annually with the IRS. The Company anticipates that it will also be subject to tax in Canada. It is unclear whether the Company will be entitled to foreign tax credits under the U.S. Tax Code and how the foreign tax credit rules will operate in certain circumstances, as a result of the Company being treated as a U.S. domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the taxation of the Company also in Canada. Accordingly, it is possible that the Company will be subject to double taxation with respect to all or part of its taxable income. It is anticipated that such U.S. and Canadian tax treatment will continue indefinitely and that the Subordinate Voting Shares will be treated indefinitely as shares in a U.S. domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, notwithstanding future transfers, and may also be considered shares in a Canadian corporation for Canadian tax purposes. The remainder of this summary assumes that the Company will be treated as a U.S. domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Tax Considerations for U.S. Holders

Distributions

The Company has not and does not foresee making distributions with respect to its Subordinate Voting Shares. Distributions of cash or property with respect to Subordinate Voting Shares will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Dividends will generally be taxable to a non-corporate U.S. Holder at the preferential rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided that such holder meets certain holding period and other requirements. Distributions in excess thereof will generally be treated first, as a return of capital and be applied against, and reduce, a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Subordinate Voting Shares, but not below zero, and thereafter be treated as capital gain and treated as described under “Sale or Other Taxable Disposition” below. Such distributions may also be subject to Canadian withholding taxes.

Dividends received by corporate U.S. Holders may be eligible for a dividends received deduction, subject to certain restrictions relating to, among others, the corporate U.S. Holder’s taxable income, holding period and debt financing.

Sale or Other Taxable Disposition

Upon the sale or other taxable disposition of Subordinate Voting Shares, a U.S. Holder will generally recognize a capital gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the amount realized by such U.S. Holder in connection with such sale or other taxable disposition, and (ii) such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such stock. Such capital gain or loss will generally be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period respecting such stock is more than twelve months. U.S. Holders who are individuals are eligible for preferential rates of taxation respecting their long-term capital gains. Deductions for capital losses are subject to limitations.

Foreign Tax Credit Limitations

Because it is anticipated that the Company will be subject to tax both as a U.S. domestic corporation and as a Canadian corporation, a U.S. Holder may pay, through withholding, Canadian tax, as well as U.S. federal income tax, with respect to dividends paid on Subordinate Voting Shares. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. Holder generally may elect for any taxable year to receive either a credit or a deduction for foreign income taxes paid by the holder during the year. Complex limitations apply to the foreign tax credit, including a general limitation that the credit

 

-132-


cannot exceed the proportionate share of a taxpayer’s U.S. federal income tax that the taxpayer’s foreign source taxable income bears to the taxpayer’s worldwide taxable income. In applying this limitation, items of income and deduction must be classified, under complex rules, as either foreign source or U.S. source. The status of the Company as a U.S. domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes will cause dividends paid by the Company to be treated as U.S. source rather than foreign source for this purpose. As a result, a foreign tax credit may be unavailable to U.S. Holders for any Canadian tax paid on dividends received from the Company. Similarly, to the extent a sale or disposition of the Subordinate Voting Shares by a U.S. Holder results in Canadian tax payable by the U.S. Holder (for example, in the event the Subordinate Voting Shares constitute taxable Canadian property within the meaning of the ITA), a U.S. foreign tax credit may be unavailable to the U.S. Holder for such Canadian tax. In each case, however, the U.S. Holder should be able to take a deduction for the U.S. Holder’s Canadian tax paid, provided that the U.S. Holder has not elected to credit other foreign taxes during the same taxable year. The foreign tax credit rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisors regarding these rules.

Foreign Currency

The amount of any distribution paid to a U.S. Holder in foreign currency, or the amount of proceeds paid in foreign currency on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Subordinate Voting Shares, generally will be equal to the U.S. dollar value of such foreign currency based on the exchange rate applicable on the date of receipt (regardless of whether such foreign currency is converted into U.S. dollars at that time). A U.S. Holder will have a basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any U.S. Holder who converts or otherwise disposes of the foreign currency after the date of receipt may have a foreign currency exchange gain or loss that would be treated as ordinary income or loss, and generally will be U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit purposes. Different rules apply to U.S. Holders who use the accrual method of tax accounting. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own U.S. tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of receiving, owning, and disposing of foreign currency.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

U.S. backup withholding (currently 24%) is imposed upon certain payments to persons that fail (or are unable) to furnish the information required pursuant to U.S. information reporting requirements. Distributions to U.S. Holders will generally be exempt from backup withholding, provided the U.S. Holder meets applicable certification requirements, including providing a U.S. taxpayer identification number on a properly completed IRS Form W-9, or otherwise establishes an exemption. The Company must report annually to the IRS and to each U.S. Holder the amount of distributions and dividends paid to that U.S. Holder and the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of Subordinate Voting Shares, unless such U.S. Holder is an exempt recipient.

Backup withholding does not represent an additional tax. Any amounts withheld from a payment to a U.S. Holder under the backup withholding rules will generally be allowed as a credit against such U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, and may entitle such U.S. Holder to a refund, provided the required information and returns are timely furnished by such U.S. Holder to the IRS.

Tax Considerations for Non-U.S. Holders

Distributions

The Company has not and does not foresee making distributions with respect to its Subordinate Voting Shares. Distributions of cash or property on Subordinate Voting Shares will constitute U.S. source dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess thereof will first constitute a return of capital and be applied against and reduce a Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Subordinate Voting Shares, but not below zero, and thereafter be treated as capital gain and will be treated as described under “Sale or Other Taxable Disposition” below.

 

-133-


Subject to the discussions under “Information Reporting and Backup Withholding” above and under “FATCA” below, any dividend paid to a Non-U.S. Holder of Subordinate Voting Shares generally will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30%, or such lower rate as may be specified under an applicable income tax treaty, unless the dividend is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the U.S. In order to receive a reduced treaty rate, a Non-U.S. Holder must provide its financial intermediary with an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or an appropriate successor form), properly certifying such holder’s eligibility for the reduced rate. If a Non-U.S. Holder holds Subordinate Voting Shares through a financial institution or other agent acting on the Non-U.S. Holder’s behalf, the Non-U.S. Holder will be required to provide appropriate documentation to such agent, and the Non-U.S. Holder’s agent will then be required to provide such (or a similar) certification to us, either directly or through other intermediaries. A Non-U.S. Holder that does not timely furnish the required certification, but that qualifies for a reduced treaty rate, generally may apply for and obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under any applicable income tax treaty.

Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder that are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the U.S. (or, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment, or fixed base, of the Non-U.S. Holder) generally will be exempt from the withholding tax described above and instead will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to U.S. Holders. In such case, the Company will not have to withhold U.S. federal tax so long as the Non-U.S. Holder timely complies with the applicable certification and disclosure requirements. In order to obtain this exemption from withholding tax, a Non-U.S. Holder must provide its financial intermediary with an IRS Form W-8ECI properly certifying its eligibility for such exemption. Any such effectively connected dividends received by a corporate Non-U.S. Holder may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty), as adjusted for certain items. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

Sale or Other Taxable Disposition

Subject to the discussions under “Information Reporting and Backup Withholding” above and under “FATCA” below, any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of Subordinate Voting Shares by a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless:

 

   

the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the U.S. (or, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment, or fixed base, of the Non-U.S. Holder);

 

   

the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition, and certain other conditions are met; or

 

   

the rules of the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 (“FIRPTA”) apply to treat the gain as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business.

A Non-U.S. Holder who has gain that is described in the first bullet point immediately above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the gain derived from the sale or other disposition pursuant to regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates in the same manner as if it were a U.S. Holder. In addition, a corporate Non-U.S. Holder described in the first bullet point immediately above may be subject to the branch profits tax equal to 30% of its effectively connected earnings and profits (or at such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty), as adjusted for certain items.

A Non-U.S. Holder who meets the requirements described in the second bullet point immediately above will be subject to a flat 30% tax (or a lower tax rate specified by an applicable tax treaty) on the gain derived from the sale or other disposition, which gain may be offset by certain U.S. source capital losses (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the U.S.), provided the Non-U.S. Holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses.

 

-134-


With respect to the third bullet point above, pursuant to FIRPTA, in general, a Non-U.S. Holder is subject to U.S. federal income tax in the same manner as a U.S. Holder on any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of a “U.S. real property interest” (“USRPI”). For purposes of these rules, a USRPI generally includes stock in a U.S. corporation if such corporation’s interests in U.S. real property constitute 50% or more, by value, of the sum of the U.S. corporation’s (i) assets used in a trade or business, (ii) U.S. real property interests, and (iii) interests in real property outside of the U.S. A U.S. corporation whose interests in U.S. real property constitute 50% or more, by value, of the sum of such assets is commonly referred to as a U.S. real property holding corporation (“USRPHC”). If Subordinate Voting Shares are treated as regularly traded on an established securities market (within the meaning of Section 897(c)(3) of the U.S. Tax Code), FIRPTA generally will not apply to a disposition of Subordinate Voting Shares by a Non-U.S. Holder that owns directly (or is deemed to own pursuant to attribution rules) 5% or less of the Subordinate Voting Shares at any time during the relevant period, in which case such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at rates generally applicable to U.S. Holders, except that the branch profits tax will not apply. The Company believes that it is not, and has not been, a USRPHC at any time during the relevant five-year period.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

With respect to distributions and dividends on Subordinate Voting Shares, the Company must report annually to the IRS and to each Non-U.S. Holder the amount of distributions and dividends paid to such Non-U.S. Holder and any tax withheld with respect to such distributions and dividends, regardless of whether withholding was required with respect thereto. Copies of the information returns reporting such dividends and distributions and withholding also may be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is established under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty, tax information exchange agreement or other arrangement. A Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to backup withholding for dividends and distributions paid to such Non-U.S. Holder unless either (i) such Non-U.S. Holder certifies under penalty of perjury that it is not a U.S. person (as defined in the U.S. Tax Code), which certification is generally satisfied by providing a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, or IRS Form W-8ECI (or appropriate successor form), and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a U.S. person, or (ii) such Non-U.S. Holder otherwise establishes an exemption.

With respect to sales or other dispositions of Subordinate Voting Shares, information reporting and, depending on the circumstances, backup withholding will apply to the proceeds of a sale or other disposition of Subordinate Voting Shares within the U.S. or conducted through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries, unless either (i) such Non-U.S. Holder certifies under penalty of perjury that it is not a U.S. person (as defined in the U.S. Tax Code), which certification is generally satisfied by providing a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, or IRS Form W-8ECI (or appropriate successor form), and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a U.S. person, or (ii) such Non-U.S. Holder otherwise establishes an exemption.

Whether with respect to distributions and dividends, or the sale or other disposition of Subordinate Voting Shares, backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

FATCA

Withholding taxes may be imposed pursuant to FATCA (Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Tax Code) on certain types of payments made to non-U.S. financial institutions and certain other non-U.S. entities. Specifically, except as discussed below, a 30% withholding tax may be imposed on dividends on, or gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition (including certain distributions treated as a sale or other disposition) of, Subordinate Voting Shares paid to a “foreign financial institution” or a “non-financial foreign entity” (each as defined in the U.S. Tax Code).

Such 30% FATCA withholding will not apply to a foreign financial institution if such institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations, or otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. The diligence and reporting obligations include, among others, entering into an agreement with the U.S. Department of Treasury pursuant to which the foreign financial institution must (i) undertake to identify accounts held by certain “specified United States persons” or “United States-owned foreign entities” (each as defined in the U.S. Tax Code), (ii) annually report certain information about such accounts, and (iii) withhold 30% on certain payments to non-compliant foreign financial institutions and certain other account holders. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the U.S. governing FATCA may be subject to different rules.

 

-135-


The 30% FATCA withholding will not apply to a non-financial foreign entity which either certifies that it does not have any “substantial United States owners” (as defined in the U.S. Tax Code), furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial United States owner, or otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules.

Under the applicable Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance, withholding under FATCA (i) generally applies currently to payments of dividends on Subordinate Voting Shares, and (ii) will apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of such stock (including certain distributions treated as a sale or other disposition) on or after January 1, 2019.

United States Tax Classification of the Company

The Company, which is and will continue to be a Canadian corporation as of the date of this AIF, is also expected to be classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a United States corporation under Section 7874 of the U.S. Tax Code. Under Section 7874 of the U.S. Tax Code, a corporation created or organized outside the United States (i.e., a non-United States corporation) will nevertheless be treated as a United States corporation for United States federal income tax purposes (such treatment is referred to as an inversion if each of the following three conditions are met (i) the non-United States corporation acquires, directly or indirectly, or is treated as acquiring under applicable United States Treasury Regulations, substantially all of the assets held, directly or indirectly, by a United States corporation or United States trade or business, (ii) after the acquisition, the former owners of the acquired United States corporation or business hold at least 80% (by vote or value) of the shares of the non-United States corporation by reason of their ownership of the United States acquired corporation, trade or business, and (iii) after the acquisition, the non-United States corporation’s expanded affiliated group does not have substantial business activities in the non-United States corporation’s country of organization or incorporation when compared to the expanded affiliated group’s total business.

The Company expects and intends to be treated as a United States corporation for United States federal income tax purposes under Section 7874 of the U.S. Tax Code and is expected to be subject to United States federal income tax on its worldwide income indefinitely. However, for Canadian tax purposes, the Company is expected, regardless of any application of Section 7874 of the U.S. Tax Code, to be treated as a Canadian resident company (as defined in the ITA) for Canadian income tax purposes.

The Company will be subject to taxation both in Canada and the United States and also may not qualify for certain U.S.-Canada income tax treaty benefits, which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.

It is unlikely that the Company will pay any dividends on the common shares in the foreseeable future. However, dividends received by shareholders who are residents of Canada for purpose of the ITA will be subject to U.S. withholding tax. Any such dividends may not qualify for a reduced rate of withholding tax under the Canada-United States tax treaty. In addition, a foreign tax credit or a deduction in respect of foreign taxes may not be available.

As described above, dividends received by U.S. Holders will not be subject to U.S. withholding tax but will be subject to Canadian withholding tax. Dividends paid by the Company will be characterized as U.S. source income for purposes of the foreign tax credit rules under the U.S. Tax Code. Accordingly, U.S. Holders generally will not be able to claim a credit for any Canadian tax withheld unless, depending on the circumstances, they have an excess foreign tax credit limitation due to other foreign source income that is subject to a low or zero rate of foreign tax.

Dividends received by shareholders that are neither Canadian nor U.S. shareholders will be subject to U.S. withholding tax and will also be subject to Canadian withholding tax. These dividends may not qualify for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax under any income tax treaty otherwise applicable to a shareholder of the Company, subject to examination of the relevant treaty.

Because Subordinate Voting Shares will be treated as shares of a U.S. domestic corporation, the U.S. gift, estate and generation-skipping transfer tax rules generally apply to a non-U.S. shareholder of common shares.

CRESCO LABS ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2020 RESULTS

40% growth of Cresco brands QoQ in California

CHICAGO – May 28, 2020 – Cresco Labs Inc. (CSE: CL) (OTCQX: CRLBF) (FSE: 6CQ) (“Cresco” or the “Company”) one of the largest vertically integrated multistate cannabis operators in the United States, today released its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020. All financial information presented in this release is in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted.

Management Commentary

Charles Bachtell, Co-founder and CEO of Cresco Labs stated, “I couldn’t be more proud of what our team has achieved year to date – we have become an even better operating company since the beginning of the year. We generated another sequential quarter of substantial revenue growth from the same asset base as pro-forma Q4 and our fourth consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA. I’m equally proud of the expansion to our operations during this quarter. In Q1 we built, staffed, integrated, and refined our operations in the largest and most important cannabis markets in the U.S. This positions us incredibly well to see the fruits of that labor in the coming quarters. We continue with our very clear focus, having the most strategic geographic footprint possible and gaining meaningful, material positions in those markets. With our major CapEx investments behind us, our outstanding transactions substantially completed, increased capacity coming online, and additional dispensaries opening, Cresco expects to deliver substantial growth in 2020.”

First Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights

Operating Results

 

Revenue for the first quarter of 2020 was $66.4 million, an increase of 60% over Q4’19 revenue and 26% over Q4’19 net pro-forma revenue1 on the same asset base. Revenue growth was driven by increased cultivation and retail efficiency in Illinois and Pennsylvania, along with operational improvements in California.

 

Operational Gross Profit3 as a Percentage of Revenue was 48% in the quarter as compared to 51% the prior quarter. Operational Gross Profit margin was lower as lower margin revenue in California made up a higher portion of total revenue, offset by increased efficiency in Illinois and Pennsylvania.

 

1 

Pro-forma revenue for Q4’19 of $56.0 million excluding $3.4 million in revenue that would have been considered intercompany. Pro-forma revenue includes the impact of pending acquisitions and certain minority investments.

2 

On nine stores that were open Q1 2019.

3

SG&A was $46.7 million. SG&A included $11.8 million in non-core costs associated with the close of three transactions and $1.4 million in share-based compensation. Excluding these non-core and non-cash items, SG&A would have been $33.4 million or 50% of revenue.

 

Net loss4 was $13.4 million, which includes unrealized gains on mark-to-market instruments that fluctuate until obligations are settled, changes in fair value of biological assets, interest expense and tax expense.

 

Adjusted EBITDA5 was $3.2 million, an increase of 11%. This was achieved while consolidating Origin House during the quarter and was driven primarily from higher revenues and increased operational gross profit in Illinois and Pennsylvania.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

Operational gross profit, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-IFRS measures and do not have standardized definitions under IFRS. The Company has also provided unaudited pro-forma financial information, which assumes that closed and pending mergers and acquisitions in 2019 are included in the Company’s financial results as of the beginning of the quarterly and annual periods in 2019. This measure also includes revenue for certain pending or completed minority investments, for which revenue is not consolidated under IFRS rules. The Company has provided the non-IFRS financial measures, which are not calculated or presented in accordance with IFRS, as supplemental information and in addition to the financial measures that are calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS. These supplemental non-IFRS financial measures are presented because management has evaluated the financial results both including and excluding the adjusted items and believe that the supplemental non-IFRS financial measures presented provide additional perspective and insights when analyzing the core operating performance of the business. These supplemental non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should only be considered in conjunction with, the IFRS financial measures presented herein. Accordingly, the following information provides reconciliations of the supplemental non-IFRS financial measures, presented herein to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Cresco Labs Inc. (“Cresco” or the “Company”), formerly known as Randsburg International Gold Corp. was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia under the Company Act (British Columbia) on July 6, 1990. On December 30, 1997, the Company changed its name from Randsburg Gold Corporation to Randsburg International Gold Corp. (“Randsburg”) and consolidated its common shares on a five old for one new basis.

On November 30, 2018, in connection with the reverse takeover (the “Transaction”), the Company (i) consolidated its outstanding Randsburg Common Shares on an 812.63 old for one (1) new basis, and (ii) filed an alteration to its Notice of Articles with the British Columbia Registrar of Companies to change its name from Randsburg to Cresco Labs Inc. and to amend the rights and restrictions of its existing classes of common shares, redesignate such classes as the class of Subordinate Voting Shares (“SVS”) and create the classes of Proportionate Voting Shares (“PVS”) and the Super Voting Shares (“MVS”).

Pursuant to the Transaction, among the Company (then Randsburg) and Cresco Labs, LLC (“Cresco Labs”), a series of transactions was completed on November 30, 2018 resulting in a reorganization of Cresco Labs and Randsburg and pursuant to which Randsburg became the indirect parent and sole voting unitholder of Cresco. The transaction constituted a reverse takeover of Randsburg by Cresco Labs under applicable securities laws. Cresco Labs was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of Illinois on October 8, 2013 and is governed by the Pre-Combination LLC Agreement. The Pre-Combination LLC Agreement was further amended and restated in connection with the completion of the Transaction.

On December 3, 2018, the Company began trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the ticker symbol “CL.” On March 6, 2019, Cresco shares were approved to be quoted on the Over-the-Counter Market (“OTC”) and is traded under the ticker symbol “CRLBF.” On August 13, 2019, the Company began trading its Euro-dominated shares on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (“FSE”) and are trading under the symbol “6CQ.”

The Company is licensed to cultivate, manufacture and sell retail and medical cannabis and retail and medical cannabis products and operates a retail, wholesale and online nicotine vape business. The Company operates in and/or has ownership interests in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, California, Maryland, Nevada, Arizona, New York, Massachusetts, and Canada, pursuant to the Illinois Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act, the Pennsylvania Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Act, the Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program, the California Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act, the Maryland Medical Marijuana Act, the Nevada Revised Statutes section 453A, the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act, the New York Compassionate Care Act, the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission and the Canada Tobacco and Vaping Products Act, respectively.

The Company’s head office is located at Suite 110, 400 W Erie St, Chicago, IL 60654 and the registered office is located at Suite 2200, 1055 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 2E9.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 

  (a)

Basis of Preparation

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting, which was adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

Cresco Labs Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

(Unaudited)

 

 

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with accounting policies, consistently applied, critical estimates, and methods described in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all information and disclosures required in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on May 28, 2020.

 

  (b)

Basis of Measurement

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, except for biological assets which are measured at fair value less cost to sell; certain investments in associates, which are accounted for under the equity method; loans receivable measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”); and certain investments, derivative instruments, and contingent consideration, which are recorded at fair value. Historical cost is generally based upon the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets and the contractual obligation for liabilities.

Management has applied judgements in concluding that there remain no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast doubt upon the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, which judgments include effect of subsequent events (see Note 25); and the Company’s ability to realize its assets and settle its obligations in the normal course of operations for at least twelve months from the date of the financial statements.

 

  (c)

Functional and Presentation Currency

The Company’s functional currency and that of the majority of its subsidiaries, as determined by management, is the United States (“U.S.”) dollar. The Company’s presentation currency is the U.S. dollar. As such, the accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. All references to “C$” refer to Canadian dollars. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are re-measured into the functional currency using period-end exchange rates. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in Other expense (income), net in the unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Assets and liabilities of foreign operations having a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and revenues and expenses at the rate of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions during the period. Gains or losses on translation of foreign subsidiaries and net investments in foreign operations are included in other comprehensive income.

 

  (d)

Basis of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries with intercompany balances and transactions eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are those entities over which the Company has the power over the investee, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. The following are Cresco’s wholly owned subsidiaries and entities over which the Company has control as of March 31, 2020:

  (e)

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are recorded at cost, less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date or date of consolidation/control. Amortization of definite-lived intangible assets is recorded on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which do not exceed the contractual period, if any, over the following terms:

 

Market Related Intangibles

   12 – 18 months

Customer Relationships

   7 – 19 years

Non-Compete Agreements

   4 – 5 years

Trade Names

   10 years

Permit Application Fees

   1 – 2 years

The estimated useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each year end, and any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively. Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization. The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of licenses, which, for valuation purposes, represent the future benefits associated with the Company’s cultivation, processing, and dispensary licenses. Absent such license intangibles, the Company cannot continue as a going concern and as such, there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which these assets are expected to generate future cash inflows to the Company.

 

  (f)

Significant Accounting Judgements, Estimates, and Assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements under IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates, and assumptions about the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities. Estimates and related assumptions are based on historical experience and other relevant factors. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis for reasonableness and relevancy. Where revisions are required, they are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised for the current as well as future periods that are affected.

Significant judgements, estimates, and assumptions within these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, unless stated herein, are consistently applied to the annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

BIOLOGICAL ASSETS

 

The Company’s biological assets consist of cannabis plants. The changes in the carrying value of biological assets to March 31, 2020 from December 31, 2019, consisted of the following:

 

($ in thousands)       

Biological assets at January 1, 2020

Biological assets are measured at fair value less costs to sell until harvest. All production costs related to biological assets are expensed as incurred. The fair value measurements for biological assets have been categorized as Level 3 fair values based on the inputs to the valuation technique used. The fair value was determined using an expected

cash flow model which assumes the biological assets at the balance sheet date will grow to maturity, be harvested and converted into finished goods inventory and sold in the retail and medical cannabis market.

This model utilizes the following significant assumptions:

 

Inputs and assumptions

  

Calculation method

  

Effect changes of unobservable inputs has on fair
value

Selling price per gram, less cost to sell    Based on observable market data or calculated wholesale prices with reasonable margins.    An increase in selling price per gram would increase the fair value of biological assets.
Attrition rate    Based on weighted average number of plants lost during each stage of production.    An increase in attrition rate would result in a decrease to the fair value of biological assets.
Average yield per plant    Based on the average number of grams of dried cannabis inventory expected to be harvested from each cannabis plant.    An increase to the average yield per plant would result in an increase to the fair value of biological assets.
Cumulative stage of completion in the production process    Based on an average number of days in production over a total average grow cycle of between 14 and 18 weeks.    An increase to the average stage of completion of the plants would result in an increase to the fair value of biological assets.

The Company’s estimates are, by their nature, subject to change and differences from the above assumptions will be reflected in the unrealized gain or loss on changes in fair value of biological assets in future periods.

The Company estimates the harvest yields for cannabis at various stages of growth. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, it was expected that the Company’s biological assets would yield approximately 18,080 thousand and 13,142 thousand grams, respectively.

The Company has quantified the sensitivity of the inputs in relation to biological assets as of March 31, 2020 and 2019 and expects the following effect on fair value as shown in the table below:

 

               Effect on fair value

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

(Unaudited)

 

 

The fair value of stock options granted under the Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following range of assumptions at the time of the grant:

 

     March 31, 2020

Risk-free annual interest rate

   1.18% to 1.28%

Expected annual dividend yield

   0%

Expected stock price volatility

   67% to 68%

Expected life of stock options

   5.5 to 7 years

Forfeiture rate

   5%

Fair value at grant date

   $1.84

Stock price at grant date

   $2.99

Exercise price

   $2.99

Volatility was estimated by using the average historical volatility of comparable companies from a representative peer group of publicly traded companies. An increase in volatility would result in an increase in fair value at grant date. The expected life in years represents the period of time that options issued are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on U.S. treasury bills with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, and 2019 the weighted-average fair value of stock options granted was $1.84 and $4.86 per option, respectively. As of March 31, 2020, stock options outstanding have a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 8.5 years.

In the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company issued 629,275 replacement options with a weighted average exercise price of $4.24 in connection with the Origin House acquisition. The replacement options have expiration dates ranging between February 2023 and December 2027, though expiration will accelerate upon termination of employment. As of March 31, 2020, 609,935 options with a weighted average exercise price of $4.21 are deemed to be exercisable.

Restricted stock units (“RSUs”)

During 2019, the Company established an RSU program to provide employees an additional avenue to participate in the successes of the Company. The fair value of RSUs granted was determined by the fair value of the Company’s share price on the date of grant. A number of RSUs granted have the ability to settle in cash. These awards have been determined to be liability-classified awards and are required to be marked-to-market as of the end of each reporting period. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $178 thousand and $339 thousand, respectively, in Deferred consideration, contingent consideration and other payables on the unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position related to these awards.

A summary of outstanding RSUs is provided below:

     42,982      $ 5.19  

Of the liability classified awards above, 24,428 awards were vested as of January 2020 pending issuance into shares.

In the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company issued 3,430 thousand replacement RSUs with a weighted average fair value of $5.96 in connection with the Origin House acquisition. As a result of the acquisition, the vesting of the replacement RSUs was accelerated. As such, there is no post-acquisition compensation expense required for these awards.

Deferred share awards

In the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company issued 1,632 thousand replacement deferred share awards in connection with the Origin House acquisition. The awards have a fair value of $5.96, which is based on the Company’s share price as of the acquisition date. The awards’ issuance were deferred through September 2020 as part of Origin House’s acquisition of RVR Distribution in 2018. Awards are considered to be fully vested as of the acquisition date and therefore require no post-acquisition compensation expense.

Expense Attribution

The Company recorded compensation expense for option awards in the amount of $1,435 thousand and $3,131 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company expensed $1,253 thousand and $2,877 thousand, respectively, to Selling, general and administrative expenses, with the remainder in Cost of sales – production costs and ending inventory. Unrecognized compensation expense as of March 31, 2020 for option awards is $18,852 thousand and will be recorded over the course of the next four years.

The Company is currently determining whether any goodwill related to this acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Additionally, per IFRS 3, the Company will retrospectively adjust the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of the acquisition date. During the measurement period, the Company will also recognize additional assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date. The measurement period ends as soon as the Company receives the

Origin House

On January 8, 2020, the Company announced that it had closed its acquisition of 100% of the membership interests of Origin House. As a result of this acquisition, the Company now holds additional licenses to cultivate and process medical and adult-use marijuana and new licenses to distribute medical and adult-use cannabis in the State of California. Additionally, the Company now holds licenses to operate a nicotine vape business with retail, online and wholesale revenues, as well as franchise locations.

Total consideration for the acquisition was $428,246 thousand and consisted of 66,482 thousand SVS issued as of the acquisition date, valued at $396,575 thousand, and 5,961 thousand replacement awards, valued at $31,671 thousand, which is comprised of 3,430 thousand replacement RSUs, 1,632 thousand deferred share awards and 629 thousand replacement options. The Company recorded $83 thousand of post-acquisition share-based compensation expense related to the replacement options. See Note 12 for additional detail.

As part of the acquisition, the Company recorded reserves of $107 thousand for potential payments contingent on future events that were probable to be paid and estimable as of the acquisition date.

The Company calculated, on a pro forma basis, the combined results of the acquired entity as if the Origin House acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2020. These pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of either the actual consolidated results had the acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2020 or of the future consolidated operating results.

Total pro forma Revenue and Net loss for the combined company for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $67,009 thousand and $13,882 thousand, respectively.

Contributed Revenue and Net loss from the Origin House acquisition was $13,955 thousand and $12,960 thousand, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The Company’s liability related to liability-classified equity awards decreased to $178 thousand as of March 31, 2020 due to changes in the Company’s share price and cash settlement of vested awards. See Note 12 for further details.

In connection with the Origin House acquisition, the Company acquired deferred consideration liabilities valued at $3,807 thousand, primarily related to $3,700 thousand of deferred consideration associated with Origin’s House’s previous acquisition of Cub City.

Loyalty Programs

The Company has customer loyalty programs where retail customers accumulate points based on their level of spending. These points are recorded as a contract liability until customers redeem their points for discounts on cannabis and vape products as part of an in-store sales transaction. In addition, the Company records a performance obligation as a reduction of revenue based on the estimated probability of point obligation incurred, which is calculated based on a standalone selling price that ranges between $0.025 and $0.10 per loyalty point. Upon redemption, the loyalty program obligation is relieved and the offset is recorded as revenue. As of March 31, 2020, there were 24,360 thousand points outstanding, with an approximate value of $198 thousand. The Company expects the outstanding loyalty points will be redeemed within 1 year.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

 

  (a)

Claims and Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2020, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s operations.

  (b)

Contingencies

The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of local and state regulations. Failure to comply with one or more of those regulations could result in fines, restrictions on its operations, or losses of permits that could result in the Company ceasing operations. While management believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with applicable local and state regulations as of March 31, 2020, cannabis regulations continue to evolve and are subject to differing interpretations. As a result, the Company may be subject to regulatory fines, penalties or restrictions in the future. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a contingent liability of $107 thousand related to the Origin House acquisition.

 

20.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

 

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments are held at amortized cost (adjusted for impairments or expected credit losses, as applicable) or FVTPL. The carrying values of financial instruments held at amortized cost approximate their fair values as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 due to their nature and relatively short maturity date. Financial assets and liabilities with embedded derivative features are carried at FVTPL.

Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs to fair value measurements. The three levels of hierarchy are:

 

   

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

33


Cresco Labs Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

(Unaudited)

 

 

   

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

 

   

Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Unless otherwise noted, the Company considers all financial instruments classified as FVTPL to be Level 1 instruments.

There have been no transfers between fair value levels valuing these assets during the year.

On August 12, 2019, the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note that is convertible, at the Company’s discretion, into additional membership units approximating 1% ownership of the parent company of Lighthouse. The loan has a maturity of 18 months and an option for the Company to convert into additional membership units. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, this loan had a fair value of $2,236 thousand. This loan is measured at FVTPL and transferred classification from a long-term loan receivable to a short-term loan receivable in the current period. See Note 8 for discussion of the Company’s investment in Lighthouse.

Expected Credit Loss (ECL)

The Company calculates ECLs for loan receivables and restricted cash by considering cash shortfalls on a discounted basis it would incur in various default scenarios for prescribed future periods and multiplying the shortfalls by the probability of each scenario occurring, which is determined through the exercise of judgement. No events or changes have occurred that would materially affect the expected credit loss over the life of these instruments and no impairment losses were recorded during the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 or 2019.

 

  (c)

Loans Receivable, Long-Term

The Company entered into certain loan arrangements with Verdant Creations, LLC. that contained embedded derivatives comprising of a call and put option and a stated interest rate of 5.25%. Settlement of the instruments varies based on contingent events and returns are not fixed. As such, the Company records this loan receivable at FVTPL. Each period, the loan is measured using a probability-weighting analysis of expected outcomes, which utilize Level 3 inputs. The inputs included market rates ranging from 5.8% to 18.4%, a risk-free rate of 0.2% and expected settlement timing of 1.22 to 1.44 years. Changes in Level 3 inputs and assumptions utilized resulted in a fair value gain of $548 thousand as of March 31, 2020. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, of the $15,500 thousand maximum loan commitment, $14,598 thousand and $10,741 thousand, respectively, had been drawn on these loans.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has a loan receivable of $434 thousand and $390 thousand, respectively. The Company records this loan receivable at amortized cost and has a stated interest rate of 10%.

In connection with the acquisition of Origin House, the Company assumed a loan receivable with a fair value of $331 thousand at both the acquisition date and March 31, 2020.

 

  (d)

Derivative Liability

In conjunction with its acquisition of PDI, the Company recorded a derivative liability of $178 thousand at the acquisition date for an NCI put option, by which the remaining NCI could put their shares for a fixed amount of cash within one year of the acquisition legal close/funding date (April 2020). The derivative was valued using a discount rate of 9%. In April 2020, the holders of the unowned NCI exercised their put option which resulted in the Company paying $203 thousand to purchase the unowned interest of PDI. As a result, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a $25 thousand mark-to-market loss to match the expected settlement value.

 

  (e)

Share Purchase Warrants

At March 31, 2020, the Company had 6,441,784 warrants outstanding. Of the outstanding warrants, 6,232,503 warrants issued to underwriters associated with September 2019 financing, sellers from the Valley Ag acquisition and previous holders of Randsburg warrants were classified as long-term derivative liabilities. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, 12 thousand Valley Ag warrants were exercised for $51 thousand, resulting in a realized loss of $6 thousand and an increase to share capital of $91 thousand. There were no warrant exercises in the three months ended March 31, 2019.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a mark-to-market gain, due to changes in the Company’s share price, of $9,708 thousand and an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $600 thousand.

All warrants classified as long-term derivative liabilities are measured at FVTPL.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value of liability-classified warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model utilizing the following assumptions:

 

    

March 31, 2020

  

December 31,
2019

Risk-free annual interest rate

   1.09% - 1.10%    1.58% - 1.61%

Expected annual dividend yield

   0%    0%

Expected stock price volatility

   79%    81%

Expected life of stock warrants

   0.5 - 2.6 years    0.4 - 1.4 years

Forfeiture rate

   0%    0%

Share price at period end

   $2.99    $6.86

Volatility was estimated by using the average historical volatility of comparable companies from a representative peer group of publicly traded cannabis companies.

Financial Risk Management

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board mitigates these risks by assessing, monitoring and approving the Company’s risk management processes:

 

  (a)

Credit and Banking Risk

Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The maximum credit exposure at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, and loans receivable. The Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to its customers or loan counterparties, based on cannabis industry growth in our key markets and the low interest rate environment. Although all deposited cash is placed with U.S. financial institutions in good standing with regulatory authorities, changes in U.S. federal banking laws related to the deposit and holding of funds derived from activities related to the cannabis industry have passed the House of Representatives but have not yet been voted on within the Senate. Given that current U.S. federal law provides that the production and possession of cannabis is illegal, there is a strong argument that banks cannot accept for deposit funds from businesses involved with the cannabis industry.

The novel coronavirus or COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 12, 2020 and has caused significant economic uncertainty and consequently it is difficult to reliably measure the potential impact of this uncertainty on our future financial results.

  (b)

Asset Forfeiture Risk

Because the cannabis industry remains illegal under U.S. federal law, any property owned by participants in the cannabis industry which are either used in the course of conducting such business, or are the proceeds of such business, could be subject to seizure by law enforcement and subsequent civil asset forfeiture. Even if the owner of the property were never charged with a crime, the property in question could still be seized and subject to an administrative proceeding by which, with minimal due process, it could be subject to forfeiture.

 

  (c)

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due. In February 2020, the Company entered into a non-brokered credit agreement for a senior secured term loan with an initial principal balance of $100,000 thousand. The Company will continue to raise capital as needed to fund operations and expansion. The maturity analysis for lease obligations is located in Note 7.

Market Risk

 

  a.

Currency Risk

The operating results and financial position of the Company are reported in U.S. dollars. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are denominated primarily in U.S. dollars. However, from time to time some of the Company’s financial transactions are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The results of the Company’s operations are subject to currency transaction and translation risks. The Company recorded a $600 thousand foreign exchange gain related to warrants during the three months ended March 31, 2020. See Note 17 for additional detail.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.

 

  b.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company calculates an incremental borrowing rate to use in the valuation of its financial instruments. The Company’s effective interest rates for its Term Loan range from 15.9% to 16.7% and the stated interest rate varies from 12.7% to 13.2% based on the term elected by the lender. The Company’s weighted average effective interest rate for its OCN Loan is 23.8% and its stated interest rate is 10%. See Note 14 for further information.

(Unaudited)

 

 

  c.

Price Risk

Price risk is the risk of variability in fair value due to movements in equity or market prices. The Company is subject to price risk related to derivative liabilities, contingent consideration and liability-classified RSUs that are valued based on the Company’s own stock price. An increase or decrease in stock price by 10% would result in an associated increase or decrease in fair value and Other income (expense), net of $2,072 thousand.

 

  d.

Tax Risk

Tax risk is the risk of changes in the tax environment that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. Currently, state licensed marijuana businesses are assessed a comparatively high effective federal tax rate due to section 280E, which bars businesses from deducting all expenses except their cost of sales when calculating federal tax liability. Any increase in tax levies resulting from additional tax measures may have a further adverse effect on the operations of the Company, while any decrease in such tax levies will be beneficial to future operations. See Note 24 for the Company’s disclosure of uncertain tax positions.

 

  e.

Regulatory Risk

Regulatory risk pertains to the risk that the Company’s business objectives are contingent, in part, upon the compliance of regulatory requirements. Due to the nature of the industry, the Company recognizes that regulatory requirements are more stringent and punitive in nature. Any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain regulatory approvals can significantly delay operational and product development and can have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operation, and financial condition. The Company is cognizant of the advent of regulatory changes occurring in the cannabis industry on the city, state, and national levels. Although regulatory outlook on the cannabis industry has been moving in a positive trend, the Company is aware of the effect that unforeseen regulatory changes can have on the goals and operations of the business as a whole.

 

21.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

The Company operates in one segment, the cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, and sale of cannabis.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company generated 97.2% of its revenue in the United States with the remainder generated in Canada. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, all revenues were generated in the United States.

 

22.

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net earnings or loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding.

Potentially dilutive securities of approximately 141,843 and 154,410 thousand were excluded in the calculation of EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, as their impact would have been anti-dilutive due to net losses in both periods.

Cresco is primarily engaged in the business of cultivating medical grade cannabis, manufacturing medical grade products derived from cannabis cultivation, and distributing such products to medical or adult use consumers in legalized cannabis markets. Cresco exists to provide high-quality and consistent cannabis-based products to consumers. Cresco’s business focuses on regulatory compliance while working to develop condition-specific strains of cannabis and non-invasive delivery methods (alternatives to smoke inhalation) to provide controlled-dosage medicinal cannabis relief to qualified patients and consumers in legalized cannabis markets. The Company currently operates three medical and adult-use cannabis cultivation and manufacturing centers in Illinois and seven dispensary locations in Illinois; one medical cannabis cultivation and manufacturing center in Pennsylvania, three dispensary locations in Pennsylvania and two additional dispensary locations under construction in Pennsylvania; one medical cannabis cultivation center and one dispensary location in Ohio; three cultivation centers, one processing facility and two distribution facilities in California; two cultivation centers in Arizona and one manufacturing and dispensary location in Arizona; one processing center in Maryland; one medical cannabis cultivation center license in New York and four dispensary locations in New York; one cultivation center and dispensary in Massachusetts; and thirty (30) nicotine vape stores in Canada. In Illinois, Cresco’s dispensary applications received the highest, second highest and third highest scores, respectively, of all applications reviewed by the State of Illinois. Subsequently, the Company was the first cultivator to receive approvals to grow adult-use cannabis; all three cultivation facilities were granted approvals in that state. Additionally, the Company’s five dispensary locations were approved for dispensing adult-use cannabis in that state upon legalization, effective January 1, 2020. Secondary sites corresponding to the five current dispensary licenses were also awarded, allowing for up to ten

dispensary locations upon zoning approval by local jurisdictions. The zoning for the first such secondary site dispensary located in Chicago’s River North neighborhood was approved by the City of Chicago on March 6, 2020. On May 28, 2020, the Company began adult-use cannabis sales at this location. In Pennsylvania, Cresco was awarded the highest score during the application process and had the second highest overall score, making it one of only five cultivators that was also awarded a dispensary license which allows for up to three dispensaries. The Company was subsequently awarded a second dispensary license allowing an additional three dispensaries for a total of six locations across the state. During 2019, the Company announced a new dispensary brand, Sunnyside*, created to accelerate industry growth and shift people’s expectations and perceptions around shopping for cannabis from intimidation and doubt to curiosity and acceptance through a new trail and marketing approach. Five Sunnyside* dispensaries opened on January 1, 2020 in the Illinois market with two additional locations beginning operations in May 2020.

Cresco is currently located at Suite 110, 400 W. Erie St, Chicago, IL 60654 and employs approximately 1,700 people, while being voted a finalist for “Best Places to Work” by Crain’s Chicago Business in 2019.

Issuing IPO, Reverse Takeover & Corporate Structure

The Company (then Randsburg Gold Corporation) was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia under the Company Act (British Columbia) on July 6, 1990. On December 30, 1997, the Company changed its name from Randsburg Gold Corporation to Randsburg International Gold Corp. (“Randsburg”) and consolidated its common shares on a five (5) old for one (1) new basis. On November 30, 2018, in connection with the Reverse Takeover, the Company (i) consolidated its outstanding Randsburg Common Shares on an 812.63 old for one (1) new basis, and (ii) filed an alteration to its Notice of Articles with the British Columbia Registrar of Companies to change its name from Randsburg to Cresco Labs Inc. and to amend the rights and restrictions of its existing class of common shares, redesignate such class as the class of Subordinate Voting Shares and create the Proportionate Voting Shares and the Super Voting Shares.

The Company’s registered office is located at Suite 2200, 1055 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 2E9. Pursuant to the Reverse Takeover, among the Company (then Randsburg) and Cresco, a series of transactions was completed on November 30, 2018 resulting in a reorganization of Cresco and Randsburg and pursuant to which Randsburg became the indirect parent and sole voting unitholder of Cresco. The series of transactions constituted a Reverse Takeover of Randsburg by Cresco under applicable securities laws.

Cresco was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of Illinois on October 8, 2013 and is governed by the Pre-Combination LLC Agreement. The Pre-Combination LLC Agreement was further amended and restated in connection with the completion of the Reverse Takeover.

Set forth below is the organization chart of the Company.

Recent Developments

On April 26, 2019, the Company announced that it filed and received a receipt for a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus (the “Shelf Prospectus”) with the securities commissions in each of the provinces of Canada, except Québec. The Shelf Prospectus, when made final, will allow the Company to offer up to C$500,000 thousand of subordinate voting shares, debt securities, subscription receipts, warrants, and units, or any combination thereof, from time to time during the 25-month period that the final Shelf Prospectus is effective. The Company filed this Shelf Prospectus in order to maintain financial strength and flexibility going forward; the final version of the Shelf Prospectus was filed and accepted on July 26, 2019. The specific terms of any future offering of securities, including the use of proceeds from any offering, will be established in prospectus supplements to the Shelf Prospectus, which will be filed with the applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities.

On May 28, 2019, the Company announced that shareholders representing 205,172,192 common shares (the “Shareholders”) have entered into voluntary lock-up agreements with the Company (the “Agreements”), representing 97% of the shares subject to an initial lock-up and 80% of total issued subordinate voting shares (on an as-if converted basis). Included among the Shareholders are all of the Company’s founders, its entire executive management team and board of directors, as well as several of the largest outside investors in Cresco. The voluntary lock-up Agreements stipulate that these shareholders will not, subject to limited exception, offer to sell, contract to sell, lend, pledge or otherwise dispose of any Cresco securities, or enter into any transaction to such effect, directly or indirectly, in addition to other restrictions until December 3, 2019, when a portion of the shares will be released followed by the remainder of the shares being released by June 3, 2020.

On September 18, 2019, the Company filed a prospectus supplement (the “Offering”), together with the short form base shelf prospectus described above, which qualified the distribution of 7,350,000 units (the “Offered Units”) of Cresco at a price of C$10.00 per Offered Unit (the “Offering Price”) pursuant to an amended and restated underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) dated as of September 16, 2019 between Cresco and Canaccord Genuity Corp., Beacon Securities Limited, Cormark Securities Inc., Eight Capital and GMP Securities L.P. (collectively, the “Underwriters”). Each Offered Unit was comprised of one subordinate voting share (“SVS”) of Cresco (each, a “Unit Share”) and one-half of one SVS purchase warrant of Cresco (each whole SVS purchase warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant is exercisable into one SVS of Cresco (each, a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of C$12.50 per Warrant Share at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the date that is 36 months following the closing of the Offering. The Offered Units immediately separate into Unit Shares and Warrants upon issuance. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, Cresco agreed to pay to the Underwriter a fee representing 5.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering.

Cresco granted the Underwriter an option to purchase up to an additional 1,102,500 Offered Units (the “Additional Units”) at the Offering Price per Additional Unit on the same terms and conditions as the Offering for a period of 30 days from and including the closing date (September 24, 2019) to cover over allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes. On October 24, 2019, the Company issued an additional 551,250 share purchase warrants (the “Additional Warrants”) at a price of C$2.16 per Additional Warrant for gross proceeds of C$1,190,700, pursuant to the partial exercise of the Underwriter’s over-allotment option.

On December 3, 2019, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement with Canaccord Genuity Corp. pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, sell up to C$55,000 thousand of SVS. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the at-the-market program, if any, principally for general corporate purposes, including funding ongoing discretionary capital programs and potential future acquisitions.

On February 2, 2020, the Company closed on a senior secured term loan agreement (the “Term Loan”) for an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 thousand, with the mutual option to increase the principal amount to $200,000 thousand.

Federal Regulatory Environment

Canadian-Securities Administrators Staff Notice 51-352 (Revised) – Issuers with U.S. Marijuana-Related Activities (“Staff Notice 51-352”) provides specific disclosure expectations for issuers that currently have, or are in the process of developing, cannabis-related activities in the United States as permitted within a particular state’s regulatory framework. All issuers with United States cannabis-related activities are expected to clearly and prominently disclose certain prescribed information in prospectus filings and other required disclosure documents.

In accordance with Staff Notice 51-352, Cresco will evaluate, monitor and reassess the disclosure contained herein, and any related risks, on an ongoing basis and the same will be supplemented, amended and communicated to investors in public filings, including in the event of government policy changes or the introduction of new or amended guidance, laws or regulations regarding marijuana regulation. As a result of Cresco’s operations, it is subject to Staff Notice 51-352 and accordingly provides the following disclosure.

Cresco currently directly derives a substantial portion of its revenues from the cannabis industry in certain U.S. states, which industry is illegal under U.S. Federal Law. As of March 31, 2020, the Company is directly involved (through licensed subsidiaries) in both the adult-use and medical cannabis industry in the states of Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Arizona, Maryland, California and Massachusetts as permitted within such states under applicable state law which states have regulated such industries.

The cultivation, sale and use of cannabis is illegal under federal law pursuant to the U.S. Controlled Substance Act of 1970 (the “CSA”). Under the CSA, the policies and regulations of the United States Federal Government and its agencies are that cannabis has no medical benefit and a range of activities including cultivation and the personal use of cannabis is prohibited. The Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution establishes that the United States Constitution and federal laws made pursuant to it are paramount and in case of conflict between federal and state law, the federal law shall apply.

On January 4, 2018, former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a memorandum to U.S. district attorneys which rescinded previous guidance from the U.S. Department of Justice specific to cannabis enforcement in the United States, including the Cole Memo (as defined herein). With the Cole Memo rescinded, U.S. federal prosecutors have been given discretion in determining whether to prosecute cannabis-related violations of U.S. federal law. If the Department of Justice policy was to aggressively pursue financiers or equity owners of cannabis-related business, and United States Attorneys followed such Department of Justice policies through pursuing prosecutions, then the Company could face (i) seizure of its cash and other assets used to support or derived from its cannabis subsidiaries, and (ii) the arrest of its employees, directors, officers, managers and investors, who could face charges of ancillary criminal violations of the CSA for aiding and abetting and conspiring to violate the CSA by virtue of providing financial support to state- licensed or permitted cultivators, processors, distributors, and/or retailers of cannabis. Additionally, as has recently been affirmed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, employees, directors, officers, managers and investors of the Company who are not U.S. citizens face the risk of being barred from entry into the United States for life.

Unless and until the United States Congress amends the CSA with respect to medical and/or adult-use cannabis (and as to the timing or scope of any such potential amendments there can be no assurance), there is a significant risk that federal authorities may enforce current U.S. federal law. If the U.S. federal government begins to enforce U.S. federal laws relating to cannabis in states where the sale and use of cannabis is currently legal, or if existing applicable state laws are repealed or curtailed, the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects would be materially adversely affected.

Despite the current state of the federal law and the CSA, the states of California, Nevada, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, Illinois, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Vermont and Alaska, and the District of Columbia, have legalized recreational use of cannabis. Maine has not yet begun recreational cannabis commercial operations as of March 31, 2020. In early 2018, Vermont became the first state to legalize recreational cannabis by passage in a state legislature but does not allow commercial sales of recreational cannabis. Although the District of Columbia voters passed a ballot initiative in November 2014, no commercial recreational operations exist because of a prohibition on using funds for regulation within a federal appropriations amendment to local District spending powers.

In addition, over half of the U.S. states have enacted legislation to legalize and regulate the sale and use of medical cannabis, provided that there are strict limits on the levels of THC. However, there is no guarantee that state laws legalizing and regulating the sale and use of cannabis will not be repealed or overturned, or that local governmental authorities will not limit the applicability of state laws within their respective jurisdictions.

The Company’s objective is to capitalize on the opportunities presented as a result of the changing regulatory environment governing the cannabis industry in the United States. Accordingly, there are a number of significant risks associated with the business of the Company. Unless and until the United States Congress amends the CSA with respect to medical and/or adult-use cannabis (and as to the timing or scope of any such potential amendments there can be no assurance), there is a significant risk that federal authorities may enforce current federal law, and the business of the Company may be deemed to be producing, cultivating, extracting, or dispensing cannabis or aiding or abetting or otherwise engaging in a conspiracy to commit such acts in violation of federal law in the United States.

For these reasons, the Company’s investments in the United States cannabis market may subject the Company to heightened scrutiny by regulators, stock exchanges, clearing agencies and other Canadian authorities. There are a number of risks associated with the business of the Company. See sections entitled “Regulatory Overview” and “Risk Factors” in “United States Regulatory Environment”, “Risk Factors” and “General Development of the Business” and “Description of the Business” in the Annual Information Form dated April 28, 2020.

On September 25, 2019, the Secure and Fair Enforcement Banking Act of 2019 (“SAFE Banking Act”) was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives in a 321 to 103 vote. The SAFE Banking Act would permanently protect state-chartered banks and credit unions that service state-legal cannabis companies from being penalized by federal regulators. On May 17, 2020, the legislative language of the SAFE Banking Act was included in a stimulus bill known as The Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions Act (“HEROES Act”). The HEROES Act was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives in a 208 to 199 vote. The bill or a version of it is expected to be up for vote in the Republican-controlled Senate in the coming months.

On November 20, 2019, the House Judiciary Committee approved the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act of 2019 (“MORE Act”) in a 24 to 10 vote. The MORE Act would decriminalize and remove Cannabis as a Schedule I substance. The MORE Act now will likely be brought up for a vote in the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives in the coming months.

The States In Which We Operate, Their Legal Framework and How It Affects Our Business

Illinois Operations

The Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act, which allows individuals diagnosed with a debilitating medical condition access to medical marijuana, became effective January 1, 2014. There were over 41 qualifying conditions as part of the initial medical program, including epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, and post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”).

The Opioid Alternative Pilot Program launched on January 31, 2019 and allows patients that receive or are qualified to receive opioid prescriptions access to medical marijuana as an alternative in situations where an opioid could generally be prescribed. Under this new program, patients with doctor approval can receive near-immediate access to cannabis products from an Illinois licensed dispensary. The Opioid Alternative Pilot Program eliminates the previously required fingerprinting and background checks that often delay patients’ access to medical cannabis by up to three months.

In June 2019, the Illinois House of Representatives and Senate passed Senate Bill 2023 which added 11 additional debilitating illnesses such as chronic pain, migraines and irritable bowl syndrome to the list of qualifying medical conditions. This bill was signed into law in August by Governor JB Pritzker.

In January 2019, JB Pritzker was sworn into office as Governor of Illinois. Cresco’s CEO and co-founder, Charles Bachtell, has been appointed to the Cannabis Legalization Subcommittee of the governor’s transition team. Cannabis Legalization is one of four subcommittees under the Governor’s Restorative Justice and Safe Communities Transition Committee. The primary goals of the Cannabis Legalization Subcommittee are to evaluate and develop implementation recommendations for the Governor’s platform on legalizing cannabis. In June 2019, Governor Pritzker signed the Cannabis Regulation and Taxation Act (CRTA) into law, making Illinois the 11th state to legalize recreational marijuana.

Illinois’ retail market for the first three calendar months of 2020 was $188 million, representing a 322% year-over-year increase.

Cresco currently operates three (3) medical/adult-use cannabis cultivation and manufacturing centers in Illinois and owns five (5) medical/adult-use dispensary locations in Illinois. Licenses were awarded based on merit in a highly competitive application process to applicants who demonstrated strong operational expertise and financial backing. Since the beginning of 2019, Cresco has established a 21% wholesale market share in Illinois.

Cresco is licensed to operate in the state of Illinois as a medical and adult-use cultivator and medical and adult-use product manufacturer. Phoenix, PDI, FloraMedex, MedMar Lakeview, and MedMar Rockford, are licensed to operate retail dispensaries in the state of Illinois. These dispensaries were rebranded as Sunnyside* dispensaries in early 2020. Under applicable laws, the licenses permit Cresco and its subsidiaries to collectively cultivate, manufacture, process, package, sell, and purchase marijuana pursuant to the terms of the licenses, which are issued by the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation under the provisions of the Illinois Revised Statutes 410 ILCS 130. All licenses are, as of the date hereof, active with the State of Illinois. There are two categories of licenses in Illinois: (i) cultivation/processing; and (ii) dispensary. The licenses are independently issued for each approved activity.

All cultivation/processing establishments must register with Illinois Department of Agriculture. All dispensaries must register with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. If applications contain all required information and after vetting by officers, establishments are issued a medical marijuana establishment registration certificate. Registration certificates are valid for a period of one year and are subject to annual renewals after required fees are paid and the business remains in good standing. Renewal requests are typically communicated through email from the Department of Agriculture or Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and include a renewal form.

The retail dispensary licenses held by Phoenix, PDI, FloraMedex, MedMar Lakeview, and MedMar Rockford permit the Company to purchase marijuana and marijuana products from cultivation/processing facilities and allows the sale of marijuana and marijuana products to registered patients and adult-use customers. The five dispensary locations were approved on October 16, 2019 to begin dispensing adult-use cannabis on January 1, 2020 and were also approved to open secondary site adult-use dispensaries by the Illinois Department of Financials and Professional Regulation. Two of the five additional dispensaries will be located within the City of Chicago. The zoning for the first such secondary site dispensary located in Chicago’s River North neighborhood was approved by the City of Chicago on March 6, 2020. In May 2020, the Company announced the opening of the sixth and seventh Sunnyside* locations in Danville and Chicago-River North, respectively.

The three medical cultivation licenses held by Cresco permit it to acquire, possess, cultivate, manufacture/process into edible medical marijuana products and/or medical marijuana-infused products, deliver, transfer, have tested, transport, supply or sell marijuana and related supplies to medical marijuana dispensaries. In September 2019, the three cultivation facilities were approved for growing adult-use cannabis by the Illinois Department of Agriculture, for a total cultivation capacity of 630 thousand square feet, the maximum allowed by law.

Pennsylvania Operations

The Pennsylvania medical marijuana program was signed into law on April 17, 2016 under Act 16 and provided access to state residents with one of 21 qualifying conditions, including epilepsy, cancer, chronic pain, and PTSD. The state, which consists of over 12 million U.S. citizens and qualifies as the fifth largest population in the U.S., operates as a high-barrier market with very limited market participation. The state originally awarded only 12 licenses to cultivate/process and 27 licenses to operate retail dispensaries (which entitled holders to up to three medical dispensary locations). Out of the hundreds of applicants in each license category, Yeltrah was awarded one (1) medical cannabis cultivation and manufacturing center in Pennsylvania, and three (3) dispensary locations in Pennsylvania. Yeltrah has established an estimated 20%+ market share in Pennsylvania.

Retail sales commenced in February 2018 to a limited number of retail locations across the state. On February 15, 2018, Yeltrah was the first cultivator/processor to release product into the Pennsylvania market (approximately 6 weeks ahead of any other producer), and its dispensary was the first to sell product to patients in the state.

On March 22, 2018, it was announced that the final phase of the Pennsylvania medical marijuana program would initiate its rollout, which will include 13 additional cultivation/processing licenses and 23 additional dispensary licenses. The application period ran from April 2018 through May 17, 2018. Yeltrah submitted additional dispensary applications and in December of 2018 an additional dispensary license was obtained to open three (3) additional dispensary locations, for a total of six (6) in the state of Pennsylvania.

In the introductory months of the program, Pennsylvania’s medical marijuana dispensaries experienced supply shortages and were unable to keep up with statewide demand. It was announced on April 17, 2018 that dry flower would be included in the regulations as an approved product form for sale and consumption (in addition to the already approved forms of concentrates, pills, and tinctures).

Under applicable laws, the licenses permit Yeltrah to cultivate, manufacture, process, package, sell, and purchase medical marijuana pursuant to the terms of the licenses, which are issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Health under the provisions of Medical Marijuana Act (35 P.S. § § 10231.101 — 10231.2110) and Chapters 1141, 1151 and 1161 of the Pennsylvania regulations. All licenses are, as of the date hereof, active with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. There are two categories of licenses in Pennsylvania: (i) cultivation/processing; and (ii) dispensary. The licenses are independently issued for each approved activity for use at Yeltrah facilities in Pennsylvania.

All cultivation/processing establishments must register with the Pennsylvania Department of Health. All dispensaries must register with the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Registration certificates are valid for a period of one year and are subject to annual renewals after required fees are paid and the business remains in good standing. Specifically, for licenses that Yeltrah currently holds have each undergone one or two renewals.

The retail dispensary licenses permit Yeltrah to purchase marijuana and marijuana products from cultivation/processing facilities and allows the sale of marijuana and marijuana products to registered patients.

The medical cultivation licenses permit Yeltrah to acquire, possess, cultivate, manufacture/process into edible medical marijuana products and/or medical marijuana-infused products, deliver, transfer, have tested, transport, supply or sell marijuana and related supplies to medical marijuana dispensaries.

On September 25, 2019, Pennsylvania’s Governor held a press conference to announce a majority of Pennsylvania citizens were in favor of adult-use cannabis. He called on the General Assembly to consider the legalization of adult-use cannabis and provided additional actions to seek a path forward. On October 31, 2019, Senate Bill 350 (“SB 350”) was introduced to legalize cannabis for adult-use. SB 350, in due course, will be assigned to a Senate committee for consideration by the Pennsylvania State Senate.

Ohio Operations

House Bill 523, effective on September 8, 2016, legalized medical marijuana in Ohio. The Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program (“MMCP”) allows people with certain medical conditions, upon the recommendation of an Ohio-licensed physician certified by the State Medical Board, to purchase and use medical marijuana. House Bill 523 required that the framework for the MMCP become effective as of September 2018. This timeframe allowed for a deliberate process to ensure the safety of the public and to promote access to a safe product.

The three following state government agencies are responsible for the operation of MMCP: (1) the Ohio Department of Commerce is responsible for overseeing medical marijuana cultivators, processors and testing laboratories; (2) the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy is responsible for overseeing medical marijuana retail dispensaries, the registration of medical marijuana patients and caregivers, the approval of new forms of medical marijuana and coordinating the Medical Marijuana Advisory Committee; and, (3) the State Medical Board of Ohio is responsible for certifying physicians to recommend medical marijuana and may add to the list of qualifying conditions for which medical marijuana can be recommended. Qualifying medical conditions for medical marijuana include: HIV/AIDS, Lou Gehrig’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, Crohn’s disease, epilepsy or other seizure disorder, fibromyalgia, glaucoma, hepatitis C, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), pain (either chronic, severe, or intractable), Parkinson’s disease, PTSD, sickle cell anemia, spinal cord disease or injury, Tourette’s syndrome, traumatic brain injury, and ulcerative colitis. In order for a patient to be eligible to obtain medical marijuana, a physician must make the diagnosis of one of these conditions.

Several forms of medical marijuana are legal in Ohio, these include: inhalation of marijuana through a vaporizer (not direct smoking), oils, tinctures, plant material, edibles, patches and any other forms approved by the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy.

On June 4, 2018, the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy awarded 56 medical marijuana provisional dispensary licenses. The licenses were awarded after an extensive review of 376 submitted dispensary applications.

Provisional licensees are authorized to begin the process of establishing a dispensary in accordance with the representations in their applications and the rules adopted by the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy. Per state of Ohio regulations, all provisional license holders have a maximum of six months to demonstrate compliance with the dispensary operational requirements to obtain a certificate of operation. Compliance will be determined through an inspection by a Board of Medical Marijuana Compliance Agent. Once a dispensary is awarded a certificate of operation, it can begin selling medical marijuana to Ohio patients and caregivers in accordance with Ohio laws and rules.

By rule, the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy is limited to issuing up to 60 dispensary licenses across the state but will have the authority to increase the number of licenses. To date, no announcement has been made if the number of licenses will be increased. Per the program rules, the Board will consider, on at least a biennial basis, whether enough medical marijuana dispensaries exist, considering the state population, the number of patients seeking to use medical marijuana, and the geographic distribution of dispensary sites.

Cresco Ohio was awarded one provisional dispensary license which is located in Wintersville, Ohio. The dispensary license permits Cresco Ohio to purchase marijuana and marijuana products from cultivation/processing facilities and allows the sale of marijuana and marijuana products to registered patients.

Cresco Ohio applied for and, on November 30, 2017, received one provisional cultivation license. Cresco Ohio’s cultivation facility is a hybrid greenhouse structure located in Yellow Springs, Ohio. The medical cultivation licenses permit will permit Cresco Ohio to acquire, possess, cultivate, manufacture/process into medical marijuana products, deliver, transfer, have tested, transport, supply or sell marijuana and related supplies to medical marijuana dispensaries.

A holder of a provisional cultivation license is prohibited from operating as a licensed cultivator and performing any cultivation or production activities, including the procurement of seeds, seedlings, or other starting plant material until a Certificate of Operation is issued by the Ohio Department of Commerce. This provisional license serves as authorization from the Ohio Department of Commerce for Cresco Ohio to begin the construction or modification of the facility and to secure any other applicable permits needed from local jurisdictions in order to receive a Certificate of Operation. Pursuant to Ohio Administrative Code s. 3796:2-1-06(B), a provisional license holder has nine (9) months to obtain a Certificate of Operation. On September 14, 2018, Cresco Ohio received its Certificate of Operation for cultivation.

On December 12, 2018, Cresco Ohio was granted the first dispensary Certificate of Operation in the state, which was over a month in advance of any other dispensary operator. Retail sales commenced on January 16, 2019 with the first cannabis sale taking place at the Wintersville dispensary. This was the second state medical marijuana program in which the Company was first to market.

The Company has certain agreements with Verdant Creations, LLC and its affiliates (“Verdant”) that will give the Company the option to purchase four additional Ohio dispensaries currently operated by Verdant. Completion of the transaction is subject to approval by the Ohio Board of Pharmacy and, upon closing, Cresco will have a total of five dispensaries in Ohio, the maximum allowed by the state.

California Operations

In 1996, California was the first state to legalize medical marijuana through Proposition 215, the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 (“CUA”). This legalized the use, possession and cultivation of medical marijuana by patients with a physician recommendation for treatment of cancer, anorexia, AIDS, chronic pain, spasticity, glaucoma, arthritis, migraine, or any other illness for which marijuana provides relief.

In 2003, Senate Bill 420 was signed into law establishing an optional identification card system for medical marijuana patients.

In September 2015, the California legislature passed three bills collectively known as the “Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act” (“MCRSA”). The MCRSA established a licensing and regulatory framework for medical marijuana businesses in California. The system created multiple license types for dispensaries, infused products manufacturers, cultivation facilities, testing laboratories, transportation companies, and distributors. Edible infused product manufacturers would require either volatile solvent or non-volatile solvent manufacturing licenses depending on their specific extraction methodology. Multiple agencies would oversee different aspects of the program and businesses would require a state license and local approval to operate. However, in November 2016, voters in California overwhelmingly passed Proposition 64, the “Adult-Use of Marijuana Act” (“AUMA”) creating an adult-use marijuana program for adults 21 years of age or older. AUMA had some conflicting provisions with MCRSA, so in June 2017, the California State Legislature passed Senate Bill No. 94, known as Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“MAUCRSA”), which amalgamates MCRSA and AUMA to provide a set of regulations to govern medical and adult-use licensing regime for cannabis businesses in the state of California. MAUCRSA went into effect on January 1, 2018. The four agencies that regulate marijuana at the state level are the BCC, the California Department of Food and Agriculture, the California Department of Public Health, and the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration.

In order to legally operate a medical or adult-use cannabis business in California, the operator must have both a local and state license. This requires license holders to operate in cities with marijuana licensing programs. Therefore, cities in California are allowed to determine the number of licenses they will issue to marijuana operators or can choose to outright ban marijuana.

On June 7, 2018, Cresco acquired a 60% ownership interest in SLO, a marijuana cultivation facility in operation in the cities of Carpinteria (Santa Barbara County) and San Luis Obispo (San Luis Obispo County), California. On September 27, 2018, Cresco acquired a further 20% ownership interest to bring the total ownership to 80%. The cultivation facility has a capacity of up to 650,000 square feet of greenhouse production space.

SLO is licensed to operate as a medical and adult-use cultivator and processor under applicable California and local jurisdictional law (the “California License”). The California License permits SLO to cultivate and process medical and adult-use cannabis in the state of California pursuant to the terms of the California License issued by the BCC under the provision of the MAUCRSA and California Assembly Bill No. 133. In California, licenses are independently issued for each approved activity for use.

California state and local licenses are renewed annually. Each year, licensees are required to submit a renewal application per guidelines published by BCC. While renewals are annual, there is no ultimate expiry after which no renewals are permitted. Additionally, in respect of the renewal process, provided that the requisite renewal fees are paid, the renewal application is submitted in a timely manner, and there are no material violations noted against the applicable license, SLO would expect to receive the applicable renewed license in the ordinary course of business. While SLO’s compliance controls have been developed to mitigate the risk of any material violations of a license arising, there is no assurance that the licenses will be renewed in the future in a timely manner. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations of the Resulting Issuer and have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

SLO applied for and was granted licenses permitting it to cultivate, manufacture, and distribute retail medical (and in some instances, adult-use) cannabis and cannabis-related products:

Mendota (Fresno County)

 

   

SLO has been issued a provisional license for Type 7 (Manufacturing 2 – Volatile), Adult-Use & Medical (“A&M”).

 

   

SLO has been issued a provisional license for Type 11 (Distribution), A&M.

 

   

SLO submitted annual applications for the two listed license types to the state regulator and is awaiting approval for these annual applications.

Carpinteria (SB County)

 

   

SLO has been issued provisional licenses for Cultivation: Small Mixed-Light Tier 1. Additionally, SLO has been issued provisional licenses in:

 

   

Nursery, allowing for the planting and cultivation of medical cannabis from seeds, clones, and immature plants.

 

   

Processor Type, allowing for the harvesting, drying, curing, grading or tanning of cannabis as well as the packaging and labelling of certain non-manufactured cannabis.

 

   

SLO submitted annual applications for the three listed license types to the state regulator awaiting approval of annual applications.

Origin House

On April 1, 2019, Cresco entered into a definitive agreement (“Origin House Agreement”) with CannaRoyalty Corp. d/b/a Origin House, pursuant to which Cresco will acquire all issued and outstanding shares of Origin House. Under the terms of the Origin House Agreement and subsequent amendments, holders of common shares of Origin House will receive 0.7031 subordinate voting shares of Cresco Labs for each Origin House share (the “Transaction”).

The Transaction represents a total consideration of $428.2 million on a fully-diluted basis, and as of this date, is among the largest of public company acquisitions in the history of the U.S. cannabis industry. The combined entity will be: one of the largest vertically-integrated multi-state cannabis operators in the United States; a leading North American cannabis company, by footprint; and one of the largest cannabis brand distributors.

 

11


Origin House has become a leading distributor and provider of brand support services in California, the world’s largest regulated cannabis market. Origin House’s proven strategy has been to build relationships with established dispensaries, build partnerships with established market-leading brands, develop promising cannabis product companies, and then leverage its full suite of support services to transform those products into strong California consumer brands. Origin House delivers over 50+ cannabis brands to more than 500 dispensaries in California, representing approximately 60% market penetration. Following the closing of this acquisition, Cresco brands are expected to be in over 725 dispensaries and Cresco will have access to several additional licenses for cultivation, manufacturing and distribution of cannabis within the state of California.

On January 8, 2020, the Company announced it had closed on its acquisition of Origin House in which the Company acquired 100% of all equity interests of Origin House for 66,482 thousand Cresco shares and 5,961 thousand replacement equity awards, valued at $428,246 thousand.

Arizona Operations

In 2010, Arizona passed Ballot Proposition 203, which amended Title 36 to the Arizona Revised Statutes. This amendment added Chapter 28.1, titled the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act. (the “AMMA”). The AMMA is codified in Arizona Revised Statutes (‘‘ARS’’) § 36-2801 et. seq. The AMMA also appointed the Arizona Department of Health Services (the “ADHS”) as the regulator for the program and authorized ADHS to promulgate, adopt and enforce regulations for the AMMA. These ADHS Regulations are embodied in the Arizona Administrative Code (‘‘AAC’’) Title 9 Chapter 17 (the ‘‘Rules’’).

The ADHS has established the Arizona Department of Health Services Medical Marijuana Program (‘‘MMJ Program’’), which includes a vertically integrated license, meaning if allocated a Medical Marijuana Dispensary Registration Certificate (‘‘Dispensary License’’), entities are authorized to dispense and cultivate medical cannabis. Each Dispensary License allows the holding entity to operate one on-site cultivation facility, and one off-site cultivation facility which can be located anywhere within the state of Arizona. An entity holding a Dispensary License is required to file an application to renew with the ADHS on an annual basis, which must also include audited annual financial statements. While a Dispensary License may not be sold, transferred or otherwise conveyed, Dispensary License holders typically contract with third parties to provide various services related to the ongoing operation, maintenance and governance of its dispensary and/or cultivation facility so long as such contracts do not violate the requirements of the AMMA or the MMJ Program.

On December 6, 2012, Arizona’s first licensed medical marijuana dispensary opened in Glendale. In November 2020, the state of Arizona will include a ballot measure to be voted on for the legalization of adult-use cannabis.

In order to qualify to use medical marijuana under the AMMA, a patient is required to have a “debilitating medical condition.” Valid medical conditions include: HIV, cancer, glaucoma, immune deficiency syndrome, hepatitis C, Chron’s disease, agitation of Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, cachexia/wasting syndrome, muscle spasms, nausea, seizures, severe and chronic pain or another chronic or debilitating condition.

In order for an applicant to receive a Dispensary Registration Certificate (a ‘‘Certificate’’) they must: (i) fill out an application on the form proscribed by ADHS, (ii) submit the applying entity’s articles of incorporation and by-laws, (iii) submit fingerprints for each principal officer or board member of the applicant for a background check to exclude felonies, (iv) submit a business plan and policies and procedures for inventory control, security, patient education, and patient recordkeeping that are consistent with the AMMA and the Rules to ensure that the dispensary will operate in compliance and (v) designate an Arizona licensed physician as the Medical Director for the dispensary. Certificates are renewed annually so long as the dispensary is in good standing with ADHS and pays the renewal fee and submits an independent third-party financial audit.

 

12


Once an applicant has been issued a Certificate, they are allowed to establish one physical retail dispensary location, one cultivation location which is co-located at the dispensary’s retail site (if allowed by local zoning) and one additional off-site cultivation location. None of these sites can be operational, however, until the dispensary receives an approval to operate from ADHS for the applicable site. This approval to operate requires: (i) an application on the ADHS form, (ii) demonstration of compliance with local zoning regulations, (iii) a site plan and floor plan for the applicable property, and (iv) an in-person inspection by ADHS of the applicable location to ensure compliance with the Rules and consistency with the dispensary’s applicable policies and procedures.

On October 24, 2018, Cresco obtained a 100% ownership interest in Arizona Facilities Supply, LLC which includes a vertically integrated cultivation, processing and dispensary operation in Arizona.

The licenses in Arizona are renewed annually. Before expiry, licensees are required to submit a renewal application. While renewals are granted annually, there is no ultimate expiry after which no renewals are permitted. Additionally, in respect of the renewal process, provided that the requisite renewal fees are paid, the renewal application is submitted in a timely manner, and there are no material violations noted against the applicable license, Cresco would expect to receive the applicable renewed license in the ordinary course of business. While Cresco’s compliance controls have been developed to mitigate the risk of any material violations of a license arising, there is no assurance that Arizona Cannabis licenses will be renewed in the future in a timely manner. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations of Arizona Cannabis and would have a material adverse effect on the Resulting Issuer’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Nevada Operations

Medical marijuana use was legalized in Nevada by a ballot initiative in 2000. In November 2016, voters in Nevada passed an adult use marijuana measure to allow for the sale of recreational marijuana in the state. The first dispensaries to sell adult-use marijuana began sales in July 2017. The Nevada Department of Taxation (“DOT”) is the regulatory agency overseeing the medical and adult-use cannabis programs. Similar to California, cities and counties in Nevada are allowed to determine the number of local marijuana licenses they will issue.

All marijuana establishments must register with DOT. If applications contain all required information and after vetting by officers, establishments are issued a medical marijuana establishment registration certificate. In a local governmental jurisdiction that issues business licenses, the issuance by DOT of a medical marijuana establishment registration certificate is considered provisional until the local government has issued a business license for operation and the establishment is in compliance with all applicable local governmental ordinances. Final registration certificates are valid for a period of one year and are subject to annual renewals after required fees are paid and the business remains in good standing. The renewal periods serve as an update for DOT on the licensee’s status toward active licensure. It is important to note provisional licenses do not permit the operation of any commercial or medical cannabis activity. Only after a provisional licensee has gone through necessary state and local inspections, if applicable, and has received a final registration certificate from DOT may an entity engage in cannabis business operation.

On August 12, 2019, the Company settled its outstanding loan receivable with Lighthouse, which has cannabis operations in Nevada, through receipt of Lighthouse membership units approximating 1.2% ownership of the parent company. The remaining escrow balance was issued as a new secured convertible promissory note convertible, at the Company’s discretion, into additional membership units approximating 1% ownership of the parent company.

New York Operations

The state of New York’s medical cannabis program was introduced in July 2014 when Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the Compassionate Care Act, which legalized medical cannabis oils for patients with certain qualifying conditions. Under this program, five registered organizations (“ROs”) were licensed to dispense cannabis oil to patients, with the first sale to a patient completed in January 2016. In December 2016, the New York State Department of Health (“NYSDOH”) added chronic pain as a qualifying condition and in the month-and-a-half following the addition of chronic pain, the number of registered patients increased by 18%. In August 2017, the NYSDOH granted licenses to five additional registered organizations.

 

13


In November 2017, Governor Cuomo signed a bill to add PTSD as a qualifying condition, and, in July 2018, the NYSDOH added opioid replacement as a qualifying condition, meaning any condition for which an opioid could be prescribed is now a qualifying condition for medical cannabis. In August 2018, Governor Cuomo, prompted by a NYSDOH study which concluded the “positive effects” of cannabis legalization “outweigh the potential negative impacts”, appointed a group to draft a bill for regulating legal adult-use cannabis sales in New York. During Governor Cuomo’s January 2019 State of the State Address, he announced the proposal of the governmental agency, The Office of Cannabis Management. This agency would regulate and oversee the state’s medical marijuana program, adult-use program and hemp program. The executive director of this agency would have the authority to grant ROs currently registered and in good standing with the NYSDOH, the ability to be licensed to cultivate, process or sell adult-use cannabis and cannabis products.

Each RO license allows for the cultivation, processing, and dispensing of medical cannabis products. Each RO is permitted to open four dispensaries in NYSDOH-designated regions throughout the state, and one cultivation/processing facility. Permitted products include oil-based formulations (i.e., vaporizer cartridges, tinctures and capsules), and ground-flower sold in tamper-proof vessels. Each RO is required to cultivate and process all medical cannabis products they dispense; however, wholesale transactions are permitted with approval from the state and home delivery is now permitted.

All cultivation/processing and dispensing establishments must register with the NYSDOH pursuant to Public Health Law § 3365(9). Registrations issued by NYSDOH are valid for a two-year period. As embodied in New York Codes, Rules and Regulations § 1004.7, an application to renew such registrations must be filed with the NYSDOH between six and four months prior to the expiration date, must include information prepared in the manner and detail as the commissioner may require, and should be accompanied by application fees and registration fees. Applications completed in accordance with § 1004.7 would be expected to receive the applicable renewed license in a timely manner.

On October 8, 2019, the Company closed the acquisition of GSC, the parent entity of Valley Ag, for consideration consistent of cash, deferred consideration, equity and contingent consideration based upon the achievement or occurrence of certain milestones or events, all totaling $129,574 thousand. Valley Ag is one of the ten holders of a vertically integrated license from NYSDOH allowing for the cultivation and processing of medical cannabis as well as the establishment of four medical cannabis dispensaries in the state of New York. To date, Valley Ag has four (4) dispensaries and a processing facility open. Valley Ag has successfully renewed their initial licenses and all licenses are, as of the date hereof, active with the State of New York.

Through the aforementioned agreements and regulatory approval, Cresco now has a license for a cultivation and manufacturing facility within the state of New York, as well as four (4) dispensary locations strategically located across the state.

Massachusetts Operations

The Massachusetts medical cannabis market was established through “An Act for the Humanitarian Medical Use of Marijuana” in November 2012 when voters passed Ballot Question 3 “Massachusetts Medical Marijuana Initiative” with 63% of the vote. The first Massachusetts dispensary opened in June 2015 and by November 2016, Massachusetts voters legalized adult-use cannabis by passing ballot Question 4 – Legalize Marijuana with 54% of the vote. In July 2017, Governor Baker signed legislation that would lay the groundwork for the state’s adult-use market. The Cannabis Control Commission (the state’s regulatory body which creates regulations for both the medical and adult-use market) aimed to officially launch adult-use sales on July 1, 2018, but stumbling blocks such as a lack of licensed testing labs and disagreements between officials and businesses had slowed the rollout, as sales for adult-use cannabis officially began in November 2018.

The Cannabis Control Commission oversees the medical and adult-use cannabis programs. Each medical licensee must be vertically integrated and may have up to two locations. Licensed medical dispensaries are given priority in adult-use licensing. Adult-use cultivators will be grouped into 11 tiers of production (ranging from up to 5,000 square feet to no larger than 100,000 square feet) and regulators will move a licensee down to a lower tier if that licensee has not shown an ability to sell at least 70 percent of what it produced. Medical dispensaries that wish to add the ability to sell cannabis products to nonpatients will be required to reserve 35 percent of their inventory or the six-month average of their medical cannabis sales for medical cannabis patients. In order to achieve an adult-use license, a prospective licensee must first sign a “Host Community Agreement” with the town in which it wishes to locate. Roughly two-thirds of municipalities in the state have a ban or moratorium in place that prohibits cannabis businesses from operating within their jurisdiction. In both the medical and adult-use markets, extracted oils, edibles, and flower products are permitted, as well as wholesaling.

On or about November 19, 2018, Cresco entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the shares and membership interests, as applicable, of HHH and an affiliated real estate entity for consideration consisting of cash and the assumption of certain indebtedness. HHH holds a final certificate of registration from the State of Massachusetts Department of Health that allows for cultivation, manufacturing and processing, and the establishment and operation of a medical cannabis dispensary in Fall River, Massachusetts. The final certificate of registration allows HHH the ability to apply for up to two additional such licenses. HHH holds a final license from the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission that allows for cultivation, manufacturing and processing, and the establishment and operation of an adult-use cannabis dispensary in Fall River, Massachusetts. On October 1, 2019, Cresco Labs, LLC acquired HHH via certain agreements giving it operational control before cash consideration was settled. In January 2020, HHH entered into a host community agreement with the municipality of Fall River to allow for the siting of a medical/adult-use cannabis dispensary. On February 7, 2020, the Company announced the legal close of the acquisition and cash funding of $27,500 thousand. The closing coincided with state approval allowing recreational cannabis sales at the Company’s Fall River dispensary.

Michigan Operations

In November 2008, Michigan residents approved the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act (the “MMMA”) to provide a legal framework for a safe and effective medical marijuana program. In September 2016, the Michigan Senate passed the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act (the “MMFLA”) and the Marihuana Tracking Act (the “MTA” and together with the MMMA and the MMFLA, the “Michigan Cannabis Regulations”) to provide a comprehensive licensing and tracking scheme, respectively, for the medical marijuana program. Additionally, the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs and its licensing board (“LARA”) has supplemented the Michigan Cannabis Regulations with “Emergency Rules” to further clarify the regulatory landscape surrounding the medical marijuana program. LARA is the main regulatory authority for the licensing of marijuana businesses.

Under the MMFLA, LARA administrates five types of “state operating licenses” for medical marijuana businesses: (a) a “grower” license, (b) a “processor” license, (c) a “secure transporter” license, (d) a “provisioning center” license and (e) a “safety compliance facility” license. There are no stated limits on the number of licenses that can be made available on a state level; however, LARA has discretion over the approval of applications and municipalities can pass additional restrictions.

On November 6, 2018, Michigan voters approved Proposal 1, to make marijuana legal under state and local law for adults 21 years of age or older and to control the commercial production and distribution of marijuana under a system that licenses, regulates, and taxes the businesses involved. The act will be known as the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act. According to Proposal 1, LARA is required to start accepting applications for retail (recreational) dispensaries within 12 months of the measure’s effective date.

On March 25, 2019, the Company announced that its affiliate had completed the most comprehensive portion of Michigan’s application process, being pre-qualified for a cultivation and processing license by the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Medical Marihuana Licensing Board. The pre-qualification represents the authorization of the entity to move forward with the licensing process for its intended facilities.

On November 13, 2019, the state’s Marijuana Regulatory Agency announced any existing medically licensed businesses would be allowed to sell recreational-use cannabis beginning December 1, 2019. On March 5, 2020, the Company’s affiliate was issued a medical processing license to begin manufacturing and processing flower into edible medical marijuana products and/or medical marijuana-infused products. It is estimated that Michigan has over 280,000 medical marijuana patients, which represents the second largest medical marijuana patient based in the United States.

On March 16, 2020, the Company’s affiliate received pre-qualification to operate in the adult-use market and expects to receive an adult-use processor license in late May or early June of 2020.

Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenue

We derive the majority of our revenue from wholesale of cannabis products to dispensary locations which, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, represents approximately 58% of our revenue. Revenue from company-owned retail dispensary locations, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 represents the remaining 42%. Retail revenue includes medical and adult-use cannabis sales in the United States along with nicotine vape sales in Canada.

Gross Profit

Gross profit is calculated as revenue less cost of sales – production costs, which includes cultivation costs of biological assets; realized changes in fair value of inventory sold; and unrealized gain (loss) on changes in fair value of biological assets. Cost of sales – production costs includes the direct costs attributable to the production of the products sold and is comprised of the following:

 

   

Direct labor costs: These expenses include all salaries, benefits, and taxes for all employees at the facility.

 

   

Direct supplies: The total direct material cost for maintenance of the plants, the supplies and nutrients, and the production expenses and equipment used to process medical marijuana.

 

   

Facility expenses: The facility expense for the cultivation operations is the cost for the facility, utilities, property taxes, maintenance, and costs associated with monitoring the security systems.

 

   

Other operating expenses: These expenses include all costs associated with the facility itself including: insurance, community outreach programs, professional services, uniforms, employee training programs, tracking and inventory management systems, product testing, distribution, business development, and information technology and license renewal fees.

Cultivation costs of biological assets are comprised of cannabis plant costs and are immediately expensed in cost of sales – production costs in the period in which they are incurred.

In addition to market fluctuations, cannabis costs are affected by various state regulations that limit the sourcing and procurement of cannabis products. The changes in regulatory environments may create fluctuations in gross profit over comparative periods.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)

SG&A expenses consist mainly of salary and benefits costs of executive and back office staff, consulting and professional fees such as legal and accounting, office, advertising and marketing, excise taxes, travel and entertainment and share-based compensation.

Selling costs generally correlate to revenue. As a percentage of sales, we expect SG&A costs to decrease as our business continues to grow. The decrease is expected to be driven primarily by efficiencies associated with scaling the business.

Income Taxes

The Company, which is and will continue to be a Canadian corporation, is also expected to be classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a United States corporation under Section 7874 of the Code. The Company is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates and, consequently, income tax expense is a function of the allocation of taxable income by jurisdiction and the various activities that impact the timing of taxable events. As the Company operates in the legal cannabis industry, the Company is subject to the limits of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 280E under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E and a higher effective tax rate than most industries.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

Operational gross profit, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-IFRS measures and do not have standardized definitions under IFRS. The following information provides reconciliations of the supplemental non-IFRS financial measures, presented herein to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $66,380 thousand, an increase of $45,325 thousand, or 215%, compared to revenue of $21,055 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in revenue was driven by the acquisitions of Origin House, Valley Ag and HHH and continued growth in the states where the Company operates.

Cost of Sales – Production Costs, Gross Profit, and Operational Gross Profit (non-IFRS)

Cost of sales – production costs for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $46,200 thousand, an increase of $31,486 thousand compared to cost of sales – production costs of $14,714 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to the Origin House, Valley Ag and HHH acquisitions and increased cultivation capacity in the Illinois and Pennsylvania markets. This also included net cultivation costs which were immediately expensed under the Company’s accounting policy for biological assets of $6,050 thousand and $3,043 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Gross profit increased primarily due to the increase in revenue from the prior-year quarter. Operational gross profit for the first quarter of 2020, a non-IFRS measure which excludes the impact of biological assets accounting and cultivation costs immediately expensed, as discussed above, was $32,000 thousand, compared to an operational gross profit of $9,384 thousand for the prior year. Operational gross profit reflects revenue less costs related to products sold in the period. The increase of $22,616 thousand from the prior year was primarily driven by the addition of Origin House, Valley Ag and HHH, organic growth and greater scale and improved operational efficiencies in its established Illinois and Pennsylvania markets. Operational gross profit percentage of approximately 48.2% was higher when compared with the prior year, as the benefit of operational efficiencies in the Company’s more established markets exceeded the impact of emerging and recently acquired businesses where the Company is focused on footprint expansion and relaunching Cresco-branded products. The Company expects margin expansion as these operations scale.

Total Expenses

Total expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $51,272 thousand, an increase of $33,526 thousand compared to total expenses of $17,746 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in total expenses was attributable to acquisition and other non-core costs, depreciation and amortization, as well as significant investments in our team and operational infrastructure to drive strategic initiatives that better position the Company for future growth.

Total Other Income (Expense)

Total other income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $7,163 thousand, a change of $7,680 thousand compared to other expense of $517 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in total other income (expense) was primarily due to unrealized gains recognized on financial instruments carried at fair value, partially offset by higher interest expense resulting from the loan agreements the Company entered into and acquired during the period. See Notes 17 and 20 in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 for more information.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $3,462 thousand compared to a recovery of $37 thousand in the prior period. The change was due to increased amounts of permanently nondeductible expenses under Section 280E.

Net Loss and Adjusted EBITDA (non-IFRS)

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $13,431 thousand, compared to a net loss of $7,574 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Higher gross profit in the current year was more than offset by higher operating expenses and current period income tax expense.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS measure which excludes non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, net interest expense, income taxes, other income and expense, as well as share-based compensation and acquisition and other non-core costs, was $17,134 thousand and $4,174 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Excluding the impact of biological assets, adjusted EBITDA was $3,174 thousand and $(137) thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

As of March 31, 2020, the Company held $68,581 thousand in cash and cash equivalents, $2,795 thousand in restricted cash and $75,059 thousand of working capital compared to December 31, 2019, where we held $49,102 thousand in cash and cash equivalents, $5,050 thousand in restricted cash and $9,169 thousand of working capital. The increase of $65,890 thousand in working capital was primarily due to an increase in inventory and cash and cash equivalents as well as a decrease in deferred consideration, contingent consideration and other payables between periods.

We expect that our cash on hand and cash flows from operations, along with private and/or public financing, will be adequate to meet our capital requirements and operational needs for the next 12 months.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $40,101 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $33,420 thousand compared to net cash used in operating activities of $6,681 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to timing of working capital requirements in the current period driven by increased costs associated with our expansion in new and existing markets as well as higher non-core and acquisition-related costs.

 

20


Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $38,641 thousand for the three months March 31, 2020, an increase of $21,158 thousand compared to $17,483 thousand used in investing for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to increases in purchases of property and equipment as the Company continues to expand its operations and payment of deferred consideration related to prior-year acquisitions, partially offset by proceeds received from sale and leaseback transactions.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $95,020 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2020, a change of $95,483 thousand compared to $463 thousand of cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt during the period.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s financial instruments are held at amortized cost (adjusted for impairments or expected credit losses, as applicable) or fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). The carrying values of financial instruments held at amortized cost approximate their fair values as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 due to their nature and relatively short maturity date. Financial assets and liabilities with embedded derivative features are carried at FVTPL.

Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs to fair value measurements. The three levels of hierarchy are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

There have been no transfers between fair value levels valuing these assets during the year.

Unless otherwise noted, the Company considers all financial instruments measured at FVTPL to be Level 1 instruments.

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Financial Risk Management

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board mitigates these risks by assessing, monitoring and approving the Company’s risk management processes:

 

  i.

Credit and Banking Risk

Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The maximum credit exposure at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and loans receivable. The Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to its customers or loan counterparties, based primarily on cannabis industry growth in our key markets and the low interest rate environment. Although all deposited cash is placed with U.S. financial institutions in good standing with regulatory authorities, changes in U.S. federal banking laws related to the deposit and holding of funds derived from activities related to the cannabis industry have passed the House of Representatives, but has not yet been voted on within the Senate. Given that current U.S. federal law provides that the production and possession of cannabis is illegal, there is a strong argument that banks cannot accept and deposit funds from businesses involved with the cannabis industry.

The novel coronavirus or COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 12, 2020 and has caused significant economic uncertainty and consequently it is difficult to reliably measure the potential impact of this uncertainty on our future financial results.

 

  ii.

Asset Forfeiture Risk

Because the cannabis industry remains illegal under U.S. federal law, any property owned by participants in the cannabis industry which are either used in the course of conducting such business, or are the proceeds of such business, could be subject to seizure by law enforcement and subsequent civil asset forfeiture. Even if the owner of the property were never charged with a crime, the property in question could still be seized and subject to an administrative proceeding by which, with minimal due process, it could be subject to forfeiture.

 

  iii.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due. In February 2020, the Company entered into a non-brokered credit agreement for a senior secured term loan with an initial principal balance of $100,000 thousand. The Company will continue to raise capital as needed to fund operations and expansion. The maturity analysis for lease obligations is located at Note 7 of the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

 

  iv.

Market Risk

 

  a.

Currency Risk

The operating results and financial position of the Company are reported in U.S. dollars. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are denominated primarily in U.S. dollars. However, from time to time some of the Company’s financial transactions are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The results of the Company’s operations are subject to currency transaction and translation risks. The Company recorded a $600 thousand foreign exchange gain related to warrants during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

 

24


As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.

 

  b.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company calculates an incremental borrowing rate to use in the valuation of its financial instruments. The Company’s effective interest rates for its Term Loan range from 15.9% to 16.7% and the stated interest rate ranges from 12.7% to 13.2% based on the term elected by the lender. The Company’s weighted average effective interest rate for its Opaskwayak Cree Nation (“OCN”) loan is 23.8% and its stated interest rate is 10%. See Note 14 of the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for further information.

 

  c.

Price Risk

Price risk is the risk of variability in fair value due to movements in equity or market prices. The Company is subject to price risk related to derivative liabilities, contingent consideration and liability classified restricted stock units that are valued based on the Company’s own stock price. An increase or decrease in stock price by 10% would result in an associated increase or decrease in fair value and Other income (expense), net of $2,072 thousand.

 

  d.

Tax Risk

Tax risk is the risk of changes in the tax environment that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. Currently, state licensed marijuana businesses are assessed a comparatively high effective federal tax rate due to section 280E, which bars businesses from deducting all expenses except their cost of sales when calculating federal tax liability. Any increase in tax levies resulting from additional tax measures may have a further adverse effect on the operations of the Company, while any decrease in such tax levies will be beneficial to future operations. See Note 24 of the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the Company’s disclosure of uncertain tax positions.

 

  e.

Regulatory Risk

Regulatory risk pertains to the risk that the Company’s business objectives are contingent, in part, upon the compliance of regulatory requirements. Due to the nature of the industry, the Company recognizes that regulatory requirements are more stringent and punitive in nature. Any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain regulatory approvals can significantly delay operational and product development and can have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operation, and financial condition.

The Company is cognizant of the advent of regulatory changes occurring in the cannabis industry on the city, state and national levels. Although regulatory outlook on the cannabis industry has been moving in a positive trend, the Company is aware of the effect that unforeseen regulatory changes can have on the goals and operations of the business as a whole.

A Shareholder who wishes to appoint a person other than the management nominees identified on the form of proxy or voting instruction form, to represent him, her or it at the Meeting may do so by inserting such person’s name in the blank space provided in the form of proxy or voting instruction form and following the instructions for submitting such form of proxy or voting instruction form. In order to be valid and acted upon at the Meeting, completed proxies or votes must be received by Odyssey Trust Company by 10:00 a.m. (Central Daylight Time) on June 25, 2020 or, in the case of any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting, at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the time of the adjourned or postponed Meeting. A person appointed as proxyholder need not be a Shareholder. See the Information Circular for further instructions.

 


Shareholders should follow the instructions on the forms they receive and if they have any questions contact their intermediaries or Odyssey Trust Company, the Corporation’s transfer agent, toll free within North America at 1.800.517.4553, outside of North America at 1.587.885.0960 or by e-mail at proxy@odysseytrust.com.

We ask that Shareholders also review and follow the instructions of any regional health authorities of the State of Illinois, including the City of Chicago and any other health authority holding jurisdiction over the areas you must travel through to attend the Meeting.

All Shareholders are strongly encouraged to vote by submitting their completed form of proxy (or voting instruction form) prior to the Meeting by one of the means described in the Information Circular accompanying this Notice.

The Corporation reserves the right to take any additional pre-cautionary measures deemed to be appropriate, necessary or advisable in relation to the Meeting in response to further developments in the COVID-19 outbreak and in order to ensure compliance with federal, state and local laws and orders, including without limitation: (i) holding the Meeting virtually or by providing a webcast of the Meeting; (ii) hosting the Meeting solely by means of remote communication; (iii) changing the Meeting date and/or changing the means of holding the Meeting; (iv) denying access to persons who exhibit cold or flu-like symptoms, or who have, or have been in close contact with someone who has, travelled to/from outside of the United States or Canada within the 14 days immediately prior to the Meeting; and (v) such other measures as may be recommended by public health authorities in connection with gatherings of persons such as the Meeting. Should any such changes to the Meeting format occur, the Corporation will announce any and all of these changes by way of news release, which will be filed under the Corporation’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com as well as on our Corporation website at www.crescolabs.com.

CRESCO LABS INC.

ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON JUNE 29, 2020

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

GENERAL

This management information circular (the “Circular”) is furnished to holders (“Shareholders”) of Subordinate Voting Shares, Proportionate Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares (collectively, the “Voting Shares”) of Cresco Labs Inc. (the “Corporation” or “Cresco”) in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of the Corporation for use at the annual and special meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”), and at any adjournment or postponement thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual and Special Meeting (the “Notice of Meeting”). The Meeting is scheduled to be held on June 29, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. (Central Daylight Time), at Aon Center, Randolph Training Room, 200 East Randolph St., Suite 5100, Chicago, Illinois and will be available by teleconference toll free within North America at 1.800.901.0218 and outside of North America at 1.719.234.0223, Meeting ID: 499 321 5764.

The information contained herein is given as of June 3, 2020, except where otherwise indicated.

If you hold Voting Shares through a broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company, nominee or other intermediary (collectively, an “Intermediary”), you should contact your Intermediary for instructions and assistance in voting the Voting Shares that you beneficially own.

This solicitation is made on behalf of management of the Corporation. The costs incurred in the preparation of both the form of proxy and this Circular will be borne by the Corporation. In addition to the use of mail, proxies may be solicited by telephone or any form of electronic communication or by directors, officers and employees of the Corporation who will not be directly compensated therefor.

Due to the ongoing concerns related to the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and in order to protect the health and safety of Shareholders, employees, other stakeholders and the community and to comply with the procedures imposed by both federal, state and local governments, Shareholders are strongly encouraged to listen to the Meeting via teleconference instead of attending the Meeting in person and to vote on the matters before the Meeting by proxy, appointing the Management Designees (as defined below) named in the accompanying proxy form or voting instruction form in order to limit the number of attendees in person.

No person is authorized to give any information or to make any representation other than those contained in this Circular and, if given or made, such information or representation should not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Corporation. The delivery of this Circular shall not, under any circumstances, create an implication that there has not been any change in the information set forth herein since the date hereof.

Please read this Circular carefully to obtain information about how you may participate at the Meeting either in person or through the use of proxies.

PROXY RELATED INFORMATION

Attendance and Voting

Only registered Shareholders, or the persons they appoint as their proxies, are permitted to attend, speak and vote on all matters that may properly be voted upon at the Meeting.

Beneficial Shareholders who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder will not be able to attend, participate or vote at the Meeting. This is because the Corporation and its transfer agent do not have a record of the Beneficial Shareholders of the Corporation, and, as a result, will have no knowledge of your shareholdings or entitlement to vote,

 


unless you appoint yourself as proxyholder. If you are a Beneficial Shareholder and wish to vote at the Meeting, you have to appoint yourself as proxyholder, by inserting your own name in the space provided on the voting instruction form sent to you and must follow all of the applicable instructions provided by your Intermediary. See “Appointment of Third Party as Proxy.

All references to Shareholders in this Circular and the accompanying form of proxy and Notice of Meeting are to Shareholders of record, unless specifically stated otherwise.

While as of the date of this Circular, the Corporation intends to hold the Meeting in physical face to face format, we are continuously monitoring the current coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. In light of the rapidly evolving news and guidelines related to COVID-19, we ask that, in considering whether to attend the Meeting in person, Shareholders follow the instructions of any regional health authorities of the State of Illinois, including the City of Chicago and any other health authority holding jurisdiction over the areas you must travel through to attend the Meeting. Please do not attend the Meeting in person if you are experiencing any cold or flu-like symptoms, or if you or someone with whom you have been in close contact has travelled to/from outside of the United States or Canada within the 14 days immediately prior to the Meeting. All Shareholders are strongly encouraged to vote by submitting their completed form of proxy (or voting instruction form) prior to the Meeting by one of the means described in the Circular.

The Corporation reserves the right to take any additional pre-cautionary measures deemed to be appropriate, necessary or advisable in relation to the Meeting in response to further developments in the COVID-19 outbreak and in order to ensure compliance with federal, state and local laws and orders, including without limitation: (i) holding the Meeting virtually or by providing a webcast of the Meeting; (ii) hosting the Meeting solely by means of remote communication; (iii) changing the Meeting date and/or changing the means of holding the Meeting; (iv) denying access to persons who exhibit cold or flu-like symptoms, or who have, or have been in close contact with someone who has, travelled to/from outside of the United States or Canada within the 14 days immediately prior to the Meeting; and (v) such other measures as may be recommended by public health authorities in connection with gatherings of persons such as the Meeting. Should any such changes to the Meeting format occur, the Corporation will announce any and all of these changes by way of news release, which will be filed under the Corporation’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com as well as on our Corporation website at www.crescolabs.com. We strongly recommend you check the Corporation’s website prior to the Meeting for the most current information. In the event of any changes to the Meeting format due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Corporation will not prepare or mail amended materials in respect of the Meeting.

The Meeting will be available via teleconference and all Shareholders are urged to listen to the Meeting as follows:

To join the Meeting via teleconference, please dial: 1.800.901.0218, within North America, 1.719.234.0223 outside North America and when prompted by the telephone system, enter the Meeting ID: 499 321 5764.

Please note that you will not be able to vote via teleconference. If you intend to listen to the Meeting via teleconference you must vote on the matters prior to the Meeting. Votes must be received by Odyssey Trust Company (“Odyssey”) no later than 10:00 a.m. (Central Daylight Time) on June 25, 2020 (the “Proxy Deadline”) or no later than forty-eight (48) hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays or statutory holidays in the Province of British Columbia) before any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting.

Appointment of Third Party as Proxy

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are officers and/or directors of the Corporation and each is a management designee (collectively, the “Management Designees”). Management Designees will vote IN FAVOUR of each of the matters specified in the Notice of Meeting and all other matters proposed by management at the Meeting. Each Shareholder submitting a proxy has the right to appoint a person, who need not be a Shareholder (a “third party proxyholder”), to represent, attend, participate or vote at the Meeting on such Shareholder’s behalf, other than the Management Designees. A Shareholder may exercise this right by completing the steps set forth below and depositing the completed proxy to Odyssey prior to the Proxy Deadline.

The following applies to Shareholders who wish to appoint a person other than the Management Designees (including someone who is not a Shareholder) set forth in the form of proxy or voting instruction form as proxyholder, including Beneficial Shareholders who wish to appoint themselves as proxyholder to attend, participate or vote at the Meeting.

 

2


To appoint a third party proxyholder, insert such person’s name in the blank space provided in the form of proxy or voting instruction form (if permitted) and follow the instructions for submitting such form of proxy or voting instruction form. If you are a Beneficial Shareholder located in the United States, you must also provide Odyssey with a duly completed legal proxy if you wish to attend, participate or vote at the Meeting or, if permitted, appoint a third party as your proxyholder. See below under this section for additional details.

If you are a Beneficial Shareholder and wish to attend, participate or vote at the Meeting, you have to insert your own name in the space provided on the voting instruction form sent to you by your Intermediary and follow all of the applicable instructions provided by your Intermediary. By doing so, you are instructing your Intermediary to appoint you as proxyholder. It is important that you comply with the signature and return instructions provided by your Intermediary.

Legal Proxy – U.S. Beneficial Shareholders

If you are a Beneficial Shareholder located in the United States and wish to attend, participate or vote at the Meeting or, if permitted, appoint a third party as your proxyholder, in addition to the steps described above and below, you must obtain a valid legal proxy from your Intermediary. Follow the instructions from your Intermediary included with the legal proxy form and the voting information form sent to you, or contact your Intermediary to request a legal proxy form or a legal proxy if you have not received one. After obtaining a valid legal proxy from your Intermediary, you must then submit such legal proxy to Odyssey prior to the Proxy Deadline.

Refusal of Proxy

The Corporation may refuse to recognize any instrument of proxy received later than the Proxy Deadline.

Revocability of Proxy

A Shareholder who has given a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time prior to the exercise thereof. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by:

 

  (a)

signing a proxy with a later date and delivering it to the place noted above prior to the Proxy Deadline;

 

  (b)

signing and dating a written notice of revocation and delivering it to Odyssey, or by transmitting a revocation by telephonic or electronic means, to Odyssey, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment of it, at which the proxy is to be used, or delivering a written notice of revocation and delivering it to the Chair of the Meeting prior to the commencement of the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof; or

 

  (c)

attending the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting and registering with the scrutineer as a shareholder present.

Advice to Beneficial Holders of Voting Shares

The information in this section is of significant importance to many Shareholders, as a substantial number of Shareholders do not hold their Voting Shares in their own name. Shareholders who do not hold their Voting Shares in their own name, referred to in this Circular as “Beneficial Shareholders,” are advised that only proxies deposited by Shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Corporation as the registered holders of Voting Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Voting Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by an Intermediary, then in almost all cases those Voting Shares will not be registered in the Shareholder’s name on the records of the Corporation. Such Voting Shares will more likely be registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for CDS is Clearing and Depository Services Inc., which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms).

Existing regulatory policy requires Intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders’ meetings. The various Intermediaries have their own mailing procedures and provide their own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Voting Shares are voted at the Meeting. The form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its Intermediary (or the agent of the Intermediary) is substantially similar to the form of proxy provided directly to registered Shareholders by the Corporation. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered Shareholder (i.e., the Intermediary or agent of the Intermediary) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The vast majority of Intermediaries now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) in Canada. Broadridge typically prepares a machine-readable voting instruction form, mails those forms to Beneficial Shareholders and asks Beneficial Shareholders to return the forms to Broadridge, or otherwise communicate voting instructions to Broadridge (by way of the internet or telephone, for example). Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder who receives a Broadridge voting instruction form cannot use that form to vote Voting Shares directly at the Meeting. The voting instruction forms must be returned to Broadridge (or instructions respecting the voting of Voting Shares must otherwise be communicated to Broadridge) well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Voting Shares voted. If you have any questions regarding the voting of Voting Shares held through an Intermediary, please contact that Intermediary for assistance.

Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting, Voting Shares registered in the name of an Intermediary, a Beneficial Shareholder may attend the Meeting as proxyholder for the registered Shareholder and vote the Voting Shares in that capacity. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting and indirectly vote their Voting Shares as proxyholder for the registered Shareholder, should enter their own names in the blank space on the form of proxy provided to them and return the same to their Intermediary (or the Intermediary’s agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such Intermediary.

For purposes of applicable securities regulatory policies relating to the dissemination of proxy-related materials and other securityholder materials and the request for voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders, there are two categories of Beneficial Shareholders. Non-objecting Beneficial Shareholders (“NOBOs”) are Beneficial Shareholders who have advised their Intermediary that they do not object to their Intermediary disclosing ownership information to the Corporation, consisting of their name, address, e-mail address, securities holdings and preferred language of communication. Securities legislation restricts the use of that information to matters strictly relating to the affairs of the Corporation. Objecting Beneficial Shareholders (“OBOs”) are Beneficial Shareholders who have advised their Intermediary that they object to their Intermediary disclosing such ownership information to the Corporation. Cresco will not send its proxy-related materials directly to NOBOs under National Instrument 54-101. Cresco does not intend to pay for Intermediaries to forward the proxy-related materials and the voting instruction form to OBOs under National Instrument 54-101. In the case of an OBO, the OBO will not receive the materials unless the OBO’s Intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

Exercise of Discretion with Respect to Proxies

The Voting Shares represented by the enclosed proxy will be voted or withheld from voting on any motion, by ballot or otherwise, in accordance with any indicated instructions contained in a proxy. In the absence of any such direction, such shares will be voted IN FAVOUR of each of the matters set forth in the Notice of Meeting and in this Circular and all other matters proposed by management at the Meeting.

If any amendment or variation to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting is proposed at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, or if any other matters properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the enclosed proxy confers discretionary authority to vote on such amendments or variations or such other matters according to the best judgment of the appointed proxyholder. As at the date of this Circular, the management of the Corporation is not aware of any amendments or variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

The authorized share capital of the Corporation consists of an unlimited number of Subordinate Voting Shares, of which 158,874,983 are issued and outstanding as of the date of this Circular, an unlimited number of Proportionate Voting Shares, of which 252,994 (which are convertible on a 1:200 basis into 50,598,820 Subordinate Voting Shares) are issued and outstanding as of the date of this Circular, and an unlimited number of Super Voting Shares, of which 500,000 are issued and outstanding as of the date of this Circular.

Voting Rights

Each Subordinate Voting Share is entitled to one vote per Subordinate Voting Share, each Proportionate Voting Share is entitled to one vote in respect of each Subordinate Voting Share into which such Proportionate Voting Share could ultimately then be converted, which is currently equal to 200 votes per Proportionate Voting Share, and each Super Voting Share is currently entitled to 2,000 votes per Super Voting Share on all matters upon which the holders of shares of the Corporation are entitled to vote, in each case as of the Record Date, and holders of Subordinate Voting Shares, Proportionate Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares will vote together on all matters subject to a vote of holders of each of those classes of shares as if they were one class of shares, except to the extent that a separate vote of holders as a separate class is required by law or provided by the articles of the Corporation.

As of the date of this Circular, the Subordinate Voting Shares represent approximately 12.8%, the Proportionate Voting Shares represent approximately 4.2% and the Super Voting Shares represent approximately 83% of the voting rights attached to outstanding Voting Shares of the Corporation.

Subordinate Voting Shares

The Subordinate Voting Shares are “restricted securities” within the meaning of such term under applicable Canadian securities laws. In the event that a take-over bid is made for the Super Voting Shares, the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares will not be entitled to participate in such offer and may not tender their shares into any such offer, whether under the terms of the Subordinate Voting Shares or under any coattail trust or similar agreement. Notwithstanding this, any take-over bid for solely the Super Voting Shares is unlikely, given that by the terms of the investment agreement entered into by the Corporation and the holders of the Super Voting Shares in connection with the issuance of the Super Voting Shares to such holders, upon any sale of Super Voting Shares to an unrelated third party purchaser, such Super Voting Shares will be redeemed by the Corporation for their issue price. Additionally, holders of Subordinate Voting Shares are entitled to convert to Proportionate Voting Shares and tender to any take-over bid made solely to the holders of Proportionate Voting Shares.

Record Date

The record date for the determination of Shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof is May 11, 2020 (the “Record Date”). Accordingly, only Shareholders whose names have been entered in the register of Shareholders at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting, or any adjournments or postponements thereof.

Principal Holders of Securities

To the best of the knowledge of the Corporation, based on publicly available filings, as of the Record Date, no person or company, owns, or controls or directs, directly or indirectly, Voting Shares carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to any class of Voting Shares of the Corporation, except for the following:

3. Appointment of Auditors

On August 22, 2019, the Corporation appointed Marcum LLP as independent auditors of the Corporation. At the Meeting, the Shareholders will be asked to reappoint Marcum LLP as independent auditors of the Corporation to serve until the close of the next annual meeting of Shareholders and to authorize the directors to fix their remuneration.

Unless otherwise directed to the contrary, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy to vote proxies IN FAVOUR of the appointment of Marcum LLP as independent auditors of the Corporation at remuneration to be fixed by the Board. In order to be effective, the ordinary resolution must be approved by not less than a majority of the votes cast thereon by Shareholders who are present at the Meeting or by proxy.

4. Adoption of Amendment to Articles

The Board proposes to amend the Corporation’s current authorized share structure and articles (the “Existing Articles”) by amending the authorized share structure and articles (the “Amended Articles”) to create a new class of special subordinate voting shares (the “Special Subordinate Voting Shares”) and to vary the special rights and restrictions attached to the Subordinate Voting Shares, Proportionate Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares to reflect the creation of the Special Subordinate Voting Shares.

The Board proposes to issue Special Subordinate Voting Shares to officers of the Corporation who are not resident in the United States from time to time as part of their executive compensation, in order to increase and further align such officers’ interest in the Corporation with that of Shareholders. Further, the issuance of Special Subordinate Voting Shares to such officers will decrease the proportion of the outstanding voting securities of the Corporation that are held by “U.S. persons” for the purposes of determining whether the Corporation is a “foreign private issuer” under United States securities laws.

Amendments in the Amended Articles

Below is a summary of the proposed amendments contained in the Amended Articles, with such summary qualified in its entirety by the Existing Articles, and the Amended Articles, a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule “B”.

 

  (a)

The Amended Articles contemplate the creation of an unlimited number of Special Subordinate Voting Shares which are convertible under certain circumstances, initially, into 0.00001 of a Subordinate Voting Share.

 

  (b)

The Corporation intends to issue Special Subordinate Voting Shares from time to time to officers of the Corporation who are not resident in the United States as part of their executive compensation in order to increase and further align such officers’ interests in the Corporation with those of the Shareholders. The issuance of Special Subordinate Voting Shares would also decrease the proportion of the outstanding voting securities of the Corporation that are held by “U.S. persons” for purposes of determining whether the Corporation is a “foreign private issuer” under United States securities laws.

 

  (c)

The Special Subordinate Voting Shares shall be entitled to receive notice of and to attend at any meeting of the shareholders of Corporation, except a meeting of which only holders of another particular class or series of shares of the Corporation shall have the right to vote. At such meeting, holders of Special Subordinate Voting Shares will be entitled to one vote in respect of each Subordinate Voting Shares into which such Special Subordinate Voting Shares could ultimately then be converted, which for greater certainty, shall initially be equal to 0.00001 of a vote per Special Subordinate Voting Share.

 

  (d)

The holders of the Special Subordinate Voting Shares shall be entitled to receive dividends as may be granted to holders of the Subordinate Voting Shares or Proportionate Voting Shares, on an as-converted basis, assuming conversion of all Special Subordinate Voting Shares into Subordinate Voting Shares at the Special Conversion Ratio. The initial “Special Conversion Ratio” for shares of Special Subordinate Voting Shares will be 0.00001 Subordinate Voting Shares, subject to certain

 

9


  adjustments. No dividends will be declared or paid on the Special Subordinate Voting Shares unless the Corporation simultaneously declares or pay, as applicable, equivalent dividends (on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Share basis) on the Subordinate Voting Shares and the Proportionate Voting Shares. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Special Subordinate Voting Shares shall be entitled to receive the remaining property and assets of the Corporation together with the holders of the Subordinate Voting Shares and Proportionate Voting Shares, on an as-converted into Subordinate Voting Shares basis. Subject to certain restrictions, each Special Subordinate Voting Share may be converted, based on the Special Conversion Ratio, to Subordinate Voting Share upon prior written consent of the Board or a committee thereof. The Special Subordinate Voting Shares will also be automatically converted into Subordinate Voting Shares in certain circumstances.

 

  (e)

As long as any Special Subordinate Voting Shares remain outstanding, the Corporation will not, without the consent of the holders of the Special Subordinate Voting Shares by special resolution, prejudice or interfere with any right or special right attached to the Special Subordinate Voting Shares.

 

  (f)

The Corporation also has the right to redeem all or some of the Special Subordinate Voting Shares with two days prior written notice to such holders for either (i) cash, at a price per Special Subordinate Voting Share equal to the Special Conversion Ratio multiplied by the average volume weighted average trading price of the Subordinate Voting Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (or such other stock exchange or quotation system the Subordinate Voting Shares are then principally listed or quoted) for the ten (10) trading days immediately prior to the date the Corporation delivers the redemption notice to the holder; or (ii) Subordinate Voting Shares at the Special Conversion Ratio. In the event that a take-over bid is made for the Super Voting Shares or the Subordinate Voting Shares, the holders of the Special Subordinate Voting Shares shall not be entitled to participate in such offer and may not tender their shares into any such offer, whether under the terms of the Special Subordinate Voting Shares or under any coattail trust or similar agreement, absent being permitted to convert such shares into Subordinate Voting Shares.

 

  (g)

No Special Subordinate Voting Share may be transferred by the holder without prior written consent of the Board (or a committee thereof).

 

  (h)

In certain circumstances, the holders of Special Subordinate Voting Shares may be entitled to a proportionate share of certain distributions as though they were the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares. If the Corporation effects a recapitalization or stock split, as defined in the Amended Articles, provisions may be made so that the holders of Special Subordinate Voting Shares may receive the number of Subordinate Voting Shares or other securities or property of the Corporation to which holders of Subordinate Voting Share would have been entitled to subject to certain adjustments.

 

  (i)

No fractional Subordinate Voting Shares will be issued upon the conversion or redemption of any Special Subordinate Voting Shares and the number of Subordinate Voting Shares to be issued will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole Subordinate Voting Share. The Corporation will provide, upon written request, a certificate detailing any adjustments and readjustments to the Special Conversion Ratio for the Special Subordinate Voting Shares at the time in effect, and the number of Subordinate Voting Shares which would be received upon conversion or redemption of a Special Subordinate Voting Share. In the event of any taking by the Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Special Subordinate Voting Shares, at least 20 days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right. A holder of Special Subordinate Voting Shares that beneficially owns more than 5% of the issued and outstanding Special Subordinate Voting Shares has certain dispute rights with respect to calculations under the Special Conversion Ratio.

 

10


  (j)

The Special Subordinate Voting Shares may be subdivided or consolidated by resolution of the Board (or a committee thereof) without the simultaneous subdivision or consolidation of the Subordinate Voting Shares, the Proportionate Voting Shares and the Super Voting Shares in the same manner, provided that the Special Conversion Ratio is correspondingly adjusted and the voting rights of the Special Subordinate Voting Shares is correspondingly adjusted such that the aggregate number of votes held by all holders of Special Subordinate Voting Shares prior to subdivision or consolidation is equal to the aggregate number of votes held by all holders of Special Subordinate Voting Shares following the subdivision or consolidation.

 

  (k)

The creation of the Special Subordinate Voting Shares will in no way materially change the rights and privileges attached to the Subordinate Voting Shares or the Proportionate Voting Shares. Such holders are and will remain entitled to: receive notice of and to attend and vote at all meetings of Shareholders (except meetings of holders of a specified class of shares); receive such dividends as the Board (or a committee thereof) may by resolution determine; and subject to prior rights of the holders of any class of shares having a preference upon liquidation, receive the remaining property and assets of the Corporation in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, in each case, in accordance with the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to each such class of shares. Conversion restrictions notwithstanding each Special Subordinate Voting Share is the functional equivalent of 0.00001 (subject to the Special Conversion Ratio) of one Subordinate Voting Share. Any future issuance to non-US resident officers is expected to have an immaterial impact on the aggregate voting and economic power of existing Shareholders. In some instances, Special Subordinate Voting Shares are afforded the same treatment and rights as other classes of shares of the Corporation including, broadly, events of liquidation, consolidation, and the distribution of dividends. Certain parts of the Articles describing the rights of the other classes of Shares have been amended to reflect this.

The foregoing is only a summary of the Amended Articles. Readers are encouraged to refer to Schedule “B” for the full text of the Amended Articles.

The Board has determined that the creation of the Special Subordinate Voting Shares is in the best interests of the Corporation and has authorized the creation of the Special Subordinate Voting Shares to the Shareholders for their approval at the Meeting.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider, and if thought appropriate, to pass, with or without amendment, a special resolution as follows (the “Amendment Resolution”):

IT IS RESOLVED as a special resolution that:

 

1.

The Corporation’s authorized share structure, its notice of articles and Existing Articles be altered by:

 

  (a)

creating a class of Special Subordinate Voting Shares without par value with no maximum number;

 

  (b)

creating and attaching to the Special Subordinate Voting Shares the special rights and restrictions contained in Part 30 of the Articles of the Corporation as set out in Schedule “B” to this Circular;

 

  (c)

varying the special rights and restrictions attached to:

 

  (i)

the Subordinate Voting Shares to the form set out in Part 27 of Schedule “B” to this Circular;

 

  (ii)

the Super Voting Shares to the form set out in Part 28 of Schedule “B” to this Circular; and

 

  (iii)

the Proportionate Voting Shares to the form set out in Part 29 of Schedule “B” to this Circular;

 

11


  (d)

amending the current Parts 27, 28 and 29 of the Existing Articles in their entirety and adding Parts 27, 28, 29 and Part 30, substantially as set out in Schedule “B” to this Circular, to the Articles of the Corporation.

 

2.

The alterations made to the Existing Articles of the Corporation by this resolution will not take effect until the Notice of Articles of the Corporation has been altered to reflect the alterations made by this resolution.

 

3.

Subject to the deposit of this resolution at the Corporation’s records office, the solicitors for the Corporation are authorized and directed to electronically file the required Notice of Alteration with the Registrar of Companies.

 

4.

The board of directors of the Corporation is authorized in its absolute discretion, to determine whether or not to proceed with the foregoing resolution, without further approval, ratification or confirmation by the Shareholders.

 

5.

Any one director or officer of the Corporation is hereby authorized and directed to do all such acts and things and to execute and deliver all such documents, instruments and assurances as in the opinion of such director or officer may be necessary or desirable to give effect to the foregoing special resolution.”

Unless otherwise directed to the contrary, it is the intention of the persons named as proxyholders in the enclosed form of proxy to vote proxies IN FAVOUR of the Amendment Resolution adopting the Amended Articles.

In order to be effective, the Amendment Resolution must be approved by the affirmative vote of at least (i) two-thirds (66 2/3%) of the votes cast by holders of Subordinate Voting Shares, (ii) two-thirds (66 2/3%) of the votes cast by holders of Proportionate Voting Shares, and (iii) two-thirds (66 2/3%) of the votes cast by holders of Super Voting Shares, present or represented by proxy at the Meeting, voting separately as classes and in each case excluding votes cast by Shareholders that are “affiliates” or “control persons” of the Corporation (within the meaning of Ontario Securities Commission Rule 56-501Restricted Shares (“OSC Rule 56-501”) and National Instrument 41-101General Prospectus Requirements (“NI 41-101”)).

OSC Rule 56-501 and Part 12 of NI 41-101 (collectively, the “Restricted Share Rules”) regulate the creation and distribution of “restricted shares” (as defined in OSC Rule 56-501) and “restricted securities” (as defined in NI 41-101) by reporting issuers in Canada. The definitions of “restricted shares” and “restricted securities” include equity shares which have voting rights exercisable in all circumstances, irrespective of the number or percentage of shares owned, that are less, on a per share basis, than the voting rights attached to any other shares of an outstanding class of shares of the issuer.

“Minority approval” means, for the purposes of the Restricted Share Rules, approval by a majority of the votes cast by holders of Voting Shares, and if required by applicable corporate law, by a majority of the votes cast by holders of a class of shares voting separately as a class, other than, in both cases, (A) “affiliates” of the issuer, or (B) “control persons” of the issuer, as those terms are defined in the Restricted Share Rules.

The Special Subordinate Voting Shares will be “restricted shares” (as defined in OSC Rule 56-501) and “restricted securities” (as defined in NI 41-101). Therefore, the Amendment Resolution must be approved by a majority of the votes cast by the Shareholders, other than the votes attached at the time to the Voting Shares held directly or indirectly by “affiliates” or “control persons” of the Corporation, so that the Corporation can utilize prospectus exemptions under Ontario securities laws or file a prospectus in connection with the distribution of Special Subordinate Voting Shares, for the purposes of future offerings of Special Subordinate Voting Shares without having to obtain the approval of the Shareholders (in accordance with the Restricted Share Rules) for each distribution of Special Subordinate Voting Shares.

To the best of the knowledge of management and the Board, there are no “affiliates” or “control persons” (within the meaning of such term in the Restricted Share Rules) and, accordingly, no Voting Shares of the Corporation are required to be excluded from the applicable vote.

5. Other Business

Management is not aware of any other matters to come before the Meeting, other than those set out in the Notice of Meeting. If other matters come before the Meeting, or if there are amendments or variations to the items of business, the Management Designees will have the discretion to vote as he or she sees fit.

14


The Incentive Plan was established to (i) promote the long-term financial interests and growth of Cresco by attracting and retaining management and other personnel and key service providers with the training, experience and ability to enable them to make a substantial contribution to the success of Cresco’s business, (ii) motivate management personnel by means of growth-related incentives to achieve long-range goals, and (iii) further the alignment of interests of participants in the Incentive Plan with those of the shareholders of Cresco through opportunities for increased stock or stock-based ownership in Cresco.

The Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee and provides that Awards may be issued to (i) officers and employees of Cresco or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) members of the Board, and (iii) other individuals, including non-employee directors and consultants who provide bona fide services to or for Cresco or any of its subsidiaries, provided that such services are not in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction and do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for Cresco’s securities. The Compensation Committee establishes the terms of all Awards consistent with the terms of the Incentive Plan, including vesting and maximum terms.

Oversight and Description of Director and Named Executive Officer Compensation

Cresco’s Compensation Committee is responsible for determining the compensation for the directors and the executive officers.

The Compensation Committee’s primary responsibilities include, among other things, assisting the Board with the selection, retention, adequacy and form of the compensation of senior management and the Board. The Compensation Committee has been tasked with establishing an executive compensation program, which includes equity compensation under the Incentive Plan, and the other elements of compensation described under the heading “Director and Named Executive Officer Compensation.

Compensation Objectives and Principles

The primary goal of the Corporation’s executive compensation program is to attract, motivate and retain the key executives necessary for the Corporation’s long-term success, to encourage executives to further the development of the Corporation, and to align the interests of executives with the Corporation’s shareholders. The key elements of the executive compensation program are: (i) base salary; and (ii) Awards granted under the Incentive Plan.

Compensation Process

The Corporation relies on its Compensation Committee, through discussion without any formal objectives, criteria or analysis, to determine the compensation of the Corporation’s executive officers. The Compensation Committee has not established formal criteria or goals that are tied to total compensation or any significant element of total compensation. The Board is ultimately responsible for all forms of compensation for the Corporation’s executive officers. The Board is responsible for reviewing the recommendations respecting compensation of other officers of the Corporation from time to time, to ensure such arrangements reflect the responsibilities and risks associated with each position. When determining compensation, the Compensation Committee considers a range of factors, including: (i) company performance and individual contributions against key performance indicators, and (ii) peer group benchmarking. The Compensation Committee annually reviews the applicability of the compensation peer group and adjusts the peer group, as necessary, to ensure it remains relevant and comparable with the ever-evolving size and scope of the Corporation’s operations.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

General

The Board views effective corporate governance as an essential element for the effective and efficient operation of the Corporation. The Corporation believes that effective corporate governance improves corporate performance and benefits all its Shareholders. The following statement of corporate governance practices sets out the Board’s review of the Corporation’s governance practices relative to National Instrument 58-101—Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“NI 58-101”) and National Policy 58-201—Corporate Governance Guidelines.

Board of Directors

The Board, which is responsible for supervising the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, is, as of the date of this Circular, comprised of nine directors, four of which are independent as such term is defined in NI 58-101 and in National Instrument 52-110Audit Committees (“NI 52-110”). The independent directors are Brian McCormack, John R. Walter, Gerald F. Corcoran and Randy D. Podolsky. Charles Bachtell, Joe Caltabiano and Robert M. Sampson, the Chief Executive Officer, former President and former Chief Operating Officer, respectively, are not independent by virtue of them being members of the Corporation’s management within the past three years. Dominic Sergi may not be considered independent by virtue of his affiliation to Clear Height Properties, which completed two sale and leaseback transactions with the Corporation in 2019 and 2020. These transactions were not material to the Corporation individually or in aggregate, and they were completed on arm’s length terms and upon the advice of independent real property valuators. Of the two new proposed Cresco Nominees, Marc Lustig would not be considered independent by virtue of his role as executive officer of Cresco’s subsidiary Origin House, and Michele Roberts would be considered independent. Subsequent to the financial year ended December 31, 2019, Thomas J. Manning was elevated to Executive Chairman of the Corporation and as such, would no longer be considered independent.

The independent directors meet for in camera sessions without non-independent directors and members of management at the end of each regular Board meeting (unless such requirement is waived by the independent directors).

4.4

Associated Responsibilities

 

  (a)

monitor and periodically review Cresco’s Whistleblower Policy and associated procedures for:

4.6

Oversight Function

While the Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in this Charter, it is not the duty of the Committee to determine that Cresco’s financial statements are complete and accurate or are in accordance with IFRS and applicable rules and regulations. These are the responsibilities of the management of Cresco. The external auditors are responsible for planning and carrying out an audit of the annual consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards to provide reasonable assurance that such financial statements are in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards. The Committee, the Chair and any Members identified as having accounting or related financial expertise are directors of Cresco, appointed to the Committee to provide broad oversight of the financial, risk and control related activities of Cresco, and are specifically not accountable or responsible


for the day to day operation or performance of such activities. Although the designation of a Member as having accounting or related financial expertise for disclosure purposes is based on that individual’s education and experience, which that individual will bring to bear in carrying out his or her duties on the Committee, such designation does not impose on such person any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than the duties, obligations and liability imposed on such person as a member of the Committee and Board in the absence of such designation. Rather, the role of a Member who is identified as having accounting or related financial expertise, like the role of all Members, is to oversee the process, not to certify or guarantee the internal or external audit of Cresco’s financial information or public disclosure.

 

5.0

REPORTING

The Committee shall provide the Board with a summary of all actions taken at each Committee meeting or by written resolution. The Committee will annually review and approve the Committee’s report for inclusion in the management proxy circular. The Secretary will circulate the minutes of each meeting of the Committee and each written resolution passed by the Committee to the Board. The Committee shall produce and provide the Board with all reports or other information required to be prepared under Applicable Laws.

 

6.0

ACCESS TO INFORMATION AND AUTHORITY

The Committee will be granted unrestricted access to all information regarding Cresco and all directors, officers and employees will be directed to cooperate as requested by Members. The Committee has the authority to retain, at Cresco’s expense, outside legal, financial and other advisors, consultants and experts, to assist the Committee in fulfilling its duties and responsibilities. The Committee also has the authority to communicate directly with external and, if applicable, internal auditors of Cresco.

 

7.0

The Committee will annually review and assess the adequacy of this Charter and recommend any proposed changes to the Board for consideration.

SUBORDINATE VOTING SHARES

 

27.1

Special Rights and Restrictions

An unlimited number of Subordinate Voting Shares, without nominal or par value, having attached thereto the special rights and restrictions as set forth below:

  (1)

Voting Rights. Holders of Subordinate Voting Shares shall be entitled to notice of and to attend at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company, except a meeting of which only holders of another particular class or series of shares of the Company shall have the right to vote. At each such meeting holders of Subordinate Voting Shares shall be entitled to one vote in respect of each Subordinate Voting Share held.

 

  (2)

Alteration to Rights of Subordinate Voting Shares. As long as any Subordinate Voting Shares remain outstanding, the Company will not, without the consent of the holders of the Subordinate Voting Shares by separate special resolution, prejudice or interfere with any right or special right attached to the Subordinate Voting Shares.

 

  (3)

Dividends. Holders of Subordinate Voting Shares shall be entitled to receive as and when declared by the directors, dividends in cash or property of the Company.

 

  (4)

Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding-Up. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in the event of any other distribution of assets of the Company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares shall, subject to the prior rights of the holders of any shares of the Company ranking in priority to the Subordinate Voting Shares (including, without restriction, the Super Voting Shares) be entitled to participate rateably along with all other holders of Subordinate Voting Shares, Special Subordinate Voting Shares (on an as converted to Subordinate Voting Shares basis) and the Proportionate Voting Shares (on an as converted to Subordinate Voting Shares basis).

 

  (5)

Rights to Subscribe; Pre-Emptive Rights. The holders of Subordinate Voting Shares are not entitled to a right of first refusal to subscribe for, purchase or receive any part of any issue of Subordinate Voting Shares, or bonds, debentures or other securities of the Company now or in the future.

 

  (6)

Subdivision or Consolidation. No subdivision or consolidation of the Subordinate Voting Shares shall occur unless, simultaneously, the Subordinate Voting Shares, the Special Subordinate Voting Shares, the Proportionate Voting Shares and the Super Voting Shares are subdivided or consolidated in the same manner or such other adjustment is made so as to maintain and preserve the relative rights of the holders of the shares of each of the said classes.


  (7)

Conversion: In the event that an offer is made to purchase Proportionate Voting Shares and the offer is one which is required, pursuant to applicable securities legislation or the rules of a stock exchange on which the Proportionate Voting Shares are then listed, to be made to all or substantially all the holders of Proportionate Voting Shares in a given province or territory of Canada to which these requirements apply, each Subordinate Voting Share shall become convertible at the option of the holder into Proportionate Voting Shares at the inverse of the Conversion Ratio then in effect at any time while the offer is in effect until one day after the time prescribed by applicable securities legislation for the offeror to take up and pay for such shares as are to be acquired pursuant to the offer. The conversion right may only be exercised in respect of Subordinate Voting Shares for the purpose of depositing the resulting Proportionate Voting Shares pursuant to the offer, and for no other reason. In such event, the Company’s transfer agent shall deposit the resulting Proportionate Voting Shares on behalf of the holder. Should the Proportionate Voting Shares issued upon conversion and tendered in response to the offer be withdrawn by shareholders or not taken up by the offeror, or should the offer be abandoned or withdrawn, the Proportionate Voting Shares resulting from the conversion shall be automatically reconverted, without further intervention on the part of the Company or on the part of the holder, into Subordinate Voting Shares at the Conversion Ratio then in effect.

 

  (8)

Conversion of Subordinate Voting Shares Upon an Offer. In the event that an offer is made to purchase Proportionate Voting Shares, and the offer is one which is required, pursuant to applicable securities legislation or the rules of a stock exchange, if any, on which the Proportionate Voting Shares are then listed, to be made to all or substantially all the holders of Proportionate Voting Shares in a province or territory of Canada to which the requirement applies, each Subordinate Voting Share shall become convertible at the option of the holder into Proportionate Voting Shares at the inverse of the Conversion Ratio (as defined in Article 29) then in effect, at any time while the offer is in effect until one day after the time prescribed by applicable securities legislation for the offeror to take up and pay for such shares as are to be acquired pursuant to the offer. The conversion right may only be exercised in respect of Subordinate Voting Shares for the purpose of depositing the resulting Proportionate Voting Shares under the offer, and for no other reason. In such event, the transfer agent for the Subordinated Voting Shares shall deposit under the offer the resulting Proportionate Voting Shares, on behalf of the holder. To exercise such conversion right, the holder or his or its attorney duly authorized in writing shall

 

  (a)

give written notice to the transfer agent of the exercise of such right, and of the number of Subordinate Voting Shares in respect of which the right is being exercised;

 

  (b)

deliver to the transfer agent the share certificate or certificates representing the Subordinate Voting Shares in respect of which the right is being exercised, if applicable; and

 

  (c)

pay any applicable stamp tax or similar duty on or in respect of such conversion.

No share certificates representing the Proportionate Voting Shares, resulting from the conversion of the Subordinate Voting Shares will be delivered to the holders on whose behalf such deposit is being made. If Proportionate Voting Shares, resulting from the conversion and deposited pursuant to the offer, are withdrawn by the holder or are not taken up by the offeror, or the offer is abandoned, withdrawn or terminated by the offeror or the offer otherwise expires without such Proportionate Voting Shares being taken up and paid for, the Proportionate Voting Shares resulting from the conversion will be re-converted


into Subordinate Voting Shares at the then Conversion Ratio and a share certificate representing the Subordinate Voting Shares will be sent to the holder by the transfer agent. In the event that the offeror takes up and pays for the Proportionate Voting Shares resulting from conversion, the transfer agent shall deliver to the holders thereof the consideration paid for such shares by the offeror.

 

27.2

Take-Over Bid

In the event that a take-over bid is made for the Super Voting Shares, the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares will not be entitled to participate in such offer and may not tender their shares into any such offer, whether under the terms of the Subordinate Voting Shares or under any coattail trust or similar agreement. Notwithstanding this, any take-over bid for solely the Super Voting Shares is unlikely given that by the terms of the Investment Agreement (as defined in 28.1(9)), upon any sale of Super Voting Shares to an unrelated third party purchaser, such Super Voting Shares will be redeemed by the Corporation for their issue price.

 

28.

SUPER VOTING SHARES

 

28.1

Special Rights and Restrictions

An unlimited number of Super Voting Shares, without nominal or par value, having attached thereto the special rights and restrictions as set forth below:

 

  (1)

Voting Rights. Holders of Super Voting Shares shall be entitled to notice of and to attend at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company, except a meeting of which only holders of another particular class or series of shares of the Company shall have the right to vote. At each such meeting holders of Super Voting Shares shall be entitled to 2,000 votes in respect of each Super Voting Share held provided that if at any time the aggregate number of issued and outstanding (i) non-voting common shares (the “Cresco Corp. Redeemable Shares”) in the capital of Cresco U.S. Corp. (“Cresco Corp.”) and (ii) Common Units (the “Cresco Redeemable Units”) in the capital of Cresco Labs, LLC (“Cresco”) (or such securities of any successor to Cresco Corp. or Cresco as may exist from time to time) beneficially owned, directly or indirectly by a holder of the Super Voting Shares (the “Holder”) and the Holder’s predecessor or transferor, permitted transferees and permitted successors (in accordance with the Investment Agreement (as defined in 28.1(9)), and any prior tranferor’s transferor and any prior permitted transferee’s permitted transferee (the “Holder’s Group”), divided by the aggregate number of (i) Cresco Corp. Redeemable Shares and (ii) Cresco Redeemable Units beneficially owned, directly or indirectly by the Holders and the Holder’s Group as at the date of completion of the business combination transaction involving, among others, the Company, Cresco Corp. and Cresco be less than 50% (the “Triggering Event”), the Holder shall from that time forward be entitled to 50 votes in respect of each Super Voting Share held. The holders of Super Voting Shares shall, from time to time upon the request of the Company, provide to the Company evidence as to such holders’ direct and indirect beneficial ownership (and that of its permitted transferees and permitted successors) of Cresco Corp. Redeemable Shares and Cresco Redeemable Units to enable the Company to determine the voting entitlement of the Super Voting Shares. For the purposes of these calculations, a Holder shall be deemed to beneficially own Cresco Corp. Redeemable Shares held by an intermediate company or fund in proportion to their equity ownership of such company or fund.


  (2)

Alteration to Rights of Super Voting Shares. As long as any Super Voting Shares remain outstanding, the Company will not, without the consent of the holders of the Super Voting Shares by separate special resolution, prejudice or interfere with any right or special right attached to the Super Voting Shares. Consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Super Voting Shares shall be required for any action that authorizes or creates shares of any class having preferences superior to or on a parity with the Super Voting Shares. In connection with the exercise of the voting rights contained in this paragraph (b) each holder of Super Voting Shares will have one vote in respect of each Super Voting Share held.

 

  (3)

Dividends. The holder of Super Voting Shares shall not be entitled to receive dividends.

 

  (4)

Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding-Up. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in the event of any other distribution of assets of the Company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, the Company will distribute its assets firstly and in priority to the rights of holders of any other class of shares of the Company (including the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares, Special Subordinate Voting Shares and the Proportionate Voting Shares) to return the issue price of the Super Voting Shares to the holders thereof and if there are insufficient assets to fully return the issue price to the holders of the Super Voting Shares such holders will receive an amount equal to their pro rata share in proportion to the issue price of their Super Voting Shares along with all other holders of Super Voting Shares. The holders of Super Voting Shares shall not be entitled to receive directly or indirectly as holders of Super Voting Shares any other assets or property of the Company and their sole rights will be to the return of the issue price of such Super Voting Shares in accordance with this Article 28.1(4).

 

  (5)

Rights to Subscribe; Pre-Emptive Rights. The holders of Super Voting Shares are not entitled to a right of first refusal to subscribe for, purchase or receive any part of any issue of Subordinate Voting Shares, or bonds, debentures or other securities of the Company not convertible into Super Voting Shares, now or in the future.

 

  (6)

Subdivision or Consolidation. No subdivision or consolidation of the Super Voting Shares shall occur unless, simultaneously, the Super Voting Shares, Proportionate Voting Shares, the Special Subordinate Voting Shares and the Subordinate Voting Shares are subdivided or consolidated in the same manner, so as to maintain and preserve the relative rights of the holders of the shares of each of the said classes.

 

  (7)

Redemption Rights. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Company has the right to redeem all or some of the Super Voting Shares from the Holder and Holder’s Group who caused the Triggering Event to occur, by providing two days prior written notice to the Holder and Holder’s Group of such Super Voting Shares, for an amount equal to the issue price for each Super Voting Share, payable in cash to the holders of the Super Voting Shares so redeemed. The Company need not redeem Super Voting Shares on a pro-rata basis among the Holders or Holder’s Group. Holders of Super Voting Shares to be redeemed by the Company shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such Super Voting Shares to the Company at its records office duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Company (or accompanied by duly executed share transfers relating thereto). Each surrendered certificate shall be cancelled, and the Company shall thereafter make payment of the applicable redemption amount by certified cheque, bank draft or wire transfer to the registered holder of such certificate; provided that, if less than all the Super Voting Shares represented by a surrendered certificate are redeemed then a new share


  certificate representing the unredeemed balance of Super Voting Shares represented by such certificate shall be issued in the name of the applicable registered holder of the cancelled share certificate. If on the applicable redemption date the redemption price is paid (or tendered for payment) for any of the Super Voting Shares to be redeemed then on such date all rights of the holder in the Super Voting Shares so redeemed and paid or tendered shall cease and such redeemed Super Voting Shares shall no longer be deemed issued and outstanding, regardless of whether or not the holder of such Super Voting Shares has delivered the certificate(s) representing such securities to the Company, and from and after such date the certificate formerly representing the retracted Super Voting Shares shall evidence the only the right of the former holder of such Super Voting Shares to receive the redemption price to which such holder is entitled.

 

  (8)

Transfer Restrictions. No Super Voting Share may be transferred by the holder thereof unless such transfer is to an Immediate Family Member or a transfer for purposes of estate or tax planning to a company or person that is wholly beneficially owned by such holder or Immediate Family Members of such holder or which such holder or Immediate Family Members of such holder are the sole beneficiaries thereof (in each case, a “Permitted Transfer”). In order to be effective, any Permitted Transfer shall require the prior written consent of the Company.

For the purposes of this Article 28.1(8), “Immediate Family Member” means with respect to any individual, each parent (whether by birth or adoption), spouse (including if such person is legally married to such individual, lives in civil union with such individual or is a common law partner with such individual, as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada), as amended), child or other descendants (whether by birth or adoption) of such individual, each spouse of any of the aforementioned persons, each trust created solely for the benefit of such individual and/or one or more of the aforementioned persons. For greater certainty, a person who was a spouse of an individual within the meaning of this paragraph shall continue to be considered a spouse of such individual after the death of such individual.

 

  (9)

Investment Agreement. To supplement the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to the Super Voting Shares, the Company and Charlie Bachtell, Joe Caltabiano, Robert M. Sampson, Brian McCormack and Dominic Sergi being the initial holders of Super Voting Shares (the “Founders”), entered into an investment agreement, dated November 30, 2018 (the “Investment Agreement”) which, among other things, provides that (i) each Super Voting Share will be transferable only to the holder’s immediate family members or an affiliated entity or a transfer to the other Founder or an entity affiliated with the other Founder, and (ii) upon any sale of Super Voting Shares to a third party purchaser not listed in clause (i), such Super Voting Shares will immediately be redeemed by the Company for their issue price.


29.

PROPORTIONATE VOTING SHARES

 

29.1

Special Rights and Restrictions

An unlimited number of Proportionate Voting Shares, without nominal or par value, having attached thereto the special rights and restrictions as set forth below:

 

  (1)

Voting Rights. Holders of Proportionate Voting Shares shall be entitled to notice of and to attend at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company, except a meeting of which only holders of another particular class or series of shares of the Company shall have the right to vote. At each such meeting, holders of Proportionate Voting Shares will be entitled to one vote in respect of each Subordinate Voting Share into which such Proportionate Voting Share could ultimately then be converted, which for greater certainty, shall initially be equal to 200 votes per Proportionate Voting Share (subject to adjustment at the discretion of the Board, depending upon the ratios necessary to preserve foreign private issuer status in accordance with Article 29.1(6)(c)).

 

  (2)

Alteration to Rights of Proportionate Voting Shares. As long as any Proportionate Voting Shares remain outstanding, the Company will not, without the consent of the holders of the Proportionate Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares by separate special resolution, prejudice or interfere with any right or special right attached to the Proportionate Voting Shares. Consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Proportionate Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares shall be required for any action that authorizes or creates shares of any class having preferences superior to or on a parity with the Proportionate Voting Shares. In connection with the exercise of the voting rights contained in this Article 29.1(2) each holder of Proportionate Voting Shares will have one vote in respect of each Proportionate Voting Share held.

 

  (3)

Dividends. The holder of Proportionate Voting Shares shall have the right to receive dividends, out of any cash or other assets legally available therefor, pari passu (on an as converted basis, assuming conversion of all Proportionate Voting Shares into Subordinate Voting Shares at the Conversion Ratio) as to dividends and any declaration or payment of any dividend on the Subordinate Voting Shares. No dividend will be declared or paid on the Proportionate Voting Shares unless the Company simultaneously declares or pays, as applicable, equivalent dividends (on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Share basis) on the Subordinate Voting Shares and the Special Subordinate Voting Shares.

 

  (4)

Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding-Up. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in the event of any other distribution of assets of the Company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, the holders of Proportionate Voting Shares will, subject to the prior rights of the holders of any shares of the Company ranking in priority to the Proportionate Voting Shares (including, without restriction, the Super Voting Shares), be entitled to participate rateably along with all other holders of Proportionate Voting Shares (on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Share basis), the Special Subordinate Voting Shares (on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Share basis) and the Subordinate Voting Shares.

 

  (5)

Rights to Subscribe; Pre-Emptive Rights. The holders of Proportionate Voting Shares are not entitled to a right of first refusal to subscribe for, purchase or receive any part of any issue of Subordinate Voting Shares, or bonds, debentures or other securities of the Company now or in the future.

 

  (6)

Conversion. Subject to the Conversion Restrictions set forth in this Article 29.1(6), holders of Proportionate Voting Shares shall have conversion rights as follows:

 

  (a)

Right to Convert. Each Proportionate Voting Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for such shares, into fully paid and nonassessable Subordinate Voting Shares as is determined by multiplying the number of Proportionate Voting Shares by the Conversion Ratio applicable to such share, determined as hereafter provided, in effect on the date the Proportionate


  Voting Share is surrendered for conversion. The initial “Conversion Ratio” for shares of Proportionate Voting Shares shall be 200 Subordinate Voting Shares, subject to adjustment for each Proportionate Voting Share; provided, however, that the Conversion Ratio shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in Articles 29.1(6)(h) and (i).

 

  (b)

Conversion Limitations. Before any holder of Proportionate Voting Shares shall be entitled to convert the same into Subordinate Voting Shares, the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) shall designate an officer of the Company to determine if any Conversion Limitation set forth in Article 29.1(6)(d) shall apply to the conversion of Proportionate Voting Shares.

 

  (c)

Foreign Private Issuer Protection Limitation: The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain its status as a “foreign private issuer” (as determined in accordance with Rule 3b-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, the Company may, in its sole discretion, refuse to effect any conversion of Proportionate Voting Shares, and the holders of Proportionate Voting Shares shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Proportionate Voting Shares, pursuant to Article 29.1(6) or otherwise, without the consent of the Company, to the extent that after giving effect to all permitted issuances after such conversions of Proportionate Voting Shares, the aggregate number of Subordinate Voting Shares, Special Subordinate Voting Shares, Super Voting Shares and Proportionate Voting Shares held of record, directly or indirectly, by residents of the United States (as determined in accordance with Rules 3b-4 and 12g3-2(a) under the Exchange Act (“U.S. Residents”)) would exceed forty percent (40%) (the “40% Threshold”) of the aggregate number of Subordinate Voting Shares, Super Voting Shares, Special Subordinate Voting Shares and Proportionate Voting Shares issued and outstanding after giving effect to such conversions (the “FPI Protective Restriction”). The Board may by resolution increase the 40% Threshold to an amount not to exceed 50% and in the event of any such increase all references to the 40% Threshold herein, shall refer instead to the amended threshold set by such resolution.

 

  (d)

Conversion Limitations. In order to effect the FPI Protection Restriction, each holder of Proportionate Voting Shares will be subject to the 40% Threshold based on the number of Proportionate Voting Shares held by such holder as of the date of the initial issuance of the Proportionate Voting Shares and thereafter at the end of each of the Company’s subsequent fiscal quarters (each, a “Determination Date”), calculated as follows:

X = [(A x 0.4) -B] x (C/D)

Where on the Determination Date:

X = Maximum number of Subordinate Voting Shares available for issue upon conversion of Proportionate Voting Shares by a holder.

A = The number of Subordinate Voting Shares, Special Subordinate Voting Shares, Proportionate Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares issued and outstanding on the Determination Date.


B = The aggregate number of Subordinate Voting Shares, Special Subordinate Voting Shares, Proportionate Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares held of record, directly or indirectly, by U.S. Residents on the Determination Date.

C = The aggregate number of Proportionate Voting Shares held by holder on the Determination Date.

D = The aggregate number of all Proportionate Voting Shares on the Determination Date.

For purposes of this subsection (d), the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) shall designate an officer of the Company to determine as of each Determination Date: (A) the 40% Threshold and (B) the FPI Protective Restriction. Unless the Company determines otherwise in its sole discretion, to the extent that requests for conversion of Proportionate Voting Shares subject to the FPI Protection Restriction would result in the 40% Threshold being exceeded, the number of such Proportionate Voting Shares eligible for conversion held by a particular holder shall be prorated relative to the number of Proportionate Voting Shares submitted for conversion. To the extent that the FPI Protective Restriction contained in this Article 29.1(6)(d) applies, the determination of whether Proportionate Voting Shares are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Company.

 

  (e)

Mandatory Conversion. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company may require each holder of Proportionate Voting Shares to convert all, and not less than all, the Proportionate Voting Shares at the applicable Conversion Ratio (a “Mandatory Conversion”) if at any time all the following conditions are satisfied (or otherwise waived by special resolution of holders of Proportionate Voting Shares):

 

  (A)

the Subordinate Voting Shares issuable upon conversion of all the Proportionate Voting Shares are registered for resale and may be sold by the holders thereof pursuant to an effective registration statement and/or prospectus covering the Subordinate Voting Shares under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”);

 

  (B)

the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the U.S. Exchange Act; and

 

  (C)

the Subordinate Voting Shares are listed or quoted (and are not suspended from trading) on a recognized North American stock exchange or by way of reverse takeover transaction on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the TSX Venture Exchange, the Canadian Securities Exchange or Aequitas NEO Exchange (or any other stock exchange recognized as such by the Ontario Securities Commission).

The Company will issue or cause its transfer agent to issue each holder of Proportionate Voting Shares of record a Mandatory Conversion Notice at least 20 days prior to the record date of the Mandatory Conversion, which shall specify therein, (i) the number of Subordinate Voting Shares into which the Proportionate Voting Shares are convertible and (ii) the address of record for such holder. On the record date of a Mandatory Conversion, the Company will issue or cause its transfer agent to issue each holder of record on the Mandatory Conversion Date certificates representing the number of Subordinate Voting Shares into which the Proportionate Voting Shares are so converted and each certificate representing the Proportionate Voting Shares shall be null and void.


  (f)

Disputes. In the event of a dispute as to the number of Subordinate Voting Shares issuable to a Holder in connection with a conversion of Proportionate Voting Shares, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Subordinate Voting Shares not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Article 29.1(6)(m).

 

  (g)

Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Proportionate Voting Shares shall be entitled to convert Proportionate Voting Shares into Subordinate Voting Shares, the holder thereof shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or of any transfer agent for Subordinate Voting Shares, and shall give written notice to the Company at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for Subordinate Voting Shares are to be issued (each, a “Conversion Notice”). The Company shall (or shall cause its transfer agent to), as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of Subordinate Voting Shares to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the Proportionate Voting Shares to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the Subordinate Voting Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Subordinate Voting Shares as of such date.

 

  (h)

Adjustments for Distributions. In the event the Company shall declare a distribution to holders of Subordinate Voting Shares payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Company or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights not otherwise causing adjustment to the Conversion Ratio (a “Distribution”), then, in each such case for the purpose of this Article 29.1(6)(h), the holders of Proportionate Voting Shares shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such Distribution as though they were the holders of the number of Subordinate Voting Shares into which their Proportionate Voting Shares are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares entitled to receive such Distribution.

 

  (i)

Recapitalizations; Stock Splits. If at any time or from time-to-time, the Company shall (i) effect a recapitalization of the Subordinate Voting Shares; (ii) issue Subordinate Voting Shares as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares; (iii) subdivide the outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares into a greater number of Subordinate Voting Shares; (iv) consolidate the outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares into a smaller number of Subordinate Voting Shares; or (v) effect any similar transaction or action (each, a “Recapitalization”), provision shall be made so that the holders of Proportionate Voting Shares shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon conversion of Proportionate Voting Shares, the number of Subordinate Voting Shares or other


  securities or property of the Company or otherwise, to which a holder of Subordinate Voting Shares deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such Recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Article 29.1(6) with respect to the rights of the holders of Proportionate Voting Shares after the Recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Article 29.1(6) (including adjustment of the Conversion Ratio then in effect and the number of Proportionate Voting Shares issuable upon conversion of Proportionate Voting Shares) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

 

  (j)

No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments. No fractional Subordinate Voting Shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any Proportionate Voting Shares and the number of Subordinate Voting Shares to be issued shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole Subordinate Voting Share. Whether or not fractional Subordinate Voting Shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Proportionate Voting Shares the holder is at the time converting into Subordinate Voting Shares and the number of Subordinate Voting Shares issuable upon such aggregate conversion.

 

  (k)

Adjustment Notice. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Ratio pursuant to this Article 29.1(6), the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Proportionate Voting Shares a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Proportionate Voting Shares, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (A) such adjustment and readjustment, (B) the Conversion Ratio for Proportionate Voting Shares at the time in effect, and (C) the number of Subordinate Voting Shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of a Proportionate Voting Share.

 

  (l)

Effect of Conversion. All Proportionate Voting Shares which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the time of conversion (the “Conversion Time”), except only the right of the holders thereof to receive Subordinate Voting Shares in exchange therefor and to receive payment in lieu of any fraction of a share otherwise issuable upon such conversion.

 

  (m)

Disputes. Any holder of Proportionate Voting Shares that beneficially owns more than 5% of the issued and outstanding Proportionate Voting Shares may submit a written dispute as to the determination of the conversion ratio or the arithmetic calculation of the conversion ratio of Proportionate Voting Shares to Subordinate Voting Shares, the Conversion Ratio, 40% Threshold, FPI Protective Restriction or the Beneficial Ownership Limitation by the Company to the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) with the basis for the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations. The Company shall respond to the holder within five (5) Business Days of receipt, or deemed receipt, of the dispute notice with a written calculation of the Conversion Ratio, 40% Threshold, FPI Protective Restriction or


  the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, as applicable. If the holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation of the Conversion Ratio, 40% Threshold, FPI Protective Restriction or the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, as applicable, within five (5) Business Days of such response, then the Company and the holder shall, within one (1) Business Day thereafter submit the disputed arithmetic calculation of the conversion ratio, Conversion Ratio, FPI Protective Restriction or the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to the Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company, at the Company’s expense, shall cause the accountant to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the holder of the results no later than five (5) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.

 

  (7)

Subdivision or Consolidation. No subdivision or consolidation of the Proportionate Voting Shares shall occur unless, simultaneously, the Subordinate Voting Shares, the Special Subordinate Voting Shares, the Proportionate Voting Shares and the Super Voting Shares are subdivided or consolidated in the same manner or such other adjustment is made so as to maintain and preserve the relative rights of the holders of the shares of each of the said classes.

 

  (8)

Notices of Record Date. Except as otherwise provided under applicable law, in the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, the Company shall mail to each holder of Proportionate Voting Shares, at least 20 days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.

  (1)

Voting Rights. Holders of Special Subordinate Voting Shares shall be entitled to notice of and to attend at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company, except a meeting of which only holders of another particular class or series of shares of the Company shall have the right to vote. At each such meeting, holders of Special Subordinate Voting Shares will be entitled to one vote in respect of each Subordinate Voting Share into which such Special Subordinate Voting Shares could ultimately then be converted, which for greater certainty, shall initially be equal to 0.00001 of a vote per Special Subordinate Voting Share.

 

  (2)

Alteration to Rights of Special Subordinate Voting Shares. As long as any Special Subordinate Voting Shares remain outstanding, the Company will not, without the consent of the holders of the Special Subordinate Voting Shares by separate special resolution, prejudice or interfere with any right or special right attached to the Special Subordinate Voting Shares. In connection with the exercise of the voting rights contained in this Article 30.1(1) each holder of Special Subordinate Voting Shares will have one vote in respect of each Special Subordinate Voting Share held.


  (3)

Dividends. The holders of Special Subordinate Voting Shares shall have the right to receive dividends, out of any cash or other assets legally available therefor, pari passu (on an as converted basis, assuming conversion of all Special Subordinate Voting Shares into Subordinate Voting Shares at the Special Conversion Ratio, as defined in 30.1(8)(a)) as to dividends and any declaration or payment of any dividend on the Subordinate Voting Shares. No dividend will be declared or paid on the Special Subordinate Voting Shares unless the Company simultaneously declares or pays, as applicable, equivalent dividends (on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Share basis) on the Subordinate Voting Shares and the Proportionate Voting Shares.

 

  (4)

Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding-Up. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in the event of any other distribution of assets of the Company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, the holders of Special Subordinate Voting Shares will, subject to the prior rights of the holders of any shares of the Company ranking in priority to the Special Subordinate Voting Shares (including, without restriction, the Super Voting Shares), be entitled to participate rateably along with all other holders of Special Subordinate Voting Shares (on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Share basis), the Proportionate Voting Shares (on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Share basis) and the Subordinate Voting Shares.

 

  (5)

Right to Subscribe; Pre-Emptive Rights. The holders of Special Subordinate Voting Shares are not entitled to a right of first refusal to subscribe for, purchase or receive any part of any issue of Subordinate Voting Shares, or bonds, debentures or other securities of the Company now or in the future.

 

  (6)

Ownership Restrictions. The Special Subordinate Voting Shares may only be beneficially owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by a person or persons who are not a U.S. Person.

A “U.S. Person” shall mean an individual resident in the United States, an estate or trust of which any executor or administrator or trustee, respectively, is a U.S. Person and any partnership or corporation organized or incorporated under the laws of the United States (as defined in Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”)).

 

  (7)

Transfer Restrictions. No Special Subordinate Voting Share or any rights or interests therein may be transferred legally, beneficially or in any other manner by the holder thereof without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof), which may be withheld in its sole discretion.

 

  (8)

Conversion. Subject to the conversion restrictions set forth in this Article 30.1(8), holders of Special Subordinate Voting Shares shall have conversion rights as follows:

 

  (a)

Right to Convert. Each Special Subordinate Voting Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder provided that such holder has received the prior written consent of the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof), which may be withheld in its sole discretion, at any time after the date of issuance of such share at the


  office of the Company or any transfer agent for such shares, into fully paid and nonassessable Subordinate Voting Shares as is determined by multiplying the number of Special Subordinate Voting Share by the Special Conversion Ratio applicable to such share, determined as hereafter provided, in effect on the date the Special Subordinate Voting Share is surrendered for conversion. The initial “Special Conversion Ratio” for shares of Special Subordinate Voting Shares shall be 0.00001 Subordinate Voting Shares, subject to adjustment for each Special Subordinate Voting Share; provided, however, that the Special Conversion Ratio shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in Articles 30.1(10) and 30.1(11).

 

  (b)

Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Special Subordinate Voting Shares shall be entitled to convert Special Subordinate Voting Shares into Subordinate Voting Shares, the holder thereof shall: (i) have received the prior written consent of the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) as provided in Article 30.1(8)(a); and (ii) have surrendered the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or of any transfer agent for Subordinate Voting Shares, and shall give written notice to the Company at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for Subordinate Voting Shares are to be issued (each, a “Special Conversion Notice”). The Company shall (or shall cause its transfer agent to), as soon as practicable thereafter:

 

  (A)

issue and deliver at such office to such holder, or, subject to payment by the registered holder of any stock transfer or other applicable taxes and compliance with any other reasonable requirements of the Company in respect of such transfer, in such name or names as such registered holder may direct in writing, a certificate or certificates for the number of Subordinate Voting Shares to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the Special Subordinate Voting Shares to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the Subordinate Voting Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Subordinate Voting Shares as of such date;

 

  (B)

remove or cause the removal of such holder from the register of holders in respect of the Special Subordinate Voting Shares for which the conversion privilege is being exercised, add the holder (or any person or persons in whose name or names such converting holder shall have directed the resulting Subordinate Voting Shares to be registered) to the register of holders in respect of the resulting Subordinate Voting Shares, cancel or cause the cancellation of the certificate or certificates representing such Special Subordinate Voting Shares; and

 

  (C)

if less than all of the Special Subordinate Voting Shares represented by any certificate are to be converted, the holder shall be entitled to receive a new certificate representing the Special Subordinate Voting Shares represented by the original certificate which are not converted.


  (c)

Mandatory Conversion. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company may require each holder of Special Subordinate Voting Shares to convert all, and not less than all, of the Special Subordinate Voting Shares at the applicable Special Conversion Ratio (a “Special Mandatory Conversion”) if at any time all the following conditions are satisfied (or otherwise waived by special resolution of holders of Special Subordinate Voting Shares):

 

  (A)

the Company is no longer a “foreign private issuer” (as determined in accordance with Rule 3b-4 of the Exchange Act); or

 

  (B)

the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) determine that the Special Subordinate Voting Shares are no longer necessary or required.

 

  (d)

Mechanics of Mandatory Conversion. Upon a Special Mandatory Conversion, the Company shall at its expense:

 

  (A)

issue (or cause its transfer agent to issue) to each holder of Special Subordinate Voting Shares of record a Mandatory Conversion notice at least 20 days prior to the record date of the Mandatory Conversion, which shall specify therein, (i) the number of Subordinate Voting Shares into which the Special Subordinate Voting Shares are convertible; and (ii) the address of record for such holder;

 

  (B)

on the record date of a Special Mandatory Conversion, issue (or cause its transfer agent to issue) each holder of record on the date of the Mandatory Conversion certificates representing the number of Subordinate Voting Shares into which the Special Subordinate Voting Shares are so converted and each certificate representing the Special Subordinate Voting Shares shall be null and void; and

 

  (C)

remove or cause the removal of such holder from the register of holders in respect of the Special Subordinate Voting Shares, add such holder to the register of holders in respect of the resulting Subordinate Voting Shares.

 

  (e)

Effect of Conversion. All Special Subordinate Voting Shares which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the time of conversion except only the right of the holders thereof to receive Subordinate Voting Shares.

 

  (9)

Redemption Rights. The Company has the right to redeem all or some of the Special Subordinate Voting Shares from any holder thereof at any time by providing two (2) days prior written notice (the “Redemption Notice”) to such holder for either: (i) cash, at a price per Special Subordinate Voting Share equal to the Special Conversion Ratio (as may be adjusted in accordance with this Article 30) multiplied by the average volume weighted average trading price of the Subordinate Voting Shares on the CSE (or such other stock exchange or quotation system the Subordinate Voting Shares are then principally listed or quoted) for the ten (10) trading days immediately prior to the date of the Redemption Notice (a “Cash Redemption”); or (ii) Subordinate Voting Shares at the Special Conversion Ratio, as may be adjusted in accordance with this Article 30 (a “Share Redemption”). The Company need not redeem Special Subordinate Voting Shares on a pro-rata basis among the holders of Special Subordinate Voting Shares. Holders of Special Subordinate Voting Shares to be redeemed by the Company shall surrender the


  certificate(s) representing such Special Subordinate Voting Shares to the Company at its records office duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Company (or accompanied by duly executed share transfers relating thereto). Each surrendered certificate shall be cancelled, and the Company shall: (i) in the event of a Cash Redemption, make payment of the applicable redemption amount by certified cheque, bank draft or wire transfer to the registered holder of such certificate; or (ii) in the event of a Share Redemption issue and deliver to the registered holder, or, subject to payment by the registered holder of any stock transfer or other applicable taxes and compliance with any other reasonable requirements of the Company in respect of such transfer, in such name or names as such registered holder may direct in writing, a certificate or certificates for the number of Subordinate Voting Shares at the Special Conversion Ratio, as may be adjusted in accordance with this Article 30. In the event that less than all the Special Subordinate Voting Shares represented by a surrendered certificate are redeemed by the Company then a new certificate representing the unredeemed balance of Special Subordinate Voting Shares represented by such certificate shall be issued in the name of the applicable registered holder of the cancelled certificate. If on the applicable redemption date the redemption price is paid (or tendered for payment) in the case of a Cash Redemption or the Company issues (or cause its transfer agent to issue) Subordinate Voting Shares in the case of a Share Redemption, for any of the Special Subordinate Voting Shares to be redeemed then on such date all rights of the holder in the Special Subordinate Voting Shares so redeemed shall cease and such redeemed Special Subordinate Voting Shares shall no longer be deemed issued and outstanding, regardless of whether or not the holder of such Special Subordinate Voting Shares has delivered the certificate(s) representing such securities to the Company, and from and after such date the certificate(s) formerly representing the redeemed Special Subordinate Voting Shares shall evidence the only the right of the former holder of such Special Subordinate Voting Shares to receive the applicable redemption price to which such holder is entitled.

 

  (10)

Adjustments for Distributions. In the event the Company shall declare a distribution to holders of Subordinate Voting Shares payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Company or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights not otherwise causing adjustment to the Special Conversion Ratio (a “Special Distribution”), then, in each such case for the purpose of this Article 30.1(10), the holders of Special Subordinate Voting Shares shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such Special Distribution as though they were the holders of the number of Subordinate Voting Shares into which their Special Subordinate Voting Shares are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares entitled to receive such Special Distribution.

 

  (11)

Recapitalizations; Stock Splits. If at any time or from time-to-time, the Company effects a Recapitalization, provisions shall be made so that the holders of Special Subordinate Voting Shares shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon conversion or redemption of Special Subordinate Voting Shares, the number of Subordinate Voting Shares or other securities or property of the Company or otherwise, to which a holder of Subordinate Voting Shares deliverable upon conversion or redemption would have been entitled on such Recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Articles 30.1(8) and 30.1(8)(e) with respect to the rights of the holders of Special Subordinate Voting Shares after the Recapitalization to the end that the provisions of Articles 30.1(8) and 30.1(8)(e) (including adjustment of the Special Conversion Ratio then in effect and the number of Subordinate Voting Shares issuable upon conversion of Special Subordinate Voting Shares) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.


  (12)

No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments. No fractional Subordinate Voting Shares shall be issued upon the conversion or redemption (in the case of a Share Redemption) of any Special Subordinate Voting Shares and the number of Subordinate Voting Shares to be issued shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole Subordinate Voting Share. Whether or not fractional Subordinate Voting Shares are issuable upon such conversion or redemption (in the case of a Share Redemption) shall be determined on the basis of the total number of Special Voting Shares of the holder being redeemed or converted into Subordinate Voting Shares and the number of Subordinate Voting Shares issuable upon such aggregate conversion or redemption (in the case of a Share Redemption).

 

  (13)

Adjustment Notice. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Special Conversion Ratio pursuant to this Article 30, the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Special Subordinate Voting Shares a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Special Subordinate Voting Shares, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (A) such adjustment and readjustment, (B) the Special Conversion Ratio for the Special Subordinate Voting Shares at the time in effect, and (C) the number of Subordinate Voting Shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion or redemption of a Special Subordinate Voting Share.

 

  (14)

Subdivision or Consolidation. The Special Subordinate Voting Shares may be subdivided or consolidated by resolution of the directors (or a committee thereof) without the simultaneous subdivision or consolidation of the Subordinate Voting Shares, the Proportionate Voting Shares and the Super Voting Shares in the same manner, provided that the Special Conversion Ratio is correspondingly adjusted and the Voting Rights of the Special Subordinate Voting Shares is correspondingly adjusted such that the aggregate number of votes held by all holders of Special Subordinate Voting Shares prior to subdivision or consolidation is equal to the aggregate number of votes held by all holders of Special Subordinate Voting Shares following the subdivision or consolidation.

 

  (15)

Notices of Record Date. Except as otherwise provided under applicable law, in the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, the Company shall mail to each holder of Special Subordinate Voting Shares, at least 20 days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.

 

  (16)

Disputes. Any holder of Special Subordinate Voting Shares that beneficially owns more than 5% of the issued and outstanding Special Subordinate Voting Shares may submit a written dispute as to the determination of or the arithmetic calculation of the Special Conversion Ratio by the Company to the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) with


  the basis for the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations. The Company shall respond to the holder within five (5) Business Days of receipt, or deemed receipt, of the dispute notice with a written calculation of then the applicable Special Conversion Ratio. If the holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation of the Special Conversion Ratio, within five (5) Business Days of such response, then the Company and the holder shall, within one (1) Business Day thereafter submit the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Special Conversion Ratio to the Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company, at the Company’s expense, shall cause the accountant to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the holder of the results no later than five (5) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.

 

30.2

Take-Over Bid.

In the event that a take-over bid is made for the Super Voting Shares or the Subordinate Voting Shares, the holders of Special Subordinate Voting Shares will not be entitled to participate in such offer and may not tender their shares into any such offer, whether under the terms of the Special Subordinate Voting Shares or under any coattail trust or similar agreement, absent being permitted to convert such shares into Subordinate Voting Shares. Notwithstanding this, any take-over bid for solely the Super Voting Shares is unlikely given that by the terms of the Investment Agreement (as defined in 28.1(9)), upon any sale of Super Voting Shares to an unrelated third party purchaser, such Super Voting Shares will be redeemed by the Company for their issue price.

Michele Roberts, National Basketball Players Association executive director and esteemed trial lawyer, joins Cresco Labs’ board.

CHICAGO—(June 10, 2020)—Cresco Labs (CSE:CL)(OTCQX:CRLBF) (“Cresco” or “the Company”), one of the largest vertically integrated multistate cannabis operators in the United States, announced that it has welcomed current Executive Director of the National Basketball Players Association (“NBPA”), Michele Roberts, to its board of directors, effective immediately. A distinguished trial lawyer, celebrated business leader and former member of the adjunct faculty at Harvard Law School, Ms. Roberts becomes the 10th director on Cresco’s board and its first female director.

“Ms. Roberts is an outstanding addition to our board,” said Tom Manning, Cresco Labs’ Executive Chairman and former Chairman and CEO of Dun & Bradstreet. “Drawing on her experience in leading one of the most important player organizations in the sports world and her expertise in law and litigation as a highly-accomplished trial attorney and educator, Michele will provide a unique perspective at a critical time of continued growth and expansion in the industry.”

Charlie Bachtell, Cresco Labs’ CEO and co-founder adds, “We are advocates of a more diverse and inclusive cannabis industry, and we are thrilled to have Michele’s counsel, experience and leadership to help influence the development of both our Company and this industry. We believe her contributions will be invaluable to Cresco.”

Since 2014, Ms. Roberts has served as the Executive Director of the NBPA, working on behalf of NBA players to ensure their rights are protected and are fairly compensated for the value they bring to the sport and their impact on society. Prior to joining the NBPA, she was an esteemed trial lawyer with Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom. Her practice focused on complex civil and white-collar criminal litigation before state and federal courts and in administrative proceedings. Ms. Roberts has tried more than 100 cases to jury verdicts, representing clients in a wide variety of areas, including products liability, white collar, racketeering, securities regulation violations, Title VII issues and premises liability. She is a top-ranked attorney who has received numerous accolades from Chambers Global, Chambers USA and Benchmark Litigation, among other notable publications.

Ms. Roberts is a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers.

Ms. Roberts is a frequent lecturer and presenter to both the bench and bar on a variety of topics related to litigation and trial practice. She taught trial advocacy as an adjunct member of the faculty at Harvard Law School and was an instructor with the National Institute of Trial Advocacy.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to serve on Cresco Labs’ Board and work alongside the senior leadership and management teams in their efforts to elevate the company to the next level of excellence,” said Ms. Roberts. “I look forward to advancing Cresco Labs’ distinctive brands of high quality products and services, particularly those focused on the promise held by medicinal cannabis to treat conditions and illnesses where more traditional protocols have not met the patients’ needs, and I am also committed to supporting Cresco’s Labs’ social responsibility efforts which are focused on the industry’s first national Social Equity and Education Development initiative to better both individual lives and underrepresented communities.”

Dennis Olis has been named Chief Financial Officer of Cresco Labs

CHICAGO - June [16], 2020 — Cresco Labs (CSE:CL) (OTCQX:CRLBF) (“Cresco” or “the Company”), one of the largest vertically integrated multistate cannabis operators in the United States, today announced that Ken Amann, who has been the Company’s Chief Financial Officer since 2015, is retiring effective December 31, 2020. As part of a planned transition, the Company also appointed Dennis Olis to replace Mr. Amann as Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), effective July 1, 2020. Mr. Olis joins Cresco Labs after previously serving as CFO for Allscripts Healthcare Solutions (NASDAQ: MDRX). Mr. Olis brings an extensive background in operations, financial planning and analysis, accounting, financial reporting, tax, internal audit, treasury and mergers and acquisitions at Allscripts and previously at Motorola. Mr. Amann will remain in an advisory role through the remainder of 2020 to ensure a smooth transition of responsibilities.

Charlie Bachtell said, “Ken was an early investor in Cresco, and one of the first employees, joining as CFO shortly after Cresco won the initial licenses in Illinois. I know I speak for the entire management team and board of directors when I thank Ken for his significant contribution in growing Cresco to this point. This is bittersweet for me and the Cresco family – it is sad to see Ken go but we wish Ken and his wife, Lisa, nothing but the best in this new phase of their lives. They will always be a part of this Cresco family.”

Mr. Bachtell added, “After a thorough search, I’m thrilled to welcome Dennis Olis as our new CFO. Dennis has an impeccable reputation and brings extensive financial, operational, and strategic management experience. His track record of superior capital allocation and experience managing billions of dollars in annual sales as the SVP of Operations and Strategic Initiatives and as CFO makes him the perfect fit as Cresco enters the next phase of growth.”

Ken Amann said, “This experience at Cresco has been an amazing journey and certainly the highlight of my professional career. I would like to thank the board and management team as well as all of our loyal, long-term shareholders for their support over the past several years. I am confident the team will continue to build upon our leadership position in the U.S. cannabis space. I also know the Company is in great hands, Dennis is a proven, results-oriented CFO with experience in a variety of finance and operations roles at both Allscripts and Motorola.”

Mr. Olis has more than 20 years of financial and operational management experience. At Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Olis was responsible for the company’s overall financial strategy, including cost management, capital allocation and balance sheet optimization. As CFO he led the $185 million acquisition of McKesson’s healthcare business, increasing revenue by $400 million and the integration effort leading to EBITDA improvement of $100 million within 15 months of the acquisition. Previously, Olis held a variety of senior finance and operations positions at Motorola Inc.

Appointment of Carol Vallone

Cresco has appointed Carol Vallone to its board of directors, effective immediately. Ms. Vallone is a well-known business leader, former CEO, and corporate board director, with a strong track record in launching, scaling, and managing global companies.

In joining the Cresco Labs board of directors, Ms. Vallone will become the second female member of the board and will serve alongside Michele Roberts, the Executive Director of the NBA Players Association, who was elected in April.

Retirement of Brian McCormack

The Company today announced that Brian McCormack, Vice Chairman of the board, has retired from the Company’s board of directors as part of the planned board refreshment process. A serial entrepreneur, Mr. McCormack was a founder and one of the early investors in the company and led the initial development of the board. He was instrumental in helping create the business and in recruiting initial shareholders to the Company.

“Cresco Labs was the crowning achievement of my entrepreneurial endeavors,” said Brian McCormick. “I feel very fortunate to have met my founding partners and to have built the foundation for a company that has created a cultural shift in the way our country now views cannabis. As the Company prepares for the future, I am excited to see Michele Roberts and Carol Vallone join the board in order to help guide our executive team and propel Cresco to the next level.”

“Brian has served on the Cresco board since the Company was founded and has played an integral role in the Company’s early development,” said Charles Bachtell, CEO and Co-Founder of Cresco Labs. “I would like to thank him for his foresight in recommending that we implement a board refreshment plan to ensure we have a diverse set of experiences, skills, and ideas to help guide Cresco into the future.”

Tom Manning, Cresco Labs’ Executive Chairman, added, “I also want to recognize Brian for his early contributions and his vision. While we will miss him, I’m thrilled to welcome a powerful new voice, Carol Vallone, to the board. Carol has proven her ability to launch and scale global companies both as an executive and a board member, and her experience and passion for corporate governance are a tremendous fit for Cresco in its next phase of growth.”

Cresco Labs Announces Accelerating Revenue and Increasing Operating

Leverage in Record Second Quarter 2020 Results

 

   

Record revenue of $94.3 million, 42% growth QoQ

 

   

30+% sequential revenue growth in all of the Company’s U.S. markets except Massachusetts

 

   

Record adjusted EBITDA1 of $16.5 million, 419% growth QoQ

 

   

Reduced SG&A by $1.5 million QoQ

 

   

Wholesale revenue growth of 44% QoQ to $55 million and retail revenue growth of 39% QoQ to $39 million

CHICAGO—(BUSINESS WIRE)—August 20, 2020—Cresco Labs Inc. (CSE: CL) (OTCQX: CRLBF) (FSE: 6CQ) (“Cresco Labs” or the “Company”), one of the largest vertically integrated multi-state cannabis operators in the United States, today released its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020. All financial information presented in this release is in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted.

Management Commentary

“While Q2 continued to be about building, scaling and refining our operations in the largest and most important cannabis markets in the U.S., we are also beginning to see the fruits of our labor come to bear,” said Charles Bachtell, Co-founder and CEO of Cresco Labs. “We grew revenue in every single one of our U.S. markets sequentially by more than 30%, with the exception of Massachusetts, where adult use was halted for part of the quarter. Cresco Labs is the largest wholesaler of branded cannabis products with nearly $55 million in revenue and our Sunnyside* retail strategy is outperforming with $39 million generated from our 17 locations. We are accelerating growth and beginning to generate substantial leverage as we scale our operations and benefit from the investments we’ve made over the past 12 months.”

Second Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights

Operating Results

 

   

Revenue for the second quarter of 2020 was $94.3 million, an absolute increase of nearly $28 million or a 42% increase over Q1’20 revenue. Revenue increased sequentially by more than 30% in every U.S. market, with the exception of Massachusetts. Wholesale growth was driven by product popularity in California and first harvests from expanded capacity in Illinois and Pennsylvania. Retail growth was driven by strong sequential same-store growth of 31% and two new store openings in Illinois.

 

   

Operational Gross Profit1 as a Percentage of Revenue was 47% in the quarter as compared to 48% in the prior quarter. Operating costs associated with the expansion of the Company’s cultivation centers in PA and IL in Q4’19 and Q1’20 were associated with Q2 products sales, impacting the Company’s cost of products sold for the quarter.

 

   

SG&A was $45.2 million, a reduction of $1.5 million from Q1. SG&A included $5.2 million in non-core costs associated with the integration of Origin House and the termination of the Tryke transaction, $0.8 million in COVID-19 related expenses, and $6.7 million in share-based compensation. Excluding these non-core and non-cash items, SG&A would have been $32.5 million or 35% of revenue.


   

Adjusted EBITDA1 was $16.5 million, an increase of 419% sequentially. This was achieved while integrating Origin House during the quarter, and was driven primarily from higher revenues and increased operational gross profit in Illinois and Pennsylvania.

 

   

Net Loss2 was $4.7 million, which includes unrealized gains and losses on mark-to-market instruments that fluctuate until obligations are settled, changes in fair value of biological assets, interest expense and tax expense.

 

   

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities was $9.9 million, compared to $40.1 million used in Q1. The improvement in cash used in operating activities was driven by increased operating leverage across the business as the Company scales.

Shares Outstanding

Total shares on a fully converted basis were 377,691,701 as of June 30, 2020.

Conference Call and Webcast

The Company will host a conference call and webcast to discuss its financial results and provide investors with key business highlights on Thursday, August 20, 2020, at 5pm Eastern Time (4pm Central Time). The conference call may be accessed via webcast or by dialing 866-688-4235 (409-216-0711 for international callers) and providing conference ID 2957578.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Cresco Labs Inc. (“Cresco” or the “Company”), formerly known as Randsburg International Gold Corp. was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia under the Company Act (British Columbia) on July 6, 1990. On December 30, 1997, the Company changed its name from Randsburg Gold Corporation to Randsburg International Gold Corp. (“Randsburg”) and consolidated its common shares on a five old for one new basis.

On November 30, 2018, in connection with the reverse takeover (the “Transaction”), the Company (i) consolidated its outstanding Randsburg Common Shares on an 812.63 old for one (1) new basis, and (ii) filed an alteration to its Notice of Articles with the British Columbia Registrar of Companies to change its name from Randsburg to Cresco Labs Inc. and to amend the rights and restrictions of its existing classes of common shares, redesignate such classes as the class of Subordinate Voting Shares (“SVS”) and create the classes of Proportionate Voting Shares (“PVS”), and Super Voting Shares (“MVS”).

Pursuant to the Transaction, among the Company (then Randsburg) and Cresco Labs, LLC (“Cresco Labs”), a series of transactions was completed on November 30, 2018 resulting in a reorganization of Cresco Labs and Randsburg and pursuant to which Randsburg became the indirect parent and sole voting unitholder of Cresco. The transaction constituted a reverse takeover of Randsburg by Cresco Labs under applicable securities laws. Cresco Labs was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of Illinois on October 8, 2013 and is governed by the Pre-Combination LLC Agreement. The Pre-Combination LLC Agreement was further amended and restated in connection with the completion of the Transaction.

On December 3, 2018, the Company began trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the ticker symbol “CL.” On March 6, 2019, Cresco shares were approved to be quoted on the Over-the-Counter Market (“OTC”) and is traded under the ticker symbol “CRLBF.” On August 13, 2019, the Company began trading its Euro-dominated shares on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (“FSE”) and is trading under the symbol “6CQ.”

The Company is licensed to cultivate, manufacture and sell retail and medical cannabis as well as retail and medical cannabis products in certain U.S. states. The Company also operates a retail, wholesale and online nicotine vape business in Canada. The Company operates in and/or has ownership interests in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, California, Maryland, Nevada, Arizona, New York, Massachusetts, Michigan and Canada, pursuant to the Illinois Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act and the Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act, the Pennsylvania Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Act, the Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program, the California Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act, the Maryland Medical Marijuana Act, the Nevada Revised Statutes section 453A, the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act, the New York Compassionate Care Act, the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission, the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act and the Canada Tobacco and Vaping Products Act, respectively.

The Company’s head office is located at Suite 110, 400 W Erie St, Chicago, IL 60654 and the registered office is located at Suite 2200, 1055 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 2E9.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 

  (a)

Basis of Preparation

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting, which was adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

Cresco Labs Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

(Unaudited)

 

 

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with consistently applied accounting policies, critical estimates, and methods described in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all information and disclosures required in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on August 20, 2020.

 

  (b)

Basis of Measurement

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, except for biological assets which are measured at fair value less cost to sell; certain investments in associates, which are accounted for under the equity method; loans receivable measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”); and certain investments, derivative instruments, and contingent consideration, which are recorded at fair value. Historical cost is generally based upon the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets and the contractual obligation for liabilities.

Management has applied judgement in concluding that there remain no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast doubt upon the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, which includes judgment of the effects of subsequent events, if applicable (see Note 25); and the Company’s ability to realize its assets and settle its obligations in the normal course of operations for at least twelve months from the date of the financial statements.

 

  (c)

Functional and Presentation Currency

The Company’s functional currency and that of the majority of its subsidiaries, as determined by management, is the United States (“U.S.”) dollar. The Company’s presentation currency is the U.S. dollar. As such, the accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. All references to “C$” refer to Canadian dollars. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are re-measured into the functional currency using period-end exchange rates. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in Other (expense) income, net in the unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Assets and liabilities of foreign operations having a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date; revenues and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions during the period. Gains or losses on translation of foreign subsidiaries and net investments in foreign operations are included in other comprehensive loss.

 

  (d)

Basis of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries with intercompany balances and transactions eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are those entities over which the Company has the power over the investee, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. The following are Cresco’s wholly owned or effectively controlled subsidiaries and entities over which the Company has control as of June 30, 2020:

  (e)

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are recorded at cost, less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date or date of consolidation/control. Amortization of definite-lived intangible assets is recorded on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which do not exceed the contractual period, if any, over the following terms:

 

Market Related Intangibles

     12 –18 months  

Customer Relationships

     7 – 19 years  

Non-Compete Agreements

     4 – 5 years  

Trade Names

     10 years  

Permit Application Fees

     1 – 2 years  

The estimated useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each year end, and any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively. Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization. The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of licenses, which, for valuation purposes, represent the future benefits associated with the Company’s cultivation, processing, and dispensary licenses. Absent such license intangibles, the Company cannot continue as a going concern and as such, there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which these assets are expected to generate future cash inflows to the Company.

 

  (f)

Significant Accounting Judgements, Estimates, and Assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements under IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates, and assumptions about the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities. Estimates and related assumptions are based on historical experience and other relevant factors. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis for reasonableness and relevancy. Where revisions are required, they are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised for the current as well as future periods that are affected.

Significant judgements, estimates, and assumptions within these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, unless stated herein, are consistently applied to the annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

BIOLOGICAL ASSETS

 

The Company’s biological assets consist of cannabis plants. The changes in the carrying value of biological assets to June 30, 2020 from December 31, 2019, consisted of the following:

 

($ in thousands)       

Biological assets at January 1, 2020

   $ 31,791  

Biological assets acquired (Note 13)

     2,002

Changes in fair value of biological assets

     116,366  
  

 

 

 

Biological assets at June 30, 2020

   $ 56,683  
  

 

 

 

Biological assets are measured at fair value less costs to sell until harvest. All production costs related to biological assets are expensed as incurred. The fair value measurements for biological assets have been categorized as Level 3 fair values based on the inputs to the valuation technique used. The fair value was determined using an expected cash flow model which assumes the biological assets at the balance sheet date will grow to maturity, be harvested and converted into finished goods inventory and sold in the retail and medical cannabis market.

This model utilizes the following significant assumptions:

 

Inputs and assumptions

  

Calculation method

  

Effect changes of unobservable inputs has on fair
value

Selling price per gram, less cost to sell    Based on observable market data or calculated wholesale prices with reasonable margins.    An increase in selling price per gram would increase the fair value of biological assets.
Attrition rate    Based on weighted average number of plants lost during each stage of production.    An increase in attrition rate would result in a decrease to the fair value of biological assets.
Average yield per plant    Based on the average number of grams of dried cannabis inventory expected to be harvested from each cannabis plant.    An increase to the average yield per plant would result in an increase to the fair value of biological assets.
Cumulative stage of completion in the production process    Based on an average number of days in production over a total average grow cycle of between 13 and 15 weeks.    An increase to the average stage of completion of the plants would result in an increase to the fair value of biological assets.

The Company’s estimates are, by their nature, subject to change and differences from the above assumptions will be reflected in the unrealized gain or loss on changes in fair value of biological assets in future periods.

The Company estimates the harvest yields for cannabis at various stages of growth. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, it was expected that the Company’s biological assets would yield approximately 24,849 thousand and 13,142 thousand grams, respectively.

The Company has quantified the sensitivity of the inputs in relation to biological assets as of June 30, 2020 and 2019 and expects the following effect on fair value as shown in the table below:

Weighted average stock price of options on the dates on which options were exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $4.16 and $8.09 per option, respectively.

The fair value of stock options granted under the Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following range of assumptions at the time of the grant:

 

     June 30,
2020

Risk-free annual interest rate

   0.79% to 1.01%

Expected annual dividend yield

   0%

Expected stock price volatility

   65% to 81%

Expected life of stock options

   5 to 7 years

Forfeiture rate

   5%

Fair value at grant date

   $2.57 to $2.92

Stock price at grant date

   $4.11 to $4.56

Exercise price range

   $4.11 to $4.56

Volatility was estimated by using the average historical volatility of comparable companies from a representative peer group of publicly traded companies. An increase in volatility would result in an increase in fair value at grant date. The expected life in years represents the period of time that options issued are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on U.S. treasury bills with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options.

The fair value of RSUs granted was determined by the fair value of the Company’s share price on the date of grant. A number of RSUs granted have the ability to settle in cash. These awards have been determined to be liability-classified awards and are required to be marked-to-market as of the end of each reporting period.

Under IFRS 3, the Company will retrospectively adjust the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of the acquisition date. During the measurement period, the Company will also recognize additional assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date. The measurement period ends as soon as the Company receives the information it was seeking about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date or learns that more information is not obtainable. However, the measurement period shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company updated its valuation of Origin House intangible assets acquired, which resulted in an increase of $9,189 thousand to the acquisition date value of intangible assets and an associated increase of $2,775 thousand to the acquisition date value of the deferred tax liability, resulting in an offsetting reduction in goodwill. The Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and the above purchase price allocation schedule have been retrospectively adjusted for this measurement period adjustment. The purchase price allocation for the Origin House transaction is substantially complete, with the exception of certain amounts related to income taxes.

The Company’s liability related to liability-classified equity awards decreased to $53 thousand as of June 30, 2020 due to changes in the Company’s share price and settlement of vested awards. See Note 12 for further details.

In connection with the Origin House acquisition, the Company acquired deferred consideration liabilities valued at $3,807 thousand, primarily related to $3,700 thousand of deferred consideration associated with Origin House’s previous acquisition of Cub City. In May 2020, the Company settled these obligations through issuance of 750 thousand SVS, valued at $2,220 thousand and cash payment of $1,480 thousand. In April 2020, the Company issued 338 thousand shares, value at $1,000 thousand, in accordance with the post combination remuneration agreement with FloraCal.

The Company generates revenue at the point in time the control of the product is transferred to the customer, as the Company has a right to payment, and the customer has assumed significant risks and rewards of such product. The Company does not engage in long-term sales contracts.

 

  (b)

Loyalty Programs

The Company has customer loyalty programs where retail customers accumulate points based on their level of spending. These points are recorded as a contract liability until customers redeem their points for discounts on cannabis and vape products as part of an in-store sales transaction. In addition, the Company records a performance obligation as a reduction of revenue based on the estimated probability of point obligation incurred, which is calculated based on a standalone selling price that ranges between $0.025 and $0.10 per loyalty point. Upon redemption, the loyalty program obligation is relieved and the offset is recorded as revenue. As of June 30, 2020, there were 37,464 thousand points outstanding, with an approximate value of $658 thousand. The Company expects the outstanding loyalty points will be redeemed within one year.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

 

  (a)

Claims and Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2020, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s operations. There are also no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers, or affiliates is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.

 

  (b)

Contingencies

The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of local and state regulations. Failure to comply with one or more of those regulations could result in fines, restrictions on its operations, or losses of permits that could result in the Company ceasing operations. While management believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with applicable local and state regulations as of June 30, 2020, cannabis regulations continue to evolve and are subject to differing interpretations. As a result, the Company may be subject to regulatory fines, penalties or restrictions in the future. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a contingent liability of $107 thousand related to the Origin House acquisition.

 

20.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

 

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments are held at amortized cost (adjusted for impairments or expected credit losses, as applicable) or FVTPL. The carrying values of financial instruments held at amortized cost approximate their fair values as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 due to their nature and relatively short maturity date. Financial assets and liabilities with embedded derivative features are carried at FVTPL.

Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs to fair value measurements. The three levels of hierarchy are:

 

   

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Cresco Labs Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

(Unaudited)

 

 

   

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

 

   

Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Unless otherwise noted, the Company considers all financial instruments classified as FVTPL to be Level 1 instruments.

There have been no transfers between fair value levels valuing these assets during the year.

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

  (b)

Loans receivable, short-term with Derivative Features

On August 12, 2019, the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note that is convertible, at the Company’s discretion, into additional membership units approximating 1% ownership of the parent company of Lighthouse. The loan has a maturity of 18 months and an option for the Company to convert into additional membership units. As of June 30, 2020, this loan had a fair value of $2,123 thousand. As of December 31, 2019, this loan had a fair value of $2,236 and was classified as a Loans receivable, long-term. This loan is measured at FVTPL and transferred classification from a long-term loan receivable to a short-term loan receivable in the current year. See Note 8 for discussion of the Company’s investment in Lighthouse.

Expected Credit Loss (ECL)

The Company calculates ECLs for loan receivables and restricted cash by considering cash shortfalls on a discounted basis it would incur in various default scenarios for prescribed future periods and multiplying the shortfalls by the probability of each scenario occurring, which is determined through the exercise of judgement. The Company recognized impairment losses of $113 thousand during both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020 and $nil during both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 on Loans receivable, short-term.

 

  (c)

Loans Receivable, Long-Term

The Company entered into certain loan arrangements with Verdant Creations, LLC. that contained embedded derivatives comprising of a call and put option and a stated interest rate of 5.25%. Settlement of the instruments varies based on contingent events and returns are not fixed. As such, the Company records this loan receivable at FVTPL. Each period, the loan is measured using a probability-weighting analysis of expected outcomes, which utilize Level 3 inputs. The inputs included market rates ranging from 4.3% to 16.9%, a risk-free rate of 0.2% and expected settlement timing of 0.97 to 1.19 years. Changes in Level 3 inputs and assumptions utilized resulted in a fair value gain of $840 thousand and $292 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $nil for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The loan had a fair value of $17,584 thousand and $16,007 thousand as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Interest receivable attributable to the loan was $901 thousand as of June 30, 2020 and $nil as of December 31, 2019. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, of the $15,500 thousand maximum loan commitment, $15,255 thousand and $10,741 thousand, respectively, had been drawn on these loans.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has a loan receivable of $473 thousand and $390 thousand, respectively. The Company records this loan receivable at amortized cost and has a stated interest rate of 10%.

In connection with the acquisition of Origin House, the Company assumed a loan receivable with a fair value of $331 thousand at both the acquisition date and June 30, 2020.

 

  (d)

Derivative Liability

In conjunction with its acquisition of PDI, the Company recorded a derivative liability of $178 thousand at the acquisition date for an NCI put option, by which the remaining NCI holders could put their shares for a fixed amount of cash within one year of the acquisition legal close/funding date. The derivative was valued using a discount rate of 9%. In April 2020, these holders exercised their put option which resulted in the Company paying $203 thousand to purchase the unowned interest of PDI. As a result, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a $25 thousand mark-to-market loss to match the settlement value.

Share Purchase Warrants

At June 30, 2020, the Company had 6,442 thousand warrants outstanding. Of the outstanding warrants, 6,233 thousand warrants issued to underwriters associated with September 2019 financing, sellers from the Valley Ag acquisition and previous holders of Randsburg warrants were classified as long-term derivative liabilities. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, 12 thousand Valley Ag warrants were exercised for $ 51 thousand, resulting in a realized loss of $6 thousand and an increase to share capital of $91 thousand. In the six months ended June 30, 2019, 22 thousand broker warrants were exercised for $147 thousand, resulting in a realized gain of $8 thousand and an increase to share capital of $249 thousand.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a mark-to-market loss, due to changes in the Company’s share price and other market factors, of $3,291 thousand and an unrealized foreign exchange loss of $422 thousand. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company did not record a mark-to-market gain or loss, and recorded an unrealized foreign exchange loss of $6 thousand.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a mark-to-market gain, due to changes in the Company’s share price and other market factors, of $6,418 thousand and an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $178 thousand. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded a mark-to- market loss, due to changes in the Company’s share price and other market factors, of $235 thousand and an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $6 thousand.

All warrants classified as long-term derivative liabilities are measured at FVTPL.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value of liability-classified warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model utilizing the following assumptions:

 

     June 30,
2020
   December 31,
2019

Risk-free annual interest rate

   0.14% - 0.22%    1.58% - 1.61%

Forfeiture rate

   0%    0%

Share price at period end

   $4.11    $6.86

Volatility was estimated by using the average historical volatility of comparable companies from a representative peer group of publicly traded cannabis companies.

Financial Risk Management

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board and the Company’s management mitigates these risks by assessing, monitoring and approving the Company’s risk management processes:

 

  (a)

Credit and Banking Risk

Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The maximum credit exposure at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, and loans receivable. The Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to its customers or loan counterparties, based on cannabis industry growth in its key markets and the low interest rate environment. Although all deposited cash is placed with U.S.

financial institutions in good standing with regulatory authorities, changes in U.S. federal banking laws related to the deposit and holding of funds derived from activities related to the cannabis industry have passed the House of Representatives but have not yet been voted on within the Senate. Given that current U.S. federal law provides that the production and possession of cannabis is illegal, there is a strong argument that banks cannot accept for deposit funds from businesses involved with the cannabis industry.

The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 12, 2020 and has caused significant economic uncertainty and consequently it is difficult to reliably measure the potential impact of this uncertainty on the Company’s future financial results.

The Company’s aging of Accounts receivables as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was approximately as follows:

Total accounts receivable, gross

   $ 17,326      $ 16,726  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $53 thousand and $nil, respectively, to account for expected credit loss and recorded an additional $72 thousand and $nil, respectively, in bad debt related to invoice write-offs. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $266 thousand and $120 thousand, respectively, to account for expected credit loss and recorded an additional $100 thousand and $nil, respectively, in bad debt related to invoice write-offs.

 

  (b)

Asset Forfeiture Risk

Because the cannabis industry remains illegal under U.S. federal law, any property owned by participants in the cannabis industry which are either used in the course of conducting such business, or are the proceeds of such business, could be subject to seizure by law enforcement and subsequent civil asset forfeiture. Even if the owner of the property was never charged with a crime, the property in question could still be seized and subject to an administrative proceeding by which, with minimal due process, it could be subject to forfeiture.

 

  (c)

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due. In December 2019, the Company entered into the ATM Offering for subordinated voting shares in the Company to be issued at the discretion of management to raise up to C$55,000 thousand to fund corporate operations. See Note 11 for further information. In February 2020, the Company entered into a non-brokered credit agreement for a senior secured term loan with an initial principal balance of $100,000 thousand. The Company will continue to raise capital as needed to fund operations and expansion. The maturity analysis for lease obligations is located in Note 7.

Market Risk

 

  a.

Currency Risk

The operating results and financial position of the Company are reported in U.S. dollars. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are denominated primarily in U.S. dollars. However, from time to time some of the Company’s financial transactions are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The results of the Company’s operations are subject to currency transaction and translation risks. The Company recorded a $178 thousand foreign exchange gain and a $422 thousand foreign exchange loss during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The Company recorded an immaterial amount of foreign exchange losses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. See Note 17 for additional detail.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.

 

  b.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company calculates an incremental borrowing rate to use in the valuation of its financial instruments. The Company’s effective interest rates for its Term Loan range from 16.1% to 17.0% and the stated interest rate varies from 12.7% to 13.2% based on the term elected by the lender. The Company’s weighted average effective interest rate for its OCN Loan is 27.1% and its stated interest rate is 10%. See Note 14 for further information.

(Unaudited)

 

 

  c.

Price Risk

Price risk is the risk of variability in fair value due to movements in equity or market prices. The Company is subject to price risk related to derivative liabilities, contingent consideration and liability-classified RSUs that are valued based on the Company’s own stock price. An increase or decrease in stock price by 10% would result in an associated increase or decrease in fair value and Other (expense) income, net of $3,119 thousand.

 

  d.

Tax Risk

Tax risk is the risk of changes in the tax environment that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. Currently, state licensed marijuana businesses are assessed a comparatively high effective federal tax rate due to section 280E, which bars businesses from deducting all expenses except their cost of sales when calculating federal tax liability. Any increase in tax levies resulting from additional tax measures may have a further adverse effect on the operations of the Company, while any decrease in such tax levies will be beneficial to future operations. See Note 24 for the Company’s disclosure of uncertain tax positions.

 

  e.

Regulatory Risk

Regulatory risk pertains to the risk that the Company’s business objectives are contingent, in part, upon the compliance of regulatory requirements. Due to the nature of the industry, the Company recognizes that regulatory requirements are more stringent and punitive in nature. Any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain regulatory approvals can significantly delay operational and product development and can have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operation, and financial condition. The Company is cognizant of the advent of regulatory changes occurring in the cannabis industry on the city, state, and national levels. Although regulatory outlook on the cannabis industry has been moving in a positive trend, the Company is aware of the effect that unforeseen regulatory changes could have on the goals and operations of the business as a whole.

 

21.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

The Company operates in one segment, the cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, and sale of cannabis.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company generated 98% and 97%, respectively, of its revenue in the United States with the remainder generated in Canada. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, all revenues were generated in the United States.

 

22.

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net earnings or loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding.

Potentially dilutive securities of approximately 143,236 thousand and 154,500 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 144,711 thousand and 154,500 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, were excluded in the calculation of diluted EPS for these periods as their impact would have been anti-dilutive due to net losses in the periods.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES AND DEFERRED INCOME TAXES

 

The Company’s effective tax rate was 155% and 335% with tax expense of $13,312 thousand and of $5,586 thousand, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The Company’s effective tax rate was (1,236)% and (93)% with tax expense of $16,744 thousand and of $5,549 thousand, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Income tax expense is recognized based on management’s estimate of the effective annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year with one-time events recorded in the period incurred.

The Company recognized a total net benefit related to one-time events of $12 thousand and $3,298 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $105 thousand and $3,298 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

No tax expense or benefit was recognized for financial losses of $3,661 thousand and $2,975 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $8,573 thousand and $5,551 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Company determined that the tax impact of certain arrangements between its management companies and operating companies is not probable that it would be sustained under IFRIC 23 due to the evolving interpretations of Section 280E. As a result, the Company recorded a reserve for uncertain tax positions of $10,454 thousand as of June 30, 2020, an increase during the six months ended June 30, 2020 of $2,959 thousand. Interest and penalties associated with the reserve are $830 thousand, an increase of $129 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

In Illinois, Cresco’s dispensary applications received the highest, second highest and third highest scores, respectively, of all applications reviewed by the State of Illinois. Subsequently, the Company was the first cultivator to receive approvals to grow adult-use cannabis; all three cultivation facilities were granted approvals in that state. Additionally, the Company’s five dispensary locations were approved for dispensing adult-use cannabis in that state upon legalization, effective January 1, 2020. Secondary sites corresponding to the five current dispensary licenses were also awarded, allowing for up to ten dispensary locations upon zoning approval by local jurisdictions. The zoning for the first such secondary site dispensary located in Chicago’s River North neighborhood was approved by the City of Chicago on March 6, 2020. On May 28, 2020, the Company began adult-use cannabis sales at this location. The Company began adult-use cannabis sales at the Danville, South Beloit, and Schaumburg locations on May 27, 2020, July 13, 2020, and August 6, 2020, respectively. In Pennsylvania, Cresco was awarded the highest score during the application process and had the second highest overall score, making it one of only five cultivators that was also awarded a dispensary license which allows for up to three dispensaries. The Company was subsequently awarded a second dispensary license allowing an additional three dispensaries for a total of six locations across the state. During 2019, the Company announced a new dispensary brand, Sunnyside*, created to accelerate industry growth and shift consumer expectations and perceptions around shopping for cannabis from intimidation and doubt to curiosity and acceptance through a new trail and marketing approach. Five (5) Sunnyside* dispensaries opened on January 1, 2020 in the Illinois market and four (4) additional locations began operations in May, July, and August 2020. Four (4) New York locations were rebranded as Sunnyside* dispensaries in February 2020. One (1) Arizona location was rebranded as a Sunnyside* dispensary in June 2020. One (1) Massachusetts location and three (3) Pennsylvania locations were rebranded as Sunnyside* dispensaries in July 2020.

Cresco is currently located at Suite 110, 400 W. Erie St, Chicago, IL 60654 and employs approximately 1,800 people, while being named one of the “Best Places to Work” by Crain’s Chicago Business in 2019.

Issuing IPO, Reverse Takeover & Corporate Structure

The Company (then Randsburg Gold Corporation) was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia under the Company Act (British Columbia) on July 6, 1990. On December 30, 1997, the Company changed its name from Randsburg Gold Corporation to Randsburg International Gold Corp. (“Randsburg”) and consolidated its common shares on a five (5) old for one (1) new basis. On November 30, 2018, in connection with the Reverse Takeover, the Company (i) consolidated its outstanding Randsburg Common Shares on an 812.63 old for one (1) new basis, and (ii) filed an alteration to its Notice of Articles with the British Columbia Registrar of Companies to change its name from Randsburg to Cresco Labs Inc. and to amend the rights and restrictions of its existing class of common shares, redesignate such class as the class of Subordinate Voting Shares and create the Proportionate Voting Shares and the Super Voting Shares.

The Company’s registered office is located at Suite 2200, 1055 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 2E9. Pursuant to the Reverse Takeover, among the Company (then Randsburg) and Cresco, a series of transactions was completed on November 30, 2018 resulting in a reorganization of Cresco and Randsburg and pursuant to which Randsburg became the indirect parent and sole voting unitholder of Cresco. The series of transactions constituted a Reverse Takeover of Randsburg by Cresco under applicable securities laws.

Cresco was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of Illinois on October 8, 2013 and is governed by the Pre-Combination LLC Agreement. The Pre-Combination LLC Agreement was further amended and restated in connection with the completion of the Reverse Takeover.

Set forth below is the organization chart of the Company.

Recent Developments

On April 26, 2019, the Company announced that it filed and received a receipt for a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus (the “Shelf Prospectus”) with the securities commissions in each of the provinces of Canada, except Québec. The Shelf Prospectus, when made final, will allow the Company to offer up to C$500,000 thousand of subordinate voting shares, debt securities, subscription receipts, warrants, and units, or any combination thereof, from time to time during the 25-month period that the final Shelf Prospectus is effective. The Company filed this Shelf Prospectus in order to maintain financial strength and flexibility going forward; the final version of the Shelf Prospectus was filed and accepted on July 26, 2019. The specific terms of any future offering of securities, including the use of proceeds from any offering, will be established in prospectus supplements to the Shelf Prospectus, which will be filed with the applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities.

On May 28, 2019, the Company announced that shareholders representing 205,172,192 common shares (the “Shareholders”) have entered into voluntary lock-up agreements with the Company (the “Agreements”), representing 97% of the shares subject to an initial lock-up and 80% of total issued subordinate voting shares (on an as-if converted basis). Included among the Shareholders are all of the Company’s founders, its entire executive management team and board of directors, as well as several of the largest outside investors in Cresco. The voluntary lock-up Agreements stipulate that these shareholders will not, subject to limited exception, offer to sell, contract to sell, lend, pledge or otherwise dispose of any Cresco securities, or enter into any transaction to such effect, directly or indirectly, in addition to other restrictions until December 3, 2019, when a portion of the shares will be released followed by the remainder of the shares being released by June 3, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, this lock-up has expired.

On September 18, 2019, the Company filed a prospectus supplement (the “Offering”), together with the short form base shelf prospectus described above, which qualified the distribution of 7,350,000 units (the “Offered Units”) of Cresco at a price of C$10.00 per Offered Unit (the “Offering Price”) pursuant to an amended and restated underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) dated as of September 16, 2019 between Cresco and Canaccord Genuity Corp., Beacon Securities Limited, Cormark Securities Inc., Eight Capital and GMP Securities L.P. (collectively, the “Underwriters”). Each Offered Unit was comprised of one subordinate voting share (“SVS”) of Cresco (each, a “Unit Share”) and one-half of one SVS purchase warrant of Cresco (each whole SVS purchase warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant is exercisable into one SVS of Cresco (each, a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of C$12.50 per Warrant Share at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the date that is 36 months following the closing of the Offering. The Offered Units immediately separate into Unit Shares and Warrants upon issuance. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, Cresco agreed to pay to the Underwriter a fee representing 5.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering.

Cresco granted the Underwriter an option to purchase up to an additional 1,102,500 Offered Units (the “Additional Units”) at the Offering Price per Additional Unit on the same terms and conditions as the Offering for a period of 30 days from and including the closing date (September 24, 2019) to cover over allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes. On October 24, 2019, the Company issued an additional 551,250 share purchase warrants (the “Additional Warrants”) at a price of C$2.16 per Additional Warrant for gross proceeds of C$1,190,700, pursuant to the partial exercise of the Underwriter’s over-allotment option.

On December 3, 2019, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement (“EDA”) with Canaccord Genuity Corp. pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, sell up to C$55,000,000 of SVS (the “At-the-market Program”). The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the At-the-market Program, if any, principally for general corporate purposes, including repaying indebtedness outstanding from time to time, funding ongoing discretionary capital programs and potential future acquisitions. The volume and timing of sales, if any, will be determined at the sole discretion of the Company’s management and in accordance with the terms of the EDA.

On February 2, 2020, the Company closed on a senior secured term loan agreement (the “Term Loan”) for an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 thousand, with the mutual option to increase the principal amount to $200,000 thousand.

Federal Regulatory Environment

Canadian-Securities Administrators Staff Notice 51-352 (Revised) – Issuers with U.S. Marijuana-Related Activities (“Staff Notice 51-352”) provides specific disclosure expectations for issuers that currently have, or are in the process of developing, cannabis-related activities in the United States as permitted within a particular state’s regulatory framework. All issuers with United States cannabis-related activities are expected to clearly and prominently disclose certain prescribed information in prospectus filings and other required disclosure documents.

In accordance with Staff Notice 51-352, Cresco will evaluate, monitor and reassess the disclosure contained herein, and any related risks, on an ongoing basis and the same will be supplemented, amended and communicated to investors in public filings, including in the event of government policy changes or the introduction of new or amended guidance, laws or regulations regarding marijuana regulation. As a result of Cresco’s operations, it is subject to Staff Notice 51-352 and accordingly provides the following disclosure.

Cresco currently directly derives a substantial portion of its revenues from the cannabis industry in certain U.S. states, which industry is illegal under U.S. Federal Law. As of June 30, 2020, the Company is directly involved (through licensed subsidiaries) in both the adult-use and medical cannabis industry in the states of Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Arizona, Maryland, California, Michigan, New York and Massachusetts as permitted within such states under applicable state law which states have regulated such industries.

The cultivation, sale and use of cannabis is illegal under federal law pursuant to the U.S. Controlled Substance Act of 1970 (the “CSA”). Under the CSA, the policies and regulations of the United States Federal Government and its agencies are that cannabis has no medical benefit and a range of activities including cultivation and the personal use of cannabis is prohibited. The Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution establishes that the United States Constitution and federal laws made pursuant to it are paramount and in case of conflict between federal and state law, the federal law shall apply.

On January 4, 2018, former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a memorandum to U.S. district attorneys which rescinded previous guidance from the U.S. Department of Justice specific to cannabis enforcement in the United States, including the Cole Memo (as defined herein). With the Cole Memo rescinded, U.S. federal prosecutors have been given discretion in determining whether to prosecute cannabis-related violations of U.S. federal law. If the Department of Justice policy was to aggressively pursue financiers or equity owners of cannabis-related business, and United States Attorneys followed such Department of Justice policies through pursuing prosecutions, then the Company could face (i) seizure of its cash and other assets used to support or derived from its cannabis subsidiaries, and (ii) the arrest of its employees, directors, officers, managers and investors, who could face charges of ancillary criminal violations of the CSA for aiding and abetting and conspiring to violate the CSA by virtue of providing financial support to state-licensed or permitted cultivators, processors, distributors, and/or retailers of cannabis. Additionally, as has recently been affirmed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, employees, directors, officers, managers and investors of the Company who are not U.S. citizens face the risk of being barred from entry into the United States for life. The Rohrabacher–Farr amendment (also known as the Rohrabacher–Blumenauer amendment) prohibits the Justice Department from spending funds to interfere with the implementation of state medical cannabis laws. It first passed the House in May becoming law in December 2014 as part of an omnibus spending bill. The passage of the amendment was the first time either chamber of Congress had voted to protect medical cannabis patients, and is viewed as a historic victory for cannabis reform advocates at the federal level. The amendment does not change the legal status of cannabis, however, and must be renewed each fiscal year in order to remain in effect.

Unless and until the United States Congress amends the CSA with respect to medical and/or adult-use cannabis (and as to the timing or scope of any such potential amendments there can be no assurance), there is a significant risk that federal authorities may enforce current U.S. federal law. If the U.S. federal government begins to enforce U.S. federal laws relating to cannabis in states where the sale and use of cannabis is currently legal, or if existing applicable state laws are repealed or curtailed, the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects would be materially adversely affected.

Despite the current state of the federal law and the CSA, the states of California, Nevada, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, Illinois, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Vermont and Alaska, and the District of Columbia, have legalized recreational use of cannabis. Maine has not yet begun recreational cannabis commercial operations as of June 30, 2020. In early 2018, Vermont became the first state to legalize recreational cannabis by passage in a state legislature but does not allow commercial sales of recreational cannabis. Although the District of Columbia voters passed a ballot initiative in November 2014, no commercial recreational operations exist because of a prohibition on using funds for regulation within a federal appropriations amendment to local District spending powers.

In addition, over half of the U.S. states have enacted legislation to legalize and regulate the sale and use of medical cannabis, provided that there are strict limits on the levels of THC. However, there is no guarantee that state laws legalizing and regulating the sale and use of cannabis will not be repealed or overturned, or that local governmental authorities will not limit the applicability of state laws within their respective jurisdictions.

The Company’s objective is to capitalize on the opportunities presented as a result of the changing regulatory environment governing the cannabis industry in the United States. Accordingly, there are a number of significant risks associated with the business of the Company. Unless and until the United States Congress amends the CSA with respect to medical and/or adult-use cannabis (and as to the timing or scope of any such potential amendments there can be no assurance), there is a significant risk that federal authorities may enforce current federal law, and the business of the Company may be deemed to be producing, cultivating, extracting, or dispensing cannabis or aiding or abetting or otherwise engaging in a conspiracy to commit such acts in violation of federal law in the United States.

For these reasons, the Company’s investments in the United States cannabis market may subject the Company to heightened scrutiny by regulators, stock exchanges, clearing agencies and other Canadian authorities. There are a number of risks associated with the business of the Company. See section entitled “Financial Risk Management” and see sections “Risk Factors”, “General Development of the Business” and “Description of the Business” in the Annual Information Form dated April 28, 2020.

On September 25, 2019, the Secure and Fair Enforcement Banking Act of 2019 (“SAFE Banking Act”) was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives in a 321 to 103 vote. The SAFE Banking Act would permanently protect state-chartered banks and credit unions that service state-legal cannabis companies from being penalized by federal regulators. On May 17, 2020, the legislative language of the SAFE Banking Act was included in a stimulus bill known as The Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions Act (“HEROES Act”). The HEROES Act was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives in a 208 to 199 vote. A negotiated version of the fourth COVID-19 package is expected to be up for vote in the Senate in the future.

On November 20, 2019, the House Judiciary Committee approved the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act of 2019 (“MORE Act”) in a 24 to 10 vote. The MORE Act would decriminalize and remove Cannabis as a Schedule I substance. The MORE Act may be readdressed by the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives before the end of 2020.

The States In Which We Operate, Their Legal Framework and How It Affects Our Business

Illinois Operations

The Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act, which allows individuals diagnosed with a debilitating medical condition access to medical marijuana, became effective January 1, 2014. There were over 41 qualifying conditions as part of the initial medical program, including epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, and post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”).

The Opioid Alternative Pilot Program launched on January 31, 2019 and allows patients that receive or are qualified to receive opioid prescriptions access to medical marijuana as an alternative in situations where an opioid could generally be prescribed. Under this new program, patients with doctor approval can receive near-immediate access to cannabis products from an Illinois licensed dispensary. The Opioid Alternative Pilot Program eliminates the previously required fingerprinting and background checks that often delay patients’ access to medical cannabis by up to three months.

In June 2019, the Illinois House of Representatives and Senate passed Senate Bill 2023 which added 11 additional debilitating illnesses such as chronic pain, migraines and irritable bowel syndrome to the list of qualifying medical conditions. This bill was signed into law in August 2019 by Governor JB Pritzker.

In January 2019, JB Pritzker was sworn into office as Governor of Illinois. Cresco’s CEO and co-founder, Charles Bachtell, was appointed to the Cannabis Legalization Subcommittee of the governor’s transition team. Cannabis Legalization was one of four subcommittees under the Governor’s Restorative Justice and Safe Communities Transition Committee. The primary goals of the Cannabis Legalization Subcommittee were to evaluate and develop implementation recommendations for the Governor’s platform on legalizing cannabis. In June 2019, Governor Pritzker signed the Cannabis Regulation and Taxation Act into law, making Illinois the 11th state to legalize recreational marijuana.

Illinois’ retail market for the first six calendar months of 2020 was $410 million, representing a 295% year-over-year increase.

Cresco currently operates three (3) medical/adult-use cannabis cultivation and manufacturing centers in Illinois, owns five (5) medical/adult-use dispensary locations in Illinois, and owns four (4) adult-use dispensary locations in Illinois. Licenses were awarded based on merit in a highly competitive application process to applicants who demonstrated strong operational expertise and financial backing.

Cresco is licensed to operate in the state of Illinois as a medical and adult-use cultivator and medical and adult-use product manufacturer. Phoenix, PDI, FloraMedex, MedMar Lakeview, and MedMar Rockford, are licensed to operate retail dispensaries in the state of Illinois. These dispensaries were rebranded as Sunnyside* dispensaries in early 2020. Under applicable laws, the licenses permit Cresco and its subsidiaries to collectively cultivate, manufacture, process, package,

sell, and purchase marijuana pursuant to the terms of the licenses, which are issued by the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation under the provisions of the Illinois Revised Statutes 410 ILCS 130. All licenses are, as of the date hereof, active with the State of Illinois. There are two categories of licenses in Illinois: (i) cultivation/processing; and (ii) dispensary. The licenses are independently issued for each approved activity.

All cultivation/processing establishments must register with the Illinois Department of Agriculture. All dispensaries must register with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. If applications contain all required information and after vetting by officers, establishments are issued a medical marijuana establishment registration certificate. Registration certificates are valid for a period of one year and are subject to annual renewals after required fees are paid and the business remains in good standing. Renewal requests are typically communicated through email from the Department of Agriculture or Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and include a renewal form. While Cresco’s compliance controls have been developed to mitigate the risk of any material violations of a license arising, there is no assurance that Illinois cannabis licenses will be renewed in the future in a timely manner. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations of Illinois cannabis and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

The retail dispensary licenses held by Phoenix, PDI, FloraMedex, MedMar Lakeview, and MedMar Rockford permit the Company to purchase marijuana and marijuana products from cultivation/processing facilities and allows the sale of marijuana and marijuana products to registered patients and adult-use customers. The initial five dispensary locations were approved on October 16, 2019 to begin dispensing adult-use cannabis on January 1, 2020 and were also approved to open secondary site adult-use dispensaries by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. Two of the five additional dispensaries will be located within the City of Chicago. In May 2020, the Company announced the opening of the sixth and seventh Sunnyside* locations in Danville and Chicago-River North, respectively. In July 2020, the Company announced the opening of an eighth Sunnyside* location in South Beloit. In August 2020, the Company announced the opening of a ninth Sunnyside* location in Schaumburg.

The three medical cultivation licenses held by Cresco permit it to acquire, possess, cultivate, manufacture/process into edible medical marijuana products and/or medical marijuana-infused products, deliver, transfer, have tested, transport, supply or sell marijuana and related supplies to medical marijuana dispensaries. In September 2019, the three cultivation facilities were approved for growing adult-use cannabis by the Illinois Department of Agriculture, for a total cultivation capacity of 630 thousand square feet, the maximum allowed by law.

Pennsylvania Operations

The Pennsylvania medical marijuana program was signed into law on April 17, 2016 under Act 16 and provided access to state residents with one of 21 qualifying conditions, including epilepsy, cancer, chronic pain, and PTSD. The state, which consists of over 12 million U.S. citizens and qualifies as the fifth largest population in the U.S., operates as a high-barrier market with very limited market participation. The state originally awarded only 12 licenses to cultivate/process and 27 licenses to operate retail dispensaries (which entitled holders up to three medical dispensary locations). Out of the hundreds of applicants in each license category, Yeltrah was awarded one (1) medical cannabis cultivation and manufacturing center in Pennsylvania, and three (3) dispensary locations in Pennsylvania.

Retail sales commenced in February 2018 to a limited number of retail locations across the state. On February 15, 2018, Yeltrah was the first cultivator/processor to release product into the Pennsylvania market (approximately 6 weeks ahead of any other producer), and its dispensary was the first to sell product to patients in the state.

On March 22, 2018, it was announced that the final phase of the Pennsylvania medical marijuana program would initiate its rollout, which will include 13 additional cultivation/processing licenses and 23 additional dispensary licenses. The application period ran from April 2018 through May 17, 2018. Yeltrah submitted additional dispensary applications and in December of 2018 an additional dispensary license was obtained to open three (3) additional dispensary locations, for a total of six (6) in the state of Pennsylvania.

In the introductory months of the program, Pennsylvania’s medical marijuana dispensaries experienced supply shortages and were unable to keep up with statewide demand. It was announced on April 17, 2018 that dry flower would be included in the regulations as an approved product form for sale and consumption (in addition to the already approved forms of concentrates, pills, and tinctures).

Under applicable laws, the licenses permit Yeltrah to cultivate, manufacture, process, package, sell, and purchase medical marijuana pursuant to the terms of the licenses, which are issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Health under the provisions of Medical Marijuana Act (35 P.S. § § 10231.101 — 10231.2110) and Chapters 1141, 1151 and 1161 of the Pennsylvania regulations. All licenses are, as of the date hereof, active with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. There are two categories of licenses in Pennsylvania: (i) cultivation/processing; and (ii) dispensary. The licenses are independently issued for each approved activity for use at Yeltrah facilities in Pennsylvania.

All cultivation/processing establishments must register with the Pennsylvania Department of Health. All dispensaries must register with the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Registration certificates are valid for a period of one year and are subject to annual renewals after required fees are paid and the business remains in good standing. Specifically, licenses that Yeltrah currently holds have each undergone one or two renewals. While Cresco’s compliance controls have been developed to mitigate the risk of any material violations of a license arising, there is no assurance that Pennsylvania cannabis licenses will be renewed in the future in a timely manner. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations of Pennsylvania cannabis and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

The retail dispensary licenses permit Yeltrah to purchase marijuana and marijuana products from cultivation/processing facilities and allows the sale of marijuana and marijuana products to registered patients.

The medical cultivation licenses permit Yeltrah to acquire, possess, cultivate, manufacture/process into edible medical marijuana products and/or medical marijuana-infused products, deliver, transfer, have tested, transport, supply or sell marijuana and related supplies to medical marijuana dispensaries. In May 2020, the Company announced the completion of its cultivation and manufacturing facility expansion which provides an additional sixty-six thousand (66,000) square feet of indoor and greenhouse cultivation area, bringing the total cultivation space in the facility to eighty-eight thousand (88,000) square feet.

On September 25, 2019, Pennsylvania’s Governor held a press conference to announce a majority of Pennsylvania citizens were in favor of adult-use cannabis. He called on the General Assembly to consider the legalization of adult-use cannabis and provided additional actions to seek a path forward.

Ohio Operations

House Bill 523, effective on September 8, 2016, legalized medical marijuana in Ohio. The Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program (“MMCP”) allows people with certain medical conditions, upon the recommendation of an Ohio-licensed physician certified by the State Medical Board, to purchase and use medical marijuana. House Bill 523 required that the framework for the MMCP become effective as of September 2018. This timeframe allowed for a deliberate process to ensure the safety of the public and to promote access to a safe product.

The three following state government agencies are responsible for the operation of MMCP: (1) the Ohio Department of Commerce is responsible for overseeing medical marijuana cultivators, processors and testing laboratories; (2) the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy is responsible for overseeing medical marijuana retail dispensaries, the registration of medical marijuana patients and caregivers, the approval of new forms of medical marijuana and coordinating the Medical Marijuana Advisory Committee; and, (3) the State Medical Board of Ohio is responsible for certifying physicians to recommend medical marijuana and may add to the list of qualifying conditions for which medical marijuana can be recommended. The qualifying conditions in Ohio as a part of MMCP, include but are not limited to: cancer, epilepsy or other seizure disorder, inflammatory bowel disease, pain (either chronic, severe, or intractable) and PTSD. In order for a patient to be eligible to obtain medical marijuana, a physician must make a diagnosis of one of the qualifying conditions. Several forms of medical marijuana are legal in Ohio, these include: inhalation of marijuana through a vaporizer (not direct smoking), oils, tinctures, plant material, edibles, patches and any other forms approved by the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy.

On June 4, 2018, the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy awarded 56 medical marijuana provisional dispensary licenses. The licenses were awarded after an extensive review of 376 submitted dispensary applications.

Provisional licensees are authorized to begin the process of establishing a dispensary in accordance with the representations in their applications and the rules adopted by the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy. Per state of Ohio regulations, all provisional license holders have a maximum of six months to demonstrate compliance with the dispensary operational requirements to obtain a certificate of operation. Compliance will be determined through an inspection by a Board of Medical Marijuana Compliance Agent. Once a dispensary is awarded a certificate of operation, it can begin selling medical marijuana to Ohio patients and caregivers in accordance with Ohio laws and rules.

By rule, the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy is limited to issuing up to 60 dispensary licenses across the state but will have the authority to increase the number of licenses. To date, no announcement has been made if the number of licenses will be increased. Per the program rules, the Board will consider, on at least a biennial basis, whether enough medical marijuana dispensaries exist, considering the state population, the number of patients seeking to use medical marijuana, and the geographic distribution of dispensary sites.

Cresco Ohio was awarded one provisional dispensary license which is located in Wintersville, Ohio. The dispensary license permits Cresco Ohio to purchase marijuana and marijuana products from cultivation/processing facilities and allows the sale of marijuana and marijuana products to registered patients.

Cresco Ohio applied for and, on November 30, 2017, received one provisional cultivation license. Cresco Ohio’s cultivation facility is a hybrid greenhouse structure located in Yellow Springs, Ohio. The medical cultivation licenses permit will permit Cresco Ohio to acquire, possess, cultivate, manufacture/process into medical marijuana products, deliver, transfer, have tested, transport, supply or sell marijuana and related supplies to medical marijuana dispensaries.

A holder of a provisional cultivation license is prohibited from operating as a licensed cultivator and performing any cultivation or production activities, including the procurement of seeds, seedlings, or other starting plant material until a Certificate of Operation is issued by the Ohio Department of Commerce. This provisional license serves as authorization from the Ohio Department of Commerce for Cresco Ohio to begin the construction or modification of the facility and to secure any other applicable permits needed from local jurisdictions in order to receive a Certificate of Operation. Pursuant to Ohio Administrative Code s. 3796:2-1-06(B), a provisional license holder has nine (9) months to obtain a Certificate of Operation. On September 14, 2018, Cresco Ohio received its Certificate of Operation for cultivation.

On December 12, 2018, Cresco Ohio was granted the first dispensary Certificate of Operation in the state, which was over a month in advance of any other dispensary operator. Retail sales commenced on January 16, 2019 with the first cannabis sale taking place at the Wintersville dispensary. This was the second state medical marijuana program in which the Company was first to market.

The Company has certain agreements with Verdant Creations, LLC and its affiliates (“Verdant”) that will give the Company the option to purchase four additional Ohio dispensaries currently operated by Verdant. Completion of the transaction is subject to approval by the Ohio Board of Pharmacy and, upon closing, Cresco will have a total of five dispensaries in Ohio, the maximum allowed by the state. Cresco agreed to provide certain consulting services and financing to Verdant for the development and operation of the dispensaries in consideration of Verdant’s grant to Cresco of an option to acquire the dispensaries when permissible under Ohio regulations.

On June 8, 2020, Cresco Ohio was granted a provisional processing license by the state of Ohio. This license allows Cresco Ohio to extract oils and manufacture products from cannabis which will now provide the Company the ability to sell its entire brand portfolio in Ohio.

Ohio cultivation and processor licenses are renewable annually by the Ohio Department of Commerce. Renewal applications are due at least thirty days prior to the expiration date of the certificate of operation. The Department of Commerce shall grant a renewal if the renewal application was timely filed, the annual fee was timely paid, there are no reasons warranting denial of the renewal and the cultivator / processor passes inspection. Ohio dispensary licenses expire biennially on the date identified on the certificate. Renewal information, including a renewal fee, must be submitted at least forty-five days prior to the date the existing certificate expires. If the dispensary is operated in compliance with Ohio dispensary regulations, and the renewal fee is paid, the state board of pharmacy shall renew the certificate of operation within forty-five days after the renewal application is received. While Cresco’s compliance controls have been developed to mitigate the risk of any material violations of a license arising, there is no assurance that Ohio cannabis licenses will be renewed in the future in a timely manner. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations of Ohio cannabis and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

One January 28, 2020, the Company announced that it had completed the sale of its Yellow Springs, OH property to Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. (“IIP”). The previously announced sale was for consideration equal to approximately $10,500 thousand, which includes funding for additional tenant improvements. Concurrent with the closing of the sale, Cresco Labs entered into a long-term, triple-net lease agreement with IIP and will continue to operate the property as a licensed cannabis cultivation and processing facility. The property represents approximately 50,000 square feet of industrial space in aggregate. This sale marks Cresco’s fourth completed sale-and-leaseback transaction, the third with IIP.

California Operations

In 1996, California was the first state to legalize medical marijuana through Proposition 215, the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 (“CUA”). This legalized the use, possession and cultivation of medical marijuana by patients with a physician recommendation for treatment of cancer, anorexia, AIDS, chronic pain, spasticity, glaucoma, arthritis, migraine, or any other illness for which marijuana provides relief.

In 2003, Senate Bill 420 was signed into law establishing an optional identification card system for medical marijuana patients.

In September 2015, the California legislature passed three bills collectively known as the “Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act” (“MCRSA”). The MCRSA established a licensing and regulatory framework for medical marijuana businesses in California. The system created multiple license types for dispensaries, infused products manufacturers, cultivation facilities, testing laboratories, transportation companies, and distributors. Edible infused product manufacturers would require either volatile solvent or non-volatile solvent manufacturing licenses depending on their specific extraction methodology. Multiple agencies would oversee different aspects of the program and businesses would require a state license and local approval to operate. However, in November 2016, voters in California overwhelmingly passed Proposition 64, the “Adult-Use of Marijuana Act” (“AUMA”) creating an adult-use marijuana program for adults 21 years of age or older. AUMA had some conflicting provisions with MCRSA, so in June 2017, the California State Legislature passed Senate Bill No. 94, known as Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“MAUCRSA”), which amalgamates MCRSA and AUMA to provide a set of regulations to govern medical and adult-use licensing regime for cannabis businesses in the state of California. MAUCRSA went into effect on January 1, 2018. The four agencies that regulate marijuana at the state level are the Bureau of Cannabis Control (“BCC”), the California Department of Food and Agriculture (“CDFA”), the California Department of Public Health (“CDPH”), and the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (“CDTFA”).

In order to legally operate a medical or adult-use cannabis business in California, the operator must have both a local and state license. This requirement limits license holders to operate only in cities with marijuana licensing programs. Therefore, cities in California are allowed to determine if they will have a marijuana licensing program and determine the number of licenses they will issue to marijuana operators.

On June 7, 2018, Cresco acquired a 60% ownership interest in SLO, a marijuana cultivation facility in operation in the cities of Carpinteria (Santa Barbara County) and San Luis Obispo (San Luis Obispo County), California. On September 27, 2018, Cresco acquired a further 20% ownership interest to bring the total ownership to 80%. The cultivation facility has a capacity of up to 650,000 square feet of greenhouse production space.

 

11


SLO is licensed to cultivate, process, manufacture, and distribute medical and adult-use cannabis in the state of California pursuant to the terms of the California state licenses issued by the CDFA, CDPH, and BCC under the provision of MAUCRSA and California Assembly Bill No. 133. In California, licenses are independently issued by the respective agency.

California state and local licenses are renewed annually. Each year, licensees are required to submit a renewal application per guidelines published by BCC, CDFA, and CDPH. While renewals are annual, there is no ultimate expiry after which no renewals are permitted. Additionally, in respect of the renewal process, provided that the requisite renewal fees are paid, the renewal application is submitted in a timely manner, and there are no material violations noted against the applicable license, SLO would expect to receive the applicable renewed license in the ordinary course of business. While SLO’s compliance controls have been developed to mitigate the risk of any material violations of a license arising, there is no assurance that the licenses will be renewed in the future in a timely manner. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations of the Resulting Issuer and have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

SLO applied for and was granted licenses permitting it to cultivate, manufacture, and distribute retail medical (and in some instances, adult-use) cannabis and cannabis-related products:

Mendota (Fresno County)

 

   

SLO has been issued a provisional license for Type 7 (Manufacturing 2 – Volatile), Adult-Use & Medical (“A&M”).

 

   

SLO has been issued a provisional license for Type 11 (Distribution), A&M.

 

   

SLO submitted annual applications for the two listed license types to the state regulator and is awaiting approval for these annual applications.

Carpinteria (SB County)

 

   

SLO has been issued provisional licenses for Cultivation: Small Mixed-Light Tier 1. Additionally, SLO has been issued provisional licenses in:

 

   

Nursery, allowing for the planting and cultivation of medical cannabis from seeds, clones, and immature plants.

 

   

Processor Type, allowing for the harvesting, drying, curing, grading or tanning of cannabis as well as the packaging and labelling of certain non-manufactured cannabis.

 

   

SLO submitted annual applications for the three listed license types to the state regulator and is awaiting approval of annual applications.

Origin House

On January 8, 2020, Cresco acquired CannaRoyalty Corp. d/b/a Origin House, pursuant to which Cresco acquired all issued and outstanding shares of Origin House. Under the terms of the Origin House Agreement and subsequent amendments, holders of common shares of Origin House received 0.7031 subordinate voting shares of Cresco Labs for each Origin House share (the “Transaction”). The Company acquired 100% of all equity interests of Origin House for 66,482 thousand Cresco shares and 5,961 thousand replacement equity awards, valued at $428,246 thousand.

The Transaction represents a total consideration of $428.2 million on a fully-diluted basis, and as of this date, is among the largest of public company acquisitions in the history of the U.S. cannabis industry. The combined entity is one of the largest vertically-integrated multi-state cannabis operators in the United States; a leading North American cannabis company, by footprint; and one of the largest cannabis brand distributors.

 

12


Origin House has become a leading distributor and provider of brand support services in California, the world’s largest regulated cannabis market. Origin House’s proven strategy has been to build relationships with established dispensaries, build partnerships with established market-leading brands, develop promising cannabis product companies, and then leverage its full suite of support services to transform those products into strong California consumer brands. Since the closing of this acquisition, Cresco has access to several additional licenses for cultivation, manufacturing and distribution of cannabis within the state of California.

Oakland (Alameda County)

 

   

Origin House has been issued a provisional license for Type 6 (Manufacturing – Non-Volatile Solvent Extraction) A&M.

 

   

Origin House has been issued a provisional license for Type 11 (Distribution), Adult-Use.

 

   

Origin House submitted annual applications for the two listed license types to the state regulator and is awaiting approval for these annual applications.

West Sacramento (Yolo County)

 

   

Origin House has been issued one provisional license for Type 11 (Distribution), A&M.

 

   

Origin House submitted annual applications for the two listed license types to the state regulator and is awaiting approval for these annual applications.

La Habra (Orange County)

 

   

Origin House has been issued one provisional license for Type 11 (Distribution), A&M.

 

   

Origin House submitted annual applications for the two listed license types to the state regulator and is awaiting approval for these annual applications.

Unincorporated Sonoma (Sonoma County)

 

   

Origin House has been issued one provisional license for Cultivation, Medical Medium Indoor.

 

   

Origin House has been issued one provisional license for Processor, Medical.

 

   

Origin House has been issued one provisional license for Type 11 (Distribution), A&M.

 

   

Origin House submitted annual applications for the two listed license types to the state regulator and is awaiting approval for these annual applications.

Santa Rosa (Sonoma County)

 

   

Origin House has been issued one provisional license for Cultivation: Medical Small Indoor.

 

   

Origin House submitted annual applications for the two listed license types to the state regulator and is awaiting approval for these annual applications.

In addition to the eight active licenses listed above, Origin House continues to pursue new state license opportunities and recently applied for a Type 11 (Distribution) license for the Santa Rosa (Sonoma County) location.

Arizona Operations

In 2010, Arizona passed Ballot Proposition 203, which amended Title 36 to the Arizona Revised Statutes. This amendment added Chapter 28.1, titled the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act. (the “AMMA”). The AMMA is codified in Arizona Revised Statutes (“ARS”) § 36-2801 et. seq. The AMMA also appointed the Arizona Department of Health Services (the “ADHS”) as the regulator for the program and authorized ADHS to promulgate, adopt and enforce regulations for the AMMA. These ADHS Regulations are embodied in the Arizona Administrative Code (“AAC”) Title 9 Chapter 17 (the “Rules”).

The ADHS has established the Arizona Department of Health Services Medical Marijuana Program (“MMJ Program”), which includes a vertically integrated license, meaning if allocated a Medical Marijuana Dispensary Registration Certificate (“Dispensary License”), entities are authorized to dispense and cultivate medical cannabis. Each Dispensary License allows the holding entity to operate one on-site cultivation facility, and one off-site cultivation facility which can be located anywhere within the state of Arizona. An entity holding a Dispensary License is required to file an application

to renew with the ADHS on an annual basis, which must also include audited annual financial statements. While a Dispensary License may not be sold, transferred or otherwise conveyed, Dispensary License holders typically contract with third parties to provide various services related to the ongoing operation, maintenance and governance of its dispensary and/or cultivation facility so long as such contracts do not violate the requirements of the AMMA or the MMJ Program.

On December 6, 2012, Arizona’s first licensed medical marijuana dispensary opened in Glendale. In November 2020, the state of Arizona will include a ballot measure to be voted on for the legalization of adult-use cannabis.

In order to qualify to use medical marijuana under the AMMA, a patient is required to have a “debilitating medical condition.” Valid medical conditions include: HIV, cancer, glaucoma, immune deficiency syndrome, hepatitis C, Crohn’s disease, agitation of Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, cachexia/wasting syndrome, muscle spasms, nausea, seizures, severe and chronic pain or another chronic or debilitating condition.

In order for an applicant to receive a Dispensary Registration Certificate (a “Certificate”) they must: (i) fill out an application on the form proscribed by ADHS, (ii) submit the applying entity’s articles of incorporation and by-laws, (iii) submit fingerprints for each principal officer or board member of the applicant for a background check to exclude felonies, (iv) submit a business plan and policies and procedures for inventory control, security, patient education, and patient recordkeeping that are consistent with the AMMA and the Rules to ensure that the dispensary will operate in compliance and (v) designate an Arizona licensed physician as the Medical Director for the dispensary. Certificates are renewed annually so long as the dispensary is in good standing with ADHS and pays the renewal fee and submits an independent third-party financial audit.

Once an applicant has been issued a Certificate, they are allowed to establish one physical retail dispensary location, one cultivation location which is co-located at the dispensary’s retail site (if allowed by local zoning) and one additional off-site cultivation location. None of these sites can be operational, however, until the dispensary receives an approval to operate from ADHS for the applicable site. This approval to operate requires: (i) an application on the ADHS form, (ii) demonstration of compliance with local zoning regulations, (iii) a site plan and floor plan for the applicable property, and (iv) an in-person inspection by ADHS of the applicable location to ensure compliance with the Rules and consistency with the dispensary’s applicable policies and procedures.

On October 24, 2018, Cresco obtained a 100% ownership interest in Arizona Facilities Supply, LLC which includes a vertically integrated cultivation, processing and dispensary operation in Arizona.

The licenses in Arizona are renewed annually. Before expiry, licensees are required to submit a renewal application. While renewals are granted annually, there is no ultimate expiry after which no renewals are permitted. Additionally, in respect of the renewal process, provided that the requisite renewal fees are paid, the renewal application is submitted in a timely manner, and there are no material violations noted against the applicable license, Cresco would expect to receive the applicable renewed license in the ordinary course of business. While Cresco’s compliance controls have been developed to mitigate the risk of any material violations of a license arising, there is no assurance that Arizona Cannabis licenses will be renewed in the future in a timely manner. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations of Arizona Cannabis and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Voters in Arizona will decide this November on a statewide measure legalizing adult-use marijuana. The Arizona Secretary of State recently reported that the Smart and Safe Arizona Act gathered the required number of signatures from registered voters to qualify for inclusion on the ballot.

Nevada Operations

Medical marijuana use was legalized in Nevada by a ballot initiative in 2000. In November 2016, voters in Nevada passed an adult use marijuana measure to allow for the sale of recreational marijuana in the state. The first dispensaries to sell adult-use marijuana began sales in July 2017. The Nevada Department of Taxation (“DOT”) is the regulatory agency overseeing the medical and adult-use cannabis programs. Similar to California, cities and counties in Nevada are allowed to determine the number of local marijuana licenses they will issue.

All marijuana establishments must register with DOT. If applications contain all required information and after vetting by officers, establishments are issued a medical marijuana establishment registration certificate. In a local governmental jurisdiction that issues business licenses, the issuance by DOT of a medical marijuana establishment registration certificate is considered provisional until the local government has issued a business license for operation and the establishment is in compliance with all applicable local governmental ordinances. Final registration certificates are valid for a period of one year and are subject to annual renewals after required fees are paid and the business remains in good standing. The renewal periods serve as an update for DOT on the licensee’s status toward active licensure. It is important to note provisional licenses do not permit the operation of any commercial or medical cannabis activity. Only after a provisional licensee has gone through necessary state and local inspections, if applicable, and has received a final registration certificate from DOT may an entity engage in cannabis business operation.

On August 12, 2019, the Company settled its outstanding loan receivable with Lighthouse, which has cannabis operations in Nevada, through receipt of Lighthouse membership units approximating 1.2% ownership of the parent company. The remaining escrow balance was issued as a new secured convertible promissory note convertible, at the Company’s discretion, into additional membership units approximating 1% ownership of the parent company.

New York Operations

The state of New York’s medical cannabis program was introduced in July 2014 when Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the Compassionate Care Act, which legalized medical cannabis oils for patients with certain qualifying conditions. Under this program, five registered organizations (“ROs”) were licensed to dispense cannabis oil to patients, with the first sale to a patient completed in January 2016. In December 2016, the New York State Department of Health (“NYSDOH”) added chronic pain as a qualifying condition and in the month-and-a-half following the addition of chronic pain, the number of registered patients increased by 18%. In August 2017, the NYSDOH granted licenses to five additional registered organizations.

In November 2017, Governor Cuomo signed a bill to add PTSD as a qualifying condition, and, in July 2018, the NYSDOH added opioid replacement as a qualifying condition, meaning any condition for which an opioid could be prescribed is now a qualifying condition for medical cannabis. In August 2018, Governor Cuomo, prompted by a NYSDOH study which concluded the “positive effects” of cannabis legalization “outweigh the potential negative impacts”, appointed a group to draft a bill for regulating legal adult-use cannabis sales in New York. During Governor Cuomo’s January 2019 State of the State Address, he announced the proposal of the governmental agency, The Office of Cannabis Management. This agency would regulate and oversee the state’s medical marijuana program, adult-use program and hemp program. The executive director of this agency would have the authority to grant ROs currently registered and in good standing with the NYSDOH, the ability to be licensed to cultivate, process or sell adult-use cannabis and cannabis products.

Each RO license allows for the cultivation, processing, and dispensing of medical cannabis products. Each RO is permitted to open four dispensaries in NYSDOH-designated regions throughout the state, and one cultivation/processing facility. Permitted products include oil-based formulations (i.e., vaporizer cartridges, tinctures and capsules), and ground-flower sold in tamper-proof vessels. Each RO is required to cultivate and process all medical cannabis products they dispense; however, wholesale transactions are permitted with approval from the state and home delivery is now permitted.

All cultivation/processing and dispensing establishments must register with the NYSDOH pursuant to Public Health Law § 3365(9). Registrations issued by NYSDOH are valid for a two-year period. As embodied in New York Codes, Rules and Regulations § 1004.7, an application to renew such registrations must be filed with the NYSDOH between six and four months prior to the expiration date, must include information prepared in the manner and detail as the commissioner may require, and should be accompanied by application fees and registration fees. Applications completed in accordance with § 1004.7 would be expected to receive the applicable renewed license in a timely manner. While Cresco’s compliance controls have been developed to mitigate the risk of any material violations of a license arising, there is no assurance that New York cannabis licenses will be renewed in the future in a timely manner. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations of New York cannabis and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

On October 8, 2019, the Company closed the acquisition of GSC, the parent entity of Valley Ag, for consideration consistent of cash, deferred consideration, equity and contingent consideration based upon the achievement or occurrence of certain milestones or events, all totaling $129,574 thousand. Valley Ag is one of the ten holders of a vertically integrated license from NYSDOH allowing for the cultivation and processing of medical cannabis as well as the establishment of four (4) medical cannabis dispensaries in the state of New York. To date, Valley Ag has four (4) dispensaries and a processing facility open. Valley Ag has successfully renewed their initial licenses and all licenses are, as of the date hereof, active with the State of New York.

Through the aforementioned agreements and regulatory approval, Cresco now has a license for a cultivation and manufacturing facility within the state of New York, as well as four (4) dispensary locations strategically located across the state. These four (4) locations are branded as Sunnyside* dispensaries.

Massachusetts Operations

The Massachusetts medical cannabis market was established through “An Act for the Humanitarian Medical Use of Marijuana” in November 2012 when voters passed Ballot Question 3 “Massachusetts Medical Marijuana Initiative” with 63% of the vote. The first Massachusetts dispensary opened in June 2015 and by November 2016, Massachusetts voters legalized adult-use cannabis by passing ballot Question 4 – Legalize Marijuana with 54% of the vote. In July 2017, Governor Baker signed legislation that would lay the groundwork for the state’s adult-use market. The Cannabis Control Commission (the state’s regulatory body which creates regulations for both the medical and adult-use market) aimed to officially launch adult-use sales on July 1, 2018, but stumbling blocks such as a lack of licensed testing labs and disagreements between officials and businesses had slowed the rollout, as sales for adult-use cannabis officially began in November 2018.

The Cannabis Control Commission oversees the medical and adult-use cannabis programs. Each medical licensee must be vertically integrated and may have up to two locations. Licensed medical dispensaries are given priority in adult-use licensing. Adult-use cultivators will be grouped into 11 tiers of production (ranging from up to 5,000 square feet to no larger than 100,000 square feet) and regulators will move a licensee down to a lower tier if that licensee has not shown an ability to sell at least 70% of what it produced. Medical dispensaries that wish to add the ability to sell cannabis products to nonpatients will be required to reserve 35% of their inventory or the six-month average of their medical cannabis sales for medical cannabis patients. In order to achieve an adult-use license, a prospective licensee must first sign a “Host Community Agreement” with the town in which it wishes to locate. Roughly two-thirds of municipalities in the state have a ban or moratorium in place that prohibits cannabis businesses from operating within their jurisdiction. In both the medical and adult-use markets, extracted oils, edibles, and flower products are permitted, as well as wholesaling.

On or about November 19, 2018, Cresco entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the shares and membership interests, as applicable, of HHH and an affiliated real estate entity for consideration consisting of cash and the assumption of certain indebtedness. HHH holds a final certificate of registration from the State of Massachusetts Department of Health that allows for cultivation, manufacturing and processing, and the establishment and operation of a medical cannabis dispensary in Fall River, Massachusetts. The final certificate of registration allows HHH the ability to apply for up to two additional such licenses. HHH holds a final license from the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission that allows for cultivation, manufacturing and processing, and the establishment and operation of an adult-use cannabis dispensary in Fall River, Massachusetts. On October 1, 2019, Cresco Labs, LLC acquired HHH via certain agreements giving it operational control before cash consideration was settled. In August 2019, HHH entered into a host community agreement with the municipality of Fall River to allow for the siting of an adult-use cannabis dispensary. On February 7, 2020, the Company announced the legal close of the acquisition and cash funding of $27,500 thousand. The closing coincided with state approval allowing recreational cannabis sales at the Company’s Fall River dispensary.

Registration certificates are valid for a period of one year and are subject to annual renewals after required fees are paid and the business remains in good standing. Renewal requests are typically communicated through email from the Massachusetts Cannabis Commission and include a renewal form. While Cresco’s compliance controls have been developed to mitigate the risk of any material violations of a license arising, there is no assurance that Massachusetts cannabis licenses will be renewed in the future in a timely manner. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations of Massachusetts cannabis and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

One July 1, 2020, the Company announced that it had completed the sale of its Falls River, MA property to IIP. The sale was for consideration equal to approximately $29,000 thousand, which includes $21,000 thousand in funding for additional tenant improvements. Concurrent with the closing of the sale, the Company entered into a long-term, triple-net lease agreement with IIP and will continue to operate the property as a licensed cannabis cultivation, processing and dispensing facility upon completion of redevelopment. The property represents approximately 50,000 square feet of industrial space in aggregate.

Michigan Operations

In November 2008, Michigan residents approved the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act (the “MMMA”) to provide a legal framework for a safe and effective medical marijuana program. In September 2016, the Michigan Senate passed the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act (the “MMFLA”) and the Marihuana Tracking Act (the “MTA” and together with the MMMA and the MMFLA, the “Michigan Cannabis Regulations”) to provide a comprehensive licensing and tracking scheme, respectively, for the medical marijuana program. Additionally, the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs and its licensing board (“LARA”) has supplemented the Michigan Cannabis Regulations with “Emergency Rules” to further clarify the regulatory landscape surrounding the medical marijuana program. LARA is the main regulatory authority for the licensing of marijuana businesses.

Under the MMFLA, LARA administrates five types of “state operating licenses” for medical marijuana businesses: (a) a “grower” license, (b) a “processor” license, (c) a “secure transporter” license, (d) a “provisioning center” license and (e) a “safety compliance facility” license. There are no stated limits on the number of licenses that can be made available on a state level; however, LARA has discretion over the approval of applications and municipalities can pass additional restrictions.

On November 6, 2018, Michigan voters approved Proposal 1, to make marijuana legal under state and local law for adults 21 years of age or older and to control the commercial production and distribution of marijuana under a system that licenses, regulates, and taxes the businesses involved. The act will be known as the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act. According to Proposal 1, LARA is required to start accepting applications for retail (recreational) dispensaries within 12 months of the measure’s effective date.

On March 25, 2019, the Company announced that its affiliate had completed the most comprehensive portion of Michigan’s application process, being pre-qualified for a cultivation and processing license by the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Medical Marihuana Licensing Board. The pre-qualification represents the authorization of the entity to move forward with the licensing process for its intended facilities.

On November 13, 2019, the state’s Marijuana Regulatory Agency announced any existing medically licensed businesses would be allowed to sell recreational-use cannabis beginning December 1, 2019. On March 5, 2020, the Company’s affiliate was issued a medical processing license to begin manufacturing and processing flower into edible medical marijuana products and/or medical marijuana-infused products. It is estimated that Michigan has over 280,000 medical marijuana patients, which represents the second largest medical marijuana patient base in the United States.

On March 16, 2020, the Company’s affiliate received pre-qualification to operate in the adult-use market and received an adult-use processor license on June 22, 2020. All Michigan marijuana licenses are renewed annually through the Marijuana Regulatory Agency after the required fees are paid and the business remains in good standing. In addition, a sworn statement is required that states that the business is in good standing and will uphold a continuing reporting duty. The fees are to be determined by the amount of gross weight of marijuana product transferred during the past year. While Cresco’s compliance controls have been developed to mitigate the risk of any material violations of a license arising, there is no assurance that Michigan cannabis licenses will be renewed in the future in a timely manner. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations of Michigan cannabis and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

On April 22, 2020, Cresco Michigan and related parties of the Company executed an amended and restated operating agreement which increased Cresco’s related parties’ ownership from 50% to 85% in exchange for a capital commitment of $25,000 thousand. According to IFRS 10, an investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Provisions contained in the operating agreement entitle related parties of the Company to a majority of profit and gives the Company control of Cresco Michigan and rights and exposure to variable returns. The Company has the right to direct all the relevant activities of and has the full decision-making power over Cresco Michigan.

One April 23, 2020, the Company announced that it had completed the sale of its Marshall, MI property to IIP. The previously announced sale was for consideration equal to approximately $16,000 thousand, which included $11,000 thousand in funding for tenant improvements. Concurrent with the closing of the sale, Cresco Labs entered into a long-term, triple-net lease agreement with IIP and will continue to operate the property as a licensed cannabis cultivation and processing facility upon completion of redevelopment. The property represents approximately 100,000 square feet of industrial space in aggregate. This sale marks Cresco’s fifth completed sale-and-leaseback transaction, the fourth with IIP.

Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenue

We derive the majority of our revenue from wholesale of cannabis products to dispensary locations which, for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, represents approximately 58% of our revenue. Revenue from company-owned retail dispensary locations, for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 represents the remaining 42%. Retail revenue includes medical and adult-use cannabis sales in the United States along with nicotine vape sales in Canada.

Gross Profit

Gross profit is calculated as revenue less cost of sales – production costs, which includes cultivation costs of biological assets; realized changes in fair value of inventory sold; and unrealized gain (loss) on changes in fair value of biological assets. Cost of sales – production costs includes the direct costs attributable to the production of the products sold and is comprised of the following:

 

   

Direct labor costs: These expenses include all salaries, benefits, and taxes for all employees at the facility.

 

   

Direct supplies: The total direct material cost for maintenance of the plants, the supplies and nutrients, and the production expenses and equipment used to process medical marijuana.

 

   

Facility expenses: The facility expense for the cultivation operations is the cost for the facility, utilities, property taxes, maintenance, and costs associated with monitoring the security systems.

 

   

Other operating expenses: These expenses include all costs associated with the facility itself including: insurance, community outreach programs, professional services, uniforms, employee training programs, tracking and inventory management systems, product testing, distribution, business development, and information technology and license renewal fees.

Cultivation costs of biological assets are comprised of cannabis plant costs and are immediately expensed in cost of sales – production costs in the period in which they are incurred.

In addition to market fluctuations, cannabis costs are affected by various state regulations that limit the sourcing and procurement of cannabis products. The changes in regulatory environments may create fluctuations in gross profit over comparative periods.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)

SG&A expenses consist mainly of salary and benefits costs of executive and back office staff, retail personnel and ancillary costs, consulting and professional fees such as legal and accounting, office, advertising and marketing, excise taxes, travel and entertainment and share-based compensation. Selling costs generally correlate to revenue. As a percentage of sales, we expect SG&A costs to decrease as our business continues to grow. The decrease is expected to be driven primarily by efficiencies associated with scaling the business.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, SG&A was comprised of the following:

Income Taxes

The Company, which is a Canadian corporation, is classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a United States corporation under Section 7874 of the Code. The Company is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates and, consequently, income tax expense is a function of the allocation of taxable income by jurisdiction and the various activities that impact the timing of taxable events. As the Company operates in the legal cannabis industry, the Company is subject to the limits of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 280E under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E and a higher effective tax rate than most industries.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

Operational gross profit, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-IFRS measures and do not have standardized definitions under IFRS. The following information provides reconciliations of the supplemental non-IFRS financial measures, presented herein to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS. The Company has provided the non-IFRS financial measures, which are not calculated or presented in accordance with IFRS, as supplemental information and in addition to the financial measures that are calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These supplemental non-IFRS financial measures are presented because management has evaluated the financial results both including and excluding the adjusted items and believe that the supplemental non-IFRS financial measures presented provide additional perspective and insights when analyzing the core operating performance of the business. These supplemental non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should only be considered in conjunction with, the IFRS financial measures presented herein.

SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Company reports results of operations of its affiliates from the date that control commences, either through the purchase of the business, through a management agreement or other arrangements which grant such control.

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $94,256 thousand, an increase of $64,366 thousand, or 215%, compared to revenue of $29,890 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in revenue was driven by the acquisitions of Origin House, Valley Ag and HHH, as well as continued growth in the states where the Company operates, primarily attributable to increased cultivation capacity and states with recently adopted adult-use laws such as Illinois.

Cost of Sales – Production Costs, Gross Profit, and Operational Gross Profit (non-IFRS)

Cost of sales – production costs for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $60,835 thousand, an increase of $43,690 thousand compared to cost of sales – production costs of $17,145 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to the Origin House, Valley Ag and HHH acquisitions, increased cultivation capacity in Illinois and Pennsylvania, and other organic growth. This also included net cultivation costs which were immediately expensed under the Company’s accounting policy for biological assets of $3,951 thousand and $912 thousand in the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Gross profit increased primarily due to the increase in revenue from the prior-year quarter. Operational gross profit for the second quarter of 2020, a non-IFRS measure which excludes the impact of biological assets accounting, cultivation costs immediately expensed, expansion, relaunch and rebranding costs, COVID-19 related expenses and the fair value mark-up for acquired inventory, as discussed above, was $44,206 thousand, compared to an operational gross profit of $14,379 thousand for the prior year. Operational gross profit reflects revenue less costs related to products sold in the period. The increase of $29,827 thousand from the prior year was primarily driven by the addition of Origin House, Valley Ag and HHH, greater scale in the Company’s established Illinois and Pennsylvania markets, and other organic growth. Operational gross profit percentage of approximately 47% was lower when compared with the prior year due to increased operating costs related to expansion of certain of its cultivation facilities. The Company expects margin expansion as these operations scale and it receives the full benefit of its capacity expansions in the second half of 2020.

Total Expenses

Total expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were $50,544 thousand, an increase of $29,945 thousand compared to total expenses of $20,599 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in total expenses was attributable to the acquisition of Origin House, Valley Ag, and HHH, acquisition and other non-core costs, depreciation and amortization associated with facilities and licensing in new markets, as well as significant investments in our team and operational infrastructure to drive strategic initiatives that better position the Company for future growth. Total expenses as a percentage of revenue are expected to decline as the Company gains efficiencies with the growth of the business.

Total Other (Expense) Income

Total other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $10,313 thousand, a change of $7,641 thousand compared to other expense of $2,672 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in total other expense was primarily due to higher interest expense resulting from the loan agreements the Company entered and assumed during 2020. Further, interest expense associated with leases was higher in the current period as a result of newly entered agreements, including sale leasebacks of previously owned facilities, in 2020. See Notes 14 and 17 in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 for more information.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $13,312 thousand compared to $5,586 thousand in the prior period. The change was due to higher gross profit and increased amounts of permanently nondeductible expenses under Section 280E related to the expansion of the Company’s business operations through organic growth and acquisitions.

Net Loss and Adjusted EBITDA (non-IFRS)

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $4,700 thousand, compared to $3,918 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Higher gross profit in the current period, driven by increased revenue and unrealized gains on the fair value of biological assets, was more than offset by higher operating expenses and current period income tax expense.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS measure which excludes depreciation and amortization, net interest expense, income taxes, other expense, share-based compensation, acquisition and other non-core costs, gain from investment in associate, cultivation costs immediately expensed, expansion, relaunch and rebranding costs, COVID-19 related expenses and the fair value mark-up on acquired inventory, was $52,509 thousand and $14,462 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Excluding the impact of biological assets, adjusted EBITDA was $16,461 thousand and $2,268 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in adjusted EBITDA is due to higher operational gross profit partially offset by higher operating expenses.

Revenue

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $160,636 thousand, an increase of $109,691 thousand, or 215%, compared to revenue of $50,945 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in revenue was driven by the acquisitions of Origin House, Valley Ag and HHH as well as continued growth in the states where the Company operates, primarily attributable to increased cultivation capacity and states with recently adopted adult-use laws such as Illinois.

Cost of Sales – Production Costs, Gross Profit, and Operational Gross Profit (non-IFRS)

Cost of sales – production costs for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $107,035 thousand, an increase of $75,176 thousand compared to cost of sales – production costs of $31,859 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to the Origin House, Valley Ag and HHH acquisitions, increased cultivation capacity in Illinois and Pennsylvania, and other organic growth. This also included net cultivation costs which were immediately expensed under the Company’s accounting policy for biological assets of $10,001 thousand and $3,955 thousand in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Gross profit increased primarily due to the increase in revenue from the prior-year. Operational gross profit for the first half of 2020, a non-IFRS measure which excludes the impact of biological assets accounting, cultivation costs immediately expensed, expansion, relaunch and rebranding costs, COVID-19 related expenses and the fair value mark-up for acquired inventory, as discussed above, was $76,206 thousand, compared to an operational gross profit of $23,763 thousand for the prior year. Operational gross profit reflects revenue less costs related to products sold in the period. The increase of $52,443 thousand from the prior year was primarily driven by the addition of Origin House, Valley Ag and HHH, greater scale in the Company’s established Illinois and Pennsylvania markets, and other organic growth. Operational gross profit percentage of approximately 47% was higher when compared with the prior year, as the benefit of operational efficiencies in the Company’s more established markets exceeded the impact of emerging and recently acquired business, where the Company is focused on footprint expansion and relaunching Cresco-branded products, and increased operating costs related to expansion of certain of its cultivation facilities. The Company expects margin expansion as these operations scale and it receives the full benefit of its capacity expansions in the second half of 2020.

Total Expenses

Total expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $101,816 thousand, an increase of $63,471 thousand compared to total expenses of $38,345 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in total expenses was attributable to the acquisition of Origin House, Valley Ag, and HHH, acquisition and other non-core costs, depreciation and amortization associated with facilities and licensing in new markets, as well as significant investments in our personnel and operational infrastructure to drive strategic initiatives that better position the Company for future growth. Total expenses as a percentage of revenue are expected to decline as the Company gains efficiencies with the growth of the business.

Total Other (Expense) Income

Total other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $3,150 thousand, a decrease of $39 thousand compared to other expense of $3,189 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in total other expense was primarily due to an increase in unrealized gains recognized on financial instruments carried at fair value due to changes in the Company’s share price and other market factors. The increase in unrealized gains was offset by higher interest expense resulting from the loan agreements the Company entered and assumed during the period as well as newly entered lease agreements, including sale leasebacks of previously owned facilities, in 2020. See Notes 14, 17, and 20 in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 for more information.

 

25


Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $16,774 thousand compared to $5,549 thousand in the prior period. The change was due to higher gross profit and increased amounts of permanently nondeductible expenses under Section 280E related to the expansion of the Company’s business operations through organic growth and acquisitions.

Net Loss and Adjusted EBITDA (non-IFRS)

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $18,131 thousand, compared to $11,492 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Higher gross profit in the current year, generated by increased revenue and unrealized gains on fair value of biological assets, was more than offset by higher operating expenses and current period income tax expense.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS measure which excludes depreciation and amortization, net interest expense, income taxes, other income and expense, share-based compensation, acquisition and other non-core costs, loss or gain from investment in associate, cultivation costs immediately expensed, expansion, relaunch and rebranding costs, COVID-19 related expenses and the fair value mark-up on acquired inventory, was $69,643 thousand and $18,636 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Excluding the impact of biological assets, adjusted EBITDA was $19,635 thousand and $2,131 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in adjusted EBITDA is due to higher operational gross profit partially offset by higher operating expense.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

As of June 30, 2020, the Company held $70,994 thousand in cash and cash equivalents, $2,874 thousand in restricted cash and $93,330 thousand of working capital compared to December 31, 2019, where we held $49,102 thousand in cash and cash equivalents, $5,050 thousand in restricted cash and $9,169 thousand of working capital. The increase of $84,161 thousand in working capital was primarily due to an increase in inventory, biological assets and cash and cash equivalents. A decrease in deferred consideration, contingent consideration and other payables was offset by increased short term borrowings between periods.

We expect that our cash on hand and cash flows from operations, along with private and/or public financing, will be adequate to meet our capital requirements and operational needs for the next 12 months.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $49,982 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $37,504 thousand compared to net cash used in operating activities of $12,478 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to timing of working capital requirements in the current period driven by increased costs associated with our expansion in new and existing markets as well as higher non-core, acquisition and integration-related costs.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $23,753 thousand for the six months June 30, 2020, a decrease of cash used of $28,593 thousand compared to $52,346 thousand used in investing for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to proceeds received from sale and leaseback transactions, which partially offset an increase in purchase of property and equipment as the Company continues to expand its operations.

 

26


Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $92,793 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $97,303 thousand compared to $4,510 thousand of cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt during the period.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s financial instruments are held at amortized cost (adjusted for impairments or expected credit losses, as applicable) or fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). The carrying values of financial instruments held at amortized cost approximate their fair values as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 due to their nature and relatively short maturity date. Financial assets and liabilities with embedded derivative features are carried at FVTPL.

Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs to fair value measurements. The three levels of hierarchy are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

 

29


Unless otherwise noted, the Company considers all financial instruments measured at FVTPL to be Level 1 instruments.

There have been no transfers between fair value levels valuing these assets during the year.

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Financial Risk Management

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board mitigates these risks by assessing, monitoring and approving the Company’s risk management processes:

 

  i.

Credit and Banking Risk

Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The maximum credit exposure at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and loans receivable. The Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to its customers or loan counterparties, based primarily on cannabis industry growth in our key markets and the low interest rate environment. Although all deposited cash is placed with U.S. financial institutions in good standing with regulatory authorities, changes in U.S. federal banking laws related to the deposit and holding of funds derived from activities related to the cannabis industry have passed the House of Representatives, but has not yet been voted on within the Senate. Given that current U.S. federal law provides that the production and possession of cannabis is illegal, there is a strong argument that banks cannot accept and deposit funds from businesses involved with the cannabis industry.

The novel coronavirus or COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 12, 2020 and has caused significant economic uncertainty and consequently it is difficult to reliably measure the potential impact of this uncertainty on our future financial results.

 

30


  ii.

Asset Forfeiture Risk

Because the cannabis industry remains illegal under U.S. federal law, any property owned by participants in the cannabis industry which are either used in the course of conducting such business, or are the proceeds of such business, could be subject to seizure by law enforcement and subsequent civil asset forfeiture. Even if the owner of the property were never charged with a crime, the property in question could still be seized and subject to an administrative proceeding by which, with minimal due process, it could be subject to forfeiture.

 

  iii.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due. In December 2019, the Company entered into the At-the-market Program for subordinated voting shares in the Company to be issued at the discretion of Management to raise up to CAD$55,000 thousand to fund corporate operations. In February 2020, the Company entered into a non-brokered credit agreement for a senior secured term loan with an initial principal balance of $100,000 thousand. The Company will continue to raise capital as needed to fund operations and expansion. The maturity analysis for lease obligations is located at Note 7 of the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

 

  iv.

Market Risk

a. Currency Risk

The operating results and financial position of the Company are reported in U.S. dollars. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are denominated primarily in U.S. dollars. However, from time to time some of the Company’s financial transactions are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The results of the Company’s operations are subject to currency transaction and translation risks. The Company record a $178 thousand foreign exchange gain and a $422 thousand foreign exchange loss during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The Company recorded an immaterial amount of foreign exchange losses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.

b. Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company calculates an incremental borrowing rate to use in the valuation of its financial instruments. The Company’s effective interest rates for its Term Loan range from 16.1% to 17.0% and the stated interest rate ranges from 12.7% to 13.2% based on the term elected by the lender. The Company’s weighted average effective interest rate for its Opaskwayak Cree Nation loan is 27.14% and its stated interest rate is 10%. See Note 14 of the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for further information.

c. Price Risk

Price risk is the risk of variability in fair value due to movements in equity or market prices. The Company is subject to price risk related to derivative liabilities, contingent consideration and liability classified restricted stock units that are valued based on the Company’s own stock price. An increase or decrease in stock price by 10% would result in an associated increase or decrease in fair value and total other expense, net of $3,119 thousand.

 

31


d. Tax Risk

Tax risk is the risk of changes in the tax environment that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. Currently, state licensed marijuana businesses are assessed a comparatively high effective federal tax rate due to section 280E, which bars businesses from deducting all expenses except their cost of sales when calculating federal tax liability. Any increase in tax levies resulting from additional tax measures may have a further adverse effect on the operations of the Company, while any decrease in such tax levies will be beneficial to future operations. See Note 24 of the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the Company’s disclosure of uncertain tax positions.

e. Regulatory Risk

Regulatory risk pertains to the risk that the Company’s business objectives are contingent, in part, upon the compliance of regulatory requirements. Due to the nature of the industry, the Company recognizes that regulatory requirements are more stringent and punitive in nature. Any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain regulatory approvals can significantly delay operational and product development and can have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operation and financial condition.

The Company is cognizant of the advent of regulatory changes occurring in the cannabis industry on the city, state and national levels. Although regulatory outlook on the cannabis industry has been moving in a positive trend, the Company is aware that unforeseen regulatory changes can have a material impact on the goals and operations of the business as a whole.

Third consecutive quarter with over 40% revenue growth

CHICAGO—(BUSINESS WIRE)—November 18, 2020—Cresco Labs Inc. (CSE: CL) (OTCQX: CRLBF) (FSE: 6CQ) (“Cresco Labs” or the “Company”), one of the largest vertically integrated multi-state cannabis operators in the United States, today released its unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020. All financial information presented in this release is in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted.

Management Commentary

“Cresco Labs entered the third quarter firing on all cylinders achieving record levels of revenue, profitability, and cash flow. We remain the number one operator in the industry focused on, and delivering results in, the wholesale distribution of branded products. Our retail is outperforming, and we are generating substantial operating leverage,” said Charles Bachtell, Co-founder and CEO of Cresco Labs. “Comparing Q1 to Q3, we increased revenue by $87 million while keeping SG&A flat. The investments we made to support growth are paying off, and as a result our profitability has grown dollar for dollar with gross profit. Because of the decisions we’ve made, the changes we’ve managed through and the hard work devoted by our team over the last 12 months, Cresco Labs has substantiated itself within the very top tier of the industry and confirmed the value that is driven by our differentiated strategy. This is a unique story of strategic breadth, depth and execution. As we look toward our next phase of growth, it’s rinse and repeat – the playbook will be applied to more states and, again, we will achieve meaningful, material market positions.”

Third Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights

Operating Results

 

   

Revenue for the third quarter of 2020 was $153.3 million, an absolute increase of over $59.0 million or a 63% increase over Q2’20 revenue. Wholesale growth was driven by an increase in harvests from expanded capacity in Illinois and Pennsylvania with strong growth in California. Retail growth was driven by strong sequential same-store growth and two new store openings in Illinois.


   

Operational Gross Profit1 as a Percentage of Revenue was 53% in the quarter as compared to 47% in the prior quarter driven by increased efficiency in our expanded Illinois and Pennsylvania facilities.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA1 was $46.4 million, an increase of 182% sequentially driven primarily from higher revenue, increased operational gross profit across our largest markets and strong SG&A control which dropped dramatically as a percentage of revenue.

 

   

Net Income2 was $4.9 million, which includes unrealized gains and losses on mark-to-market instruments that fluctuate until obligations are settled, changes in fair value of biological assets, interest expense and tax expense.

 

   

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities was $17.8 million, compared to $9.9 million used in Q2. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was driven by increased operating leverage across the business as the Company scales.

Shares Outstanding

Total shares on a fully converted basis were 380,035,735 as of September 30, 2020.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Cresco Labs Inc. (“Cresco” or the “Company”), formerly known as Randsburg International Gold Corp. was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia under the Company Act (British Columbia) on July 6, 1990. On December 30, 1997, the Company changed its name from Randsburg Gold Corporation to Randsburg International Gold Corp. (“Randsburg”) and consolidated its common shares on a five old for one new basis.

On November 30, 2018, in connection with the reverse takeover (the “Transaction”), the Company (i) consolidated its outstanding Randsburg Common Shares on an 812.63 old for one (1) new basis, and (ii) filed an alteration to its Notice of Articles with the British Columbia Registrar of Companies to change its name from Randsburg to Cresco Labs Inc. and to amend the rights and restrictions of its existing classes of common shares, redesignate such classes as the class of Subordinate Voting Shares (“SVS”) and create the classes of Proportionate Voting Shares (“PVS”), and Super Voting Shares (“MVS”).

Pursuant to the Transaction, among the Company (then Randsburg) and Cresco Labs, LLC (“Cresco Labs”), a series of transactions was completed on November 30, 2018 resulting in a reorganization of Cresco Labs and Randsburg and pursuant to which Randsburg became the indirect parent and sole voting unitholder of Cresco. The transaction constituted a reverse takeover of Randsburg by Cresco Labs under applicable securities laws. Cresco Labs was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of Illinois on October 8, 2013 and is governed by the Pre-Combination LLC Agreement. The Pre-Combination LLC Agreement was further amended and restated in connection with the completion of the Transaction.

On December 3, 2018, the Company began trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the ticker symbol “CL.” On March 6, 2019, Cresco shares were approved to be quoted on the Over-the-Counter Market (“OTC”) and is traded under the ticker symbol “CRLBF.” On August 13, 2019, the Company began trading its Euro-dominated shares on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (“FSE”) and is trading under the symbol “6CQ.”

The Company is licensed to cultivate, manufacture and sell retail and medical cannabis as well as retail and medical cannabis products in certain states. The Company also operates a retail, wholesale and online nicotine vape business in Canada. The Company operates in and/or has ownership interests in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, California, Maryland, Nevada, Arizona, New York, Massachusetts, Michigan and Canada, pursuant to the Illinois Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act and the Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act, the Pennsylvania Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Act, the Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program, the California Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act, the Maryland Medical Marijuana Act, the Nevada Revised Statutes section 453A, the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act, the New York Compassionate Care Act, the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission, the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act and the Canada Tobacco and Vaping Products Act, respectively.

The Company’s head office is located at Suite 110, 400 W Erie St, Chicago, IL 60654 and the registered office is located at Suite 2200, 1055 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 2E9.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

  (a)

Basis of Preparation

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) in accordance with International Accounting Standards 34 Interim Financial Reporting, which was adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

Cresco Labs Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

(Unaudited)

 

 

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with consistently applied accounting policies, critical estimates, and methods described in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all information and disclosures required in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 18, 2020.

 

  (b)

Basis of Measurement

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, except for biological assets which are measured at fair value less cost to sell; certain investments in associates, which are accounted for under the equity method; loans receivable measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”); and certain investments, derivative instruments, and contingent consideration, which are recorded at fair value. Historical cost is generally based upon the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets and the contractual obligation for liabilities.

Management has applied judgment in concluding that there remain no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast doubt upon the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, which includes judgment of the effects of subsequent events, if applicable (see Note 25); and the Company’s ability to realize its assets and settle its obligations in the normal course of operations for at least twelve months from the date of the financial statements.

 

  (c)

Functional and Presentation Currency

The Company’s functional currency and that of the majority of its subsidiaries, as determined by management, is the United States (“U.S.”) dollar. The Company’s presentation currency is the U.S. dollar. As such, the accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. All references to “C$” refer to Canadian dollars. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are re-measured into the functional currency using period-end exchange rates. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in Other (expense) income, net in the unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Assets and liabilities of foreign operations having a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date; revenues and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions during the period. Gains or losses on translation of foreign subsidiaries and net investments in foreign operations are included in other comprehensive loss.

 

  (d)

Basis of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries with intercompany balances and transactions eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are those entities over which the Company has the power over the investee, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. The following are Cresco’s wholly owned or effectively controlled subsidiaries and entities over which the Company has control as of September 30, 2020:

condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position, and the share of income (loss) attributable to NCI is shown as a component of net loss in the unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations and in the unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Changes in the parent company’s ownership that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.

 

  (e)

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are recorded at cost, less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date or date of consolidation/control. Amortization of definite-lived intangible assets is recorded on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which do not exceed the contractual period, if any, over the following terms:

 

Market Related Intangibles

     12 – 18 months  

Customer Relationships

     7 – 19 years  

Non-Compete Agreements

     4 – 5 years  

Internally Developed Software

     10 years  

Trade Names

     10 years  

Permit Application Fees

     1 – 2 years  

The estimated useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each year end, and any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively. Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization. The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of licenses, which, for valuation purposes, represent the future benefits associated with the Company’s cultivation, processing, and dispensary licenses. Absent such license intangibles, the Company cannot continue as a going concern and as such, there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which these assets are expected to generate future cash inflows to the Company.

 

  (f)

Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates, and Assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements under IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions about the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities. Estimates and related assumptions are based on historical experience and other relevant factors. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis for reasonableness and relevancy. Where revisions are required, they are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised for the current as well as future periods that are affected.

Significant judgments, estimates, and assumptions within these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, unless stated herein, are consistent with the significant judgments, estimates, and assumptions applied within the annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The Company does not believe any recently issued, but not yet effective IFRS standards that have been issued by the IASB will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

BIOLOGICAL ASSETS

The Company’s biological assets consist of cannabis plants. The changes in the carrying value of biological assets to September 30, 2020 from December 31, 2019, consisted of the following:

 

($ in thousands)       

Biological assets at January 1, 2020

   $ 31,791  

Biological assets acquired (Note 13)

     2,002  

Transferred to inventory upon harvest

     (175,070

Changes in fair value of biological assets

     194,407  
  

 

 

 

Biological assets at September 30, 2020

   $ 53,130  
  

 

 

 

Biological assets are measured at fair value less costs to sell until harvest. All production costs related to biological assets are expensed as incurred. The fair value measurements for biological assets have been categorized as Level 3 fair values based on the inputs to the valuation technique used. The fair value was determined using an expected cash flow model which assumes the biological assets at the balance sheet date will grow to maturity, be harvested and converted into finished goods inventory and sold in the retail and medical cannabis market.

This model utilizes the following significant assumptions:

 

Inputs and assumptions

  

Calculation method

  

Effect changes of unobservable inputs
has on fair value

Selling price per gram, less cost to sell    Based on observable market data or calculated wholesale prices with reasonable margins.    An increase in selling price per gram would increase the fair value of biological assets.
Attrition rate    Based on weighted average number of plants lost during each stage of production.    An increase in attrition rate would result in a decrease to the fair value of biological assets.
Average yield per plant    Based on the average number of grams of dried cannabis inventory expected to be harvested from each cannabis plant.    An increase to the average yield per plant would result in an increase to the fair value of biological assets.
Cumulative stage of completion in the production process    Based on an average number of days in production over a total average grow cycle of between 12 and 18 weeks.    An increase to the average stage of completion of the plants would result in an increase to the fair value of biological assets.

The Company’s estimates are, by their nature, subject to change and differences from the above assumptions will be reflected in the unrealized gain or loss on changes in fair value of biological assets in future periods.

The Company estimates the harvest yields for cannabis at various stages of growth. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, it was expected that the Company’s biological assets would yield approximately 21.0 million and 13.1 million grams, respectively.

The Company has quantified the sensitivity of the inputs in relation to biological assets as of September 30, 2020 and 2019 and expects the following effect on fair value as shown in the table below:

The fair value of stock options granted under the Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following range of assumptions at the time of the grant:

 

     September 30,
2020

Risk-free annual interest rate

   0.63% to 1.79%

Expected annual dividend yield

   0%

Expected stock price volatility

   65% to 81%

Expected life of stock options

   5 to 7 years

Forfeiture rate

   5% to 15%

Fair value at grant date

   $ 1.84 to $3.75

Stock price at grant date

   $2.99 to $6.00

Exercise price range

   $2.99 to $6.55

Volatility was estimated by using the average historical volatility of comparable companies from a representative peer group of publicly traded companies. An increase in volatility would result in an increase in fair value at grant date. The expected life in years represents the period of time that options issued are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on U.S. treasury bills with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the weighted-average fair value of stock options granted was $3.75 and $2.66 per option, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the weighted-average fair value of stock options granted was $5.71 and $4.08 per option, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, stock options outstanding have a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 8.4 years.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued 0.6 million replacement options with a weighted average exercise price of $4.24 per option in connection with the Origin House acquisition. The replacement options have expiration dates ranging between October 2022 and August 2028. As of September 30, 2020, 0.5 million options with a weighted average exercise price of $4.65 per option are exercisable.

Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”)

During 2019, the Company established an RSU program to provide employees an additional avenue to participate in the successes of the Company. The fair value of RSUs granted was determined by the fair value of the Company’s share price on the date of grant. A number of RSUs granted have the ability to settle in cash. These awards have been determined to be liability-classified awards and are required to be marked-to-market as of the end of each reporting period. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $32 thousand and $0.3 million, respectively, in Deferred consideration, contingent consideration and other payables on the unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position related to these awards.

Liability classified as of September 30, 2020

     7,813      $ 4.11  

Of the liability classified awards above, 8 thousand awards vested in July 2020 pending issuance into shares. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued 3.4 million replacement RSUs with a weighted average fair value of $5.96 per share in connection with the Origin House acquisition. As a result of the acquisition, the vesting of the replacement RSUs was accelerated, with Canadian participants having the option to defer settlement. As such, there is no post-acquisition compensation expense required for these awards.    

Deferred Share Awards

In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued 1.6 million replacement deferred share awards in connection with the Origin House acquisition. The awards have a fair value of $5.96 per share, which is based on the Company’s share price as of the acquisition date. The award issuances were deferred through September and October 2020 as part of Origin House’s acquisition of RVR Distribution in 2018. Awards are considered to be fully vested as of the acquisition date and therefore require no post-acquisition compensation expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, 1.1 million shares settled into share capital. The remaining 0.5 million shares are pending issuance into shares as of September 30, 2020.

Expense Attribution

The Company recorded compensation expense for option awards in the amount of $2.8 million and $5.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company expensed $2.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively, to Selling, general and administrative expenses, with the remainder in Cost of sales – production costs and ending inventory.    

The Company recorded compensation expense for option awards in the amount of $10.8 million and $12.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company expensed $10.6 million and $9.8 million, respectively, to Selling, general and administrative expenses, with the remainder in Cost of sales – production costs and ending inventory.

Under IFRS 3, the Company will retrospectively adjust the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of the acquisition date. During the measurement period, the Company will also recognize additional assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date. The measurement period ends as soon as the Company receives the information it was seeking about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date or learns that more information is not obtainable. However, the measurement period shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company updated its valuation of Origin House intangible assets acquired, which resulted in an increase of $9.2 million to the acquisition date value of intangible assets and an associated increase of $2.8 million to the acquisition date value of the deferred tax liability, resulting in

an offsetting reduction in goodwill. The Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and the above purchase price allocation schedule have been retrospectively adjusted for this measurement period adjustment. The purchase price allocation for the Origin House transaction is substantially complete, with the exception of certain amounts related to income taxes.

Origin House

On January 8, 2020, the Company announced that it had closed its acquisition of 100% of the membership interests of Origin House. As a result of this acquisition, the Company now holds additional licenses to cultivate and process medical and adult-use marijuana and new licenses to distribute medical and adult-use cannabis in the State of California. Additionally, the Company now holds licenses to operate a nicotine vape business in Canada with retail, online and wholesale revenues, as well as franchise locations.

Total consideration for the acquisition was $428.2 million and consisted of 66.5 million SVS issued as of the acquisition date, valued at $396.6 million, and 5.7 million replacement awards, valued at $31.7 million, which is comprised of 3.4 million replacement RSUs, 1.6 million deferred share awards and 0.6 million replacement options. The Company recorded an increase of $36 thousand and $44 thousand of post- acquisition share-based compensation expense related to the replacement options for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. See Note 12 for additional details.

As part of the acquisition, the Company recorded reserves of $0.1 million for potential payments contingent on future events. The matter was settled during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and is recorded within Accounts payable and other accrued expenses.

The Company calculated, on a pro forma basis, the combined results of the acquired entity as if the Origin House acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2020. These pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of either the actual consolidated results had the acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2020 or of the future consolidated operating results.

Total pro forma Revenue and Net loss for the combined company for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $314.6 million and $13.6 million, respectively.

Contributed revenue and Net loss from the Origin House acquisition for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $28.4 million and $6.1 million, respectively, and $61.7 million and $24.8 million, respectively for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Since the first quarter of 2019, the Company has recorded transaction costs of $5.5 million in connection with the Origin House acquisition as Selling, general and administrative expenses in the unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Decreases in deferred consideration between December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020 are due to fair value adjustments and payments of deferred consideration related to acquisitions of MedMar, HHH and Valley Ag.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized a mark-to-market loss of $16 thousand and $73 thousand, respectively, on MedMar’s contingent consideration liability. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company settled the contingent consideration liability with the issuance of 0.1 million SVS, valued at $0.5 million, and a cash payment of $1.5 million. As of September 30, 2020, the Company still retains the $2.0 million contingent consideration liability for tax payments which is based on the counterparty’s expected tax liability for total consideration transferred for the acquisition. The Company expects to settle the remaining contingent consideration liability during the fourth quarter of 2020.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company paid $27.5 million to settle the HHH deferred consideration and recorded $0.3 million in interest expense.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company paid $18.8 million and issued 0.3 million PVS (as-converted), valued at $1.3 million, to settle the Valley Ag deferred consideration and corresponding interest payable.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded $0.6 million and $0.3 million in interest expense, respectively, related to Valley Ag operating cash flows consideration. As of September 30, 2020, the estimated liability of $7.7 million is based on the present value of expected payments associated with future cashflows of the acquired business.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, due to changes in the Company’s stock price, the Company is no longer required to make additional payments in relation to the make-whole adjustment liability related to its Valley Ag acquisition. As a result, the Company recognized a mark-to-market gain of $1.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 bringing the total mark-to-market loss for the year-to-date period to $0.7 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 the Company made payments 0.5 million SVS valued at $1.5 million. The net effect of payments made and mark-to-market adjustments recognized brings the make-whole adjustment liability related to the Valley Ag acquisition to $nil as of September 30, 2020.

The Company’s liability related to liability-classified equity awards decreased to $32 thousand as of September 30, 2020 due to changes in the Company’s share price and settlement of vested awards. See Note 12 for further details.

In connection with the Origin House acquisition, the Company acquired deferred consideration liabilities valued at $3.8 million, primarily related to $3.7 million of deferred consideration associated with Origin House’s previous acquisition of Cub City. In May 2020, the Company settled these obligations through issuance of 0.8 million SVS, valued at $2.2 million and cash payment of $1.5 million. In May 2020, the Company issued 0.3 million shares, valued at $1.0 million, in accordance with the post combination remuneration agreement with FloraCal.

The Company holds various real estate property approximating $10.0 million in fair value as collateral for certain deferred payment obligations.

The Tranche A Commitment accrues interest at a rate of 12.7% per annum, payable in cash quarterly, and has a stated maturity of July 2021. The Tranche B Commitment accrues interest at a rate of 13.2% per annum, payable in cash quarterly, and has a stated maturity of January 2022. The Company’s effective interest rates for the Tranche A Commitment and Tranche B Commitment of the Term Loan are 17.0% and 16.1%, respectively. The Company capitalized $5.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of borrowing costs related to the Tranche A Commitment and Tranche B Commitment.

The Term Loan is secured by a guarantee from substantially all material subsidiaries of the Company, as well as by a security interest in certain assets of the Company and such material subsidiaries. The Term Loan also contains negative covenants which restrict the actions of the Company and its subsidiaries during the term of the loan, including restrictions on paying dividends, making investments and incurring additional indebtedness.

The Company may redeem in whole or in part the Term Loan at any time prior to the stated maturity dates, subject to certain conditions, upon the payment of the outstanding principal amount (plus a specified redemption premium) and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized interest expense of $4.1 million and $11.0 million, respectively, including interest expense related to the amortization of the debt issuance costs of $0.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company is in compliance with all covenants related to the Term Loan.

 

  (b)

Other Loans

In conjunction with its October 1, 2019 acquisition of HHH, the Company recorded a long-term liability for the HHH Loan for an aggregate balance of $0.6 million with a stated maturity of June 2021. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company paid off the $0.6 million outstanding principal balance as part of a sale-leaseback transaction. See Note 7 for additional details on the transaction.

In conjunction with its January 8, 2020 acquisition of Origin House, the Company recorded a short-term liability with Opaskwayak Cree Nation (the “OCN Loan”) for an aggregate balance of $22.0 million as of the acquisition date, subject to a 10% interest rate and a stated maturity of June 2020. The weighted average effective interest rate of the OCN Loan was 23.8%.

On June 30, 2020, the OCN Loan was amended to extend the maturity date from June 30, 2020 to June 30, 2021 for an extension fee of $0.6 million which is recorded within Accounts payable and other accrued expenses and is amortized over the extended term. Fees, interest and principal payments are made in regular monthly installments through the maturity date. As a result of the non-substantial debt modification, the effective interest rate increased to 27.1% and a gain on debt modification of $1.1 million was recognized.

On September 29, 2020, the OCN Loan was amended to restate the principal repayment terms for an extension fee of $0.1 million which is recorded within Accounts payable and other accrued expenses. Fees, interest and principal payments will be made in regular monthly installments through the maturity date. As a result of the non-substantial debt modification, the effective interest rate decreased to 18.8% and a loss on debt modification of $40 thousand was recognized.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized interest expense of $1.3 million and $3.8 million, respectively, including interest expense related to the accretion of discount on the OCN Loan of $0.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

The Company generates revenue at the point in time the control of the product is transferred to the customer, as the Company has a right to payment, and the customer has assumed significant risks and rewards of such product. The Company does not engage in long-term sales contracts.

 

  (b)

Loyalty Programs

The Company has customer loyalty programs where retail customers accumulate points based on their level of spending. These points are recorded as a contract liability until customers redeem their points for discounts on cannabis and vape products as part of an in-store sales transaction. In addition, the Company records a performance obligation as a reduction of revenue based on the estimated probability of point obligation incurred, which is calculated based on a standalone selling price that ranges between $0.025 and $0.10 per loyalty point. Upon redemption, the loyalty program obligation is relieved and the offset is recorded as revenue. As of September 30, 2020, there were 54 million points outstanding, with an approximate value of $0.7 million. The Company expects the outstanding loyalty points will be redeemed within one year.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

  (a)

Claims and Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2020, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s operations. There are also no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers, or affiliates is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.

 

  (b)

Contingencies

The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of local and state regulations. Failure to comply with one or more of those regulations could result in fines, restrictions on its operations, or losses of permits that could result in the Company ceasing operations. While management believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with applicable local and state regulations as of September 30, 2020, cannabis regulations continue to evolve and are subject to differing interpretations. As a result, the Company may be subject to regulatory fines, penalties or restrictions in the future. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a contingent liability of $0.1 million related to the Origin House acquisition. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company reached an agreement to settle the previously recorded $0.1 million contingent liability related to the Origin House acquisition. The payment to settle the liability will be made during Q4 and the balance due is recorded within Accounts payable and other accrued expenses.

 

20.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments are held at amortized cost (adjusted for impairments or expected credit losses, as applicable) or FVTPL. The carrying values of financial instruments held at amortized cost approximate their fair values as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 due to their nature and relatively short maturity date. Financial assets and liabilities with embedded derivative features are carried at FVTPL.

Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs to fair value measurements. The three levels of hierarchy are:

 

   

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

 

   

Level 3—Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

There have been no transfers between fair value levels valuing these assets during the year. The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Loans receivable, short-term with Derivative Features

On August 12, 2019, the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note that is convertible, at the Company’s discretion, into additional membership units approximating 1% ownership of the parent company of Lighthouse. At inception, the loan had a maturity of 18 months. The loan includes an option for the Company to convert into additional membership units. As of September 30, 2020, this loan had a fair value of $2.1 million. As of December 31, 2019, this loan had a fair value of $2.2 million and was classified as a Loans receivable, long-term. This loan is measured at FVTPL and transferred classification from a long-term loan receivable to a short-term loan receivable in the current year. See Note 8 for discussion of the Company’s investment in Lighthouse.

Expected Credit Loss (“ECL”)

The Company calculates ECLs for short-term loan receivables and restricted cash by considering cash shortfalls on a discounted basis it would incur in various default scenarios for prescribed future periods and multiplying the shortfalls by the probability of each scenario occurring, which is determined through the exercise of judgment. The Company recognized impairment losses of $46 thousand and $0.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $nil during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 on Loans receivable, short-term.

 

  (c)

Loans Receivable, Long-Term

The Company entered into certain loan arrangements with Verdant Creations, LLC that contained embedded derivatives comprising of a call and put option and a stated interest rate of 5.25%. Settlement of the instruments varies based on contingent events and returns are not fixed. As such, the Company records this loan receivable at FVTPL. Each period, the loan is measured using a probability-weighting analysis of expected outcomes, which utilizes Level 3 inputs. The inputs included market rates ranging from 3.2% to 17.0%, a risk-free rate of 0.1% and expected settlement timing of 0.25 years. Changes in Level 3 inputs and assumptions utilized resulted in a fair value gain of $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $1.3 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The loan had a fair value of $18.7 million and $16.0 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Interest receivable attributable to the loan was $0.8 million as of September 30, 2020 and $nil as of December 31, 2019. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, an amendment to the loan agreement increased the maximum loan commitment by $1.4 million from $15.5 million to $16.9 million. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, of the maximum loan commitment, $16.2 million and $10.7 million, respectively, had been drawn on these loans.

In connection with the acquisition of Origin House, the Company assumed a loan receivable with a fair value of $0.3 million at both the acquisition date and September 30, 2020.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had additional loan receivables of $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The Company records this loan receivable at amortized cost and has a stated interest rate of 10.0%.

Expected Credit Loss (“ECL”)

The Company calculates ECLs for long-term loan receivables and restricted cash by considering cash shortfalls on a discounted basis it would incur in various default scenarios for prescribed future periods and multiplying the shortfalls by the probability of each scenario occurring, which is determined through the exercise of judgment. The Company recognized impairment losses of $0.3 million during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and $nil during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 on Loans receivable, long-term.

 

  (d)

Derivative Liability

In conjunction with its acquisition of PDI, the Company recorded a derivative liability of $0.2 million at the acquisition date for an NCI put option, by which the remaining NCI holders could put their shares for a fixed amount of cash within one year of the acquisition legal close/funding date. The derivative was valued using a discount rate of 9.0%. In April 2020, these holders exercised their put option which resulted in the Company paying $0.2 million to purchase the unowned interest of PDI. As a result, during Q2 2020, the Company recorded a $25 thousand mark-to-market loss to match the settlement value.

 

  (e)

Share Purchase Warrants

At September 30, 2020, the Company had 6.4 million warrants outstanding. Of the outstanding warrants, 6.2 million warrants issued to underwriters associated with September 2019 financing, sellers from the Valley Ag acquisition and previous holders of Randsburg warrants were classified as long-term derivative liabilities. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, 12 thousand Valley Ag warrants were exercised for $0.1 million, resulting in a realized loss of $6 thousand and an increase to share capital of $0.1 million. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, 35 thousand broker warrants were exercised for $0.2 million, resulting in a realized gain of $35 thousand and an increase to share capital of $0.4 million.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a mark-to-market loss, due to changes in the Company’s share price and other market factors, of $5.2 million and an unrealized foreign exchange loss of $0.4 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded a mark-to-market gain of $0.7 million and an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $1 thousand.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a mark-to-market gain, due to changes in the Company’s share price and other market factors, of $1.2 million and an unrealized foreign exchange loss of $0.2 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded a mark-to-market gain, due to changes in the Company’s share price and other market factors, of $0.5 million and an unrealized foreign exchange loss of $5 thousand.

All warrants classified as long-term derivative liabilities are measured at FVTPL.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value of liability-classified warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model utilizing the following assumptions:

 

     September 30, 2020    December 31, 2019

Risk-free annual interest rate

   0.09% - 0.14%    1.58% - 1.61%

Expected annual dividend yield

   0%    0%

Expected stock price volatility

   81%    81%

Expected life of stock warrants

   0.03 - 2.08 years    0.4 - 1.4 years

Forfeiture rate

   0%    0%

Share price at period end

   $6.00    $6.86

Volatility was estimated by using the average historical volatility of comparable companies from a representative peer group of publicly traded cannabis companies.

Financial Risk Management

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board and Company management mitigate these risks by assessing, monitoring and approving the Company’s risk management processes:

 

  (a)

Credit and Banking Risk

Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or a third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The maximum credit exposure at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, and loans receivable. The Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to its customers or loan counterparties, based on cannabis industry growth in its key markets and the low interest rate environment. Although all deposited cash is placed with U.S. financial institutions in good standing with regulatory authorities, changes in U.S. federal banking laws related to the deposit and holding of funds derived from activities related to the cannabis industry have passed the House of Representatives but have not yet been voted on within the Senate. Given that current U.S. federal law provides that the production and possession of cannabis is illegal, there is a strong argument that banks cannot accept for deposit funds from businesses involved with the cannabis industry.

The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 12, 2020 and has caused significant economic uncertainty and consequently it is difficult to reliably measure the potential impact of this uncertainty on the Company’s future financial results.

The Company’s aging of Accounts receivables as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was approximately as follows:

 

($ in thousands)    September 30,
2020

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $0.1 million and $nil, respectively, to account for expected credit loss and recorded an additional $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, in bad debt related to invoice write-offs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, to account for expected credit loss and recorded an additional $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively, in bad debt related to invoice write-offs.

 

  (b)

Asset Forfeiture Risk

Because the cannabis industry remains illegal under U.S. federal law, any property owned by participants in the cannabis industry which are either used in the course of conducting such business, or are the proceeds of such business, could be subject to seizure by law enforcement and subsequent civil asset forfeiture. Even if the owner of the property was never charged with a crime, the property in question could still be seized and subject to an administrative proceeding by which, with minimal due process, it could be subject to forfeiture.

 

  (c)

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure.

The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities) of $13.4 million, which reflects the Term Loan and OCN Loan contractual repayment dates less than twelve months from the balance sheet date. Unless refinanced or restructured, this debt will mature and require repayment, which could have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and cash flows. Management is evaluating debt repayment or refinancing options, including but not limited to, evaluating the cost of capital and terms, regulatory changes and market conditions, but there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain financing or on terms favorable to us. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may arise from this or the resulting effects of this matter.

As included in our unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, our revenues, results of operations and operating cash flows have improved. The Company is currently in discussions to restructure the Term Loan and has the ability to increase the principal amount to $200 million with mutual agreement from lenders. In December 2019, the Company entered into the ATM Offering for subordinated voting shares in the Company to be issued at the discretion of management to raise up to C$55 million to fund corporate operations. See Note 11 for further information. Additionally, the Company expects to receive tenant improvement allowances of $54.3 million to fund further expansion. Information about tenant improvement allowances and the maturity analysis for lease obligations is located in Note 7. The Company will continue to raise capital as needed to fund operations and expansion.

In addition to the commitments outlined in Note 7, the Company has the following contractual obligations as of September 30, 2020:

 

($ in thousands)    < 1 Year      1 to 3 Years      3 to 5 Years      Total

  (d)

Market Risk

 

  a.

Currency Risk

The operating results and financial position of the Company are reported in U.S. dollars. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are denominated primarily in U.S. dollars. However, from time to time some of the Company’s financial transactions are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The results of the Company’s operations are subject to currency transaction and translation risks. The Company recorded a $0.3 million and a $0.1 million foreign exchange loss during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The Company recorded an $18 thousand and a $28 thousand foreign exchange loss during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. See Note 17 for additional detail.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.

 

  b.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. An increase or decrease in the Company’s incremental borrowing rate by 10% would result in an associated increase or decrease in Deferred consideration, contingent consideration and other payables and Interest expense, net of $0.2 million. The Company’s effective interest rates for its Term Loan range from 16.1% to 17.0% and the stated interest rate varies from 12.7% to 13.2% based on the term elected by the lender. The Company’s weighted average effective interest rate for its OCN Loan is 18.8% and its stated interest rate is 10.0%. See Note 14 for further information.

 

  c.

Price Risk

Price risk is the risk of variability in fair value due to movements in equity or market prices. The Company is subject to price risk related to derivative liabilities and contingent consideration that are valued based on the Company’s own stock price. An increase or decrease in stock price by 10% would result in an associated increase or decrease in fair value and Other (expense) income, net of $3.6 million.

(Unaudited)

 

 

  d.

Tax Risk

Tax risk is the risk of changes in the tax environment that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. Currently, state licensed marijuana businesses are assessed a comparatively high effective federal tax rate due to section 280E, which bars businesses from deducting all expenses except their cost of sales when calculating federal tax liability. Any increase in tax levies resulting from additional tax measures may have a further adverse effect on the operations of the Company, while any decrease in such tax levies will be beneficial to future operations. See Note 24 for the Company’s disclosure of uncertain tax positions.

 

  e.

Regulatory Risk

Regulatory risk pertains to the risk that the Company’s business objectives are contingent, in part, upon the compliance of regulatory requirements. Due to the nature of the industry, the Company recognizes that regulatory requirements are more stringent and punitive in nature. Any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain regulatory approvals can significantly delay operational and product development and can have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operation, and financial condition. The Company is cognizant of the advent of regulatory changes occurring in the cannabis industry on the city, state, and national levels. Although regulatory outlook on the cannabis industry has been moving in a positive trend, the Company is aware of the effect that unforeseen regulatory changes could have on the goals and operations of the business as a whole.

 

21.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates in one segment, the cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, and sale of cannabis.

For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company generated 98% of its revenue in the United States with the remainder generated in Canada. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, all revenues were generated in the United States.

 

22.

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net earnings or loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding.

Potentially dilutive securities of approximately 150.5 million and 145.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and 152.3 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were excluded in the calculation of diluted EPS for these periods as their impact would have been anti-dilutive due to net losses in the periods.

The Company determined that the tax impact of certain arrangements between its management companies and operating companies is not probable that it would be sustained under IFRIC 23 due to the evolving interpretations of Section 280E. As a result, the Company recorded a reserve for uncertain tax positions of $12.4 million as of September 30, 2020, an increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 of $4.9 million. Interest and penalties associated with the reserve are $1.0 million, an increase of $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Cresco Labs, Michigan, LLC (“Cresco Michigan”) which is 85% owned by related parties within management of the Company.

Cresco is primarily engaged in the business of cultivating medical grade cannabis, manufacturing medical grade products derived from cannabis cultivation, and distributing such products to medical or adult use consumers in legalized cannabis markets. Cresco exists to provide high-quality and consistent cannabis-based products to consumers. Cresco’s business focuses on regulatory compliance while working to develop condition-specific strains of cannabis and non-invasive delivery methods (alternatives to smoke inhalation) to provide controlled-dosage medicinal cannabis relief to qualified patients and consumers in legalized cannabis markets. The Company currently operates three (3) medical and adult-use cannabis cultivation and manufacturing centers and nine (9) dispensary locations in Illinois; one (1) medical cannabis cultivation and manufacturing center and three (3) dispensary locations in Pennsylvania; one (1) medical cannabis cultivation center and one (1) dispensary location in Ohio; three (3) cultivation centers, one (1) processing facility and two (2) distribution facilities in California; two (2) cultivation centers and one (1) manufacturing and dispensary location in Arizona; one (1) processing center in Maryland; one (1) medical cannabis cultivation center and four (4) dispensary locations in New York; one (1) cultivation center and dispensary in Massachusetts; one (1) processing facility in Michigan; and twenty-six (26) nicotine vape stores in Canada.

In Illinois, Cresco’s dispensary applications received the highest, second highest and third highest scores, respectively, of all applications reviewed by the State of Illinois. Subsequently, the Company was the first cultivator to receive approvals to grow adult-use cannabis; all three cultivation facilities were granted approvals in that state. Additionally, the Company’s five (5) dispensary locations were approved for dispensing adult-use cannabis in that state upon legalization, effective January 1, 2020. Secondary sites corresponding to the five (5) current dispensary licenses were also awarded, allowing for up to ten (10) dispensary locations upon zoning approval by local jurisdictions. The zoning for the first such secondary site dispensary located in Chicago’s River North neighborhood was approved by the City of Chicago on March 6, 2020. On May 28, 2020, the Company began adult-use cannabis sales at this location. The Company began adult-use cannabis sales at the Danville, South Beloit, and Schaumburg locations on May 27, 2020, July 13, 2020, and August 6, 2020, respectively. On September 22, 2020, the Company announced approval for its tenth (10) adult-use dispensary located in Naperville. In Pennsylvania, Cresco was awarded the highest score during the application process and had the second highest overall score, making it one of only five cultivators that was also awarded a dispensary license which allows for up to three (3) dispensaries. The Company was subsequently awarded a second dispensary license allowing an additional three (3) dispensaries for a total of six (6) locations across the state. During 2019, the Company announced a new dispensary brand, Sunnyside*, created to accelerate industry growth and shift consumer expectations and perceptions around shopping for cannabis from intimidation and doubt to curiosity and acceptance through a new trail and marketing approach. Five (5) Sunnyside* dispensaries opened on January 1, 2020 in the Illinois market and four (4) additional locations began operations in May, July, and August 2020. Four (4) New York locations were rebranded as Sunnyside* dispensaries in February 2020. One (1) Arizona location was rebranded as a Sunnyside* dispensary in June 2020. One (1) Massachusetts location and three (3) Pennsylvania locations were rebranded as Sunnyside* dispensaries in July 2020. Cresco’s portfolio of owned cannabis consumer packaged goods includes Cresco, Reserve, Remedi, Mindy’s, Good News and High Supply. The Company distributes and markets these products primarily to third-party licensed retail cannabis stores across the United States as well as to Cresco-owned retail stores.

Cresco is currently located at Suite 110, 400 W. Erie St, Chicago, IL 60654 and employs approximately 2,000 people, while being named one of the “Best Places to Work” by Crain’s Chicago Business in 2019.

Issuing IPO, Reverse Takeover & Corporate Structure

The Company (then Randsburg Gold Corporation) was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia under the Company Act (British Columbia) on July 6, 1990. On December 30, 1997, the Company changed its name from Randsburg Gold Corporation to Randsburg International Gold Corp. (“Randsburg”) and consolidated its common shares on a five (5) old for one (1) new basis. On November 30, 2018, in connection with the Reverse Takeover, the Company (i) consolidated its outstanding Randsburg Common Shares on an 812.63 old for one (1) new basis, and (ii) filed an alteration to its Notice of Articles with the British Columbia Registrar of Companies to change its name from Randsburg to Cresco Labs Inc. and to amend the rights and restrictions of its existing class of common shares, redesignate such class as the class of Subordinate Voting Shares (“SVS”) and create the Proportionate Voting Shares and the Super Voting Shares.

The Company’s registered office is located at Suite 2200, 1055 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 2E9. Pursuant to the Reverse Takeover, among the Company (then Randsburg) and Cresco, a series of transactions was completed on November 30, 2018 resulting in a reorganization of Cresco and Randsburg and pursuant to which Randsburg became the indirect parent and sole voting unitholder of Cresco. The series of transactions constituted a Reverse Takeover of Randsburg by Cresco under applicable securities laws.

Cresco was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of Illinois on October 8, 2013 and is governed by the Pre-Combination LLC Agreement. The Pre-Combination LLC Agreement was further amended and restated in connection with the completion of the Reverse Takeover.

Set forth below is the organization chart of the Company.

Recent Developments

On April 26, 2019, the Company announced that it filed and received a receipt for a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus (the “Shelf Prospectus”) with the securities commissions in each of the provinces of Canada, except Québec. The Shelf Prospectus allows the Company to offer up to C$500 million SVS, debt securities, subscription receipts, warrants, and units, or any combination thereof, from time to time during the 25-month period that the final Shelf Prospectus is effective. The Company filed this Shelf Prospectus in order to maintain financial strength and flexibility going forward; the final version of the Shelf Prospectus was filed and accepted on July 26, 2019. The specific terms of any future offering of securities, including the use of proceeds from any offering, will be established in prospectus supplements to the Shelf Prospectus, which will be filed with the applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities.

On May 28, 2019, the Company announced that shareholders representing 205,172,192 common shares (the “Shareholders”) have entered into voluntary lock-up agreements with the Company (the “Agreements”), representing 97% of the shares subject to an initial lock-up and 80% of total issued SVS (on an as-if converted basis). Included among the Shareholders are all of the Company’s founders, its entire executive management team and board of directors, as well as several of the largest outside investors in Cresco. The voluntary lock-up Agreements stipulate that these shareholders will not, subject to limited exception, offer to sell, contract to sell, lend, pledge or otherwise dispose of any Cresco securities, or enter into any transaction to such effect, directly or indirectly, in addition to other restrictions until December 3, 2019, when a portion of the shares will be released followed by the remainder of the shares being released by June 3, 2020. This lock-up expired in June 2020.

On September 18, 2019, the Company filed a prospectus supplement (the “Offering”), together with the short form base shelf prospectus described above, which qualified the distribution of 7,350,000 units (the “Offered Units”) of Cresco at a

price of C$10.00 per Offered Unit (the “Offering Price”) pursuant to an amended and restated underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) dated as of September 16, 2019 between Cresco and Canaccord Genuity Corp., Beacon Securities Limited, Cormark Securities Inc., Eight Capital and GMP Securities L.P. (collectively, the “Underwriters”). Each Offered Unit was comprised of one SVS of Cresco (each, a “Unit Share”) and one-half of one SVS purchase warrant of Cresco (each whole SVS purchase warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant is exercisable into one SVS of Cresco (each, a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of C$12.50 per Warrant Share at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the date that is 36 months following the closing of the Offering. The Offered Units immediately separate into Unit Shares and Warrants upon issuance. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, Cresco agreed to pay to the Underwriter a fee representing 5.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering.

Cresco granted the Underwriter an option to purchase up to an additional 1,102,500 Offered Units (the “Additional Units”) at the Offering Price per Additional Unit on the same terms and conditions as the Offering for a period of 30 days from and including the closing date (September 24, 2019) to cover over allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes. On October 24, 2019, the Company issued an additional 551,250 share purchase warrants (the “Additional Warrants”) at a price of C$2.16 per Additional Warrant for gross proceeds of C$1,190,700, pursuant to the partial exercise of the Underwriter’s over-allotment option.

On December 3, 2019, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement (“EDA”) with Canaccord Genuity Corp. pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, sell up to C$55 million of SVS (the “ATM Offering”). The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the ATM Offering principally for general corporate purposes, including repaying indebtedness outstanding from time to time, funding ongoing discretionary capital programs and potential future acquisitions. The volume and timing of sales, if any, will be determined at the sole discretion of the Company’s management and in accordance with the terms of the EDA.

On February 2, 2020, the Company closed on a senior secured term loan agreement (the “Term Loan”) for an aggregate principal amount of $100 million, with the mutual option to increase the principal amount to $200 million. The Tranche A and Tranche B Commitments have a stated maturity of July 2021 and January 2022, respectively.

In conjunction with its January 8, 2020 acquisition of Origin House, the Company recorded a short-term liability with Opaskwayak Cree Nation (the “OCN Loan”) with an aggregate balance of $22.0 million as of the acquisition date, subject to a 10% interest rate and a stated maturity of June 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the OCN Loan was amended to extend the maturity date to June 30, 2021.

Federal Regulatory Environment

Canadian-Securities Administrators Staff Notice 51-352 (Revised) – Issuers with U.S. Marijuana-Related Activities (“Staff Notice 51-352”) provides specific disclosure expectations for issuers that currently have, or are in the process of developing, cannabis-related activities in the United States as permitted within a particular state’s regulatory framework. All issuers with United States cannabis-related activities are expected to clearly and prominently disclose certain prescribed information in prospectus filings and other required disclosure documents.

In accordance with Staff Notice 51-352, Cresco will evaluate, monitor and reassess the disclosure contained herein, and any related risks, on an ongoing basis and the same will be supplemented, amended and communicated to investors in public filings, including in the event of government policy changes or the introduction of new or amended guidance, laws or regulations regarding marijuana regulation. As a result of Cresco’s operations, it is subject to Staff Notice 51-352 and accordingly provides the following disclosure:

Cresco currently directly derives a substantial portion of its revenues from the cannabis industry in certain U.S. states, which industry is illegal under U.S. Federal Law. As of September 30, 2020, the Company is directly involved (through licensed subsidiaries) in both the adult-use and medical cannabis industry in the states of Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Arizona, Maryland, California, Michigan, New York and Massachusetts as permitted within such states under applicable state law which states have regulated such industries.

The cultivation, sale and use of cannabis is illegal under federal law pursuant to the U.S. Controlled Substance Act of 1970 (the “CSA”). Under the CSA, the policies and regulations of the United States Federal Government and its agencies are that cannabis has no medical benefit and a range of activities including cultivation and the personal use of cannabis is prohibited. The Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution establishes that the United States Constitution and federal laws made pursuant to it are paramount and in case of conflict between federal and state law, the federal law shall apply.

On January 4, 2018, former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a memorandum to U.S. district attorneys which rescinded previous guidance from the U.S. Department of Justice specific to cannabis enforcement in the United States, including the Cole Memo (as defined herein). With the Cole Memo rescinded, U.S. federal prosecutors have been given discretion in determining whether to prosecute cannabis-related violations of U.S. federal law. If the Department of Justice policy was to aggressively pursue financiers or equity owners of cannabis-related business, and United States Attorneys followed such Department of Justice policies through pursuing prosecutions, then the Company could face (i) seizure of its cash and other assets used to support or derived from its cannabis subsidiaries, and (ii) the arrest of its employees, directors, officers, managers and investors, who could face charges of ancillary criminal violations of the CSA for aiding and abetting and conspiring to violate the CSA by virtue of providing financial support to state-licensed or permitted cultivators, processors, distributors, and/or retailers of cannabis. Additionally, as has recently been affirmed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, employees, directors, officers, managers and investors of the Company who are not U.S. citizens face the risk of being barred from entry into the United States for life. The Rohrabacher–Farr amendment (also known as the Rohrabacher–Blumenauer amendment) prohibits the Justice Department from spending funds to interfere with the implementation of state medical cannabis laws. It first passed the House in May becoming law in December 2014 as part of an omnibus spending bill. The passage of the amendment was the first time either chamber of Congress had voted to protect medical cannabis patients and is viewed as a historic victory for cannabis reform advocates at the federal level. The amendment does not change the legal status of cannabis, however, and must be renewed each fiscal year in order to remain in effect.

Unless and until the United States Congress amends the CSA with respect to medical and/or adult-use cannabis (and as to the timing or scope of any such potential amendments there can be no assurance), there is a significant risk that federal authorities may enforce current U.S. federal law. If the U.S. federal government begins to enforce U.S. federal laws relating to cannabis in states where the sale and use of cannabis is currently legal, or if existing applicable state laws are repealed or curtailed, the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects would be materially adversely affected.

Despite the current state of the federal law and the CSA, the states of Arizona, California, Nevada, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, New Jersey, Illinois, South Dakota, Montana, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Vermont and Alaska, and the District of Columbia, have legalized recreational use of cannabis. Maine has not yet begun recreational cannabis commercial operations as of September 30, 2020. During the November 2020 election, voters in Arizona, New Jersey, South Dakota, and Montana passed an adult use marijuana measure to allow for the sale of recreational marijuana in the state. South Dakota and Mississippi voters passed initiatives to allow medical marijuana. In early 2018, Vermont became the first state to legalize recreational cannabis by passage in a state legislature but does not allow commercial sales of recreational cannabis. Although the District of Columbia voters passed a ballot initiative in November 2014, no commercial recreational operations exist because of a prohibition on using funds for regulation within a federal appropriations amendment to local District spending powers.

In addition, over half of the U.S. states have enacted legislation to legalize and regulate the sale and use of medical cannabis, provided that there are strict limits on the levels of THC. However, there is no guarantee that state laws legalizing and regulating the sale and use of cannabis will not be repealed or overturned, or that local governmental authorities will not limit the applicability of state laws within their respective jurisdictions.

The Company’s objective is to capitalize on the opportunities presented as a result of the changing regulatory environment governing the cannabis industry in the United States. Accordingly, there are a number of significant risks associated with the business of the Company. Unless and until the United States Congress amends the CSA with respect to medical and/or adult-use cannabis (and as to the timing or scope of any such potential amendments there can be no assurance), there is a significant risk that federal authorities may enforce current federal law, and the business of the Company may be deemed to be producing, cultivating, extracting, or dispensing cannabis or aiding or abetting or otherwise engaging in a conspiracy to commit such acts in violation of federal law in the United States.

For these reasons, the Company’s investments in the United States cannabis market may subject the Company to heightened scrutiny by regulators, stock exchanges, clearing agencies and other Canadian authorities. There are a number of risks associated with the business of the Company. See section entitled “Financial Risk Management” and see sections “Risk Factors,” “General Development of the Business” and “Description of the Business” in the Annual Information Form dated April 28, 2020.

On September 25, 2019, the Secure and Fair Enforcement Banking Act of 2019 (“SAFE Banking Act”) was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives in a 321 to 103 vote. The SAFE Banking Act would permanently protect state-chartered banks and credit unions that service state-legal cannabis companies from being penalized by federal regulators. On May 17, 2020, the legislative language of the SAFE Banking Act was included in a stimulus bill known as The Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions Act (“HEROES Act”). The HEROES Act was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives in a 208 to 199 vote. A negotiated version of the fourth COVID-19 package is expected to be up for vote in the Senate in the future. SAFE Banking was included in the COVID-19 relief bill introduced by Minority Leader Charles Schumer in October. Management believes, based on currently available information, that the likelihood of SAFE Banking’s passage is high, however the particular timing and legislative vehicle is unknown.

On November 20, 2019, the House Judiciary Committee approved the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act of 2019 (“MORE Act”) in a 24 to 10 vote. The MORE Act would decriminalize and remove Cannabis as a Schedule I substance. The MORE Act may be readdressed by the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives before the end of 2020.

The States In Which We Operate, Their Legal Framework and How It Affects Our Business

Illinois Operations

The Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act, which allows individuals diagnosed with a debilitating medical condition access to medical marijuana, became effective January 1, 2014. There were over 41 qualifying conditions as part of the initial medical program, including epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, and post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”).

The Opioid Alternative Pilot Program launched on January 31, 2019 and allows patients that receive or are qualified to receive opioid prescriptions access to medical marijuana as an alternative in situations where an opioid could generally be prescribed. Under this new program, patients with doctor approval can receive near-immediate access to cannabis products from an Illinois licensed dispensary. The Opioid Alternative Pilot Program eliminates the previously required fingerprinting and background checks that often delay patients’ access to medical cannabis by up to three months.

In June 2019, the Illinois House of Representatives and Senate passed Senate Bill 2023 which added 11 additional debilitating illnesses such as chronic pain, migraines and irritable bowel syndrome to the list of qualifying medical conditions. This bill was signed into law in August 2019 by Governor JB Pritzker.

In January 2019, JB Pritzker was sworn into office as Governor of Illinois. Cresco’s CEO and co-founder, Charles Bachtell, was appointed to the Cannabis Legalization Subcommittee of the governor’s transition team. Cannabis Legalization was one of four subcommittees under the Governor’s Restorative Justice and Safe Communities Transition Committee. The primary goals of the Cannabis Legalization Subcommittee were to evaluate and develop implementation recommendations for the Governor’s platform on legalizing cannabis. In June 2019, Governor Pritzker signed the Cannabis Regulation and Taxation Act into law, making Illinois the 11th state to legalize recreational marijuana.

Illinois’ retail market for the first nine calendar months of 2020 was $699 million, representing a 305% year-over-year increase.

Cresco currently operates three (3) medical/adult-use cannabis cultivation and manufacturing centers in Illinois, owns five (5) medical/adult-use dispensary locations in Illinois, and owns four (4) adult-use dispensary locations in Illinois. Licenses were awarded based on merit in a highly competitive application process to applicants who demonstrated strong operational expertise and financial backing.

Cresco is licensed to operate in the state of Illinois as a medical and adult-use cultivator and medical and adult-use product manufacturer. Phoenix, PDI, FloraMedex, MedMar Lakeview, and MedMar Rockford, are licensed to operate retail dispensaries in the state of Illinois. These dispensaries were rebranded as Sunnyside* dispensaries in early 2020. Under applicable laws, the licenses permit Cresco and its subsidiaries to collectively cultivate, manufacture, process, package, sell, and purchase marijuana pursuant to the terms of the licenses, which are issued by the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation under the provisions of the Illinois Revised Statutes 410 ILCS 130. All licenses are, as of the date hereof, active with the State of Illinois. There are two categories of licenses in Illinois: (i) cultivation/processing; and (ii) dispensary. The licenses are independently issued for each approved activity.

All cultivation/processing establishments and all dispensaries must register with the Illinois Department of Agriculture. If applications contain all required information and after vetting by officers, establishments are issued a medical marijuana establishment registration certificate. Registration certificates are valid for a period of one year and are subject to annual renewals after required fees are paid and the business remains in good standing. Renewal requests are typically communicated through email from the Department of Agriculture or Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and include a renewal form. While Cresco’s compliance controls have been developed to mitigate the risk of any material violations of a license arising, there is no assurance that Illinois cannabis licenses will be renewed in the future in a timely manner. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations of Illinois cannabis and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

The retail dispensary licenses held by Phoenix, PDI, FloraMedex, MedMar Lakeview, and MedMar Rockford permit the Company to purchase marijuana and marijuana products from cultivation/processing facilities and allows the sale of marijuana and marijuana products to registered patients and adult-use customers. The initial five (5) dispensary locations were approved on October 16, 2019 to begin dispensing adult-use cannabis on January 1, 2020 and were also approved to open secondary site adult-use dispensaries by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. Two (2) of the five (5) additional dispensaries will be located within the City of Chicago. In May 2020, the Company announced the opening of the sixth (6th) and seventh (7th) Sunnyside* locations in Danville and Chicago-River North, respectively. In July 2020, the Company announced the opening of an eighth (8th) Sunnyside* location in South Beloit. In August 2020, the Company announced the opening of a ninth (9th) Sunnyside* location in Schaumburg. In September 2020, the Company announced the approval of a tenth (10th) Sunnyside* location in Naperville.

The three medical cultivation licenses held by Cresco permit it to acquire, possess, cultivate, manufacture/process into edible medical marijuana products and/or medical marijuana-infused products, deliver, transfer, have tested, transport, supply or sell marijuana and related supplies to medical marijuana dispensaries. In September 2019, the three cultivation facilities were approved for growing adult-use cannabis by the Illinois Department of Agriculture, for a total cultivation capacity of 0.6 million square feet, the maximum allowed by law.

Pennsylvania Operations

The Pennsylvania medical marijuana program was signed into law on April 17, 2016 under Act 16 and provided access to state residents with one of 21 qualifying conditions, including epilepsy, cancer, chronic pain, and PTSD. The state, which consists of over 12 million U.S. citizens and qualifies as the fifth largest population in the U.S., operates as a high-barrier market with very limited market participation. The state originally awarded only 12 licenses to cultivate/process and 27 licenses to operate retail dispensaries (which entitled holders up to three medical dispensary locations). Out of the hundreds of applicants in each license category, Yeltrah was awarded one (1) medical cannabis cultivation and processing center in Pennsylvania, and three (3) dispensary locations in Pennsylvania.

 

8


Retail sales commenced in February 2018 to a limited number of retail locations across the state. On February 15, 2018, Yeltrah was the first cultivator/processor to release product into the Pennsylvania market (approximately 6 weeks ahead of any other producer), and its dispensary was the first to sell product to patients in the state.

On March 22, 2018, it was announced that the final phase of the Pennsylvania medical marijuana program would initiate its rollout, which will include 13 additional cultivation/processing licenses and 23 additional dispensary licenses. The application period ran from April 2018 through May 17, 2018. Yeltrah submitted additional dispensary applications and in December of 2018 an additional dispensary license was obtained to open three (3) additional dispensary locations, for a total of six (6) in the state of Pennsylvania.

In the introductory months of the program, Pennsylvania’s medical marijuana dispensaries experienced supply shortages and were unable to keep up with statewide demand. It was announced on April 17, 2018 that dry flower would be included in the regulations as an approved product form for sale and consumption (in addition to the already approved forms of concentrates, pills, and tinctures).

Under applicable laws, the licenses permit Yeltrah to cultivate, manufacture, process, package, sell, and purchase medical marijuana pursuant to the terms of the licenses, which are issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Health under the provisions of Medical Marijuana Act (35 P.S. §10231.101—10231.2110) and Chapters 1141, 1151 and 1161 of the Pennsylvania regulations. All licenses are, as of the date hereof, active with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. There are two categories of licenses in Pennsylvania: (i) cultivation/processing; and (ii) dispensary. The licenses are independently issued for each approved activity for use at Yeltrah facilities in Pennsylvania.

All cultivation/processing establishments and all dispensaries must register with the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Registration certificates are valid for a period of one year and are subject to annual renewals after required fees are paid and the business remains in good standing. Specifically, licenses that Yeltrah currently holds have each undergone one or two renewals. While Cresco’s compliance controls have been developed to mitigate the risk of any material violations of a license arising, there is no assurance that Pennsylvania cannabis licenses will be renewed in the future in a timely manner. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations of Pennsylvania cannabis and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

The retail dispensary licenses permit Yeltrah to purchase marijuana and marijuana products from cultivation/processing facilities and allows the sale of marijuana and marijuana products to registered patients.

The medical cultivation licenses permit Yeltrah to acquire, possess, cultivate, manufacture/process into edible medical marijuana products and/or medical marijuana-infused products, deliver, transfer, have tested, transport, supply or sell marijuana and related supplies to medical marijuana dispensaries. In May 2020, the Company announced the completion of its cultivation and manufacturing facility expansion which provides an additional sixty-six thousand (66,000) square feet of indoor and greenhouse cultivation area, bringing the total cultivation space in the facility to eighty-eight thousand (88,000) square feet.

On September 25, 2019, Pennsylvania’s Governor held a press conference to announce a majority of Pennsylvania citizens were in favor of adult-use cannabis. He called on the General Assembly to consider the legalization of adult-use cannabis and provided additional actions to seek a path forward. On October 13th, 2020, the Governor reaffirmed his support for adult-use and discussed the economic growth potential and restorative justice benefits of legalizing adult-use cannabis.

Ohio Operations

House Bill 523, effective on September 8, 2016, legalized medical marijuana in Ohio. The Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program (“MMCP”) allows people with certain medical conditions, upon the recommendation of an Ohio-licensed physician certified by the State Medical Board, to purchase and use medical marijuana. House Bill 523 required that the framework for the MMCP become effective as of September 2018. This timeframe allowed for a deliberate process to ensure the safety of the public and to promote access to a safe product.

 

9


The three following state government agencies are responsible for the operation of MMCP: (1) the Ohio Department of Commerce is responsible for overseeing medical marijuana cultivators, processors and testing laboratories; (2) the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy is responsible for overseeing medical marijuana retail dispensaries, the registration of medical marijuana patients and caregivers, the approval of new forms of medical marijuana and coordinating the Medical Marijuana Advisory Committee; and, (3) the State Medical Board of Ohio is responsible for certifying physicians to recommend medical marijuana and may add to the list of qualifying conditions for which medical marijuana can be recommended. The qualifying conditions in Ohio as a part of MMCP, include but are not limited to: cancer, epilepsy or other seizure disorder, inflammatory bowel disease, pain (either chronic, severe, or intractable) and PTSD. In order for a patient to be eligible to obtain medical marijuana, a physician must make a diagnosis of one of the qualifying conditions.

Several forms of medical marijuana are legal in Ohio, these include: inhalation of marijuana through a vaporizer (not direct smoking), oils, tinctures, plant material, edibles, patches and any other forms approved by the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy.

On June 4, 2018, the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy awarded 56 medical marijuana provisional dispensary licenses. The licenses were awarded after an extensive review of 376 submitted dispensary applications.

Provisional licensees are authorized to begin the process of establishing a dispensary in accordance with the representations in their applications and the rules adopted by the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy. Per state of Ohio regulations, all provisional license holders have a maximum of six months to demonstrate compliance with the dispensary operational requirements to obtain a certificate of operation. Compliance will be determined through an inspection by a Board of Medical Marijuana Compliance Agent. Once a dispensary is awarded a certificate of operation, it can begin selling medical marijuana to Ohio patients and caregivers in accordance with Ohio laws and rules.

By rule, the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy is limited to issuing up to 60 dispensary licenses across the state but will have the authority to increase the number of licenses. To date, no announcement has been made if the number of licenses will be increased. Per the program rules, the Board will consider, on at least a biennial basis, whether enough medical marijuana dispensaries exist, considering the state population, the number of patients seeking to use medical marijuana, and the geographic distribution of dispensary sites.

Cresco Ohio was awarded one (1) dispensary license which is located in Wintersville, Ohio. The dispensary license permits Cresco Ohio to purchase marijuana and marijuana products from cultivation/processing facilities and allows the sale of marijuana and marijuana products to registered patients.

Cresco Ohio applied for and, on November 30, 2017, received one (1) provisional cultivation license. Cresco Ohio’s cultivation facility is a hybrid greenhouse structure located in Yellow Springs, Ohio. The medical cultivation license authorizes Cresco Ohio to grow, harvest, package and transport medical marijuana products.

On December 12, 2018, Cresco Ohio was granted the first dispensary Certificate of Operation in the state, which was over a month in advance of any other dispensary operator. Retail sales commenced on January 16, 2019 with the first cannabis sale taking place at the Wintersville dispensary. This was the second state medical marijuana program in which the Company was first to market.

The Company has certain agreements with Verdant Creations, LLC and its affiliates (“Verdant”) that will give the Company the option to purchase four (4) additional Ohio dispensaries currently operated by Verdant. Completion of the transaction is subject to approval by the Ohio Board of Pharmacy and, upon closing, Cresco will have a total of five (5) dispensaries in Ohio, the maximum allowed by the state. Cresco agreed to provide certain consulting services and financing to Verdant for the development and operation of the dispensaries in consideration of Verdant’s grant to Cresco of an option to acquire the dispensaries when permissible under Ohio regulations.

On June 8, 2020, Cresco Ohio was granted a provisional processing license by the state of Ohio. This license allows Cresco Ohio to extract oils and manufacture products from cannabis which will now provide the Company the ability to sell its entire brand portfolio in Ohio.

Ohio cultivation and processor licenses are renewable annually by the Ohio Department of Commerce. Renewal applications are due at least thirty days prior to the expiration date of the certificate of operation. The Department of Commerce shall grant a renewal if the renewal application was timely filed, the annual fee was timely paid, there are no reasons warranting denial of the renewal and the cultivator / processor passes inspection. Ohio dispensary licenses expire biennially on the date identified on the certificate. Renewal information, including a renewal fee, must be submitted at least forty-five days prior to the date the existing certificate expires. If the dispensary is operated in compliance with Ohio dispensary regulations, and the renewal fee is paid, the state board of pharmacy shall renew the certificate of operation within 45 days after the renewal application is received. While Cresco’s compliance controls have been developed to mitigate the risk of any material violations of a license arising, there is no assurance that Ohio cannabis licenses will be renewed in the future in a timely manner. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations of Ohio cannabis and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

On January 28, 2020, the Company announced that it had completed the sale of its Yellow Springs, OH property to Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. (“IIP”). The previously announced sale was for consideration equal to approximately $10.5 million, which includes funding for additional tenant improvements. Concurrent with the closing of the sale, Cresco Labs entered into a long-term, triple-net lease agreement with IIP and will continue to operate the property as a licensed cannabis cultivation and processing facility. The property represents approximately 50,000 square feet of industrial space in aggregate. This sale marks Cresco’s fourth completed sale-and-leaseback transaction, the third with IIP.

California Operations

In 1996, California was the first state to legalize medical marijuana through Proposition 215, the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 (“CUA”). This legalized the use, possession and cultivation of medical marijuana by patients with a physician recommendation for treatment of cancer, anorexia, AIDS, chronic pain, spasticity, glaucoma, arthritis, migraine, or any other illness for which marijuana provides relief.

In 2003, Senate Bill 420 was signed into law establishing an optional identification card system for medical marijuana patients.

In September 2015, the California legislature passed three bills collectively known as the “Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act” (“MCRSA”). The MCRSA established a licensing and regulatory framework for medical marijuana businesses in California. The system created multiple license types for dispensaries, infused products manufacturers, cultivation facilities, testing laboratories, transportation companies, and distributors. Edible infused product manufacturers would require either volatile solvent or non-volatile solvent manufacturing licenses depending on their specific extraction methodology. Multiple agencies would oversee different aspects of the program and businesses would require a state license and local approval to operate. However, in November 2016, voters in California overwhelmingly passed Proposition 64, the “Adult-Use of Marijuana Act” (“AUMA”) creating an adult-use marijuana program for adults 21 years of age or older. AUMA had some conflicting provisions with MCRSA, so in June 2017, the California State Legislature passed Senate Bill No. 94, known as Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“MAUCRSA”), which amalgamates MCRSA and AUMA to provide a set of regulations to govern medical and adult-use licensing regime for cannabis businesses in the state of California. MAUCRSA went into effect on January 1, 2018. The four agencies that regulate marijuana at the state level are the Bureau of Cannabis Control (“BCC”), the California Department of Food and Agriculture (“CDFA”), the California Department of Public Health (“CDPH”), and the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (“CDTFA”).

In order to legally operate a medical or adult-use cannabis business in California, the operator must have both a local and state license. This requirement limits license holders to operate only in cities with marijuana licensing programs. Therefore, cities in California are allowed to determine if they will have a marijuana licensing program and determine the number of licenses they will issue to marijuana operators.

On June 7, 2018, Cresco acquired a 60% ownership interest in SLO, a marijuana cultivation facility in operation in the cities of Carpinteria (Santa Barbara County) and Mendota (Fresno County), California. On September 27, 2018, Cresco acquired a further 20% ownership interest to bring the total ownership to 80%. The cultivation facility has a capacity of up to 650,000 square feet of greenhouse production space.

SLO is licensed to cultivate, process, manufacture, and distribute medical and adult-use cannabis in the state of California pursuant to the terms of the California state licenses issued by the CDFA, CDPH, CDTFA, and BCC under the provision of MAUCRSA and California Assembly Bill No. 133. In California, licenses are independently issued by the respective agency.

California state and local licenses are renewed annually. Each year, licensees are required to submit a renewal application per guidelines published by BCC, CDFA, CDTFA, and CDPH. While renewals are annual, there is no ultimate expiry after which no renewals are permitted. Additionally, in respect of the renewal process, provided that the requisite renewal fees are paid, the renewal application is submitted in a timely manner, and there are no material violations noted against the applicable license, SLO would expect to receive the applicable renewed license in the ordinary course of business. While SLO’s compliance controls have been developed to mitigate the risk of any material violations of a license arising, there is no assurance that the licenses will be renewed in the future in a timely manner. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations of the Resulting Issuer and have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

SLO applied for and was granted licenses permitting it to cultivate, manufacture, and distribute retail medical (and in some instances, adult-use) cannabis and cannabis-related products:

Mendota (Fresno County)

 

   

SLO has been issued a provisional license for Type 7 (Manufacturing 2—Volatile), Adult-Use & Medical (“A&M”).

 

   

SLO has been issued a provisional license for Type 11 (Distribution), A&M.

 

   

SLO submitted annual applications for the two listed license types to the state regulator and is awaiting approval for these annual applications.

Carpinteria (SB County)

 

   

SLO has been issued provisional licenses for Cultivation: Small Mixed-Light Tier 1. Additionally, SLO has been issued provisional licenses in:

 

   

Nursery, allowing for the planting and cultivation of medical cannabis from seeds, clones, and immature plants.

 

   

Processor Type, allowing for the harvesting, drying, curing, grading or tanning of cannabis as well as the packaging and labelling of certain non-manufactured cannabis.

 

   

SLO submitted annual applications for the three listed license types to the state regulator and is awaiting approval of annual applications.

Origin House

On January 8, 2020, Cresco acquired Origin House, pursuant to which Cresco acquired all issued and outstanding shares of Origin House. Under the terms of the Origin House Agreement and subsequent amendments, holders of common shares of Origin House received 0.7031 SVS of Cresco Labs for each Origin House share (the “Transaction”). The Company acquired 100% of all equity interests of Origin House for 66.5 million Cresco shares and 6.0 million replacement equity awards, valued at $428.2 million.

The Transaction represents a total consideration of $428.2 million on a fully-diluted basis, and as of this date, is among the largest of public company acquisitions in the history of the U.S. cannabis industry. The combined entity is one of the largest vertically-integrated multi-state cannabis operators in the United States; a leading North American cannabis company, by footprint; and one of the largest cannabis brand distributors.

Origin House has become a leading distributor and provider of brand support services in California, the world’s largest regulated cannabis market. Origin House’s proven strategy has been to build relationships with established dispensaries,

 

12


build partnerships with established market-leading brands, develop promising cannabis product companies, and then leverage its full suite of support services to transform those products into strong California consumer brands. Since the closing of this acquisition, Cresco has access to several additional licenses for cultivation, manufacturing and distribution of cannabis within the state of California.

Oakland (Alameda County)

 

   

Origin House has been issued a provisional license for Type 11 (Distribution), Adult-Use.

 

   

Origin House submitted an annual application for the one (1) listed license type to the state regulator and is awaiting approval for the annual application.

Santa Rosa (Sonoma County)

 

   

Origin House has been issued one (1) provisional license for Cultivation: Medical Small Indoor.

 

   

Origin House submitted an annual application for the one (1) listed license type to the state regulator and is awaiting approval for the annual application.

In addition to the seven (7) active licenses listed above, Origin House continues to pursue new state license opportunities and recently applied for a Type 11 (Distribution) license for the Santa Rosa (Sonoma County) location.

Arizona Operations

In 2010, Arizona passed Ballot Proposition 203, which amended Title 36 to the Arizona Revised Statutes. This amendment added Chapter 28.1, titled the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act. (the “AMMA”). The AMMA is codified in Arizona Revised Statutes §36-2801 et. seq. The AMMA also appointed the Arizona Department of Health Services (the “ADHS”) as the regulator for the program and authorized ADHS to promulgate, adopt and enforce regulations for the AMMA. These ADHS Regulations are embodied in the Arizona Administrative Code Title 9 Chapter 17 (the “Rules”).

The ADHS has established the Arizona Department of Health Services Medical Marijuana Program (“MMJ Program”), which includes a vertically integrated license, meaning if allocated a Medical Marijuana Dispensary Registration Certificate (“Dispensary License”), entities are authorized to dispense and cultivate medical cannabis. Each Dispensary License allows the holding entity to operate one on-site cultivation facility, and one off-site cultivation facility which can be located anywhere within the state of Arizona. An entity holding a Dispensary License is required to file an application to renew with the ADHS on an annual basis, which must also include audited annual financial statements. While a Dispensary License may not be sold, transferred or otherwise conveyed, Dispensary License holders typically contract with third parties to provide various services related to the ongoing operation, maintenance and governance of its dispensary and/or cultivation facility so long as such contracts do not violate the requirements of the AMMA or the MMJ Program.

 

13


On December 6, 2012, Arizona’s first licensed medical marijuana dispensary opened in Glendale.

In order to qualify to use medical marijuana under the AMMA, a patient is required to have a “debilitating medical condition.” Valid medical conditions include: HIV, cancer, glaucoma, immune deficiency syndrome, hepatitis C, Crohn’s disease, agitation of Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, cachexia/wasting syndrome, muscle spasms, nausea, seizures, severe and chronic pain or another chronic or debilitating condition.

In order for an applicant to receive a Dispensary Registration Certificate (a “Certificate”) they must: (i) fill out an application on the form proscribed by ADHS, (ii) submit the applying entity’s articles of incorporation and by-laws, (iii) submit fingerprints for each principal officer or board member of the applicant for a background check to exclude felonies, (iv) submit a business plan and policies and procedures for inventory control, security, patient education, and patient recordkeeping that are consistent with the AMMA and the Rules to ensure that the dispensary will operate in compliance and (v) designate an Arizona licensed physician as the Medical Director for the dispensary. Certificates are renewed annually so long as the dispensary is in good standing with ADHS and pays the renewal fee and submits an independent third-party financial audit.

Once an applicant has been issued a Certificate, they are allowed to establish one (1) physical retail dispensary location, one (1) cultivation location which is co-located at the dispensary’s retail site (if allowed by local zoning) and one (1) additional off-site cultivation location. None of these sites can be operational, however, until the dispensary receives an approval to operate from ADHS for the applicable site. This approval to operate requires: (i) an application on the ADHS form, (ii) demonstration of compliance with local zoning regulations, (iii) a site plan and floor plan for the applicable property, and (iv) an in-person inspection by ADHS of the applicable location to ensure compliance with the Rules and consistency with the dispensary’s applicable policies and procedures.

On October 24, 2018, Cresco obtained a 100% ownership interest in Arizona Facilities Supply, LLC which includes a vertically integrated cultivation, processing and dispensary operation in Arizona.

The licenses in Arizona are renewed annually. Before expiry, licensees are required to submit a renewal application. While renewals are granted annually, there is no ultimate expiry after which no renewals are permitted. Additionally, in respect of the renewal process, provided that the requisite renewal fees are paid, the renewal application is submitted in a timely manner, and there are no material violations noted against the applicable license, Cresco would expect to receive the applicable renewed license in the ordinary course of business. While Cresco’s compliance controls have been developed to mitigate the risk of any material violations of a license arising, there is no assurance that Arizona Cannabis licenses will be renewed in the future in a timely manner. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations of Arizona Cannabis and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

In November 2020, voters in Arizona passed an adult use marijuana measure to allow for the sale of recreational marijuana in the state.

Nevada Operations

Medical marijuana use was legalized in Nevada by a ballot initiative in 2000. In November 2016, voters in Nevada passed an adult use marijuana measure to allow for the sale of recreational marijuana in the state. The first dispensaries to sell adult-use marijuana began sales in July 2017. The Nevada Department of Taxation (“DOT”) is the regulatory agency overseeing the medical and adult-use cannabis programs. Similar to California, cities and counties in Nevada are allowed to determine the number of local marijuana licenses they will issue.

All marijuana establishments must register with DOT. If applications contain all required information and after vetting by officers, establishments are issued a medical marijuana establishment registration certificate. In a local governmental jurisdiction that issues business licenses, the issuance by DOT of a medical marijuana establishment registration certificate

 

14


is considered provisional until the local government has issued a business license for operation and the establishment is in compliance with all applicable local governmental ordinances. Final registration certificates are valid for a period of one year and are subject to annual renewals after required fees are paid and the business remains in good standing. The renewal periods serve as an update for DOT on the licensee’s status toward active licensure. It is important to note provisional licenses do not permit the operation of any commercial or medical cannabis activity. Only after a provisional licensee has gone through necessary state and local inspections, if applicable, and has received a final registration certificate from DOT may an entity engage in cannabis business operation.

On August 12, 2019, the Company settled its outstanding loan receivable with Lighthouse, which has cannabis operations in Nevada, through receipt of Lighthouse membership units approximating 1.2% ownership of the parent company. The remaining escrow balance was issued as a new secured convertible promissory note convertible, at the Company’s discretion, into additional membership units approximating 1% ownership of the parent company.

New York Operations

The state of New York’s medical cannabis program was introduced in July 2014 when Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the Compassionate Care Act, which legalized medical cannabis oils for patients with certain qualifying conditions. Under this program, five (5) registered organizations (ROs) were licensed to dispense cannabis oil to patients, with the first sale to a patient completed in January 2016. In December 2016, the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) added chronic pain as a qualifying condition and in the month-and-a-half following the addition of chronic pain, the number of registered patients increased by 18%. In August 2017, the NYSDOH granted licenses to five (5) additional registered organizations.

In November 2017, Governor Cuomo signed a bill to add PTSD as a qualifying condition, and, in July 2018, the NYSDOH added opioid replacement as a qualifying condition, meaning any condition for which an opioid could be prescribed is now a qualifying condition for medical cannabis. In August 2018, Governor Cuomo, prompted by a NYSDOH study which concluded the “positive effects” of cannabis legalization “outweigh the potential negative impacts”, appointed a group to draft a bill for regulating legal adult-use cannabis sales in New York. During Governor Cuomo’s January 2019 State of the State Address, he announced the proposal of the governmental agency, The Office of Cannabis Management. This agency would regulate and oversee the state’s medical marijuana program, adult-use program and hemp program. The executive director of this agency would have the authority to grant ROs currently registered and in good standing with the NYSDOH, the ability to be licensed to cultivate, process or sell adult-use cannabis and cannabis products.

Each RO license allows for the cultivation, processing, and dispensing of medical cannabis products. Each RO is permitted to open four (4) dispensaries in NYSDOH-designated regions throughout the state, and one (1) cultivation/processing facility. Permitted products include oil-based formulations (i.e., vaporizer cartridges, tinctures and capsules), and ground-flower sold in tamper-proof vessels. Each RO is required to cultivate and process all medical cannabis products they dispense; however, wholesale transactions are permitted with approval from the state and home delivery is now permitted.

All cultivation/processing and dispensing establishments must register with the NYSDOH pursuant to Public Health Law §3365(9). Registrations issued by NYSDOH are valid for a two-year period. As embodied in New York Codes, Rules and Regulations §1004.7, an application to renew such registrations must be filed with the NYSDOH between four and six months prior to the expiration date, must include information prepared in the manner and detail as the commissioner may require, and should be accompanied by application fees and registration fees. Applications completed in accordance with §1004.7 would be expected to receive the applicable renewed license in a timely manner. While Cresco’s compliance controls have been developed to mitigate the risk of any material violations of a license arising, there is no assurance that New York cannabis licenses will be renewed in the future in a timely manner. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations of New York cannabis and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

On October 8, 2019, the Company closed the acquisition of GSC, the parent entity of Valley Ag, for consideration that consisted of cash, deferred consideration, equity and contingent consideration based upon the achievement or occurrence of certain milestones or events, all totaling $129.6 million. Valley Ag is one of the ten holders of a vertically integrated license from NYSDOH allowing for the cultivation and processing of medical cannabis as well as the establishment of four (4) medical cannabis dispensaries in the state of New York.

 

15


Through the aforementioned agreements and regulatory approval, Cresco now has a license for a cultivation and manufacturing facility within the state of New York, as well as four (4) dispensary locations strategically located across the state. These four (4) locations are branded as Sunnyside* dispensaries. Valley Ag has successfully renewed their initial licenses and all licenses are, as of the date hereof, active with the State of New York.

Massachusetts Operations

The Massachusetts medical cannabis market was established through “An Act for the Humanitarian Medical Use of Marijuana” in November 2012 when voters passed Ballot Question 3 “Massachusetts Medical Marijuana Initiative” with 63% of the vote. The first Massachusetts dispensary opened in June 2015 and by November 2016, Massachusetts voters legalized adult-use cannabis by passing ballot Question 4—Legalize Marijuana with 54% of the vote. In July 2017, Governor Baker signed legislation that would lay the groundwork for the state’s adult-use market. The Cannabis Control Commission (the state’s regulatory body which creates regulations for both the medical and adult-use market) aimed to officially launch adult-use sales on July 1, 2018, but stumbling blocks such as a lack of licensed testing labs and disagreements between officials and businesses had slowed the rollout, as sales for adult-use cannabis officially began in November 2018.

The Cannabis Control Commission oversees the medical and adult-use cannabis programs. Each medical licensee must be vertically integrated and may have up to two (2) locations. Licensed medical dispensaries are given priority in adult-use licensing. Adult-use cultivators will be grouped into 11 tiers of production (ranging from up to 5,000 square feet to no larger than 100,000 square feet) and regulators will move a licensee down to a lower tier if that licensee has not shown an ability to sell at least 70% of what it produced. Medical dispensaries that wish to add the ability to sell cannabis products to nonpatients will be required to reserve 35% of their inventory or the six-month average of their medical cannabis sales for medical cannabis patients. In order to achieve an adult-use license, a prospective licensee must first sign a “Host Community Agreement” with the town in which it wishes to locate. Roughly two-thirds of municipalities in the state have a ban or moratorium in place that prohibits cannabis businesses from operating within their jurisdiction. In both the medical and adult-use markets, extracted oils, edibles, and flower products are permitted, as well as wholesaling.

On or about November 19, 2018, Cresco entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the shares and membership interests, as applicable, of HHH and an affiliated real estate entity for consideration consisting of cash and the assumption of certain indebtedness. HHH holds a final certificate of registration from the State of Massachusetts Department of Health that allows for cultivation, manufacturing and processing, and the establishment and operation of a medical cannabis dispensary in Fall River, Massachusetts. The final certificate of registration allows HHH the ability to apply for up to two (2) additional such licenses. HHH holds a final license from the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission that allows for cultivation, manufacturing and processing, and the establishment and operation of an adult-use cannabis dispensary in Fall River, Massachusetts. On October 1, 2019, Cresco Labs, LLC acquired HHH via certain agreements giving it operational control before cash consideration was settled. In August 2019, HHH entered into a host community agreement with the municipality of Fall River to allow for the siting of an adult-use cannabis dispensary. On February 7, 2020, the Company announced the legal close of the acquisition and cash funding of $27.5 million. The closing coincided with state approval allowing recreational cannabis sales at the Company’s Fall River dispensary.

Registration certificates are valid for a period of one year and are subject to annual renewals after required fees are paid and the business remains in good standing. Renewal requests are typically communicated through email from the Massachusetts Cannabis Commission and include a renewal form. While Cresco’s compliance controls have been developed to mitigate the risk of any material violations of a license arising, there is no assurance that Massachusetts cannabis licenses will be renewed in the future in a timely manner. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations of Massachusetts cannabis and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

On July 1, 2020, the Company announced that it had completed the sale of its Falls River, MA property to IIP. The sale was for consideration equal to approximately $29 million, which includes $21 million in funding for additional tenant

 

16


improvements. Concurrent with the closing of the sale, the Company entered into a long-term, triple-net lease agreement with IIP and will continue to operate the property as a licensed cannabis cultivation, processing and dispensing facility upon completion of redevelopment. The property represents approximately 50,000 square feet of industrial space in aggregate.

Michigan Operations

In November 2008, Michigan residents approved the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act (the “MMMA”) to provide a legal framework for a safe and effective medical marijuana program. In September 2016, the Michigan Senate passed the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act (the “MMFLA”) and the Marihuana Tracking Act (the “MTA” and together with the MMMA and the MMFLA, the “Michigan Cannabis Regulations”) to provide a comprehensive licensing and tracking scheme, respectively, for the medical marijuana program. Additionally, the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs and its licensing board (“LARA”) has supplemented the Michigan Cannabis Regulations with “Emergency Rules” to further clarify the regulatory landscape surrounding the medical marijuana program. LARA is the main regulatory authority for the licensing of marijuana businesses.

Under the MMFLA, LARA administrates five (5) types of “state operating licenses” for medical marijuana businesses: (a) a “grower” license, (b) a “processor” license, (c) a “secure transporter” license, (d) a “provisioning center” license and (e) a “safety compliance facility” license. There are no stated limits on the number of licenses that can be made available on a state level; however, LARA has discretion over the approval of applications and municipalities can pass additional restrictions.

On November 6, 2018, Michigan voters approved Proposal 1, to make marijuana legal under state and local law for adults 21 years of age or older and to control the commercial production and distribution of marijuana under a system that licenses, regulates, and taxes the businesses involved. The act will be known as the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act. In accordance with Proposal 1, LARA began accepting applications for retail (recreational) dispensaries on November 1, 2019.

On March 25, 2019, the Company announced that its affiliate had completed the most comprehensive portion of Michigan’s application process, being pre-qualified for a cultivation and processing license by the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Medical Marihuana Licensing Board. The pre-qualification represents the authorization of the entity to move forward with the licensing process for its intended facilities.

On November 13, 2019, the state’s Marijuana Regulatory Agency announced any existing medically licensed businesses would be allowed to sell recreational-use cannabis beginning December 1, 2019. On March 5, 2020, the Company’s affiliate was issued a medical processing license to begin manufacturing and processing flower into edible medical marijuana products and/or medical marijuana-infused products. Michigan has approximately 250,000 medical marijuana patients, which represents the fourth (4th) largest medical marijuana patient base in the United States.

On March 16, 2020, the Company’s affiliate received pre-qualification to operate in the adult-use market and received an adult-use processor license on June 22, 2020. All Michigan marijuana licenses are renewed annually through the Marijuana Regulatory Agency after the required fees are paid and the business remains in good standing. In addition, a sworn statement is required that states that the business is in good standing and will uphold a continuing reporting duty. The renewal fees are to be determined by the amount of gross weight of marijuana product transferred during the past year. While Cresco’s compliance controls have been developed to mitigate the risk of any material violations of a license arising, there is no assurance that Michigan cannabis licenses will be renewed in the future in a timely manner. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process could impede the ongoing or planned operations of Michigan cannabis and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

On April 22, 2020, Cresco Michigan and related parties of the Company executed an amended and restated operating agreement which increased Cresco’s related parties’ ownership from 50% to 85% in exchange for a capital commitment of $25 million. According to IFRS 10, an investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.

 

17


Provisions contained in the operating agreement entitle related parties of the Company to a majority of profit and gives the Company control of Cresco Michigan and rights and exposure to variable returns. The Company has the right to direct all the relevant activities of and has the full decision-making power over Cresco Michigan.

On April 23, 2020, the Company announced that it had completed the sale of its Marshall, MI property to IIP. The previously announced sale was for consideration equal to approximately $16 million, which included $11 million in funding for tenant improvements. Concurrent with the closing of the sale, Cresco Labs entered into a long-term, triple-net lease agreement with IIP and will continue to operate the property as a licensed cannabis cultivation and processing facility upon completion of redevelopment. The property represents approximately 100,000 square feet of industrial space in aggregate. This sale marks Cresco’s fifth (5th) completed sale-and-leaseback transaction, the fourth (4th) with IIP.

Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenue

We derive the majority of our revenue from wholesale of cannabis products to dispensary locations which, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, represents approximately 59% and 58% of our revenue, respectively. Revenue from company-owned retail dispensary locations, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 represents the remaining 41% and 42%, respectively. Retail revenue includes medical and adult-use cannabis sales in the United States, along with nicotine vape sales in Canada.

Gross Profit

Gross profit is calculated as revenue less cost of sales—production costs, which includes cultivation costs of biological assets; realized changes in fair value of inventory sold; and unrealized gain on changes in fair value of biological assets. Cost of sales—production costs includes the direct costs attributable to the production of the products sold and is comprised of the following:

 

   

Direct labor costs: These expenses include all salaries, benefits, and taxes for all employees at the facility.

 

   

Direct supplies: The total direct material cost for maintenance of the plants, the supplies and nutrients, and the production expenses and equipment used to process medical marijuana.

 

   

Facility expenses: The facility expense for the cultivation operations is the cost for the facility, utilities, property taxes, maintenance, and costs associated with monitoring the security systems.

 

   

Other operating expenses: These expenses include all costs associated with the facility itself including: insurance, community outreach programs, professional services, uniforms, employee training programs, tracking and inventory management systems, product testing, distribution, business development, and information technology and license renewal fees.

Cultivation costs of biological assets are comprised of cannabis plant costs and are immediately expensed in cost of sales—production costs in the period in which they are incurred.

In addition to market fluctuations, cannabis costs are affected by various state regulations that limit the sourcing and procurement of cannabis products. The changes in regulatory environments may create fluctuations in gross profit over comparative periods.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)

SG&A expenses consist mainly of salary and benefits costs of executive and back office employees, office and retail operating costs, excise taxes, advertising and marketing, consulting and professional fees, share-based compensation, technology, insurance, travel and entertainment and business expansion costs.

Selling costs generally correlate to revenue. As a percentage of sales, we expect SG&A costs to decrease as our business continues to grow. The decrease is expected to be driven primarily by efficiencies associated with scaling the business.

Income Taxes

The Company, which is a Canadian corporation, is classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a United States corporation under Section 7874 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). The Company is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates and, consequently, income tax expense is a function of the allocation of taxable income by jurisdiction and the various activities that impact the timing of taxable events. As the Company operates in the legal cannabis industry, the Company is subject to the limits of IRC Section 280E under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E and a higher effective tax rate than most industries.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

Operational gross profit, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-IFRS measures and do not have standardized definitions under IFRS. The following information provides reconciliations of the supplemental non-IFRS financial measures, presented herein to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS. The Company has provided the non-IFRS financial measures, which are not calculated or presented in accordance with IFRS, as supplemental information and in addition to the financial measures that are calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These supplemental non-IFRS financial measures are presented because management has evaluated the financial results both including and excluding the adjusted items and believe that the supplemental non-IFRS financial measures presented provide additional perspectives and insights when analyzing the core operating performance of the business. These supplemental non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should only be considered in conjunction with, the IFRS financial measures presented herein.

SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Company reports results of operations of its affiliates from the date that control commences, either through the purchase of the business, through a management agreement or other arrangements which grant such control. The following selected financial information includes only the results of operations after the Company established control of its affiliates. Accordingly, the information included below may not be representative of the results of operations if such affiliates had included their results of operations for the entire reporting period.

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $153.3 million, an increase of $117.1 million, or 323%, compared to revenue of $36.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in revenue was driven by the acquisitions of Origin House, Valley Ag and HHH, as well as continued growth in the states where the Company operates. Organic growth was primarily attributable to increased cultivation capacity and states with recently adopted adult-use laws, such as Illinois, as well as the benefit of additional dispensary locations.

Cost of Sales—Production Costs, Gross Profit, and Operational Gross Profit (non-IFRS)

Cost of sales—production costs for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $74.1 million, an increase of $50.7 million compared to cost of sales—production costs of $23.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to the Origin House, Valley Ag and HHH acquisitions, increased cultivation capacity in Illinois and Pennsylvania, and other organic growth.

Gross profit increased primarily due to the increase in revenue from the prior-year quarter. Operational gross profit is a non-IFRS measure that reflects revenue less costs related to products sold in the period, by excluding the net impact of the fair value of biological assets; cultivation costs immediately expensed under IAS 41; the fair value mark-up for acquired inventory; and other non-core items. Operational gross profit for the third quarter of 2020 was $80.6 million, compared to an operational gross profit of $17.1 million for the prior year. The increase of $63.5 million from the prior year was primarily driven by the addition of Origin House, Valley Ag and HHH, greater scale in the Company’s established Illinois and California markets, and other organic growth. Operational gross profit percentage of approximately 52.6% was higher when compared with the prior year as the benefit of operational efficiencies in the Company’s more established markets exceeded the impact of emerging and recently acquired business, where the Company is focused on footprint expansion and launching of Cresco-branded products.

Total Expenses

Total expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $52.6 million, an increase of $26.1 million compared to total expenses of $26.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in total expenses was attributable to the acquisition of Origin House, Valley Ag, and HHH, depreciation and amortization associated with facilities and licensing in new markets and intangible assets, as well as significant investments in our team and operational infrastructure to drive strategic initiatives that better position the Company for future growth. Total expenses as a percentage of revenue have declined as the Company has gained efficiencies with the growth of the business.

Total Other (Expense) Income

Total other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $14.4 million, a change of $16.1 million compared to other income of $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in total other (expense) income was primarily due to higher interest expense, which resulted from the loan agreements the Company entered into and assumed during 2020 as well as higher interest expense for leases, including several sale-leaseback transactions enacted in late 2019 and the first nine months of 2020. The Company also realized mark-to-market losses on certain long-term derivative liabilities due to changes in the Company’s share price and other market factors. See Notes 14 and 17 in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 for more information.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $12.7 million compared to $4.6 million in the prior period. The change was due to higher gross profit and increased amounts of permanently nondeductible expenses under Section 280E related to the expansion of the Company’s business operations through organic growth and acquisitions.

Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA (non-IFRS)

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $4.9 million, compared to a loss of $8.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Higher gross profit in the current period, driven by increased revenue and operational efficiencies, was partially offset by higher operating expenses, interest expense, and current period income tax expense.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS measure which excludes depreciation and amortization, net interest expense, income taxes, other expense, share-based compensation, immediately expensed cultivation costs, and other non-core items, was $51.9 million and $11.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Excluding the impact of biological assets, adjusted EBITDA was $46.4 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in adjusted EBITDA is due to higher operational gross profit partially offset by higher operating expenses.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $313.9 million, an increase of $226.7 million, or 260%, compared to revenue of $87.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in revenue was driven by the acquisitions of Origin House, Valley Ag and HHH as well as continued growth in the states where the Company operates. Organic growth was primarily attributable to increased cultivation capacity and states with recently adopted adult-use laws, as well as continued retail expansion.

Cost of Sales—Production Costs, Gross Profit, and Operational Gross Profit (non-IFRS)

Cost of sales—production costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $181.2 million, an increase of $126.0 million compared to cost of sales—production costs of $55.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to the Origin House, Valley Ag and HHH acquisitions, increased cultivation capacity in Illinois and Pennsylvania, and other organic growth.

Gross profit increased primarily due to the increase in revenue from the prior year as well as unrealized gains on biological assets. Operational gross profit for the first nine months of 2020, a non-IFRS measure which excludes the impact of cultivation costs immediately expensed; biological assets accounting; expansion, relaunch and rebranding costs; COVID-19 related expenses; and the fair value mark-up for acquired inventory was $156.8 million, compared to an operational gross profit of $40.8 million for the prior year. Operational gross profit reflects revenue less costs related to products sold in the period. The increase of $116.0 million from the prior year was primarily driven by the addition of Origin House, Valley Ag and HHH, greater scale in the Company’s established Illinois and California markets, and other organic growth. Operational gross profit percentage of approximately 49.9% was higher when compared with the prior year, as the benefit of operational efficiencies in the Company’s more established markets exceeded the impact of emerging and recently acquired business, where the Company is focused on footprint expansion and launching of Cresco-branded products. The Company expects margin expansion to continue as these operations scale and it receives the full benefit of its capacity expansions in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Total Expenses

Total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $154.4 million, an increase of $89.6 million compared to total expenses of $64.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in total expenses was attributable to the acquisition of Origin House, Valley Ag, and HHH, acquisition and other non-core costs, as well as significant investments in our team and operational infrastructure to drive strategic initiatives that better position the Company for future growth. Total expenses as a percentage of revenue have declined as the Company has gained efficiencies with the growth of the business.

Total Other Expense

Total other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $17.6 million, an increase of $16.1 million compared to other expense of $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in total other expense was primarily due to higher interest expense resulting from the loan agreements the Company entered into and assumed during 2020, and higher interest expense associated with newly entered lease agreements in 2020 which includes sale and leaseback of previously owned buildings and facilities, partially offset by unrealized gains recognized on financial instruments carried at fair value due to changes in the Company’s share price and other market factors. See Notes 14, 17, and 20 in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 for more information.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $29.5 million compared to $10.2 million in the prior period. The change was due to higher gross profit and increased amounts of permanently nondeductible expenses under Section 280E related to the expansion of the Company’s business operations through organic growth and acquisitions.

Net Loss and Adjusted EBITDA (non-IFRS)

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $13.2 million, compared to $20.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Higher gross profit in the current year, generated by increased revenue, operational efficiencies, and unrealized gains on fair value of biological assets, was partially offset by higher operating expenses and current period income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS measure which excludes depreciation and amortization, net interest expense, income taxes, other expense, share-based compensation, immediately expensed cultivation costs, and other non-core items, was $121.6 million and $29.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Excluding the impact of biological assets, adjusted EBITDA was $66.1 million and $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in adjusted EBITDA is due to higher operational gross profit partially offset by higher operating expense.    

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

As of September 30, 2020, the Company held $57.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, $1.9 million in restricted cash and $13.4 million of working capital compared to December 31, 2019, where we held $49.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, $5.1 million in restricted cash and $9.2 million of working capital. The increase of $4.2 million in working capital was primarily due to an increase in inventory, biological assets, accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents. A decrease in short-term deferred consideration, contingent consideration and other payables was offset by increased short-term borrowings, the current portion of lease liabilities and income tax payable between periods. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the $92.4 million balance of Tranche A of the Term Loan was reclassified to short-term borrowings. The Company is currently in discussions to restructure the Term Loan and has the ability to increase the principal amount to $200 million.

 

25


We expect that our cash on hand and cash flows from operations, along with private and/or public financing, will be adequate to meet our capital requirements and operational needs for the next 12 months.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $32.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $13.6 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $18.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to timing of working capital requirements in the current period as well as higher non-core, acquisition and integration-related costs.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $35.9 million for the nine months September 30, 2020, a decrease of cash used of $50.0 million compared to $85.9 million used in investing for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to proceeds received from sale and leaseback transactions in the current year and a reduction in loans made to pending acquisitions, partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures as the Company continues to expand its operations.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $73.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $25.6 million compared to $48.3 million of cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt during the period partially offset by a reduction in funds from equity raises and higher distributions to non-controlling interests.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s financial instruments are held at amortized cost (adjusted for impairments or expected credit losses, as applicable) or fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). The carrying values of financial instruments held at amortized cost approximate their fair values as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 due to their nature and relatively short maturity date. Financial assets and liabilities with embedded derivative features are carried at FVTPL.

Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs to fair value measurements. The three levels of hierarchy are:

 

Level 1 –

  Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 –

  Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 –

  Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

There have been no transfers between fair value levels valuing these assets during the year.

Financial Risk Management

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board and Company management mitigate these risks by assessing, monitoring and approving the Company’s risk management processes:

 

  i.

Credit and Banking Risk

Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The maximum credit exposure at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and loans receivable. The Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to its customers or loan counterparties, based primarily on cannabis industry growth in our key markets and the low interest rate environment. Although all deposited cash is placed with U.S. financial institutions in good standing with regulatory authorities, changes in U.S. federal banking laws related to the deposit and holding of funds derived from activities related to the cannabis industry have passed the House of Representatives, but has not yet been voted on within the Senate. Given that current U.S. federal law provides that the production and possession of cannabis is illegal, there is a strong argument that banks cannot accept and deposit funds from businesses involved with the cannabis industry.

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 12, 2020 and has caused significant economic uncertainty and consequently it is difficult to reliably measure the potential impact of this uncertainty on our future financial results.

 

  ii.

Asset Forfeiture Risk

Because the cannabis industry remains illegal under U.S. federal law, any property owned by participants in the cannabis industry which are either used in the course of conducting such business, or are the proceeds of such business, could be subject to seizure by law enforcement and subsequent civil asset forfeiture. Even if the owner of the property were never charged with a crime, the property in question could still be seized and subject to an administrative proceeding by which, with minimal due process, it could be subject to forfeiture.

 

  iii.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities) of $13.4 million, which reflects the Term Loan and OCN Loan contractual repayment dates less than twelve months from the balance sheet date. Unless refinanced or restructured, this debt will mature and require repayment, which could have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and cash flows. Management is evaluating debt repayment or refinancing options, including but not limited to, evaluating the cost of capital and terms, regulatory changes and market conditions, but there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain financing or on terms favorable to us. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may arise from this or the resulting effects of this matter.

As included in our unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, our revenues, results of operations and operating cash flows have improved. The Company is currently in discussions to restructure the Term Loan and has the ability to increase the principal amount to $200 million with mutual agreement from lenders. In December 2019, the Company entered into the ATM Offering for subordinated voting shares in the Company to be issued at the discretion of management to raise up to C$55 million to fund corporate operations. See Note 11 in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2020 for further information. Additionally, the Company expects to receive tenant improvement allowances of $54.3 million to fund further expansion.

 

30


Information about tenant improvement allowances and the maturity analysis for lease obligations is located in Note 7 in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2020. The Company will continue to raise capital as needed to fund operations and expansion.

 

  iv.

Market Risk

 

  a.

Currency Risk

The operating results and financial position of the Company are reported in U.S. dollars. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are denominated primarily in U.S. dollars. However, from time to time, some of the Company’s financial transactions are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The results of the Company’s operations are subject to currency transaction and translation risks. The Company recorded a $0.3 million and a $0.1 million foreign exchange loss during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The Company recorded an $18 thousand and a $28 thousand foreign exchange loss during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. See Note 17 for additional detail.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.

 

  b.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. An increase or decrease in the Company’s incremental borrowing rate by 10% would result in an associated increase or decrease in Deferred consideration, contingent consideration and other payables and Interest expense, net of $0.2 million. The Company’s effective interest rates for its Term Loan range from 16.1% to 17.0% and the stated interest rate ranges from 12.7% to 13.2% based on the term elected by the lender. The Company’s weighted average effective interest rate for its Opaskwayak Cree Nation loan is 18.8% and its stated interest rate is 10.0%. See Note 14 of the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for further information.

 

  c.

Price Risk

Price risk is the risk of variability in fair value due to movements in equity or market prices. The Company is subject to price risk related to derivative liabilities and contingent consideration that are valued based on the Company’s own stock price. An increase or decrease in stock price by 10% would result in an associated increase or decrease in fair value and Other (expense) income, net of $3.6 million.

 

  d.

Tax Risk

Tax risk is the risk of changes in the tax environment that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. Currently, state licensed marijuana businesses are assessed a comparatively high effective federal tax rate due to section 280E, which bars businesses from deducting all expenses except their cost of sales when calculating federal tax liability. Any increase in tax levies resulting from additional tax measures may have a further adverse effect on the operations of the Company, while any decrease in such tax levies will be beneficial to future operations. See Note 24 of the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the Company’s disclosure of uncertain tax positions.

 

  e.

Regulatory Risk

Regulatory risk pertains to the risk that the Company’s business objectives are contingent, in part, upon the compliance of regulatory requirements. Due to the nature of the industry, the Company recognizes

 

31


that regulatory requirements are more stringent and punitive in nature. Any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain regulatory approvals can significantly delay operational and product development and can have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company is cognizant of the advent of regulatory changes occurring in the cannabis industry on the city, state and national levels. Although regulatory outlook on the cannabis industry has been moving in a positive trend, the Company is aware that unforeseen regulatory changes can have a material impact on the goals and operations of the business as a whole.

CRESCO LABS CLOSES FINANCING WITH LENDERS TO EXTEND MATURITY OF SENIOR SECURED

TERM LOAN AND INCREASE FACILITY TO $200 MILLION

CHICAGO—December 14th, 2020—Cresco Labs (CSE:CL) (OTCQX:CRLBF) (“Cresco” or the “Company”), one of the largest vertically integrated multistate cannabis operators in the United States, announced today the closing of the agreement with lenders to extend the maturity of its senior secured term loan (the “Senior Loan”) and exercise of the mutual option to increase the loan size to US$200 million. All lenders have agreed to extend the Senior Loan maturity to January 23th, 2023 at a reduced interest rate of 12% per annum. Additionally, under the terms of the new agreement, Cresco Labs is provided with greater prepayment optionality.

The increased Senior Loan proceeds will be used to fund the expansion of Cresco Labs’ operations in its strategic 9-state footprint and capitalize on other targeted growth initiatives in key markets. Of the US$100 million increase to the Senior Loan, US$85 million has been provided by existing lenders, as well as several new, large institutional investors to the Company. Additionally, US$15 million of the short-term liability with Opaskwayak Cree Nation was consolidated into the Senior Loan under the terms of the new agreement.

“As a company, we continue to display our responsible capital agenda,” said Charlie Bachtell, CEO and Co-Founder of Cresco Labs. “Today we have secured funding to take advantage of the growth opportunities in front of us, improved our cost of capital in a non-dilutive manner, and given ourselves enhanced flexibility in a dynamic capital environment. This agreement to extend and increase the Senior Loan reflects the strong growth and profitability that Cresco Labs has demonstrated and the confidence our investors have in our differentiated strategy. We too believe in the tremendous value of our organization and our ability to raise the standard of execution for this industry.”

2.12

Tender Offers

So long as any Common Units not owned by Cresco US Corp. or its affiliates are outstanding or any Redeemable Corporation Shares not owned by Pubco or its affiliates are outstanding, in the event that a tender offer, share exchange offer, issuer bid, take-over bid, arrangement, business combination or similar transaction with respect to Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares and/or Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares (an “Offer”) is proposed by Pubco or is proposed to Pubco or its shareholders and is recommended by the board of directors of Pubco, or is otherwise effected or to be effected with the consent or approval of the board of directors of Pubco, and the Common Units are not redeemed by the LLC or purchased by Cresco US Corp. or Pubco pursuant to the terms of the A&R LLC Agreement or the Redeemable Corporation Shares are not redeemed by Cresco US Corp. or purchased by Pubco pursuant to the terms of the articles of incorporation of Cresco US Corp., Pubco will use its reasonable efforts in good faith to take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit holders of Common Units (other than Cresco US Corp. and its affiliates) and Redeemable Corporation Shares (other than Pubco and its affiliates) to participate in such Offer to the same extent and on an economically equivalent basis as the holders of Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares and/or Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares, without discrimination.

ARTICLE II.

DETERMINATION OF REALIZED TAX BENEFIT

Section 2.1 Basis Adjustments; Section 754 Election.

(a) Basis Adjustments. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (A) each Redemption shall be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a direct purchase of Common Units by the Company (or PC Corp followed by a corresponding contribution to the Company by PC Corp) from the applicable Member pursuant to Section 707(a)(2)(B) of the Code and (B) each Exchange will give rise to Basis Adjustments. In connection with any Exchange, the Parties acknowledge and agree that pursuant to applicable law PC Corp’s share

 

9


of the tax basis in the Reference Assets shall be increased (or decreased) by the excess (or deficiency), if any, of (A) the sum of (x) the Market Value of Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or the cash transferred to a Member pursuant to an Exchange as payment for the Units, (y) the amount of payments made pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Exchange and (z) the amount of liabilities allocated to the Common Units acquired pursuant to the Exchange, over (B) PC Corp’s proportionate share of the tax basis of the Reference Assets immediately after the Exchange attributable to the Common Units exchanged, determined as if each relevant member of the Company Group (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company) remains in existence as an entity for tax purposes and no member of the Company Group (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company) made the election provided by Section 754 of the Code. For the avoidance of doubt, payments made under this Agreement shall not be treated as resulting in a Basis Adjustment to the extent such payments are treated as Imputed Interest or Default Rate Interest. Further, the Parties intend that Basis Adjustments be calculated in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.743-1.

(b) Section 754 Election. In its capacity as the sole manager of the Company, PC Corp will ensure that, on and after the date hereof and continuing throughout the term of this Agreement, the Company (including any successors to the Company as a result of terminations occurring pursuant to Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code) will have in effect an election under Section  754 of the Code (and under any similar provisions of applicable U.S. state or local law) for each Taxable Year.

Section 2.2 Basis Schedules. Within one hundred fifty (150) calendar days after the filing of the U.S. federal income Tax Return of PC Corp for each relevant Taxable Year, PC Corp shall deliver to the Members a schedule (the “Basis Schedule”) that shows, in reasonable detail as necessary in order to understand the calculations performed under this Agreement: (a) the Non-Adjusted Tax Basis of the Reference Assets as of each applicable Exchange Date; (b) the Basis Adjustments with respect to the Reference Assets as a result of the relevant Exchanges effected in such Taxable Year, calculated (I) in the aggregate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Exchanges by all Members) and (II) solely with respect to Exchanges by the applicable Member; (c) the period (or periods) over which the Reference Assets are amortizable and/or depreciable; and (d) the period (or periods) over which each Basis Adjustment is amortizable and/or depreciable. The Basis Schedule will become final and binding on the Parties pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.4(a) and may be amended by the Parties pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.4(b).

Section 2.3 Tax Benefit Schedules.

(a) Tax Benefit Schedule. Within one hundred fifty (150) calendar days after the filing of the U.S. federal income Tax Return of PC Corp for any Taxable Year in which there is a Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment, PC Corp shall provide to the Members a schedule showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year (a “Tax Benefit Schedule”). The Tax Benefit Schedule will become final and binding on the Parties pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.4(a), and may be amended by the Parties pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.4(b).

(b) Applicable Principles. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for each Taxable Year is intended to measure the decrease or increase in the Actual Tax Liability of PC Corp for such Taxable Year attributable to the Basis Adjustments and Imputed Interest, as determined using a “with and without” methodology described in Section 2.4(a). Carryovers or carrybacks of any tax item attributable to any Basis Adjustment or Imputed Interest shall be considered to be subject to the rules of the

 

10


Code and the Treasury Regulations or the appropriate provisions of U.S. state and local tax law, as applicable, governing the use, limitation and expiration of carryovers or carrybacks of the relevant type. If a carryover or carryback of any tax item includes a portion that is attributable to a Basis Adjustment or Imputed Interest (a “TRA Portion”) and another portion that is not (a “Non-TRA Portion”), such portions shall be considered to be used in accordance with the “with and without” methodology so that: (i) the amount of any Non-TRA Portion is deemed utilized first, followed by the amount of any TRA Portion (with the TRA Portion being applied on a proportionate basis consistent with the provisions of Section 3.3(a)); and (ii) in the case of a carryback of a Non-TRA Portion, such carryback shall not affect the original “with and without” calculation made in the prior Taxable Year. The Parties agree that, subject to the second to last sentence of Section 2.1(a), all Tax Benefit Payments attributable to an Exchange will be treated as subsequent upward purchase price adjustments that give rise to further Basis Adjustments for PC Corp beginning in the Taxable Year of payment, and as a result, such additional Basis Adjustments will be incorporated into such Taxable Year continuing for future Taxable Years until any incremental Basis Adjustment benefits with respect to a Tax Benefit Payment equals an immaterial amount.

Section 2.4 Procedures; Amendments.

(a) Procedures. Each time PC Corp delivers an applicable Schedule to the Members under this Agreement, including any Amended Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 2.4(b), but excluding any Early Termination Schedule or amended Early Termination Schedule delivered pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 4.2, PC Corp shall also: (x) deliver supporting schedules and work papers, as determined by PC Corp or as reasonably requested by any Member, that provide a reasonable level of detail regarding the data and calculations that were relevant for purposes of preparing the Schedule; (y) deliver a PC Corp Letter supporting such Schedule; and (z) allow the Members and their advisors to have reasonable access to the appropriate representatives, as determined by PC Corp or as reasonably requested by the Members, at PC Corp and the Advisory Firm in connection with a review of such Schedule. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, PC Corp shall ensure that any Tax Benefit Schedule that is delivered to the Members, along with any supporting schedules and work papers, provides a reasonably detailed presentation of the calculation of the Actual Tax Liability of PC Corp for the relevant Taxable Year (the “with” calculation) and the Hypothetical Tax Liability of PC Corp for such Taxable Year (the “without” calculation), and identifies any material assumptions or operating procedures or principles that were used for purposes of such calculations. An applicable Schedule or amendment thereto shall become final and binding on the Parties thirty (30) calendar days from the date on which the Members first received the applicable Schedule or amendment thereto unless:

(i) a Member, within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving the applicable Schedule or amendment thereto, provides PC Corp with (A) written notice of a material objection to such Schedule that is made in good faith and that sets forth in reasonable detail such Member’s material objection (an “Objection Notice”) and (B) a letter from a Member Advisory Firm in support of such Objection Notice; or

(ii) each Member provides a written waiver of its right to deliver an Objection Notice within the time period described in clause (i) above, in which case such Schedule or amendment thereto becomes binding on the date the waiver from all Members is received by PC Corp.

In the event that a Member timely delivers an Objection Notice pursuant to clause (i) above, and if the Parties, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in the Objection

 

11


Notice within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by PC Corp of the Objection Notice, PC Corp and the Member shall employ the reconciliation procedures as described in Section 7.9 of this Agreement (the “Reconciliation Procedures”). For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the expense of preparing and obtaining the letter from a Member Advisory Firm referenced in clause (i) above shall be borne solely by the relevant Member and neither PC Corp nor the Company shall have any liability with respect to such letter or any of the expenses associated with its preparation and delivery.

(b) Amended Schedule. The applicable Schedule for any Taxable Year may be amended from time to time by PC Corp: (i) in connection with a Determination affecting such Schedule; (ii) to correct inaccuracies in the Schedule identified as a result of the receipt of additional factual information relating to a Taxable Year after the date the Schedule was originally provided to the Member; (iii) to comply with an Expert’s determination under the Reconciliation Procedures applicable to this Agreement; (iv) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to a carryback or carryforward of a loss or other Tax item to such Taxable Year; (v) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to an amended Tax Return filed for such Taxable Year; or (vi) to adjust a Basis Schedule to take into account any Tax Benefit Payments made pursuant to this Agreement (any such Schedule, an “Amended Schedule”).

ARTICLE III.

TAX BENEFIT PAYMENTS

Section 3.1 Timing and Amount of Tax Benefit Payments.

(a) Timing of Payments. Subject to Sections 3.2 and 3.3, within three (3) Business Days following the date on which each Tax Benefit Schedule that is required to be delivered by PC Corp to the Members pursuant to Section 2.3(a) of this Agreement becomes final in accordance with Section 2.4(a) of this Agreement (such date, the “Final Payment Date” in respect of any Tax Benefit Payment), PC Corp shall pay to each relevant Member the Tax Benefit Payment as determined pursuant to Section 3.1(b). Each such Tax Benefit Payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account previously designated by such Members or as otherwise agreed by PC Corp and such Members. For the avoidance of doubt, the Members shall not be required under any circumstances to return any portion of any Tax Benefit Payment previously paid by PC Corp to the Members (including any portion of any Early Termination Payment).

(b) Amount of Payments. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Tax Benefit Payment” with respect to any Member means an amount, not less than zero, equal to the sum of: (i) the Net Tax Benefit that is Attributable to such Member and (ii) the Actual Interest Amount.

(i) Attributable. A Net Tax Benefit is “Attributable” to a Member to the extent that it is derived from any Basis Adjustment or Imputed Interest that is attributable to an Exchange undertaken by or with respect to such Member.

(ii) Net Tax Benefit. The “Net Tax Benefit” for a Taxable Year equals the amount of the excess, if any, of (x) 85% of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit Attributable to such Member as of the end of such Taxable Year over (y) the aggregate amount of all Tax Benefit Payments previously made to such Member under this Section 3.1. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit as of the end of any Taxable Year is less than the aggregate amount of all Tax Benefit Payments previously made to a Member, such Member shall not be required to return any portion of any Tax Benefit Payment previously made by PC Corp to such Member.

 

12


(iii) Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit. The “Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit” for a Taxable Year equals the cumulative amount of Realized Tax Benefits for all Taxable Years of PC Corp, up to and including such Taxable Year, net of the cumulative amount of Realized Tax Detriments for the same period. The Realized Tax Benefit and Realized Tax Detriment for each Taxable Year shall be determined based on the most recent Tax Benefit Schedule or Amended Schedule, if any, in existence at the time of such determination.

(iv) Realized Tax Benefit. The “Realized Tax Benefit” for a Taxable Year equals the excess, if any, of the Hypothetical Tax Liability over the Actual Tax Liability for such Taxable Year. If all or a portion of the Actual Tax Liability for such Taxable Year arises as a result of an audit or similar proceeding by a Taxing Authority of any Taxable Year, such liability shall not be included in determining the Realized Tax Benefit unless and until there has been a Determination.

(v) Realized Tax Detriment. The “Realized Tax Detriment” for a Taxable Year equals the excess, if any, of the Actual Tax Liability over the Hypothetical Tax Liability for such Taxable Year. If all or a portion of the Actual Tax Liability for such Taxable Year arises as a result of an audit or similar proceeding by a Taxing Authority of any Taxable Year, such liability shall not be included in determining the Realized Tax Detriment unless and until there has been a Determination.

(vi) Imputed Interest. The principles of Sections 1272, 1274, or 483 of the Code, as applicable, and the principles of any similar provision of U.S. state and local law, will apply to cause a portion of any Net Tax Benefit payable by PC Corp to a Member under this Agreement to be treated as imputed interest (“Imputed Interest”). For the avoidance of doubt, the deduction for the amount of Imputed Interest as determined with respect to any Net Tax Benefit payable by PC Corp to a Member shall be excluded in determining the Hypothetical Tax Liability of PC Corp for purposes of calculating Realized Tax Benefits and Realized Tax Detriments pursuant to this Agreement.

(vii) Actual Interest Amount. The “Actual Interest Amount” calculated in respect of the Net Tax Benefit for a Taxable Year will equal the amount of any Extension Rate Interest.

(viii) Extension Rate Interest. The amount of “Extension Rate Interest” calculated in respect of the Net Tax Benefit (including previously accrued Imputed Interest) for a Taxable Year will equal interest calculated at the Agreed Rate from the due date (without extensions) for filing the U.S. federal income Tax Return of PC Corp for such Taxable Year until the date on which PC Corp makes a timely Tax Benefit Payment to the Member on or before the Final Payment Date as determined pursuant to Section 3.1(a).

(ix) Default Rate Interest. In the event that PC Corp does not make timely payment of all or any portion of a Tax Benefit Payment to a Member on or before the Final Payment Date as determined pursuant to Section 3.1(a), the amount of “Default Rate Interest” calculated in respect of the Net Tax Benefit (including previously accrued Imputed Interest and Extension Rate Interest) for a Taxable Year will equal interest calculated at the Default Rate from the Final Payment Date for a Tax Benefit Payment as determined pursuant to Section 3.1(a) until the date on which PC Corp makes such

 

13


Tax Benefit Payment to such Member. For the avoidance of doubt, any deduction for any Default Rate Interest as determined with respect to any Net Tax Benefit payable by PC Corp to a Member shall be included in the Hypothetical Tax Liability of PC Corp for purposes of calculating Realized Tax Benefits and Realized Tax Detriments pursuant to this Agreement.

(x) PC Corp and the Members hereby acknowledge and agree that, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the date of any future Exchange that may be subject to this Agreement, the aggregate value of the Tax Benefit Payments cannot be reasonably ascertained for U.S. federal income or other applicable tax purposes.

(c) Interest. The provisions of Section 3.1(b) are intended to operate so that interest will effectively accrue in respect of the Net Tax Benefit for any Taxable Year as follows:

(i) first, at the applicable rate used to determine the amount of Imputed Interest under the Code (from the relevant Exchange Date until the due date (without extensions) for filing the U.S. federal income Tax Return of PC Corp for such Taxable Year);

(ii) second, at the Agreed Rate in respect of any Extension Rate Interest (from the due date (without extensions) for filing the U.S. federal income Tax Return of PC Corp for such Taxable Year until the Final Payment Date for a Tax Benefit Payment as determined pursuant to Section 3.1(a)); and

(iii) third, at the Default Rate in respect of any Default Rate Interest (from the Final Payment Date for a Tax Benefit Payment as determined pursuant to Section 3.1(a) until the date on which PC Corp makes the relevant Tax Benefit Payment to a Member).

Section 3.2 No Duplicative Payments. It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement will not result in the duplicative payment of any amount (including interest) that may be required under this Agreement, and the provisions of this Agreement shall be consistently interpreted and applied in accordance with that intent. For purposes of this Agreement, and also for the avoidance of doubt, no Tax Benefit Payment shall be calculated or made in respect of any estimated tax payments, including, without limitation, any estimated U.S. federal income tax payments.

Section 3.3 Pro-Ration of Payments as Between the Members.

(a) Insufficient Taxable Income. Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.1(b) to the contrary, if the aggregate potential Covered Tax benefit of PC Corp as calculated with respect to the Basis Adjustments and Imputed Interest (in each case, without regard to the Taxable Year of origination) is limited in a particular Taxable Year because PC Corp does not have sufficient actual taxable income, then the available Covered Tax benefit for PC Corp shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to the respective Tax Benefit Payment that would have been payable if PC Corp had in fact had sufficient taxable income so that there had been no such limitation. As an illustration of the intended operation of this Section 3.3(a), if PC Corp had $400 of aggregate potential Covered Tax benefits with respect to the Basis Adjustments and Imputed Interest in a particular Taxable Year (with $100 of such Covered Tax benefits being attributable to Member 1 and $300 of such Covered Tax benefits being attributable to Member 2), such that Member 1 would have potentially been entitled to a Tax Benefit Payment of $85.00 and Member 2 would have been entitled to a Tax Benefit Payment of $255.00 if PC Corp had $400 of taxable income, and if at the same time PC Corp only had $200 of actual taxable income in such Taxable Year, then $50 of the aggregate $200 actual Covered Tax benefit for PC Corp for such

 

14


Taxable Year would be allocated to Member 1 and $150 of the aggregate $200 actual Covered Tax benefit for PC Corp would be allocated to Member 2, such that Member 1 would receive a Tax Benefit Payment of $42.50 and Member 2 would receive a Tax Benefit Payment of $127.50.

(b) Late Payments. If for any reason PC Corp is not able to timely and fully satisfy its payment obligations under this Agreement in respect of a particular Taxable Year, then Default Rate Interest will begin to accrue pursuant to Section 5.2 and PC Corp and other Parties agree that (i) PC Corp shall pay the Tax Benefit Payments due in respect of such Taxable Year to each Member pro rata in accordance with the principles of Section 3.3(a) and (ii) no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of any Taxable Year until all Tax Benefit Payments to all Members in respect of all prior Taxable Years have been made in full.

ARTICLE IV.

TERMINATION

Section 4.1 Early Termination of Agreement; Breach of Agreement.

(a) PC Corp’s Early Termination Right. PC Corp may completely terminate this Agreement, as and to the extent provided herein, with respect to all amounts payable to the Members pursuant to this Agreement by paying to the Members the Early Termination Payment; provided that Early Termination Payments may be made pursuant to this Section 4.1(a) only if made to all Members that are entitled to such a payment simultaneously, and provided further, that PC Corp may withdraw any notice to execute its termination rights under this Section 4.1(a) prior to the time at which any Early Termination Payment has been paid. Upon PC Corp’s payment of the Early Termination Payment, PC Corp shall not have any further payment obligations under this Agreement, other than with respect to any: (i) prior Tax Benefit Payments that are due and payable under this Agreement but that still remain unpaid as of the date of the Early Termination Notice; and (ii) current Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending on or including the date of the Early Termination Notice (except to the extent that the amount described in clause (ii) is included in the calculation of the Early Termination Payment). If an Exchange subsequently occurs with respect to Common Units for which PC Corp has exercised its termination rights under this Section 4.1(a), PC Corp shall have no obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Exchange.

(b) Acceleration upon Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, all obligations hereunder shall be accelerated and such obligations shall be calculated pursuant to this Article IV as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the closing date of the Change of Control and utilizing the Valuation Assumptions by substituting the phrase “the closing date of a Change of Control” in each place where the phrase “Early Termination Effective Date” appears. Such obligations shall include, but not be limited to, (1) the Early Termination Payment calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the closing date of the Change of Control, (2) any Tax Benefit Payments agreed to by PC Corp and the Members as due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Notice and (3) any Tax Benefit Payments due for any Taxable Year ending prior to, with or including the closing date of a Change of Control (except to the extent that any amounts described in clauses (2) or (3) are included in the Early Termination Payment). For the avoidance of doubt, Sections 4.2 and 4.3 shall apply to a Change of Control, mutadis mutandi.

(c) Acceleration upon Breach of Agreement. In the event that PC Corp materially breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement, whether as a result of failure to make any payment when due, failure to honor any other material obligation required hereunder, or by operation of law as a result of the rejection of this Agreement in a case commenced under

 

15


bankruptcy laws or otherwise, then all obligations hereunder shall be accelerated and become immediately due and payable upon notice of acceleration from such Member (provided that in the case of any proceeding under bankruptcy laws or other insolvency statute, such acceleration shall be automatic without any such notice), and such obligations shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such notice of acceleration (or, in the case of any proceeding under bankruptcy laws or any other insolvency statute, on the date of such breach) and shall include, but not be limited to: (i) the Early Termination Payment calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such acceleration; (ii) any prior Tax Benefit Payments that are due and payable under this Agreement but that still remain unpaid as of the date of such acceleration; and (iii) any current Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of such acceleration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that PC Corp breaches this Agreement and such breach is not a material breach of a material obligation, a Member shall still be entitled to enforce all of its rights otherwise available under this Agreement, including potentially seeking an acceleration of amounts payable under this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 4.1(c), and subject to the following sentence, the Parties agree that the failure to make any payment due pursuant to this Agreement within thirty (30) days of the relevant Final Payment Date shall be deemed to be a material breach of a material obligation under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement, and that it will not be considered to be a material breach of a material obligation under this Agreement to make a payment due pursuant to this Agreement within thirty (30) days of the relevant Final Payment Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it shall not be a material breach of a material obligation of this Agreement if PC Corp fails to make any Tax Benefit Payment within thirty (30) days of the relevant Final Payment Date to the extent that PC Corp has insufficient funds, or cannot take commercially reasonable actions to obtain sufficient funds, to make such payment; provided that the interest provisions of Section 5.2 shall apply to such late payment (unless PC Corp does not have sufficient funds to make such payment as a result of limitations imposed by any Senior Obligations, in which case Section 5.2 shall apply, but the Default Rate shall be replaced by the Agreed Rate).

Section 4.2 Early Termination Notice. If PC Corp chooses to exercise its right of early termination under Section 4.1 above, PC Corp shall deliver to the Members a notice of PC Corp’s decision to exercise such right (an “Early Termination Notice”) and a schedule (the “Early Termination Schedule”) showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the Early Termination Payment. PC Corp shall also (x) deliver supporting schedules and work papers, as determined by PC Corp or as reasonably requested by a Member, that provide a reasonable level of detail regarding the data and calculations that were relevant for purposes of preparing the Early Termination Schedule; (y) deliver a PC Corp Letter supporting such Early Termination Schedule; and (z) allow the Members and their advisors to have reasonable access to the appropriate representatives, as determined by PC Corp or as reasonably requested by the Members, at PC Corp and the Advisory Firm in connection with a review of such Early Termination Schedule. The Early Termination Schedule shall become final and binding on each Party thirty (30) calendar days from the first date on which the Members received such Early Termination Schedule unless:

(i) a Member within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving the Early Termination Schedule, provides PC Corp with (A) notice of a material objection to such Early Termination Schedule made in good faith and setting forth in reasonable detail such Member’s material objection (a “Termination Objection Notice”) and (B) a letter from a Member Advisory Firm in support of such Termination Objection Notice; or

 

16


(ii) each Member provides a written waiver of such right of a Termination Objection Notice within the period described in clause (i) above, in which case such Early Termination Schedule becomes binding on the date the waiver from all Members is received by PC Corp.

In the event that a Member timely delivers a Termination Objection Notice pursuant to clause (i) above, and if the Parties, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in the Termination Objection Notice within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by PC Corp of the Termination Objection Notice, PC Corp and such Member shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the expense of preparing and obtaining the letter from a Member Advisory Firm referenced in clause (i) above shall be borne solely by such Member and the neither PC Corp nor the Company shall have any liability with respect to such letter or any of the expenses associated with its preparation and delivery. The date on which the Early Termination Schedule becomes final in accordance with this Section 4.2 shall be the “Early Termination Reference Date.”

Section 4.3 Payment upon Early Termination.

(a) Timing of Payment. Within three (3) Business Days after the Early Termination Reference Date, PC Corp shall pay to each Member an amount equal to the Early Termination Payment for such Member. Such Early Termination Payment shall be made by PC Corp by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated by the Members or as otherwise agreed by PC Corp and the Members.

(b) Amount of Payment. The “Early Termination Payment” payable to a Member pursuant to Section 4.3(a) shall equal the present value, discounted at the Early Termination Rate as determined as of the Early Termination Reference Date, of all Tax Benefit Payments that would be required to be paid by PC Corp to such Member, whether payable with respect to LTIP Units that were converted to Common Units, or Common Units that were Exchanged, prior to the Early Termination Effective Date or on or after the Early Termination Effective Date, beginning from the Early Termination Effective Date and using the Valuation Assumptions. For the avoidance of doubt, an Early Termination Payment shall be made to each Member, regardless of whether such Member has converted all of such Member’s LTIP Units to Common Units, if applicable, and otherwise Exchanged all of its Common Units as of the Early Termination Effective Date.

ARTICLE V.

SUBORDINATION AND LATE PAYMENTS

Section 5.1 Subordination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment required to be made by PC Corp to the Members under this Agreement shall rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to any principal, interest, or other amounts due and payable in respect of any obligations owed in respect of secured indebtedness for borrowed money of PC Corp and its Subsidiaries (“Senior Obligations”) and shall rank pari passu in right of payment with all current or future unsecured obligations of PC Corp that are not Senior Obligations. To the extent that any payment under this Agreement is not permitted to be made at the time payment is due as a result of this Section 5.1 and the terms of the agreements governing Senior Obligations, such payment obligation nevertheless shall accrue for the benefit of the Members and PC Corp shall make such payments at the first opportunity that such payments are permitted to be made in accordance with the terms of the Senior Obligations.

 

17


Section 5.2 Late Payments by PC Corp. The amount of all or any portion of any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment not made to the Members when due under the terms of this Agreement, whether as a result of Section 5.1 and the terms of the Senior Obligations or otherwise, shall be payable together with Default Rate Interest, which shall accrue beginning on the Final Payment Date and be computed as provided in Section 3.1(b)(ix).

ARTICLE VI.

TAX MATTERS; CONSISTENCY; COOPERATION

Section 6.1 Participation in PC Corp’s and the Company’s Tax Matters. Except as otherwise provided herein, and except as provided in Article IX of the LLC Agreement, PC Corp shall have full responsibility for, and sole discretion over, all tax matters concerning the Company, including without limitation in each case, the preparation, filing or amending of any Tax Return and defending, contesting or settling any issue pertaining to taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PC Corp shall notify the Members of, and keep them reasonably informed with respect to, the portion of any tax audit of PC Corp or the Company, or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, the outcome of which is reasonably expected to materially affect the Tax Benefit Payments payable to such Members under this Agreement, and any Member holding directly and/or indirectly at least ten percent (10%) of the outstanding Units, provided that the Company has knowledge that such Member holds directly and/or indirectly at least ten percent (10%) of the outstanding Units (a “10% Member”), shall have the right to participate in and to monitor at their own expense (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not to control) any such portion of any such Tax audit; provided that PC Corp shall not settle or fail to contest any issue pertaining to Covered Taxes that is reasonably expected to materially adversely affect the Members’ rights and obligations under this Agreement without the consent of each 10% Member, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 6.2 Consistency. All calculations and determinations made hereunder, including, without limitation, any Basis Adjustments, the Schedules, and the determination of any Realized Tax Benefits or Realized Tax Detriments, shall be made in accordance with the elections, methodologies or positions taken by PC Corp and the Company on their respective Tax Returns. Each Member shall prepare its Tax Returns in a manner that is consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and any related calculations or determinations that are made hereunder, including, without limitation, the terms of Section 2.1 of this Agreement and the Schedules provided to the Members under this Agreement. In the event that an Advisory Firm is replaced with another Advisory Firm, such replacement Advisory Firm shall perform its services under this Agreement using procedures and methodologies consistent with the previous Advisory Firm, unless otherwise required by law or unless PC Corp and all of the Members agree to the use of other procedures and methodologies.

Section 6.3 Cooperation.

(a) Each Member shall (i) furnish to PC Corp in a timely manner such information, documents and other materials as PC Corp may reasonably request for purposes of making any determination or computation necessary or appropriate under this Agreement, preparing any Tax Return or contesting or defending any audit, examination or controversy with any Taxing Authority, (ii) make itself available to PC Corp and its representatives to provide explanations of documents and materials and such other information as PC Corp or its representatives may reasonably request in connection with any of the matters described in clause (i) above, and (iii) reasonably cooperate in connection with any such matter.

 

18


(b) PC Corp shall reimburse the Members for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred pursuant to Section 6.3(a).

Section 7.3 Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 7.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof that would mandate the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

Section 7.5 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 7.6 Assignments; Amendments; Successors; No Waiver.

(a) Assignment. No Member may assign, sell, pledge, or otherwise alienate or transfer any interest in this Agreement, including the right to receive any Tax Benefit Payments under this Agreement, to any Person without the prior written consent of PC Corp, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, and without such Person executing and delivering a Joinder agreeing to succeed to the applicable portion of such Member’s interest in this Agreement and to become a Party for all purposes of this Agreement (the “Joinder Requirement”); provided, however, that to the extent any Member sells, exchanges, distributes, or otherwise transfers Units to any Person (PC Corp or any of its Affiliates) in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement, the Members shall have the option to assign to the transferee of such Units its rights under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Units, provided that such transferee has satisfied the Joinder Requirement. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Member transfers Units in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement but does not assign to the transferee of such Units its rights under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Units, such Member shall continue to be entitled to receive the Tax Benefit Payments arising in respect of a subsequent Exchange of such Units. PC Corp may not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any Person without Supermajority Member Approval (and any purported assignment without such approval shall be null and void).

(b) Amendments. No provision of this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is approved in writing by PC Corp and made with Supermajority Member Approval. No provision of this Agreement may be waived unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective.

(c) Successors. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, the Parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. PC Corp shall require and cause any direct or indirect successor (whether by purchase, merger,

 

20


consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of PC Corp, by written agreement, expressly, to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that PC Corp would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

(d) Waiver. No failure by any Party to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, duty, agreement, or condition of this Agreement, or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or any other covenant, duty, agreement, or condition.

Section 7.7 Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement.

Section 7.8 Resolution of Disputes.

(a) Except for Reconciliation Disputes subject to Section 7.9, any and all disputes which cannot be settled after substantial good-faith negotiation, including any ancillary claims of any Party, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the validity, negotiation, execution, interpretation, performance or non-performance of this Agreement (including the validity, scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision) (each a “Dispute”) shall be finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration by a panel of three arbitrators, of which PC Corp shall designate one arbitrator and the Members party to such Dispute shall designate one arbitrator in accordance with the “screened” appointment procedure provided in Resolution Rule 5.4. The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq., and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of the arbitration shall be Chicago, Illinois.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a), any Party may bring an action or special proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of compelling another Party to arbitrate, seeking temporary or preliminary relief in aid of an arbitration hereunder, and/or enforcing an arbitration award and, for the purposes of this paragraph (b), each Party (i) expressly consents to the application of paragraph (c) of this Section 7.8 to any such action or proceeding, and (ii) agrees that proof shall not be required that monetary damages for breach of the provisions of this Agreement would be difficult to calculate and that remedies at law would be inadequate. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.8 shall not apply to Reconciliation Disputes to be settled in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 7.9.

(c) This Agreement shall be governed in all respects, including as to validity, interpretation and effect, by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws rules thereof. The Parties agree that any suit or proceeding in connection with, arising out of, or relating to this Agreement shall be instituted only in a court (whether federal or Delaware) located in Cook County, Illinois, and the Parties, for the purpose of any such suit or proceeding, irrevocably consent and submit to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction and venue of any such court in any such suit or proceeding. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(d) Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in Section 7.8(c). Each Party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court.

 

21


(e) Each Party irrevocably consents to service of process by means of notice in the manner provided for in Section 7.1. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of any Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(f) WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

(g) Any dispute as to whether a dispute is a Reconciliation Dispute within the meaning of Section 7.9, or a Dispute within the meaning of this Section 7.8, shall be decided and resolved as a Dispute subject to the procedures set forth in this Section 7.8.

Section 7.9 Reconciliation. In the event that PC Corp and any Member are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to a Schedule (other than an Early Termination Schedule) prepared in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.4, or with respect to an Early Termination Schedule prepared in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.2, within the relevant time period designated in this Agreement (a “Reconciliation Dispute”), the Reconciliation Dispute shall be submitted for determination to a nationally recognized expert (the “Expert”) in the particular area of disagreement mutually acceptable to both Parties. The Expert shall be a partner or principal in a nationally recognized accounting firm, and unless PC Corp and such Member agree otherwise, the Expert shall not, and the firm that employs the Expert shall not, have any material relationship with PC Corp or such Member or other actual or potential conflict of interest. If the Parties are unable to agree on an Expert within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt by the respondent(s) of written notice of a Reconciliation Dispute, the selection of an Expert shall be treated as a Dispute subject to Section 7.8 and an arbitration panel shall pick an Expert from a nationally recognized accounting firm that does not have any material relationship with PC Corp or such Member or other actual or potential conflict of interest. The Expert shall resolve any matter relating to the Basis Schedule or an amendment thereto, or the Early Termination Schedule or an amendment thereto within thirty (30) calendar days and shall resolve any matter relating to a Tax Benefit Schedule or an amendment thereto within fifteen (15) calendar days or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, in each case after the matter has been submitted to the Expert for resolution. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the matter is not resolved before any payment that is the subject of a disagreement would be due (in the absence of such disagreement) or any Tax Return reflecting the subject of a disagreement is due, the undisputed amount shall be paid on the date prescribed by this Agreement and such Tax Return may be filed as prepared by PC Corp, subject to adjustment or amendment upon resolution. The costs and expenses relating to the engagement of such Expert or amending any Tax Return shall be borne by PC Corp except as provided in the next sentence. PC Corp and the Members shall bear their own costs and expenses of such proceeding, unless (i) the Expert adopts the Member’s position, in which case PC Corp shall reimburse the Member for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding, or (ii) the Expert adopts PC Corp’s position, in which case the Member shall reimburse PC Corp for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding. The Expert shall finally determine any Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this Section 7.9 shall be binding on PC Corp and the Members and may be entered and enforced in any court having competent jurisdiction.

 

22


Section 7.10 Withholding. PC Corp shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment that is payable to any Member pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as PC Corp is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of U.S. federal, state or local or non-U.S. tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority by PC Corp, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid by PC Corp to the relevant Member. Each Member shall promptly provide PC Corp with any applicable tax forms and certifications reasonably requested by PC Corp in connection with determining whether any such deductions and withholdings are required under the Code or any provision of U.S. federal, state or local or non-U.S. tax law.

Section 7.11 Admission of PC Corp into a Consolidated Group; Transfers of Corporate Assets.

(a) If PC Corp is or becomes a member of an affiliated or consolidated group of corporations that files a consolidated income Tax Return pursuant to Section 1501 or other applicable Sections of the Code governing affiliated or consolidated groups, or any corresponding provisions of U.S. state or local law, then: (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall be applied with respect to the group as a whole; and (ii) Tax Benefit Payments, Early Termination Payments, and other applicable items hereunder shall be computed with reference to the consolidated taxable income of the group as a whole.

(b) If any entity that is obligated to make a Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment hereunder transfers one or more assets to a corporation (or a Person classified as a corporation for U.S. income tax purposes) with which such entity does not file a consolidated Tax Return pursuant to Section 1501 of the Code, such entity, for purposes of calculating the amount of any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment due hereunder, shall be treated as having disposed of such asset in a fully taxable transaction on the date of such contribution. The consideration deemed to be received by such entity shall be equal to the fair market value of the contributed asset. For purposes of this Section 7.11, a transfer of a partnership interest shall be treated as a transfer of the transferring partner’s share of each of the assets and liabilities of that partnership.

Section 7.12 Confidentiality. Each Member and its assignees acknowledges and agrees that the information of PC Corp is confidential and, except in the course of performing any duties as necessary for PC Corp and its Affiliates, as required by law or legal process or to enforce the terms of this Agreement, such Person shall keep and retain in the strictest confidence and not disclose to any Person any confidential matters, acquired pursuant to this Agreement, of PC Corp and its Affiliates and successors, learned by any Member heretofore or hereafter. This Section 7.12 shall not apply to (i) any information that has been made publicly available by PC Corp or any of its Affiliates, becomes public knowledge (except as a result of an act of any Member in violation of this Agreement) or is generally known to the business community, (ii) the disclosure of information to the extent necessary for a Member to prosecute or defend claims arising under or relating to this Agreement, and (iii) the disclosure of information to the extent necessary for a Member to prepare and file its Tax Returns, to respond to any inquiries regarding the same from any Taxing Authority or to prosecute or defend any action, proceeding or audit by any Taxing Authority with respect to such Tax Returns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Members and each of their assignees (and each employee, representative or other agent of the Members or their assignees, as applicable) may disclose at their discretion to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of PC Corp, the Members and any of their transactions, and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the

 

23


Members relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. If a Member or an assignee commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of this Section 7.12, PC Corp shall have the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Section 7.12 specifically enforced by injunctive relief or otherwise by any court of competent jurisdiction without the need to post any bond or other security, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to PC Corp (or any of their respective Subsidiaries) and that money damages alone shall not provide an adequate remedy to such Persons. Such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

Section 7.13 Change in Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, in connection with an actual or proposed change in law, a Member reasonably believes that the existence of this Agreement could cause income (other than income arising from receipt of a payment under this Agreement) recognized by such Member (or direct or indirect equity holders in such Member) in connection with any Exchange to be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gain (or otherwise taxed at ordinary income rates) for U.S. federal income tax purposes or would have other material adverse tax consequences to such Member or any direct or indirect owner of such Member, then at the written election of such Member in its sole discretion (in an instrument signed by such Member and delivered to PC Corp) and to the extent specified therein by such Member, this Agreement shall cease to have further effect and shall not apply to an Exchange occurring after a date specified by such Member, or may be amended by in a manner reasonably determined by such Member, provided that such amendment shall not result in an increase in any payments owed by PC Corp under this Agreement at any time as compared to the amounts and times of payments that would have been due in the absence of such amendment.

Section 7.14 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the interest paid or agreed to be paid hereunder with respect to amounts due to any Member hereunder shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Member shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment, as applicable (but in each case exclusive of any component thereof comprising interest) or, if it exceeds such unpaid non-interest amount, refunded to PC Corp. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by any Member exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Member may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the payment obligations owed by PC Corp to such Member hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Parties to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws.

Section 7.15 Independent Nature of Rights and Obligations. The rights and obligations of each Member hereunder are several and not joint with the rights and obligations of any other Person. A Member shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Person hereunder, nor shall a Member have the right to enforce the rights or obligations of any other Person hereunder (other than PC Corp). The obligations of a Member hereunder are solely for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable solely by, PC Corp. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Member pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Members acting as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Members are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to

 

24


such rights or obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby, and PC Corp acknowledges that the Members are not acting in concert or as a group and will not assert any such claim with respect to such rights or obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby.

In connection with the Recapitalization, as of the Effective Time, the aggregate Cresco Units that in each case were issued and outstanding and held by the Members prior to the execution and effectiveness of this Agreement are hereby canceled and the Common Units are hereby issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time in replacement thereof. The outstanding Common Units after giving effect to the Recapitalization, and the respective holders thereof as of the Effective Time, are reflected on the Schedule of Members.

(b) Member Capital Contributions. The Members’ Capital Contributions shall be reflected on the Schedule of Members. For the avoidance of doubt, the Members shall be admitted as Members with respect to all Common Units they hold from time to time. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Capital Contributions made or to be made to the Company by such Members will result in a “reevaluation of partnership property” and corresponding adjustments to Capital Account balances as described in Treasury Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f).

Section 3.04 Issuance of Additional Units in Conformance with Support Agreement. The Manager shall be authorized to cause the Company to undertake all actions necessary or required by the Company under the Support Agreement including without limitation any reclassification, consolidation, split, distribution, or recapitalization, with respect to the Common Units, to maintain the same ratios between the number of outstanding Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares, the number of outstanding PC Corp shares (consisting of the PC Corp Redeemable Shares and the PC Corp Voting Shares) and the number of Common Units issued and outstanding immediately prior to any such reclassification, consolidation, split, distribution, or recapitalization of shares at PC Corp or Pubco.

Section 3.05 Repurchase or Redemption of Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares, Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares or PC Corp Redeemable Shares.

(a) If, at any time, any Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares are repurchased or redeemed (whether by exercise of a put or call, automatically or by means of another arrangement) by Pubco for cash, then the PC Corp shall, immediately prior

 

19


to such repurchase or redemption of Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares, redeem a number of shares of stock of the PC Corp held by Pubco at an aggregate redemption price equal to the aggregate purchase or redemption price of the Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares being repurchased or redeemed by Pubco (plus any expenses related thereto) and upon such other terms as are the same for the Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares being repurchased or redeemed by Pubco; provided that, immediately prior to such redemption by the PC Corp of such shares of stock of the PC Corp, the Manager shall cause the Company to redeem a number of Common Units held by the PC Corp at an aggregate redemption price equal to the aggregate purchase or redemption price of the Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares being repurchased or redeemed by Pubco (plus any expenses related thereto) and upon such other terms as are the same for the Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares being repurchased or redeemed by Pubco.

(b) If, at any time, any PC Corp Redeemable Shares are repurchased or redeemed (whether by exercise of a put or call, automatically or by means of another arrangement) by PC Corp for cash, then the Manager shall cause the Company to redeem a number of Common Units held by the PC Corp at an aggregate redemption price equal to the aggregate purchase or redemption price of the PC Corp Redeemable Shares being repurchased or redeemed by the PC Corp (plus any expenses related thereto) and upon such other terms as are the same for the PC Corp Redeemable Shares being repurchased or redeemed by PC Corp.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the Company, the PC Corp and Pubco shall not make any repurchase or redemption if such repurchase or redemption would violate any applicable Law.

Section 3.06 Certificates Representing Units; Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates; Registration and Transfer of Units.

(a) Units shall not be certificated unless otherwise determined by the Manager. If the Manager determines that one or more Units shall be certificated, each such certificate shall be signed by or in the name of the Company, by the Chief Executive Officer and any other officer designated by the Manager, representing the number of Units held by such holder. Such certificate shall be in such form (and shall contain such legends) as the Manager may determine. Any or all of such signatures on any certificate representing one or more Units may be a facsimile, engraved or printed, to the extent permitted by applicable Law. The Manager agrees that it shall not elect to treat any Unit as a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction unless thereafter all Units then outstanding are represented by one or more certificates.

(b) If Units are certificated, the Manager may direct that a new certificate representing one or more Units be issued in place of any certificate theretofore issued by the Company alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon delivery to the Manager of an affidavit of the owner or owners of such certificate, setting forth such allegation. The Manager may require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or such owner’s legal representative, to give the Company a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of any such new certificate.

 

20


(c) Upon surrender to the Company or the transfer agent of the Company, if any, of a certificate for one or more Units, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, in compliance with the provisions hereof, the Company shall issue a new certificate representing one or more Units to the Person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Manager may prescribe such additional rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate relating to the issue, Transfer and registration of Units.

Section 3.07 Negative Capital Accounts. No Member shall be required to pay to any other Member or the Company any deficit or negative balance which may exist from time to time in such Member’s Capital Account (including upon and after dissolution of the Company).

Section 3.08 No Withdrawal. No Person shall be entitled to withdraw any part of such Person’s Capital Contribution or Capital Account or to receive any Distribution from the Company, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

Section 3.09 Loans From Members. Loans by Members to the Company shall not be considered Capital Contributions. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.01(c), the amount of any such advances shall be a debt of the Company to such Member and shall be payable or collectible in accordance with the terms and conditions upon which such advances are made.

Section 3.10 Pubco Equity Incentive Plans. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or applied to preclude or restrain Pubco from adopting, modifying or terminating an Equity Plan or from issuing Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares pursuant to any such Equity Plans. Pubco may implement such Equity Plans and any actions taken under such Equity Plans (such as the grant or exercise of options to acquire Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares, or the issuance of Unvested Corporate Shares), whether taken with respect to or by an employee or other service provider of Pubco, PC Corp, the Company or its Subsidiaries, in a manner determined by Pubco in its sole discretion. The Manager may amend this Agreement as necessary or advisable in its sole discretion in connection with the adoption, implementation, modification or termination of an Equity Plan by Pubco. In the event of such an amendment by the Manager, the Company will provide notice of such amendment to the Members. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall be expressly authorized to issue Units (i) in accordance with the terms of any such Equity Plan, or (ii) in an amount equal to the number of Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares issued pursuant to any such Equity Plan, without any further act, approval or vote of any Member or any other Persons.

Section 3.11 Dividend Reinvestment Plan, Cash Option Purchase Plan, Stock Incentive Plan or Other Plan. Except as may otherwise be provided in this ARTICLE III, all amounts received or deemed received by Pubco in respect of any dividend reinvestment plan, cash option purchase plan, stock incentive or other stock or subscription plan or agreement, either shall be utilized by Pubco to effect open market purchases of shares of Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares, or (b) if Pubco elects instead, or is obligated, to issue new Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares with

 

21


respect to such amounts, such amounts shall be contributed by Pubco to the PC Corp in exchange for additional shares of stock of the PC Corp and further contributed by the PC Corp to the Company in exchange for additional Common Units. Upon such contribution, the Company will issue to the PC Corp Common Units.

Section 3.12 Acquisitions. The Manager may cause the Company from time to time to issue Common Units or other Equity Securities to Persons for the purpose of acquiring additional assets or equity interests in corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies and other entities, on the terms as determined by the Manager in its sole and absolute discretion. The terms of any such acquisition, including price, shall be negotiated and determined by the Manager in its sole and absolute discretion.

ARTICLE IV.

DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 4.01 Distributions.

(a) Distributable Cash; Other Distributions. To the extent permitted by applicable Law and hereunder, Distributions to Members (for the avoidance of doubt including holders of FV LTIP Units and AO LTIP Units) may be declared by the Manager out of Distributable Cash or other funds or property legally available therefor in such amounts and on such terms (including the payment dates of such Distributions) as the Manager shall determine using such record date as the Manager may designate; such Distributions shall be made to the Members as of the close of business on such record date on a pro rata basis in accordance with each Member’s Percentage Interest as of the close of business on such record date; provided, however, that the Manager shall have the obligation to make Distributions as set forth in Sections 4.01(b) and 14.02; and, provided further, that, notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, no Distributions shall be made to any Member to the extent such Distribution would render the Company insolvent. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, insolvency means either (i) the inability of the Company to pay its debts as they come due in the usual course of business, or (ii) the total assets of the Company being less than the sum of its total liabilities. Promptly following the designation of a record date and the declaration of a Distribution pursuant to this Section 4.01(a), the Manager shall give notice to each Member of the record date, the amount and the terms of the Distribution and the payment date thereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, it is intended that the Manager shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and hereunder, have the right in its sole discretion to make Distributions to the Members pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) in such amounts as shall enable the PC Corp to pay dividends or to meet its obligations, including its obligations pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement (to the extent such obligations are not otherwise able to be satisfied as a result of Tax Distributions required to be made pursuant to Section 4.01(b)).

(b) Tax Distributions.

(i) On or about each date (a “Tax Distribution Date”) that is five (5) Business Days prior to each due date for the U.S. federal income tax return of an individual calendar year taxpayer (without regard to extensions) (or, if earlier, the due date for the U.S. federal income tax return of PC Corp, as determined without regard to extensions), the Company shall, to the extent of Distributable Cash as determined by the Manager in its sole

 

22


discretion, be required to make a Distribution to each Member of cash in an amount equal to the excess of such Member’s Assumed Tax Liability, if any, for such taxable period over the Distributions previously made to such Member pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) with respect to such taxable period (the “Tax Distributions”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager may, in its discretion, make such Tax Distributions on a quarterly basis, and any date on which such Tax Distributions are made will be considered a Tax Distribution Date for purposes hereof.

(ii) To the extent a Member otherwise would be entitled to receive less than its Percentage Interest of the aggregate Tax Distributions to be paid pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) on any given date, the Tax Distributions to such Member shall be increased to ensure that all Distributions made pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) are made pro rata in accordance with such Member’s Percentage Interest. If, on a Tax Distribution Date, there are insufficient funds on hand to distribute to the Members the full amount of the Tax Distributions to which such Members are otherwise entitled, Distributions pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) shall be made to the Members only to the extent of available funds in accordance with their Percentage Interests and the Company shall make future Tax Distributions as soon as the Manager determines in its sole discretion that funds have become available sufficient to pay the remaining portion of the Tax Distributions to which such Members are otherwise entitled.

(iii) In the event of any audit by, or similar event with, a taxing authority that affects the calculation of any Member’s Assumed Tax Liability for any Taxable Year, or in the event the Company files an amended tax return, each Member’s Assumed Tax Liability with respect to such year shall be recalculated by giving effect to such event (for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account interest or penalties). Any shortfall in the amount of Tax Distributions the Members and former Members received for the relevant Taxable Years based on such recalculated Assumed Tax Liability shall, to the extent of Distributable Cash available therefor as determined by the Manager in its sole discretion, promptly be distributed to such Members and the successors of such former Members, except, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent Distributions were made to such Members and former Members pursuant to Section 4.01(a) and this Section 4.01(b) in the relevant Taxable Years sufficient to cover such shortfall.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributions pursuant to this Section 4.01(b), if any, shall be made to a Member (or its predecessor in interest) only to the extent all previous Distributions to such Member pursuant to Section 4.01(a) with respect to the Fiscal Year are less than the Distributions such Member (and its predecessor in interest) otherwise would have been entitled to receive with respect to such Fiscal Year pursuant to this Section  4.01(b).

Section 4.02 Restricted Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make any Distribution to any Member on account of any Company Interest if such Distribution would violate any applicable Law or the terms of any other agreement to which the Company is a party.

ARTICLE V.

CAPITAL ACCOUNTS; ALLOCATIONS; TAX MATTERS

Section 5.01 Capital Accounts.

(a) The Company shall maintain a separate Capital Account for each Member according to the rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). For this purpose, the Company may (in the discretion of the Manager), upon the occurrence of the events specified in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), increase or decrease the Capital Accounts in accordance with the rules of such Treasury Regulation and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) to reflect a revaluation of Company property.

(b) For purposes of computing the amount of any item of Company income, gain, loss or deduction to be allocated pursuant to this Article V and to be reflected in the Capital Accounts of the Members, the determination, recognition and classification of any such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including any method of depreciation, cost recovery or amortization used for this purpose); provided, however, that:

(i) The computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall include those items described in Code Section 705(a)(l)(B) or Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i), without regard to the fact that such items are not includable in gross income or are not deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(ii) If the Book Value of any Company property is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such property.

(iii) Items of income, gain, loss or deduction attributable to the disposition of Company property having a Book Value that differs from its adjusted basis for tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Book Value of such property.

(iv) Items of depreciation, amortization and other cost recovery deductions with respect to Company property having a Book Value that differs from its adjusted basis for tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the property’s Book Value in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g).

(v) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Sections 732(d), 734(b) or 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis).

Section 5.02 Allocations.

 

24


(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.02(b), Section 5.02(c), Section 5.03 and Section 5.04, Net Profits and Net Losses for any Fiscal Year or Fiscal Period shall be allocated among the Capital Accounts of the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(b) Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, every item of income, gain, loss and deduction entering into the computation of Net Profits or Net Losses will be allocated to the Members in the same proportion as the allocation of Net Profits or Net Losses for that period.

(c) Special Allocation of Liquidating Gains and Liquidating Losses:

(i) Liquidating Gains shall first be allocated to the Members holding FV LTIP Units until the Economic Capital Account Balances of such Members, to the extent attributable to their ownership of FV LTIP Units, are equal to (1) the Common Unit Economic Balance, multiplied by (2) the number of their FV LTIP Units (with respect to each Member holding FV LTIP Units, the “Target Balance”). For the avoidance of doubt, Liquidating Gains allocated with respect to a FV LTIP Unit pursuant to this subparagraph shall reduce (but not below zero) the Booked-Up Target for such FV LTIP Unit. Any such allocations shall be made among the holders of FV LTIP Units in proportion to the aggregate amounts required to be allocated to each under this subparagraph.

(ii) Liquidating Gain allocated to a Member under this subparagraph will be attributed to specific FV LTIP Units of such Member for purposes of determining (1) allocations under this section, (2) the effect of the forfeiture or conversion of specific LTIP Units on such Member’s Capital Account and (3) the ability of such Member to convert specific LTIP Units into Common Units. Such Liquidating Gain will generally be attributed in the following order: (1) first, to Vested FV LTIP Units held for more than two years, (2) second, to Vested FV LTIP Units held for two years or less, (3) third, to Unvested FV LTIP Units that have remaining vesting conditions that only require continued employment or service to the Company, the Company, the Manager or an Affiliate of either for a certain period of time (with such Liquidating Gains being attributed in order of vesting from soonest vesting to latest vesting), and (4) fourth, to other Unvested FV LTIP Units (with such Liquidating Gains being attributed in order of issuance from earliest issued to latest issued). Within each category, Liquidating Gain will be allocated seriatim (i.e., entirely to the first unit in a set, then entirely to the next unit in the set, and so on, until a full allocation is made to the last unit in the set) in the order of smallest Booked-Up Target to largest Booked-Up Target.

(iii) After giving effect to the special allocations set forth above, if, due to distributions with respect to Common Units in which the FV LTIP Units do not participate, forfeitures or otherwise, the Economic Capital Account Balance of any Member attributable to such Member’s FV LTIP Units, exceeds the Target Balance, then Liquidating Losses shall be allocated to such Member to eliminate the disparity; provided, however, that if Liquidating Losses are insufficient to completely eliminate all such disparities, such losses shall be allocated among FV LTIP Units in a manner reasonably determined by the Manager.

 

25


(iv) The Members agree that the intent of this Section 5.02(c) is (1) to the extent possible to make the liquidation value associated with each FV LTIP Unit the same as the liquidation value of a Common Unit, and (2) to allow conversion of a FV LTIP Unit (assuming it is a Vested LTIP Unit) when sufficient Liquidating Gains have been allocated to such FV LTIP Unit pursuant to Section 5.02(c)(i) above or Net Loss, Operating Loss and/or Liquidating Loss have been allocated to Common Units so that either a FV LTIP Unit’s initial Booked-Up Target has been reduced to zero or the parity described in subclause (1) above has been achieved. The Manager shall be permitted to interpret this Section and to amend this Agreement to the extent necessary and consistent with this intention.

(v) If a Member forfeits any FV LTIP Units to which Liquidating Gain has previously been allocated under Section 5.02(c)(i) above, (1) the portion of such Member’s Capital Account attributable to such Liquidating Gain allocated to such forfeited LTIP Units will be re-allocated to that Member’s remaining FV LTIP Units that were outstanding on the date of the initial allocation of such Liquidating Gain, using a methodology similar to that described in Section 5.02(c)(ii) above as reasonably determined by the Manager, to the extent necessary to cause such Member’s Economic Capital Account Balance attributable to each such FV LTIP Unit to equal the Common Unit Economic Balance and (2) such Member’s Capital Account will be reduced by the amount of any such Liquidating Gain not re-allocated pursuant to the foregoing subclause (1) above. Any such reductions in Capital Accounts pursuant to the foregoing subclause (2) shall be reallocated to the Common Units and LTIP Units pro rata, provided that the Manager shall have the discretion to limit reallocations to LTIP Units in any manner the Manager reasonably determines is necessary to prevent such LTIP Units from participating in Liquidating Gains realized prior to the issuance of such LTIP Units.

(d) In the event an allocation of Net Loss in respect of an LTIP Unit would cause the holder of such LTIP Unit to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, the Net Loss allocable to the LTIP Unit shall first be made out of Operating Loss to the extent the cumulative Operating Income in excess of cumulative Operating Loss allocated to that LTIP Unit exceeds cumulative distributions in respect of that LTIP Unit, and any remaining allocation of Net Loss to that LTIP Unit shall be made proportionately out of Operating Loss and Liquidating Loss

(e) In the event an allocation of Net Loss in respect of a Common Unit would cause the holder of such Common Unit to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, the Net Loss allocable to the Common Unit shall be made proportionately out of Operating Loss and Liquidating Loss remaining after the allocation of Net Loss in respect of LTIP Units as provided in Section 5.02(d) above.

(f) Special Allocation to LTIP Units. Items of gross income of the Company shall be specially allocated to a Member in an amount necessary to eliminate any Adjusted Capital Account Deficit attributable to an LTIP Unit of such Member. Any such allocations shall be made first from items of income constituting Operating Income or Operating Loss, and only thereafter from items of income constituting Liquidating Gains or Liquidating Losses. For purposes of determining the amount of gross income that must be specially allocated under this Section 5.02(f), the Company shall initially allocate all items amongst the Members in accordance with the

 

26


provisions of this Agreement, and only if a Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after such initial allocation shall a special allocation be made pursuant to this Section and only in an amount equal to the excess gross income allocation needed to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit taking into account the remaining Net Income that will be allocated to such Member after applying the other provisions of this section.

(g) Special Allocation upon Conversion of FV LTIP Units or AO LTIP Units. After a Member’s conversion of an AO LTIP Unit into a fraction of a Common Unit, the Company will specially allocate Liquidating Gain and Liquidating Loss to the Members until and in a manner that causes, as promptly as practicable, the portion of the Economic Capital Account Balance of the Member converting the AO LTIP Unit that is attributable to the fraction of a Common Unit received upon the conversion to equal the Common Unit Economic Balance multiplied by a fraction equal to the fraction of the Common Unit issued in the conversion. After the conversion of an FV LTIP Unit into a Common Unit (or fraction thereof), the Company will specially allocate Liquidating Gain and Liquidating Loss to the Members until and in a manner that causes, as promptly as practicable, the portion of such Member’s Economic Capital Account Balance attributable to the Common Unit (or fraction thereof) received upon conversion to equal the Common Unit Economic Balance (or in the case where a fractional Common Unit is received on conversion, the Common Unit Economic Balance multiplied by a fraction equal to the fraction of the Common Unit issued in the conversion).

Section 5.03 Regulatory Allocations.

(a) Losses attributable to partner nonrecourse debt (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). If there is a net decrease during a Taxable Year in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(3)), Profits for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Taxable Years) shall be allocated to the Members in the amounts and of such character as determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4).

(b) Nonrecourse deductions (as determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) for any Taxable Year shall be allocated pro rata among the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.03(a), if there is a net decrease in the Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each Member shall be allocated Profits for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Taxable Years) in the amounts and of such character as determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 5.03(b) is intended to be a minimum gain chargeback provision that complies with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f), and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

(c) If any Member that unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or Distribution described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6) has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of any Taxable Year, computed after the application of Sections 5.03(a) and 5.03(b) but before the application of any other provision of this Article V, then Profits for such Taxable Year shall be allocated to such Member in proportion to, and to the extent of, such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. This Section 5.03(c) is intended to be a qualified income offset provision as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

 

27


(d) If the allocation of Net Losses to a Member as provided in Section 5.02 would create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, there shall be allocated to such Member only that amount of Losses as will not create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. The Net Losses that would, absent the application of the preceding sentence, otherwise be allocated to such Member shall be allocated to the other Members in accordance with their relative Percentage Interests, subject to this Section 5.03(d).

(e) Profits and Losses described in Section 5.01(b)(v) shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the manner that the adjustments to the Capital Accounts are required to be made pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(j), (k) and (m).

(f) The allocations set forth in Section 5.03(a) through and including Section 5.03(e) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 of the Treasury Regulations. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Members intend to allocate Profit and Loss of the Company or make Distributions. Accordingly, notwithstanding the other provisions of this ARTICLE V, but subject to the Regulatory Allocations, income, gain, deduction and loss shall be reallocated among the Members so as to eliminate the effect of the Regulatory Allocations and thereby cause the respective Capital Accounts of the Members to be in the amounts (or as close thereto as possible) they would have been if Profits and Losses (and such other items of income, gain, deduction and loss) had been allocated without reference to the Regulatory Allocations. In general, the Members anticipate that this will be accomplished by specially allocating other Profit and Loss (and such other items of income, gain, deduction and loss) among the Members so that the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and such special allocations to each such Member is zero. In addition, if in any Fiscal Year or Fiscal Period there is a decrease in partnership minimum gain, or in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain, and application of the minimum gain chargeback requirements set forth in Section 5.03(a) or Section 5.03(b) would cause a distortion in the economic arrangement among the Members, the Members may, if they do not expect that the Company will have sufficient other income to correct such distortion, request the Internal Revenue Service to waive either or both of such minimum gain chargeback requirements. If such request is granted, this Agreement shall be applied in such instance as if it did not contain such minimum gain chargeback requirement.

Section 5.04 Tax Allocations.

(a) The income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Company will be allocated, for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions and credits among the Members for computing their Capital Accounts; provided that if any such allocation is not permitted by the Code or other applicable Law, the Company’s subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and credits will be allocated among the Members so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts.

 

28


(b) Items of Company taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Code Section 704(c) so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value using any reasonable method as determined in the sole discretion of the Manager taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b).

(c) If the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to Section 5.01(b), subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) using any reasonable method as determined in the sole discretion of the Manager taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b).

(d) Allocations of tax credits, tax credit recapture, and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Members pro rata as determined by the Manager taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

(e) Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.04 are solely for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, Distributions or other Company items pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

Section 5.05 Indemnification and Reimbursement for Payments on Behalf of a Member. If the Company is obligated to pay any amount to a Governmental Entity (or otherwise makes a payment to a Governmental Entity) that is specifically attributable to a Member or a Member’s status as such (including U.S. federal withholding or other taxes, state personal property taxes and state unincorporated business taxes, but excluding payments such as professional association fees and the like made voluntarily by the Company on behalf of any Member based upon such Member’s status as an employee of the Company), then such Person shall indemnify the Company in full for the entire amount paid (including interest, penalties and related expenses). The Manager may offset Distributions to which a Person is otherwise entitled under this Agreement against such Person’s obligation to indemnify the Company under this Section 5.05. A Member’s obligation to make contributions to the Company under this Section 5.05 shall survive the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Company, and for purposes of this Section 5.05, the Company shall be treated as continuing in existence. The Company may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have against each Member under this Section 5.05, including instituting a lawsuit to collect such contribution with interest calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus 300 basis points (but not in excess of the highest rate per annum permitted by Law). Each Member hereby agrees to furnish to the Company such information and forms as required or reasonably requested in order to comply with any laws and regulations governing withholding of tax or in order to claim any reduced rate of, or exemption from, withholding to which the Member is legally entitled.

ARTICLE VI.

MANAGEMENT

Section 6.01 Authority of the Manager.

(a) Except for situations in which the approval of any Member(s) is specifically required by this Agreement, (i) all management powers over the business and affairs of the Company shall be exclusively vested in the sole manager of the Company (the “Manager”) and (ii) the Manager shall conduct, direct and exercise full control over all activities of the Company. The PC Corp shall serve as the Manager of the Company. The Manager shall be the “manager” of the Company for the purposes of the Act. Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Members hereby consent to the exercise by the Manager of all such powers and rights conferred on the Members by the Act with respect to the management and control of the Company. Any vacancies in the position of Manager shall be filled in accordance with Section 6.04.

(b) The day-to-day business and operations of the Company shall be overseen and implemented by officers of the Company (each, an “Officer” and collectively, the “Officers”), subject to the limitations imposed by the Manager. An Officer may, but need not, be a Member. Each Officer shall be appointed by the Manager and shall hold office until his or her successor shall be duly designated and shall qualify or until his or her death or until he or she shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided. Any one Person may hold more than one office. Subject to the other provisions in this Agreement (including in Section 6.07 below), the salaries or other compensation, if any, of the Officers of the Company shall be fixed from time to time by the Manager. The authority and responsibility of the Officers shall include, but not be limited to, such duties as the Manager may, from time to time, delegate to them and the carrying out of the Company’s business and affairs on a day-to-day basis. The existing Officers of the Company as of the Effective Time shall remain in their respective positions and shall be deemed to have been appointed by the Manager. All Officers shall be, and shall be deemed to be, officers and employees of the Company. An Officer may also perform one or more roles as an officer of the Manager.

(c) The Manager shall have the power and authority to effectuate the sale, lease, transfer, exchange or other disposition of any, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (including the exercise or grant of any conversion, option, privilege or subscription right or any other right available in connection with any assets at any time held by the Company) or the merger, consolidation, reorganization or other combination of the Company with or into another entity.

Section 6.04 Vacancies. Vacancies in the position of Manager occurring for any reason shall be filled by the PC Corp (or, if the PC Corp has ceased to exist without any successor or assign, then by the holders of a majority in interest of the voting capital stock of the PC Corp immediately prior to such cessation). The Members have no right under this Agreement to fill any vacancy in the position of Manager.

Section 6.05 Transactions between the Company and the Manager. The Manager may cause the Company to contract and deal with the Manager, or any Affiliate of the Manager, provided such contracts and dealings are on terms comparable to and competitive with those available to the Company from others dealing with the Company at arm’s length or are approved by the Members. The Members hereby approve the PC Corp Contribution pursuant to the terms as determined by the Manager, acting reasonably, and the grant or other issuance of LTIP Units to Cresco executives or other Members and any compensation plans, incentive award plans or similar plans associated therewith.

Section 6.06 Reimbursement for Expenses. The Manager shall not be compensated for its services as Manager of the Company except as expressly provided in this Agreement. The Members acknowledge and agree that the Manager shall be reimbursed by the Company for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred on behalf of the Company including, without limitation, fees incurred in connection with transfer agent services provided to PC Corp and the Company. The Members further acknowledge and agree that certain actions taken by PC Corp and Pubco will inure to the benefit of the Company and all Members; therefore, the Company shall reimburse PC Corp for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by PC Corp or Pubco on behalf of the Company, including all fees, expenses and costs associated with the Public Listing and all fees, expenses and costs of Pubco being a public company (including expenses incurred in connection with public reporting obligations, information circulars, shareholder meetings, stock exchange fees, transfer agent fees, securities commission and stock exchange filing fees and offering expenses) and maintaining the corporate existence of each of PC Corp and Pubco. In the event that Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares are sold to underwriters in any subsequent public offering at a price per share that is lower than the price per share for which such Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares are sold to the public in such subsequent public offering after taking into account underwriters’ discounts or commissions and brokers’ fees or commissions (such difference, the “Discount”), (i) the Pubco shall be deemed to have contributed to the PC Corp in exchange for newly issued PC Corp shares the full amount for which such Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares were sold to the public; (ii) the Manager shall be deemed to have contributed to the Company in exchange for newly issued Common Units the full amount for which such Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares were sold to the public and (iii) the Company shall be deemed to have paid the Discount as an expense. To the extent practicable, expenses incurred by the Manager on behalf of or for the benefit of the Company shall be billed directly to and paid by the Company and, if and to the extent any reimbursements to the Manager or any of its Affiliates by the Company pursuant to this Section 6.06 constitute gross income to such Person (as opposed to the repayment of advances made by such Person on behalf of the Company), such amounts shall be treated as “guaranteed payments” within the meaning of Code Section 707(c) and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Members’ Capital Accounts.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein or in an agreement entered into by such Person and the Company, neither the Manager nor any of the Manager’s Affiliates shall be liable to the Company or to any Member that is not the Manager for any act or omission performed or omitted by the Manager in its capacity as the sole Manager of the Company pursuant to authority granted to the Manager by this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided herein, such limitation of liability shall not apply to the extent the act or omission was attributable to the Manager’s fraud, intentional misconduct or knowing violation of Law or for any present or future breaches of any representations, warranties or covenants by the Manager or its Affiliates contained herein or in the other agreements with the Company, in each case as determined by a final judgment, order or decree of an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction which is not appealable or with respect to which the time for appeal therefrom has expired and no appeal has been perfected. The Manager may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and shall perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its agents, and shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent (so long as such agent was selected in good faith and with reasonable care). The Manager shall be entitled to rely in good faith on the provisions of this Agreement and on information, opinions, reports or statements (including financial statements and information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value or amount of the assets, liabilities, Profits or Losses of the Company or any facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which Distributions to Members might properly be paid) of the following other Persons or groups: one or more Officers or employees of the Company or the Manager; any attorney, independent accountant, appraiser or other expert or professional employed or engaged by or on behalf of the Company or the Manager; or any other Person who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, or the Manager, in each case as to matters which the Manager reasonably believes to be within such other Person’s competence, and any act of or failure to act by the Manager in good faith reliance on such advice shall in no event subject the Manager to liability to the Company or any Member that is not the Manager.

(b) Whenever this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein provides that the Manager shall act in a manner which is, or provide terms which are, “fair and reasonable” to the Company or any Member that is not the Manager, the Manager shall determine such appropriate action or provide such terms considering, in each case, the relative interests of each party to such agreement, transaction or situation and the benefits and burdens relating to such interests, any customary or accepted industry practices, and any applicable U.S. GAAP.

 

32


(c) Whenever in this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein, the Manager is permitted or required to take any action or to make a decision in its “sole discretion” or “discretion,” with “complete discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the Manager shall be entitled to consider such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or other Members.

(d) Whenever in this Agreement the Manager is permitted or required to take any action or to make a decision in its “good faith” or under another express standard, the Manager shall act under such express standard and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, shall not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein, and, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, so long as the Manager acts in good faith or such other express standard permitted or required hereunder, the resolution, action or terms so made, taken or provided by the Manager shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or impose liability upon the Manager or any of the Manager’s Affiliates.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prohibit the Manager from executing any guarantee of indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

ARTICLE VII.

RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF MEMBERS

Section 7.01 Limitation of Liability and Duties of Members.

(a) Except as provided in this Agreement or in the Act, no Member (including the Manager) shall be obligated personally for any debt, obligation or liability solely by reason of being a Member. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the failure of the Company to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its business and affairs under this Agreement or the Act shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on the Members for liabilities of the Company.

 

33


(b) In accordance with the Act and the laws of the State of Illinois, a Member may, under certain circumstances, be required to return amounts previously distributed to such Member. It is the intent of the Members that no Distribution to any Member pursuant to ARTICLE IV shall be deemed a return of money or other property paid or distributed in violation of the Act. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, any Member receiving any such money or property shall not be required to return any such money or property to the Company or any other Person. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Member is obligated to make any such payment, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Member and not of any other Member.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (subject to Section 6.08 with respect to the Manager), to the extent that, at law or in equity, any Member (or any Member’s Affiliate or any manager, managing member, general partner, director, officer, employee, agent, fiduciary or trustee of any Member or of any Affiliate of a Member) has duties (including fiduciary duties) to the Company, to the Manager, to another Member, to any Person who acquires an interest in a Company Interest or to any other Person bound by this Agreement, all such duties (including fiduciary duties) are hereby eliminated, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and replaced with the duties or standards expressly set forth herein, if any. The elimination of duties (including fiduciary duties) to the Company, the Manager, each of the Members, each other Person who acquires an interest in a Company Interest and each other Person bound by this Agreement and replacement thereof with the duties or standards expressly set forth herein, if any, are approved by the Company, the Manager, each of the Members, each other Person who acquires an interest in a Company Interest and each other Person bound by this Agreement.

Section 7.02 Lack of Authority. No Member, other than the Manager or a duly appointed Officer, in each case in its capacity as such, has the authority or power to act for or on behalf of the Company, to do any act that would be binding on the Company or to make any expenditure on behalf of the Company. The Members hereby consent to the exercise by the Manager of the powers conferred on them by Law and this Agreement.

Section 7.03 No Right of Partition. No Member, other than the Manager, shall have the right to seek or obtain partition by court decree or operation of Law of any Company property, or the right to own or use particular or individual assets of the Company.

Section 7.04 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to Section 5.05, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Person (each an “Indemnified Person”) to the fullest extent permitted under the Act, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, substituted or replaced (but, in the case of any such amendment, substitution or replacement only to the extent that such amendment, substitution or replacement permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than the Company is providing immediately prior to such amendment), against all expenses, liabilities and losses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Person (or one or more of such Person’s Affiliates) by reason of the fact that such Person is or was a Member or is or was serving at the request of the Company as the Manager, an Officer, an employee or another agent of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a manager, member, employee or agent of another limited liability

 

34


company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise; provided, however, that no Indemnified Person shall be indemnified for actions against the Company, the Manager or Managers, or any other Members or which are not made in good faith and not or in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding other than by or in the right of the Company, had reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful, or for any present or future breaches of any representations, warranties or covenants by such Indemnified Person or its Affiliates contained herein or in the other agreements with the Company. Expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by any such Indemnified Person in defending a proceeding shall be paid by the Company as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.

(b) The right to indemnification and the advancement of expenses conferred in this Section 7.04 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, agreement, bylaw, action by the Manager or otherwise.

(c) The Company shall maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, or make other financial arrangements, at its expense, to protect any Indemnified Person (and the investment funds, if any, they represent) against any expense, liability or loss described in Section 7.04(a) whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Indemnified Person against such expense, liability or loss under the provisions of this Section 7.04. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to purchase directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (including employment practices coverage) with a carrier and in an amount determined necessary or desirable as determined in good faith by the Manager.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (including in this Section 7.04), the Company agrees that any indemnification and advancement of expenses available to any current or former Indemnified Person from any investment fund that is an Affiliate of the Company who served as a director of the Company or as a Member of the Company by virtue of such Person’s service as a member, director, partner or employee of any such fund prior to or following the Effective Time (any such Person, a “Sponsor Person”) shall be secondary to the indemnification and advancement of expenses to be provided by the Company pursuant to this Section 7.04 which shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only and no Member (unless such Member otherwise agrees in writing or is found in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction to have personal liability on account thereof) shall have personal liability on account thereof or shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to help satisfy such indemnity of the Company and the Company (i) shall be the primary indemnitor of first resort for such Sponsor Person pursuant to this Section 7.04 and (ii) shall be fully responsible for the advancement of all expenses and the payment of all damages or liabilities with respect to such Sponsor Person which are addressed by this Section 7.04.

(e) If this Section 7.04 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 7.04 to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 7.04 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

 

35


Section 7.05 Members Right to Act. For matters that require the approval of the Members, the Members shall act through meetings and written consents as described in paragraphs (a) and (b) below:

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement, acts by the Members holding a majority of the Common Units, voting together as a single class, shall be the acts of the Members. Any Member entitled to vote at a meeting of Members or to express consent or dissent to Company action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for it by proxy. An electronic mail or similar transmission by the Member, or a photographic, photostatic, facsimile or similar reproduction of a writing executed by the Member shall (if stated thereon) be treated as a proxy executed in writing for purposes of this Section 7.05(a). No proxy shall be voted or acted upon after eleven months from the date thereof, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be revocable unless the proxy form conspicuously states that the proxy is irrevocable and that the proxy is coupled with an interest. Should a proxy designate two or more Persons to act as proxies, unless that instrument shall provide to the contrary, a majority of such Persons present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or, if only one be present, then such powers may be exercised by that one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any particular issue, the Company shall not be required to recognize such proxy with respect to such issue if such proxy does not specify how the votes that are the subject of such proxy are to be voted with respect to such issue.

(b) The actions by the Members permitted hereunder may be taken at a meeting called by the Manager or by the Members holding a majority of the Units entitled to vote on such matter on at least 48 hours’ prior written notice to the other Members entitled to vote, which notice shall state the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is being called. The actions taken by the Members entitled to vote or consent at any meeting (as opposed to by written consent), however called and noticed, shall be as valid as though taken at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if (but not until), either before, at or after the meeting, the Members entitled to vote or consent as to whom it was improperly held signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to the holding of such meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. The actions by the Members entitled to vote or consent may be taken by vote of the Members entitled to vote or consent at a meeting or by written consent, so long as such consent is signed by Members having not less than the minimum number of Units that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Members entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the action so taken, which shall state the purpose or purposes for which such consent is required and may be delivered via email, without a meeting shall be given to those Members entitled to vote or consent who have not consented in writing; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not affect the validity of the action taken by such written consent. Any action taken pursuant to such written consent of the Members shall have the same force and effect as if taken by the Members at a meeting thereof.

ARTICLE IX.

TAX MATTERS

Section 9.01 Preparation of Tax Returns. The Manager shall arrange for the preparation and timely filing of all tax returns required to be filed by the Company. No later than the later of (i) March 15 following the end of the prior Fiscal Year or as soon as practicable thereafter, and (ii) 30 Business Days after the issuance of the final financial statement report for a Fiscal Year by the Company’s auditors, or as soon as practical there after, the Company shall send to each Person who was a Member at any time during such Fiscal Year, a statement showing such Member’s final state tax apportionment information and allocations to the Members of taxable income, gains, losses, deductions and credits for such Fiscal Year and a completed IRS Schedule K-1.

Section 9.03 Tax Controversies. Pursuant to the Revised Partnership Audit Provisions, the PC Corp shall be designated and may, on behalf of the Company, at any time, and without further notice to or consent from any Member, act as the “partnership representative” of the Company (within the meaning given to such term in Section 6223 of the Code) (the “Partnership Representative”) for purposes of the Code. The Partnership Representative shall have the right and obligation to take all actions authorized and required, respectively, by the Code for the Partnership Representative and is authorized and required to represent the Company (at the Company’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Company’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend Company funds for professional services reasonably incurred in connection therewith. Each Member agrees to cooperate with the Company and to do or refrain from doing any or all things reasonably requested by the Company with respect to the conduct of such proceedings. The Partnership Representative shall keep all Members fully advised on a current basis of any contacts by or discussions with the tax authorities, and the Members shall have the right to observe and participate through representatives of their own choosing (at their sole expense) in any tax proceedings. Nothing herein shall diminish, limit or restrict the rights of any Member under the Revised Partnership Audit Provisions.

Section 9.04 Withholding.

(a) To the extent the Company is required by applicable Laws or any tax treaty to withhold or to otherwise make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Member or affiliate of such Member, the Company shall withhold and make such tax payments as so required. To the extent that any distributions that would otherwise be made to such Member at or about the time when the Company will make such tax payment equal or exceed the amount of such tax payments, the amount of such tax payments shall constitute an advance by the Company to such Member and shall be repaid to the Company by reducing the amount of the current distributions that would otherwise have been made to such Member. To the extent that such tax payments exceed the distributions that would otherwise be made to such Member at or about the time when the Company will make the tax payments, such Member shall make a Capital Contribution equal to the difference between the amount of the tax payment and the amount of such Member’s distribution at such time and the difference shall be deemed a “cash call” with respect to such Member. If such Member fails to pay such “cash call” within the later of five (5) days prior to the date that such tax payment by the Company will be made or fifteen (15) days from notice from the Company that a tax payment will be made on behalf of such Member, in order to permit the Company to make the relevant tax payment, any other Member may elect to make a Capital Contribution equal to the “cash call” that the owing Member failed to make or to reduce the distributions that would otherwise be made to such other Member at or about the time when the Company will make the tax payment in a similar amount.

(b) If such other Member, by reason of such a payment (or deemed payment) on behalf of an owing Member made pursuant to Section 9.04(a), is required by applicable Laws or any tax treaty to withhold or to make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to the owing Member, any such tax payments by such other Member shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement only as if such tax payments had been Capital Contributions and had been tax payments made by the Company pursuant to Section 9.04(a).

 

38


(c) In the event any Member transfers or otherwise disposes of an interest in the Company and otherwise fails to deliver an IRS Form W-9 or another validly executed and timely provided certificate as provided in Code Section 1446(f) or Treasury Regulations to be promulgated thereunder, such Person shall either: (i) deliver to the Company, not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the effective time of any transfer or other disposition, cash constituting 10% of the total consideration price to be received by such Person pursuant to such transfer or other disposition; or (ii) deliver to the Company, not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the effective time of any transfer or other disposition, adequate security with a fair market value equal to, or exceeding, 10% of the total consideration price to be received by such Person pursuant to such transfer or other disposition, which cash or security may be used by the Company to satisfy any withholding taxes applicable to such transfer or other disposition in accordance with applicable Law.

ARTICLE X.

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF UNITS

Section 10.01 Transfers by Members. No holder of Units may Transfer any interest in any Units, except Transfers (a) pursuant to and in accordance with Section 10.02 or (b) approved in writing by the Manager; provided that holders of LTIP Units shall not be permitted to Transfer such LTIP Units until the later of (i) the two-year anniversary of the date of grant thereof; or (ii) the date on which such LTIP Units are fully vested. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Transfer” shall not include an event that terminates the existence of a Member for income tax purposes (including a change in entity classification of a Member under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3, termination of a partnership pursuant to Code Section 708(b)(1)(B), a sale of assets by, or liquidation of, a Member pursuant to an election under Code Sections 336 or 338, or merger, severance, or allocation within a trust or among sub-trusts of a trust that is a Member), but that does not terminate the existence of such Member under applicable state law (or, in the case of a trust that is a Member, does not terminate the trusteeship of the fiduciaries under such trust with respect to all the Company Interests of such trust that is a Member).

Section 10.02 Permitted Transfers. Except with respect to the Transfer restrictions specific to LTIP Units, the restrictions contained in Section 10.01 shall not apply to any Transfer (each, a “Permitted Transfer”) pursuant to (i)(A) a Redemption or Exchange in accordance with Article XI hereof or (B) a Transfer by a Member to Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries including the PC Corp; (ii) a Transfer by any Member to such Member’s spouse, any lineal ascendants or descendants or trusts or other entities in which such Member or Member’s spouse, lineal ascendants or descendants hold (and continue to hold while such trusts or other entities hold Units) 50% or more of such entity’s beneficial interests; (iii) the laws of descent and distribution and (iv) a Transfer to a partner, shareholder, unitholder, member or Affiliated investment fund of such Member; provided, however, that (A) the restrictions contained in this Agreement will continue to apply to Units after any Permitted Transfer of such Units, and (B) in the case of the foregoing clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), the transferees of the Units so Transferred shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and, the transferor will deliver a written notice to the Company, which notice will disclose in reasonable detail the identity of the proposed transferee. All Permitted Transfers are subject to the additional limitations set forth in Section 10.07(b).

 

39


Section 10.03 Restricted Units Legend. The Units have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, in addition to the other restrictions on Transfer contained in this Agreement, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is then available. To the extent such Units have been certificated, each certificate evidencing Units and each certificate issued in exchange for or upon the Transfer of any Units (if such securities remain Units as defined herein after such Transfer) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SPECIFIED IN THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LLC AGREEMENT OF CRESCO LABS, LLC, AS MAY BE AMENDED AND MODIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND CRESCO LABS, LLC RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE THE TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES UNTIL SUCH CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED WITH RESPECT TO ANY TRANSFER. A COPY OF SUCH CONDITIONS SHALL BE FURNISHED BY CRESCO LABS, LLC TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE.”

The Company shall imprint such legend on certificates (if any) evidencing Units. The legend set forth above shall be removed from the certificates (if any) evidencing any units which cease to be Units in accordance with the definition thereof.

Section 10.04 Transfer. Prior to Transferring any Units, the Transferring holder of Units shall cause the prospective transferee to be bound by this Agreement as provided in Section 10.02 and any other agreements executed by the holders of Units and relating to such Units in the aggregate (collectively, the “Other Agreements”), and shall cause the prospective transferee to execute and deliver to the Company and the other holders of Units counterparts of this Agreement and any applicable Other Agreements. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Units in violation of any provision of this Agreement (including any prohibited indirect Transfers) shall be void, and in the event of any such Transfer or attempted Transfer, the Company shall not record such Transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such Units as the owner of such securities for any purpose.

Section 10.05 Assignee’s Rights.

(a) The Transfer of a Company Interest in accordance with this Agreement shall be effective as of the date of its assignment (assuming compliance with all of the conditions to such Transfer set forth herein), and such Transfer shall be shown on the books and records of the Company. Profits, Losses and other Company items shall be allocated between the transferor and the Assignee according to Code Section 706, using any permissible method as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Manager. Distributions made before the effective date of such Transfer shall be paid to the transferor, and Distributions made after such date shall be paid to the Assignee.

(b) Unless and until an Assignee becomes a Member pursuant to ARTICLE XII, the Assignee shall not be entitled to any of the rights granted to a Member hereunder or under applicable Law, other than the rights granted specifically to Assignees pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that, without relieving the transferring Member from any such limitations or obligations as more fully described in Section 10.06, such Assignee shall be bound by any limitations and obligations of a Member contained herein that a Member would be bound on account of the Assignee’s Company Interest (including the obligation to make Capital Contributions on account of such Company Interest).

Section 10.06 Assignor’s Rights and Obligations. Any Member who shall Transfer any Company Interest in a manner in accordance with this Agreement shall cease to be a Member with respect to such Units or other interest and shall no longer have any rights or privileges, or, except as set forth in this Section 10.06, duties, liabilities or obligations, of a Member with respect to such Units or other interest (it being understood, however, that the applicable provisions of Sections 6.08 and 7.04 shall continue to inure to such Person’s benefit), except that unless and until the Assignee (if not already a Member) is admitted as a Substituted Member in accordance with the provisions of ARTICLE XII (the “Admission Date”), such assigning Member shall retain all of the duties, liabilities and obligations of a Member with respect to such Units or other interest, and the Manager may, in its sole discretion, reinstate all or any portion of the rights and privileges of such Member with respect to such Units or other interest for any period of time prior to the Admission Date. Nothing contained herein shall relieve any Member who Transfers any Units or other interest in the Company from any liability of such Member to the Company with respect to such Company Interest that may exist on the Admission Date or that is otherwise specified in the Act and incorporated into this Agreement or for any liability to the Company or any other Person for any materially false statement made by such Member (in its capacity as such) or for any present or future breaches of any representations, warranties or covenants by such Member (in its capacity as such) contained herein or in the other agreements with the Company.

Section 10.07 Overriding Provisions.

(a) Any Transfer in violation of this Article X shall be null and void ab initio, and the provisions of Sections 10.05 and 10.06 shall not apply to any such Transfers. For the avoidance of doubt, any Person to whom a Transfer is made or attempted in violation of this Article X shall not become a Member, shall not be entitled to vote on any matters coming before the Members and shall not have any other rights in or with respect to any rights of a Member of the Company. The approval of any Transfer in any one or more instances shall not limit or waive the requirement for such approval in any other or future instance. The Manager shall promptly amend the Schedule of Members to reflect any Permitted Transfer pursuant to this Article X.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 10.01 and Article XI and Article XII), in no event shall any Member Transfer any Units to the extent such Transfer could, in the reasonable determination of the Manager:

(i) result in a violation of the Securities Act, or any other applicable federal, state or foreign Laws;

 

41


(ii) cause an assignment under the Investment Company Act;

(iii) be a violation of or a default (or an event that, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in an acceleration of any indebtedness under, any promissory note, mortgage, loan agreement, indenture or similar instrument or agreement to which the Company or the Manager is a party; provided that the payee or creditor to whom the Company or the Manager owes such obligation is not an Affiliate of the Company or the Manager;

(iv) cause the Company to lose its status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes or, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Transfer was effected on or through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof,” as such terms are used in Section 1.7704-1 of the Treasury Regulations;

(v) be a Transfer to a Person who is not legally competent or who has not achieved his or her majority under applicable Law (excluding trusts for the benefit of minors);

(vi) cause the Company or any Member or the Manager to be treated as a fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended;

(vii) cause the Company (as determined by the Manager in its sole discretion) to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” or to be taxed as a corporation pursuant to Section 7704 of the Code or successor provision of the Code; or

(viii) result in the Company having more than one hundred (100) “partners”, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(1) (determined pursuant to the rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(3)) in any Taxable Year that is not a Restricted Taxable Year.

ARTICLE XI.

REDEMPTION AND EXCHANGE RIGHTS

Section 11.01 Redemption Right of a Member.

(a) Redemption Notice.

(i) Subject to the provisions set forth in this Section 11.01, each Member holding Common Units (other than the PC Corp) shall be entitled to cause the Company to redeem (a “Common Unit Redemption”) its Common Units unless such Member has entered into a contractual lock-up agreement in connection with the Public Listing and relating to the shares of Pubco that may be applicable to such Member, and then beginning on the date such lock-up agreement has been waived or terminated as it applies to such Member. A Member desiring to exercise its Redemption Right (the “Redeeming Member”) shall exercise such right by giving written notice (the “Redemption Notice”) to the Company with a copy to the Manager and to PC Corp. The Redemption Notice shall specify the number of Common Units (the “Redeemed Units”), that the Redeeming

 

42


Member intends to have the Company redeem and a date (unless and to the extent that the Manager in its sole discretion agrees in writing to waive such time periods) on which exercise of the Redemption Right shall be completed, which complies with the requirements set forth in Section 11.01(a)(ii) (the “Redemption Date”); provided that (x) if the Redemption Date occurs in a Restricted Taxable Year, the Redemption Date must be a date that satisfies the conditions of Section 11.01(a)(ii), and (y) the Company, the Manager, PC Corp and the Redeeming Member may change the number of Redeemed Units and/or the Redemption Date specified in such Redemption Notice to another number and/or date by mutual agreement signed in writing by each of them. Unless the Redeeming Member has delayed a Redemption as provided in Section 11.01(c), on the Redemption Date (to be effective immediately prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date) (A) the Redeeming Member shall transfer and surrender the Redeemed Units to the Company, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, and (B) the Company shall transfer to the Redeeming Member the consideration to which the Redeeming Member is entitled under Section 11.01(b), provided that, if such Units are certificated, the Company shall issue to the Redeeming Member a certificate for a number of Common Units equal to the difference (if any) between the number of Common Units evidenced by the certificate surrendered by the Redeeming Member pursuant to clause (B) of this Section 11.01(a)(i) and the Redeemed Units.

(ii) Any Redemption Date that occurs in a Restricted Taxable Year must be a Quarterly Redemption Date not less than sixty (60) days after delivery of the applicable Redemption Notice. Any Redemption Date that occurs in a year that is not a Restricted Taxable Year must be not less than seven (7) Business Days nor more than ten (10) Business Days after delivery of the applicable Redemption Notice.

(b) In exercising its Redemption Right, a Redeeming Member shall be entitled to receive the Share Settlement or the Cash Settlement; provided that the Manager shall have the option as provided in Section 11.02 and subject to Section 11.01(d) to select whether the redemption payment is made by means of a Share Settlement or a Cash Settlement. Within three (3) Business Days of delivery of the Redemption Notice, the Manager shall give written notice (the “Contribution Notice”) to the Company (with a copy to the Redeeming Member) of its intended settlement method and the amount of the Cash Settlement or the number and class of shares of the Share Settlement (such shares, the “Settlement Shares”), as applicable; provided that if the Manager does not timely deliver a Contribution Notice, the Manager shall be deemed to have elected the Share Settlement method.

(c) In the event the Manager elects a Share Settlement in connection with a Redemption, a Redeeming Member shall be entitled to revoke its Redemption Notice or delay the consummation of a Redemption if any of the following conditions exists: (i) any registration statement pursuant to which the resale of the Settlement Shares to be registered for such Redeeming Member at or immediately following the consummation of the Redemption shall have ceased to be effective pursuant to any action or inaction by the CSE or any other Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over the Settlement Shares or no such resale registration statement has yet become effective; (ii) if the Redemption is conditional on the resulting Settlement Shares being qualified for distribution under a prospectus on terms which Pubco has agreed to, Pubco shall have failed to cause such a prospectus to be filed and receipted by the applicable securities regulatory

 

43


authorities in accordance with the conditions to the Redemption; (iii) Pubco shall have exercised its right to defer, delay or suspend the filing or effectiveness of a registration statement and such deferral, delay or suspension shall affect the ability of such Redeeming Member to have its Settlement Shares registered at or immediately following the consummation of the Redemption; (iv) Pubco shall have disclosed to such Redeeming Member any material non-public information concerning Pubco, the receipt of which could reasonably be determined to result in such Redeeming Member being prohibited or restricted from selling Settlement Shares at or immediately following the Redemption without disclosure of such information (and Pubco does not permit disclosure); (v) any stop order or cease trade order relating to the Settlement Shares was to be registered by such Redeeming Member at or immediately following the Redemption shall have been issued by the CSE or any other applicable exchange or an applicable securities regulatory authority; (vi) there shall have occurred a material disruption in the securities markets generally or in the market or markets in which the Settlement Shares is then traded; (vii) there shall be in effect an injunction, a restraining order or a decree of any nature of any Governmental Entity that restrains or prohibits the Redemption; (viii) the Redemption Date would occur three (3) Business Days or less prior to, or during, a Black-Out Period; provided further, that in no event shall the Redeeming Member seeking to revoke its Redemption Notice or delay the consummation of such Redemption and relying on any of the matters contemplated in clauses (i) through (viii) above have controlled or intentionally materially influenced any facts, circumstances, or Persons in connection therewith (except in the good faith performance of his or her duties as an officer or director of Pubco) in order to provide such Redeeming Member with a basis for such delay or revocation. If a Redeeming Member delays the consummation of a Redemption pursuant to this Section 11.01(c), the Redemption Date shall occur on the fifth Business Day following the date on which the conditions giving rise to such delay cease to exist (or such earlier day as the Manager, Pubco, the Company and such Redeeming Member may agree in writing).

(d) The number of Settlement Shares or the Redeemed Units Equivalent that a Redeeming Member is entitled to receive under Section 11.01(b) (through a Share Settlement or Cash Settlement, as applicable) shall not be adjusted on account of any Distributions previously made with respect to the Redeemed Units or dividends previously paid with respect to Settlement Shares; provided, however, that if a Redeeming Member causes the Company to redeem Redeemed Units and the Redemption Date occurs subsequent to the record date for any Distribution with respect to the Redeemed Units but prior to payment of such Distribution, the Redeeming Member shall be entitled to receive such Distribution with respect to the Redeemed Units on the date that it is made notwithstanding that the Redeeming Member transferred and surrendered the Redeemed Units to the Company prior to such date.

(e) In the event of a reclassification or other similar transaction as a result of which the Settlement Shares are converted into another security, then in exercising its Redemption Right a Redeeming Member shall be entitled to receive the amount of such security that the Redeeming Member would have received if such Redemption Right had been exercised and the Redemption Date had occurred immediately prior to the record date (or effective date in the event that there is no associated record date) of such reclassification or other similar transaction.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of the Company, the Manager, PC Corp and Pubco shall not be obligated to effectuate a Redemption if such Redemption (in the sole discretion of the Manager) could cause the Company to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” or to be taxed as a corporation pursuant Section 7704 of the Code or successor provisions of the Code.

 

44


Section 11.02 Election of the PC Corp and Redemption of Redeemed Units. In connection with the exercise of a Redeeming Member’s Redemption Rights under Section 11.01(a), PC Corp shall contribute to the Company the consideration the Redeeming Member is entitled to receive under Section 11.01(b). The PC Corp, at its option, shall determine whether to contribute, pursuant to Section 11.01(b), the Share Settlement or the Cash Settlement. Unless the Redeeming Member has revoked or delayed a Redemption as provided in Section 11.01(c), on the Redemption Date (to be effective immediately prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date) (i) the PC Corp shall make its Capital Contribution to the Company (in the form of the Share Settlement or the Cash Settlement) required under this Section 11.02, and (ii) the Company shall issue to the PC Corp a number of Common Units equal to the number of Redeemed Units surrendered by the Redeeming Member. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the PC Corp elects a Cash Settlement, the PC Corp shall only be obligated to contribute to the Company an amount in respect of such Cash Settlement equal to the net proceeds from the sale by Pubco of a number of Settlement Shares equal to the number of Redeemed Units to be redeemed with such Cash Settlement provided that the PC Corp’s Capital Account shall be increased by an amount equal to any Discount relating to such sale of Settlement Shares in accordance with Section 6.06.

Section 11.03 Exchange Right of the PC Corp.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article XI, the PC Corp may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to effect on the Redemption Date the exchange of Redeemed Units for the Share Settlement or Cash Settlement, as the case may be, through a direct exchange of such Redeemed Units and such consideration between the Redeeming Member and the PC Corp (a “Direct Exchange”). Upon such Direct Exchange pursuant to this Section 11.03, the PC Corp shall acquire the Redeemed Units and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as the owner of such Redeemed Units.

(b) The PC Corp may, at any time prior to a Redemption Date, deliver written notice (an “Exchange Election Notice”) to the Company and the Redeeming Member setting forth its election to exercise its right to consummate a Direct Exchange; provided that such election does not prejudice the ability of the parties to consummate a Redemption or Direct Exchange on the Redemption Date. An Exchange Election Notice may be revoked by the PC Corp at any time; provided that any such revocation does not prejudice the ability of the parties to consummate a Redemption or Direct Exchange on the Redemption Date. The right to consummate a Direct Exchange in all events shall be exercisable for all the Redeemed Units that would have otherwise been subject to a Redemption. Except as otherwise provided by this Section 11.03, a Direct Exchange shall be consummated pursuant to the same timeframe and in the same manner as the relevant Redemption would have been consummated if the PC Corp had not delivered an Exchange Election Notice.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the PC Corp may, in its sole and absolute discretion, assign to Pubco its rights and obligations under this Section 11.03 to consummate a Direct Exchange with the Redeeming Member.

 

45


Section 11.04 Effect of Exercise of Redemption or Exchange Right. This Agreement shall continue notwithstanding the consummation of a Redemption or Direct Exchange and all governance or other rights set forth herein shall be exercised by the remaining Members and the Redeeming Member (to the extent of such Redeeming Member’s remaining interest in the Company). No Redemption or Direct Exchange shall relieve such Redeeming Member of any prior breach of this Agreement.

Section 11.05 Tax Treatment. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree a Redemption or a Direct Exchange, as the case may be, shall be treated as a direct exchange between PC Corp or Pubco, as applicable, and the Redeeming Member for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes.

ARTICLE XII.

ADMISSION OF MEMBERS

Section 12.01 Substituted Members. Subject to the provisions of ARTICLE X hereof, in connection with the Permitted Transfer of a Company Interest hereunder, the transferee shall become a substituted Member (“Substituted Member”) on the effective date of such Permitted Transfer, which effective date shall not be earlier than the date of compliance with the conditions to such Transfer, and such admission shall be shown on the books and records of the Company.

Section 12.02 Additional Members. Subject to the provisions of ARTICLE X hereof, any Person that is not an Original Member may be admitted to the Company as an additional Member (any such Person, an “Additional Member”) only upon furnishing to the Manager (a) counterparts of this Agreement and any applicable Other Agreements and (b) such other documents or instruments as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect such Person’s admission as a Member (including entering into such documents as the Manager may deem appropriate in its reasonable discretion). Such admission shall become effective on the date on which the Manager determines in its reasonable discretion that such conditions have been satisfied and when any such admission is shown on the books and records of the Company.

ARTICLE XIII.

WITHDRAWAL AND RESIGNATION; TERMINATION OF RIGHTS

Section 13.01 Withdrawal and Resignation of Members. No Member shall have the power or right to withdraw or otherwise resign as a Member from the Company prior to the dissolution and winding up of the Company pursuant to ARTICLE XIV. Any Member, however, that attempts to withdraw or otherwise resign as a Member from the Company without the prior written consent of the Manager upon or following the dissolution and winding up of the Company pursuant to ARTICLE XIV, but prior to such Member receiving the full amount of Distributions from the Company to which such Member is entitled pursuant to ARTICLE XIV, shall be liable to the Company for all damages (including all lost profits and special, indirect and consequential damages) directly or indirectly caused by the withdrawal or resignation of such Member. Upon a Transfer of all of a Member’s Units in a Transfer permitted by this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Section 10.06, such Member shall cease to be a Member.

 

46


ARTICLE XIV.

DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

Section 14.01 Dissolution. The Company shall not be dissolved by the admission of Additional Members or Substituted Members or the attempted withdrawal or resignation of a Member. The Company shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon:

(a) the decision of the Manager together with the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding Common Units entitled to vote to dissolve the Company;

(b) a dissolution of the Company under the Act; or

(c) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company under the Act.

Except as otherwise set forth in this ARTICLE XIV, the Company is intended to have perpetual existence. An Event of Withdrawal shall not cause a dissolution of the Company and the Company shall continue in existence subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 14.02 Liquidation and Termination. On dissolution of the Company, the Manager shall act as liquidator or may appoint one or more Persons as liquidator. The liquidators shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final distributions as provided herein and in the Act. The costs of liquidation shall be borne as a Company expense. Until final distribution, the liquidators shall continue to operate the Company properties with all of the power and authority of the Manager. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidators are as follows:

(a) as promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the liquidators shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the Company’s assets, liabilities and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable;

(b) the liquidators shall cause the notice described in the Act to be mailed to each known creditor of and claimant against the Company in the manner described thereunder;

(c) the liquidators shall pay, satisfy or discharge from Company funds, or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including the establishment of a cash fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidators may reasonably determine): first, all expenses incurred in liquidation; and second, all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company; and

(d) all remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with ARTICLE IV by the end of the Taxable Year during which the liquidation of the Company occurs (or, if later, by ninety (90) days after the date of the liquidation). The distribution of cash and/or property to the Members in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.02 and Section 14.03 below constitutes a complete return to the Members of their Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Members of their interest in the Company and all the Company’s property. To the extent that a Member returns funds to the Company, such returning Member has no claim against any other Member for those funds.

 

47


Section 14.03 Deferment; Distribution in Kind. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.02, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if upon dissolution of the Company the liquidators determine that an immediate sale of part or all of the Company’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss (or would otherwise not be beneficial) to the Members, the liquidators may, in their sole discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy Company liabilities (other than loans to the Company by Members) and reserves. Subject to the order of priorities set forth in Section 14.02, the liquidators may, in their sole discretion, distribute to the Members, in lieu of cash, either (a) all or any portion of such remaining Company assets in-kind in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.02(d), (b) as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.02(d), undivided interests in all or any portion of such Company assets or (c) a combination of the foregoing. Any such Distributions in kind shall be subject to (y) such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such assets as the liquidators deem reasonable and equitable and (z) the terms and conditions of any agreements governing such assets (or the operation thereof or the holders thereof) at such time. Any Company assets distributed in kind will first be written up or down to their Fair Market Value, thus creating Profit or Loss (if any), which shall be allocated in accordance with ARTICLE V. The liquidators shall determine the Fair Market Value of any property distributed in accordance with the valuation procedures set forth in ARTICLE XV.

Section 14.04 Cancellation of Certificate. On completion of the distribution of Company assets as provided herein, the Company is terminated (and the Company shall not be terminated prior to such time), and the Manager (or such other Person or Persons as the Act may require or permit) shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of Illinois, cancel any other filings made pursuant to this Agreement that are or should be canceled and take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company. The Company shall be deemed to continue in existence for all purposes of this Agreement until it is terminated pursuant to this Section 14.04.

Section 14.05 Reasonable Time for Winding Up. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding up of the business and affairs of the Company and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Sections 14.02 and 14.03 in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding up.

Section 14.06 Return of Capital. The liquidators shall not be personally liable for the return of Capital Contributions or any portion thereof to the Members (it being understood that any such return shall be made solely from Company assets).

ARTICLE XV.

VALUATION

Section 15.01 Determination. “Fair Market Value” of a specific Company asset will mean the amount which the Company would receive in an all-cash sale of such asset in an arms-length transaction with a willing unaffiliated third party, with neither party having any compulsion to buy or sell, consummated on the day immediately preceding the date on which the event occurred which necessitated the determination of the Fair Market Value (and after giving effect to any transfer taxes payable in connection with such sale), as such amount is determined by the Manager (or, if pursuant to Section 14.02, the liquidators) in its good faith judgment using all factors, information and data it deems to be pertinent.

 

48


Section 15.02 Dispute Resolution. If any Member or Members dispute the accuracy of any determination of Fair Market Value in accordance with Section 15.01, and the Manager and such Member(s) are unable to agree on the determination of the Fair Market Value of any asset of the Company, the Manager and such Member(s) shall each select a nationally recognized investment banking firm experienced in valuing securities of closely-held companies such as the Company in the Company’s industry (the “Appraisers”), who shall each determine the Fair Market Value of the asset or the Company (as applicable) in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.01. The Appraisers shall be instructed to give written notice of their determination of the Fair Market Value of the asset or the Company (as applicable) within thirty (30) days of their appointment as Appraisers. If Fair Market Value as determined by an Appraiser is higher than Fair Market Value as determined by the other Appraiser by 10% or more, and the Manager and such Member(s) do not otherwise agree on a Fair Market Value, the original Appraisers shall designate a third Appraiser meeting the same criteria used to select the original two. If Fair Market Value as determined by an Appraiser is within 10% of the Fair Market Value as determined by the other Appraiser (but not identical), and the Manager and such Member(s) do not otherwise agree on a Fair Market Value, the Manager shall select the Fair Market Value of one of the Appraisers. The fees and expenses of the Appraisers shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that if the Fair Market Value as determined through the appraisal method in this Section 15.02, is within 10% of the Fair Market Value originally determined by the Company under Section 15.01, the Member(s) electing to exercise their rights under this Section 15.02 shall bear all of the fees and expenses of the Appraisers.

ARTICLE XVI.

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Illinois or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Illinois.

Section 16.11 Disputes. Any claim or controversy between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any breach hereof shall be submitted to FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE JAMS IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, COUNTY COOK AND CITY OF CHICAGO, PURSUANT TO THE JAMS COMPREHENSIVE ARBITRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES. ALL PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED BEFORE A SINGLE JAMS ARBITRATOR WHO IS A RETIRED ILLINOIS OR FEDERAL JUDGE OR JUSTICE. The parties shall mutually agree on one arbitrator from the list provided by the arbitrating organization; provided that if the parties cannot agree, then each party shall select one arbitrator from the list, and the two (2) arbitrators so selected shall agree upon a third (3rd) arbitrator chosen from the same list, which third (3rd) arbitrator shall determine the dispute. The arbitrator shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have the power to grant all legal and equitable remedies including provisional remedies and award compensatory damages provided by law; however, the arbitrator shall not have authority to award punitive or exemplary damages. The cost of the arbitration shall initially be borne equally among the parties; provided, however the arbitrator shall award costs and attorneys’ fees in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The prevailing party in any arbitration or litigation shall be reimbursed for its arbitration costs (including attorneys’ fees) by the non-prevailing party. The parties further agree that, upon application of the prevailing party, any Judge of a court located in Cook County in the State of Illinois may enter a judgment based on the final arbitration award issued by the JAMS arbitrator, and the parties expressly agree to submit to the jurisdiction of this Court for such a purpose. No action at law or in equity based upon any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be instituted in any court by any party (or their respective equity holders) except (A) an action to compel arbitration pursuant to this Section 16.11; or (B) an action to enforce an award obtained in an arbitration proceeding in accordance with this Section 16.11.

THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT BY AGREEMENT TO BINDING ARBITRATION THEY ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHTS THEY MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO TRIAL BY A

 

52


COURT OR A JURY AND ALL RIGHTS OF APPEAL AND TO AN AWARD OF PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES. Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, this Section 16.11 shall be construed to the maximum extent possible to comply with the laws of the State of Illinois, including the Uniform Arbitration Act (710 ILCS 5/1 et seq.) (the “Illinois Uniform Arbitration Act”). If, nevertheless, it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provision or wording of this Section 16.11, including any rules of JAMS, shall be invalid or unenforceable under the Illinois Arbitration Act, or other applicable law, such invalidity shall not invalidate all of this Section 16.11. In that case, this Section 16.11 shall be construed so as to limit any term or provision so as to make it valid or enforceable within the requirements of the Illinois Arbitration Act or other applicable law, and, in the event such term or provision cannot be so limited, this Section 16.11 shall be construed to omit such invalid or unenforceable provision.

Section 16.12 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

Section 16.13 Further Action. The parties shall execute and deliver all documents, provide all information and take or refrain from taking such actions as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to achieve the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 16.14 Delivery by Electronic Transmission. This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement or contemplated hereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of an electronic transmission, including by a facsimile machine or via email, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of electronic transmission by a facsimile machine or via email to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through such electronic transmission as a defense to the formation of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

Section 16.15 Right of Offset. Whenever the Company is to pay any sum (other than pursuant to Article IV) to any Member, any amounts that such Member owes to the Company which are not the subject of a good faith dispute may be deducted from that sum before payment. For the avoidance of doubt, the distribution of Units to the PC Corp shall not be subject to this Section 16.15.

Section 16.16 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be effective immediately after the time at which the later of the PC Corp Unit Contribution and the PC Corp Subscription became effective (the “Effective Time”). The Prior LLC Agreement shall govern the rights and obligations of the Company and the other parties to this Agreement in their capacity as Unitholders prior to the Effective Time.

 

53


Section 16.17 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, those documents expressly referred to herein (including the Support Agreement and the Tax Receivable Agreement), any indemnity agreements entered into in connection with the Prior LLC Agreement with the manager at that time and other documents of even date herewith embody the complete agreement and understanding among the parties and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way. For the avoidance of doubt, the Prior LLC Agreement is superseded by this Agreement as of the Effective Time and shall be of no further force and effect thereafter.

Section 16.18 Remedies. Each Member shall have all rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement and all rights and remedies which such Person has been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such Person has under any Law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement or any other agreements contemplated hereby shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by Law.

Section 16.19 Descriptive Headings; Interpretation. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a substantive part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa. The use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than by limitation and shall mean, “including, without limitation”. Reference to any agreement, document or instrument means such agreement, document or instrument as amended or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, and if applicable hereof. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, no amendment or other modification to any agreement, document or instrument that requires the consent of any Person pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement will be given effect hereunder unless such Person has consented in writing to such amendment or modification. Wherever required by the context, references to a Fiscal Year shall refer to a portion thereof. The use of the words “or,” “either” and “any” shall not be exclusive. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Wherever a conflict exists between this Agreement and any other agreement, this Agreement shall control but solely to the extent of such conflict.

Exhibit A

LTIP UNITS

1.1 Designation. A class of Membership Units in the Company designated as “LTIP Units” is hereby established. LTIP Units are intended to qualify as “profits interests” in the Company. Two initial series of LTIP Units designated as “AO LTIP Units” and “FV LTIP Units,” respectively, are hereby established. The number of LTIP Units, AO LTIP Units and FV LTIP Units that may be issued by the Company shall not be limited.

1.2 Vesting. LTIP Units may, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, be issued subject to vesting, forfeiture and additional restrictions on transfer pursuant to the terms of an award, vesting or other similar agreement (a “Vesting Agreement”). The terms of any Vesting Agreement may be modified by the Compensation Committee from time to time in its sole discretion, subject to any restrictions on amendment imposed by the relevant Vesting Agreement or by the terms of any plan pursuant to which the LTIP Units are issued, if applicable. However, any such modification may not lengthen the term of vesting, or otherwise disadvantage the holder of such LTIP Units, unless the holder agrees to such modification. LTIP Units that have vested and are no longer subject to forfeiture under the terms of a Vesting Agreement are referred to as “Vested LTIP Units;” all other LTIP Units are referred to as “Unvested LTIP Units.

1.3 Forfeiture or Transfer of Unvested LTIP Units. Unless otherwise specified in the relevant Vesting Agreement, upon the occurrence of any event specified in a Vesting Agreement resulting in either the forfeiture of any LTIP Units or the repurchase thereof by the Company at a specified purchase price, then, upon the occurrence of the circumstances resulting in such forfeiture or repurchase by the Company, the relevant LTIP Units shall immediately, and without any further action, be treated as cancelled and no longer outstanding for any purpose or as transferred to the Company. Unless otherwise specified in the relevant Vesting Agreement, no consideration or other payment shall be due with respect to any LTIP Units that have been forfeited, other than any distributions declared with a record date prior to the effective date of the forfeiture.

1.4 Legend. Any certificate evidencing an LTIP Unit shall bear an appropriate legend indicating that additional terms, conditions and restrictions on transfer, including without limitation provisions set forth in the Vesting Agreement, apply to the LTIP Unit.

1.5 Adjustments. If an LTIP Unit Adjustment Event (as defined below) occurs, then the Manager shall make a corresponding adjustment to the LTIP Units to maintain the same correspondence between Common Units and LTIP Units as existed prior to such LTIP Unit Adjustment Event. The following shall be “LTIP Unit Adjustment Events” (A) the Company makes a distribution on all outstanding Common Units in Units, (B) the Company subdivides the outstanding Common Units into a greater number of Units or combines the outstanding Common Units into a smaller number of Units, or (C) the Company issues any Units in exchange for its outstanding Common Units by way of a reclassification or recapitalization. If more than one LTIP Unit Adjustment Event occurs, the adjustment to the LTIP Units need be made only once using a single formula that takes into account each and every LTIP Unit Adjustment Event as if all LTIP Unit Adjustment Events occurred simultaneously. If the Company takes an action affecting the Common Units other than actions specifically described above as LTIP Unit Adjustment Events


and in the opinion of the Manager such action would require an adjustment to the LTIP Units to maintain the correspondence between Common Units and LTIP Units as it existed prior to such action, the Manager shall make such adjustment to the LTIP Units, to the extent permitted by law and by the terms of any Vesting Agreement or plan pursuant to which the LTIP Units have been issued, in such manner and at such time as the Manager, in its sole discretion, may determine to be appropriate under the circumstances to maintain such correspondence. If an adjustment is made to the LTIP Units as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file in the books and records of the Company an officer’s certificate setting forth such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment absent manifest error. Promptly after filing such certificate, the Company shall mail a notice to each holder of LTIP Units setting forth the adjustment to his or her LTIP Units and the effective date of such adjustment.

1.6 Conversion of LTIP Units into Common Units. A holder’s Vested LTIP Units shall convert into Common Units (the “LTIP Unit Conversion Date” as follows:

 

  (1)

an AO LTIP Unit that that has become a Vested LTIP Unit shall be converted into a number (or fraction thereof) of fully paid and non-assessable Common Units, giving effect to all adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Section 1.7 equal to the AO LTIP Conversion Factor (as defined below); and

 

  (2)

a FV LTIP Unit that that has become a Vested LTIP Unit shall be converted into a number (or fraction thereof) of fully paid and non-assessable Common Units, giving effect to all adjustments (if any) made to the FV LTIP Conversion Factor (as defined below);

AO LTIP Conversion Factor” shall mean the quotient of (i) the excess of the Common Unit Economic Balance as of the date of conversion (assuming for this purpose the Gross Asset Values of the Company’s assets are adjusted pursuant to subsection (b) of the definition of Gross Asset Value as of the conversion date) over the AO LTIP Unit Participation Threshold (as defined below) for such Vested AO LTIP Unit, divided by (ii) the Common Unit Economic Balance as of the date of conversion (assuming for this purpose the Gross Asset Values of the Company’s assets are adjusted pursuant to subsection (b) of the definition of Gross Asset Value as of the conversion date).

AO LTIP Unit Participation Threshold” shall mean, for each AO LTIP Unit, the amount specified as such in the relevant Vesting Agreement or other documentation pursuant to which such AO LTIP Unit is granted. The AO LTIP Unit Participation Threshold of an AO LTIP Unit is intended to be the Common Unit Economic Balance as of the date of issuance of such AO LTIP Unit, assuming the Gross Asset Values of the Company’s assets are adjusted pursuant to subsection (b) of the definition of Gross Asset Value at such time. Holders of LTIP Units shall not have the right to have Unvested LTIP Units convert into Common Units until they become Vested LTIP Units.

 

2


FV LTIP Conversion Factor” shall mean the quotient of (i) the Economic Capital Account Balance attributable to the FV LTIP Unit being converted as of the date of conversion, divided by (ii) the Common Unit Economic Balance as of the date of conversion, provided that if the Economic Capital Account Balance attributable to an FV LTIP Unit has at any time reached an amount equal to the Common Unit Economic Balance determined as of such time, the FV LTIP Conversion Factor for such FV LTIP Unit shall never exceed one (1).

1.7 Conversion Procedures. Subject to any redemption of Common Units to be received upon the conversion of Vested LTIP Units pursuant to Section 1.11, a conversion of Vested LTIP Units occur automatically after the close of business on the applicable LTIP Unit Conversion Date without any action on the part of such holder of LTIP Units, as of which time such holder of LTIP Units shall be credited on the books and records of the Company with the issuance as of the opening of business on the next day of the number of Common Units issuable upon such conversion. After the conversion of LTIP Units as aforesaid, the Company shall deliver to such holder of LTIP Units, upon his or her written request, a certificate of the Manager certifying the number of Common Units and remaining LTIP Units, if any, held by such Person immediately after such conversion.

1.8 Treatment of Capital Account. For purposes of making future allocations under this Agreement, reference to a Member’s portion of its Economic Capital Account Balance attributable to his or her LTIP Units shall exclude, after the date of conversion of any of its LTIP Units, the portion of such Member’s Economic Capital Account Balance attributable to the converted LTIP Units.

1.9 Mandatory Conversion in Connection with a Capital Transaction.

 

  (a)

If the Company or the Manager shall be a party to any transaction (including without limitation a merger, consolidation, unit exchange, self tender offer for all or substantially all Common Units or other business combination or reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, but excluding any transaction which constitutes an LTIP Unit Adjustment Event) as a result of which Common Units shall be exchanged for or converted into the right, or the holders of Common Units shall otherwise be entitled, to receive cash, securities or other property or any combination thereof (any such transaction being referred to herein as a “Capital Transaction”), then the Manager shall, immediately prior to the Capital Transaction, insure the conversion of the maximum number of LTIP Units then eligible for conversion, taking into account any allocations that occur in connection with the Capital Transaction or that would occur in connection with the Capital Transaction if the assets of the Company were sold at the Capital Transaction price or, if applicable, at a value determined by the Manager in good faith using the value attributed to the Common Units in the context of the Capital Transaction (in which case the LTIP Unit Conversion Date shall be the effective date of the Capital Transaction and the conversion shall occur immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Capital Transaction).

 

3


  (b)

In anticipation of such Capital Transaction, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each holder of LTIP Units to be afforded the right to receive in connection with such Capital Transaction in consideration for the Common Units into which his or her LTIP Units will be converted the same kind and amount of cash, securities and other property (or any combination thereof) receivable upon the consummation of such Capital Transaction by a holder of the same number of Common Units, assuming such holder of Common Units is not a Person with which the Company consolidated or into which the Company merged or which merged into the Company or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be (a “Constituent Person”), or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person. In the event that holders of Common Units have the opportunity to elect the form or type of consideration to be received upon consummation of the Capital Transaction, prior to such Capital Transaction the Manager shall give prompt written notice to each holder of LTIP Units of such election, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to afford such holders the right to elect, by written notice to the Manager, the form or type of consideration to be received upon conversion of each LTIP Unit held by such holder into Common Units in connection with such Capital Transaction. If a holder of LTIP Units fails to make such an election, such holder (and any of its transferees) shall receive upon conversion of each LTIP Unit held by him or her (or by any of his or her transferees) the same kind and amount of consideration that a holder of a Common Unit would receive if such holder of Common Units failed to make such an election.

 

  (c)

Subject to the rights of the Company and the Manager under the relevant Vesting Agreement and the terms of any Stock Plan under which LTIP Units are issued, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause the terms of any Capital Transaction to be consistent with the provisions of this Section 1.10, and (ii) in the event LTIP Units are not converted into Common Units in connection with the Capital Transaction (including pursuant to Section 1.10(a) above), but subject to the rights of the Manager and the Company set forth in Section 1.13(b)(ii) below to the extent that they can act without the consent of holders of LTIP Units, enter into an agreement with the successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, for the benefit of those holders of LTIP Units whose LTIP Units will not be converted into Common Units in connection with the Capital Transaction that, to the extent compatible with the interests of the Common Unitholders, (A) contains reasonable provisions designed to allow such holders to subsequently convert their LTIP Units, if and when eligible for conversion, into securities as comparable as reasonably possible under the circumstances to the Common Units, and (B) preserves as far as reasonably possible under the circumstances the distribution, special allocation, conversion, and other rights of such holders.

 

4


1.10 Redemption Right of LTIP Unit Members.

 

  (a)

LTIP Units will not be redeemable at the option of the Company; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Company from repurchasing LTIP Units from the holder thereof if and to the extent that such holder agrees to sell such LTIP Units.

 

  (b)

Except as otherwise set forth in the relevant Vesting Agreement or other separate agreement entered into between the Company and a LTIP Unit Member, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein or in this Agreement, on or at any time after the applicable LTIP Unit Conversion Date each LTIP Unit Member will have the right (the “LTIP Unit Redemption Right”) to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the Common Units into which such LTIP Unit Member’s LTIP Units were converted (such Common Units being hereafter referred to as “Tendered Units”) in exchange for the Cash Amount (as defined below), unless the terms of this Agreement, the relevant Vesting Agreement or other separate agreement entered into between the Company and the LTIP Unit Member expressly provide that such Common Units are not entitled to the LTIP Unit Redemption Right. The term “Cash Amount” shall mean, with respect to Tendered Units, an amount of cash equal to the product of (i) the Current Per Share Market Price as of the date on which the Company receives the applicable LTIP Unit Redemption Notice (as defined below) multiplied by (ii) the number of Tendered Units. Any LTIP Unit Redemption Right shall be exercised pursuant to a LTIP Unit Redemption Notice (as defined below) delivered to the Manager by the LTIP Unit Member who is exercising the right (the “Tendering Member”). Any Common Units redeemed by the Company pursuant to this Section 1.11 shall be cancelled upon such redemption.

 

  (c)

In order to exercise his or her LTIP Unit Redemption Right, a Tendering Member shall deliver a notice (an “LTIP Unit Redemption Notice”) to the Company in the form specified by the Company. Redemption and payment of the Cash Amount will occur within 30 days after receipt by the Manager of a LTIP Unit Redemption Notice (the “Specified LTIP Unit Redemption Date”).

 

  (d)

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.11(c) above, if a holder of LTIP Units has delivered to the Manager a LTIP Unit Redemption Notice then PC Corp or Pubco may, in their sole and absolute    discretion, elect to assume and satisfy the Company’s redemption obligation and acquire some or all of the Tendered Units from the Tendering Member in exchange for the Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares Amount (as defined below) or the equivalent value of Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares, and, if Pubco or PC Corp so elects, the Tendering Member shall sell such number of Tendered Units to Pubco or Cresco U.S. Corp, as the case may be, in exchange for the such shares. In such event, the Tendering Member shall have no right to cause the Company to redeem such Tendered Units for the Cash Amount. The term “Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares Amount” shall mean, with respect to Tendered Units as of a particular date, a number of Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares equal to the number of Tendered Units. If Proportionate Voting Shares of

 

5


  Pubco are elected to be tendered, Proportionate Voting Shares of Pubco equal in value (solely based on the conversion rate of Proportionate Voting Shares into Subordinate Voting Shares) to the Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares Amount shall be tendered in redemption of Tendered Units. The Tendering Member shall submit (i) such information, certification or affidavit as Pubco or PC Corp may reasonably require in connection with the application of any applicable ownership limit with respect to Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares to any such acquisition and (ii) such written representations, investment letters, legal opinions or other instruments necessary, in Pubco’s or PC Corp’s view, to effect compliance    with the Securities Act. The Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares Amount, if applicable, shall be delivered as duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares, as the case may be, and free of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or restriction, other than those provided in the Charter, the Securities Act, relevant state securities or blue sky laws and any applicable agreements with respect to such shares entered into by the Tendering Member. Notwithstanding any delay in such delivery (but subject to Section 1.11(e)), the Tendering Member shall be deemed the owner of such Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares for all purposes, including without limitation, rights to vote or consent, and receive dividends, as of the Specified LTIP Unit Redemption Date. In addition, the Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares, as the case may be, for which the Tendered Units might be exchanged shall also bear all legends deemed necessary or appropriate by the Pubco. Neither any Tendering Member whose Tendered Units are acquired by Pubco or PC Corp pursuant to this Section 1.11(d), any Member, any assignee or permitted transferee nor any other interested Person shall have any right to require or cause Pubco to register, qualify or list any Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares, as the case may be, owned or held by such Person with the Commission, with any state securities commissioner, department or agency, under the Securities Act or with any stock exchange, unless subject to a separate written agreement pursuant to which Pubco has granted registration or similar rights to any such Person.

 

  (e)

Each Tendering Member covenants and agrees with the Manager that all Tendered Units shall be delivered to the Manager free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances whatsoever and should any such liens, claims and/or encumbrances exist or arise with respect to such Tendered Units, the Manager shall be under no obligation to acquire the same. Each Tendering Member further agrees that, in the event any state or local property transfer tax is payable as a result of the transfer of its Tendered Units to the Manager (or its designee), such Tendering Member shall assume and pay such transfer tax.

 

  (f)

Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to contrary or any other provision of this Exhibit A, a Member (i) shall not be entitled to effect the LTIP Unit Redemption Right for cash or in exchange for Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares, as the case may be, to the extent the ownership of or right to acquire Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares, as the case may be, pursuant to such exchange by such Member on

 

6


  the Specified Redemption Date could cause such Member or any other Person to violate any of the restrictions on ownership and transfer of Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares, as the case may be, set forth in the Charter and shall have no rights under this Agreement to acquire Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares which would otherwise be prohibited under the Charter. To the extent any attempted redemption or exchange for Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares, as the case may be, would be in violation of this Section 1.11(f), it shall be null and void ab initio and such Member shall not acquire any rights or economic interest in the cash otherwise payable upon such redemption or the Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares, as the case may be, otherwise issuable upon such exchange.

 

  (g)

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but subject to Section 1.11(f) hereof), with respect to any redemption or exchange for Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 1.11: (i) without the consent of the Manager otherwise, each Tendering Member may effect the Redemption Right only one time in each fiscal quarter; (ii) without the consent of the Manager otherwise, each Tendering Member may not effect the Redemption Right for fewer than 1,000 Common Units or, if the Tendering Member holds fewer than 1,000 Common Units, all of the Common Units held by such Tendering Member; (iii) without the consent of the Manager otherwise, each Member may not effect the Redemption Right during the period after the record date established in accordance with this Agreement for the distribution of cash to Common Unitholders with respect to a distribution and before the record date established by Pubco for a distribution to its common stockholders of some or all of its portion of such distribution; (iv) the consummation of any redemption or exchange for Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares, as the case may be, shall be subject to the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period, if any, under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended; and (v) each Tendering Member shall continue to own all Common Units subject to any redemption or exchange for Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares, as the case may be, and be treated as a Member with respect to such Common Units for all purposes of this Agreement, until such Common Units are either paid for by the Company pursuant to Section 1.13(b) or transferred to Pubco or PC Corp and paid for by the issuance of the Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 1.13(d) on the Specified Redemption Date. Until a Specified Redemption Date, the Tendering Member shall have no rights as a stockholder of Pubco with respect to such Tendering Member’s Common Units.

 

  (h)

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but subject to Section 1.8), a holder of LTIP Units may deliver a LTIP Unit Redemption Notice relating to Common Units that will be issued to such holder upon conversion of LTIP Units into Common Units pursuant to Section 1.6 in advance of the LTIP Unit Conversion Date; provided, however, that the redemption of such Common Units by the

 

7


  Company shall in no event take place until the LTIP Unit Conversion Date. For clarity, it is noted that the objective of this Section 1.11(h) is to put a holder of LTIP Units in a position where, if he or she so wishes, the Common Units into which his or her Vested LTIP Units will be converted can be redeemed by the Company simultaneously with such conversion, with the further consequence that, if Pubco or PC Corp elects to assume the Company’s redemption obligation with respect to such Common Units under Section 1.11(d) by delivering to such holder Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares, as the case may be, rather than cash, then such holder can have such Pubco Subordinate Voting Shares or Pubco Proportionate Voting Shares, as the case may be, issued to him or her simultaneously with the conversion of his or her Vested LTIP Units into Common Units. The Manager shall cooperate with a holder of LTIP Units to coordinate the timing of the different events described in the foregoing sentence.

1.11 Voting Rights. Except as provided in Section 1.13, holders of LTIP Units shall not have the right to vote on any matters submitted to a vote of the Members.

April 1, 2019 – CHICAGO, IL & OTTAWA, CANADA – Cresco Labs Inc. (“Cresco Labs” or the “Company” – CSE: CL, OTCQX: CRLBF) and CannaRoyalty Corp. d/b/a Origin House (“Origin House” – CSE: OH, OTCQX: ORHOF) are pleased to announce today that they have entered into a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which Cresco Labs will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Origin House (the “Origin House Shares”) (the “Transaction”). Under the terms of the Agreement, holders of common shares of Origin House will receive 0.8428 subordinate voting shares of Cresco Labs (the “Cresco Labs Shares”) for each Origin House Share (the “Exchange Ratio”).

The Transaction represents a total consideration of approximately C$1.1 billion on a fully-diluted basis, or C$12.68 per Origin House Share (based on the Exchange Ratio and the closing price of Cresco Labs Shares on March 29, 2019, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Transaction). The Transaction represents the largest public company acquisition in the history of the U.S. cannabis industry. The combined entity will be: one of the largest vertically-integrated multi-state cannabis operators in the United States; a leading North American cannabis company, by footprint; and one of the largest cannabis brand distributors.

Origin House has become a leading distributor and provider of brand support services in California, the world’s largest regulated cannabis market. Origin House’s proven strategy has been to build relationships with established dispensaries, build partnerships with established market-leading brands, develop promising cannabis product companies, and then leverage its full suite of support services to transform those products into strong California consumer brands. Origin House delivers over 50+ cannabis brands to more than 500 dispensaries in California, representing approximately 60% market penetration1.

Combination of Cresco Labs and Origin House will result in the premier distribution company serving California, the largest cannabis market in the world;

 

   

Accelerates Cresco Labs’ entrance into the California market with the addition of Origin House’s vast distribution platform;

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“The acquisition of Origin House is another example of our focused and disciplined approach to creating a meaningful presence in key cannabis markets through excellence in brand development and distribution,” said Cresco Labs CEO and Co-founder Charlie Bachtell. “It establishes Cresco Labs as the leading multi-state operator with one of the largest distribution platforms in California, which is projected to be a $7.7 billion cannabis market in 2022 by Arcview Market Research/BDS Analytics. Having a similar priority on consumers and consumer brands with the expertise of executives from the largest wine and liquor distribution company in the United States, the team at Origin House has established the premier cannabis distribution company in the largest cannabis market in the world. It’s an incredible platform for Cresco in California and the distribution infrastructure will provide a valuable framework to leverage as we scale our platforms in other states. Congratulations to Marc and the team at Origin House – through strategic M&A and purposeful investments, they’ve built something very special.”

Mr. Bachtell continued, “Following the closing of this acquisition, Cresco brands will be in over 725 dispensaries across the country, giving us the largest and most strategic distribution footprint of any cannabis company in the United States. This significantly accelerates our efforts to build the first national house of brands with broad and deep positions in the largest cannabis markets in the country. Cresco will have industry-leading brand development and distribution capabilities, which we believe will result in significant value creation for consumers and our shareholders alike as the market for medical-use and regulated adult-use cannabis continues to grow at a rapid pace.”

“We are excited to welcome the Origin House team to the Cresco family,” said Cresco Labs President and Co-founder Joe Caltabiano. “With the addition of Origin House and its vast distribution network in California, we will have access to incredibly valuable real-time market data and insight into consumer buying patterns that will inform our product development strategies and reinforce our brand strength. In addition to their brand building and distribution expertise, Origin House has a very experienced M&A, corporate development and capital markets team that will be extremely valuable as we continue to expand and add scale through additional transactions. With respect to the capital markets impact, with the equity issued through this transaction, we expect to have substantially more shares in our float, which we believe will provide ample liquidity for larger institutional investors looking to deploy capital into the cannabis space. We expect that our larger scale and improved liquidity following this acquisition will positively impact our ability to attract a larger universe of potential investors and reduce our cost of capital in the future.”

Marc Lustig, Chairman and CEO of Origin House commented, “From an Origin House perspective, this transaction is directly aligned with our strategy to build a leading portfolio of cannabis brands in California and to rapidly and accretively take those brands to the rest of the U.S. market, as well as the Canadian market. By partnering with one of the largest and most innovative U.S. multi-state operators in existence today, Origin House will supercharge its growth and be in a position to offer its brand partners access to 10 additional states, with licenses and supporting infrastructure already in place. Cresco shares Origin House’s resolute focus on the customer as the catalyst for all brand and business development efforts. This Transaction is not the first opportunity we have reviewed, but it has received the unanimous support of our board and large shareholders because we are confident that together we will be in a position to truly change the face of the global cannabis industry while continuing to create significant value for the shareholders of both companies.”

TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION

The Transaction will be effected by way of a plan of arrangement under the laws of the Province of Ontario. Under the terms of the Agreement, Cresco Labs will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Origin House Shares, with each holder of Origin House common shares receiving 0.8428 Cresco Labs Shares for each Origin House Share (and each holder of an Origin House proportionate voting share receiving 84.28 Cresco Labs Shares for each proportionate voting share held), which implies a price per Origin House Share of C$12.68 (on an as converted basis), representing a total consideration of approximately C$1.1 billion (on a fully-diluted). After giving effect to the Transaction, Origin House Shareholders will hold approximately 20% ownership in the pro forma entity (on a pro forma fully-diluted and as converted basis).

The Transaction has been unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of each of Cresco Labs and Origin House. Certain Origin House directors, officers and other significant shareholders have entered into irrevocable voting and support agreements to vote in favor of the Transaction, and have also agreed for their resulting Cresco Labs Shares to be deposited into escrow and released over a period of nine months following closing of the Transaction.

The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants for transactions of this type, including a termination fee in the amount of C$45 million payable by Origin House in the event that the Transaction is terminated in certain circumstances.

The Transaction is subject to, among other things, CSE, Ontario court and certain other regulatory approvals and requires the approval of two-thirds of the votes cast by shareholders of Origin House at a special meeting expected to be held in June 2019, as well as other customary closing conditions.

Cresco Labs Inc.

520 W Erie Street, Suite 220

Chicago, IL 60654

Attention: Charles Bachtell, Chief Executive Officer and Director

Dear Sir:

Canaccord Genuity Corp. (“Canaccord”), on its own behalf and on behalf of the Canaccord Genuity Group of companies, as lead underwriter, Beacon Securities Limited, Cormark Securities Inc., Eight Capital and GMP Securities L.P. (together with Canaccord, the “Underwriters” and, individually, an “Underwriter”) hereby severally, and not jointly and severally, offer and agree to purchase on an “underwritten” basis in the Qualifying Jurisdictions (as defined below) and the other jurisdictions contemplated herein, including the United States, from Cresco Labs Inc. (the “Company”), and the Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to the Underwriters, an aggregate of 7,350,000 units (each an “Initial Unit” and collectively, the “Initial Units”) of the Company, at the purchase price of $10.00 per Initial Unit (the “Issue Price”), for aggregate gross proceeds of $73,500,000, upon and subject to the terms and conditions contained herein (the “Offering”). Each Initial Unit shall consist of one subordinate voting share in the capital of the Company (each an “Initial Share” and collectively, the “Initial Shares”) and one-half of one subordinate voting share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole subordinate voting share purchase warrant being an “Initial Warrant” and collectively, the “Initial Warrants”). After a reasonable effort has been made to sell all of the Initial Units at the Issue Price, the Underwriters may subsequently reduce the selling price to investors from time to time, provided that any such reduction in the Issue Price shall not affect the aggregate gross proceeds less Underwriters Fees (as defined below) payable to the Company.

Upon and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth and in reliance upon the representations and warranties herein contained, the Company hereby grants to the Underwriters, in the respective percentages set out in Section 19 of this Agreement, an option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to purchase up to 1,102,500 additional units of the Company (each an “Additional Unit” and collectively, the “Additional Units”) at a price equal to the Issue Price, that is exercisable on or before 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the date that is 30 days after the Closing Date (as defined below). Each Additional Unit shall consist of one subordinate voting share in the capital of the Company (each an “Additional Share” and collectively the “Additional Shares”) and one-half of one subordinate voting share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole subordinate voting share purchase warrant being an “Additional Warrant” and collectively the “Additional Warrants”). The Over-Allotment Option may be exercised by the Underwriters in respect of: (i) Additional Units at the Issue Price; or (ii) Additional Shares at a price of $8.92 per Additional Share; or (iii) Additional Warrants at a price of $2.16 per Additional Warrant; or (iv) any combination of Additional Shares and/or Additional Warrants so long as the aggregate number of Additional Shares and Additional Warrants that may be issued under the Over-Allotment Option does not exceed 1,102,500 Additional Shares and 551,250 Additional

 


Warrants. The Over-Allotment Option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time and from time to time prior to its expiry in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Underwriters shall be under no obligation whatsoever to exercise the Over-Allotment Option in whole or in part.

Delivery of and payment for any Additional Units will be made at the time and on the date (each an “Option Closing Date”) as set out in a written notice of Canaccord, on behalf of the Underwriters, referred to below, which Option Closing Date may occur on the Closing Date but will in no event occur earlier than the Closing Date, nor earlier than two Business Days (as defined below) or later than seven Business Days after the date upon which the Company receives a written notice from Canaccord, on behalf of the Underwriters, setting out the number of Additional Units to be purchased by the Underwriters. Any such notice must be received by the Company not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the date that is 30 days after the Closing Date. Upon the furnishing of such a notice, the Underwriters will be committed to purchase, and the Company will be committed to sell and deliver to the Underwriters, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the number of Additional Units indicated in such notice.

Unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise specifically stated, all references in this Agreement to (i) the “Offering” shall be deemed to include the Over-Allotment Option, (ii) the “Offered Units” shall mean, collectively, the Initial Units and the Additional Units, (iii) the “Shares” shall mean, collectively, the Initial Shares and the Additional Shares, and (iv) the “Warrants” shall mean, collectively, the Initial Warrants and the Additional Warrants.

The Underwriters understand that the Company intends to allocate $8.92 of the Issue Price as consideration for the issue of each Share and $1.08 of the Issue Price as consideration for the issue of each one-half Warrant.    

The Warrants shall be created and issued pursuant to a warrant indenture (the “Warrant Indenture”) to be dated as of the Closing Date between the Company and Odyssey Trust Company, in its capacity as warrant agent thereunder. Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one subordinate voting share in the capital of the Company (each a “Warrant Share” and collectively the “Warrant Shares”) at a price of $12.50 per Warrant Share, for a period of 36 months from the Closing Date.

In consideration of the Underwriters’ services to be rendered in connection with the Offering, the Company agrees to pay to the Underwriters: (A) at or prior to the Closing Time (as defined below) on the Closing Date an aggregate cash fee equal to 5.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Initial Units, and (B) at or prior to the Closing Time on each Option Closing Date an aggregate cash fee equal to 5.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Additional Units at that time (the fees referred to in (A) and (B) are collectively the “Underwriters Fees”).

If any Claim contemplated by this Section 13 shall be asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties, or if any potential Claim contemplated by this Section 13 shall come to the knowledge of any of the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Party concerned shall promptly notify in writing the Company of the nature of such Claim (provided that any failure to so notify in respect of any Claim or potential Claim shall affect the liability of the Company under this Section 13 only if and to the extent that the Company is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure). The Company shall, subject as hereinafter provided, be entitled (but not required) to assume the defence on behalf of the Indemnified Party of any such Claim; provided that the defence shall be through legal counsel selected by the Company and acceptable to the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Claim and participate in the defence thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless:

 

  (i)

the Company fails to assume the defence of such Claim on behalf of the Indemnified Party within fourteen days of receiving notice of such suit;

 

  (ii)

the employment of such counsel has been authorized by the Company; or

 

  (iii)

the Indemnified Party shall have been advised in writing by counsel that representation of the Indemnified Party by counsel for the Company is inappropriate as a result of the potential or actual conflicting interests of those represented or that there may be legal defences available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties which are different from or in addition to those available to the Company or that the subject matter of the Claim may not fall within the foregoing indemnity or that there is a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnified Parties;

in which case, the Company shall not have the right to assume the defence of such Claim on behalf of the Indemnified Party and the Company shall be liable to pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnified Parties as well as the reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses of the Indemnified Party (including an amount to reimburse the Underwriter or Underwriters at their normal per diem rates for time spent by their respective directors, officers or employees ). Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, in no event shall the Company be liable for the fees or disbursements of more than one firm of legal counsel to an Indemnified Party in a particular jurisdiction in respect of any particular Claim or related set of Claims.

 

- 41 -


The Company will not, without each affected Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, admit any liability, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder unless in connection with any settlement, compromise or consent by the Company, such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any liabilities arising out of such action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim (if an Indemnified Party is a party to such action) and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party.

 

(3)

The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to Sections 13 and 14 hereof, the Underwriters are contracting on their own behalf and as agents for their affiliates, and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, advisors, agents (collectively, the “Beneficiaries”). In this regard, each of the Underwriters shall act as trustee for the Beneficiaries of the covenants of the Company under Sections 13 and 14 hereof with respect to the Beneficiaries and accepts these trusts and shall hold and enforce such covenants on behalf of the Beneficiaries.

 

(4)

The Company hereby waives any right it may have of first requiring an Indemnified Party to proceed against or enforce any other right, power, remedy or security or claim payment from any other person before claiming under this indemnity. The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company or any person asserting Claims on behalf of or in right of the Company for or in connection with the Offering except to the extent any Losses suffered by the Company are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become non-appealable to have resulting from the gross negligence, fraud, illegal act or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.

 

(5)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become non-appealable shall determine that such Losses to which the Indemnified Party may be subject were caused by the gross negligence, fraud, illegal act or wilful misconduct of the Indemnified Party. For greater certainty, the Company and the Underwriters agree that they do not intend that any failure by the Underwriters to conduct such reasonable investigation as necessary to provide the Underwriters with reasonable grounds for believing the Offering Documents contained no misrepresentation shall constitute “fraud” or “gross negligence” or “wilful misconduct” for purposes of this Section 13 or otherwise disentitle the Underwriters from indemnification hereunder.

 

(6)

The Company agrees that in case any legal proceeding shall be brought against the Company and/or the Underwriters by any governmental commission or regulatory authority or any stock exchange or other entity having regulatory authority, either domestic or foreign, or if any such commission or authority shall investigate the Company and/or the Indemnified Parties and any Indemnified Parties shall be required to testify in connection therewith or shall be required to respond to procedures designed to discover information regarding, in connection with, or by reason of the performance of

 

- 42 -


  professional services rendered to the Company by the Underwriters, the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to employ their own counsel in connection therewith, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel as well as the reasonable costs (including an amount to reimburse the Underwriters for time spent by the Indemnified Parties in connection therewith) and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Indemnified Parties in connection therewith shall be paid by the Company as they occur. The Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for the time spent by their personnel in connection with any Claim at their normal per diem rates.

 

(7)

The rights to indemnification provided in this Section 13 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any other rights which the Underwriters may have by statute or otherwise at law.

 

Section 14

Contribution

 

(1)

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity provided in Section 13 hereof would otherwise be available in accordance with its terms but is, for any reason held to be illegal, unavailable to or unenforceable by the Indemnified Parties or enforceable otherwise than in accordance with its terms, the Company and the Underwriters shall contribute to the aggregate of all Losses of the nature contemplated in Section 13 hereof and suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Parties (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other hand, from the distribution of the Offered Units, or (ii) if the allocation provided by (i) is not permitted by Applicable Law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in respect of such Losses; provided that the Company shall in any event contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Parties as a result of such Claim in excess of such amount over the amount actually received by the Underwriters or any other Indemnified Party under this Agreement and further provided that the Underwriters shall not in any event be liable to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of such total Underwriters Fees or any portion thereof actually received by the Underwriters. However, no party who has engaged in any fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or wilful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment shall be entitled to claim contribution from any person who has not engaged in such fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or wilful misconduct.

 

(2)

The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same ratio as the total proceeds from the Offering of the Offered Units (net of the Underwriters Fees payable to the Underwriters but before deducting expenses) received by the Company is to the Underwriters Fees actually received by the Underwriters. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the matters or things referred to in Section 13 which resulted in such Claims and/or Losses relate to information supplied by or steps or actions taken or done or not taken or not done by or on behalf of the Company or to information supplied by or

 

- 43 -


  steps or actions taken or done or not taken or not done by or on behalf of the Underwriters and the relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, omission or misrepresentation, or other matter or thing referred to in Section 13. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the Claims and/or Losses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claims and/or Losses, whether or not resulting in an action, suit, proceeding or claim. The parties to this Agreement agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 14 were determined by any method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 14.

 

(3)

If the Company may be held to be entitled to contribution from the Underwriters under the provisions of any statute or at law, the Company shall be limited to contribution in an aggregate amount not exceeding the lesser of:

 

  (a)

the portion of the full amount of the Losses giving rise to such contribution for which the Underwriters are responsible, as determined in Section 13(1); and

 

  (b)

the amount of the aggregate Underwriters Fees actually received by the Underwriters from the Company under this Agreement.

 

(4)

The rights to contribution provided in this Section 14 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any other right to contribution which the Indemnified Parties may have by statute or otherwise at law.

 

(5)

If an Indemnified Party has reason to believe that a claim for contribution may arise, the Indemnified Party shall give the Company notice thereof in writing, but failure to so notify shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to the Indemnified Party under this Section 14 provided that the Company is not materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure, and the right of the Company to assume the defence of such Indemnified Party shall apply as set out in Section 13 hereof, mutatis mutandis.

 

Section 15

Fees and Expenses

 

(1)

Whether or not the purchase and sale of the Offered Units shall be completed, all fees and expenses (including GST or HST, if applicable) of or incidental to the creation, issuance and delivery of the Offered Units and of or incidental to all matters in connection with the transactions herein set out shall be borne by the Company including, without limitation:

 

  (a)

all expenses of or incidental to the creation, issue, sale or distribution of the Offered Units and the filing of the Prospectus and any Supplementary Material;

 

  (b)

the fees and expenses of the auditors, counsel to the Company and all local counsel (including disbursements and non-creditable GST or HST, if and as applicable, on all of the foregoing);

 

- 44 -


  (c)

all costs incurred in connection with the preparation and printing of the Prospectus and any Supplementary Material contemplated hereunder and otherwise relating to the Offering; and

 

  (d)

the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and fees of the Underwriters, including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Underwriters’ Canadian and U.S. counsel (subject to a maximum of $125,000 plus disbursements and applicable taxes), with such expenses to be paid by the Company at the Closing Time or at any other time requested by the Underwriters, acting reasonably, provided that all fees and expenses incurred by the Underwriters, or on its behalf, pursuant to the Offering shall be payable by the Company promptly upon receiving an invoice therefor from the Underwriters.

 

Section 16

All Terms to be Conditions

The Company agrees that the conditions contained in Section 10 will be complied with insofar as the same relate to acts to be performed or caused to be performed by the Company and that it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such conditions to be complied with. Any breach or failure to comply with or satisfy any of the conditions set out in Section 10 shall entitle the Underwriters to terminate their obligation to purchase the Offered Units, by written notice to that effect given to the Company at or prior to the Closing Time. It is understood that the Underwriters may waive, in whole or in part, or extend the time for compliance with, any of such terms and conditions without prejudice to the rights of the Underwriters in respect of any such terms and conditions or any other or subsequent breach or non-compliance, provided that to be binding on the Underwriters any such waiver or extension must be in writing.

 

Section 17

Termination by Underwriters in Certain Events

 

(1)

Each Underwriter shall also be entitled to terminate its obligation to purchase the Offered Units by written notice to that effect given to the Company at or prior to the Closing Time if:

 

  (a)

there is a material change or a change in a material fact or new material fact shall arise, or there should be discovered any previously undisclosed material fact required to be disclosed in the Prospectus or any amendment thereto, in each case, that has or would be expected to have, in the opinion of the Underwriters (or any of them), acting reasonably, a significant adverse change or effect on the business or affairs of the Company and the Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) or on the market price or the value of the Offered Units or Subordinate Voting Shares;

 

  (b)

except in connection with U.S. Marijuana Laws, (i) any inquiry, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding (whether formal or informal) is commenced, announced or threatened or any order made by any federal, provincial, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality including, without limitation, the CSE or any securities regulatory authority (except for any inquiry, action, suit, proceeding, investigation or order based upon activities of the Underwriters and not upon activities of the

 

- 45 -


  Company) or any law or regulation is enacted or changed which in the opinion of the Underwriters (or any of them), acting reasonably, operates to prevent or materially restrict the trading of the Subordinate Voting Shares or any other securities of the Company or materially and adversely affects or might be expected to materially and adversely affect the market price or value of the Offered Units or Subordinate Voting Shares; or (ii) if there should develop, occur or come into effect or existence any event, action, state, condition (including without limitation, terrorism or accident) or major financial occurrence of national or international consequence or any new or change in any law or regulation which in the opinion of the Underwriters, acting reasonably, seriously adversely affects, or involves, or would reasonably be expected to seriously adversely affect, or involve, the financial markets in Canada and the United States or the business, operations or affairs of the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole or the market price or value of the securities of the Company;

 

  (c)

the Company is in breach of any material term, condition or covenant of this Agreement or any representation or warranty given by the Company in this Agreement is or becomes false in any material respect;

 

  (d)

any order to cease or suspend trading in any securities of the Company or prohibiting or restricting the distribution of any securities of the Company, including the Offered Units, Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares, is made, or proceedings are announced, commenced or threatened for the making of any such order, by any securities commission or similar regulatory authority, the CSE or any other competent authority, and has not been rescinded, revoked or withdrawn; or

 

  (e)

any Underwriter and the Company agree in writing to terminate this Agreement in relation to such Underwriter.

 

(2)

If this Agreement is terminated by any of the Underwriters pursuant to Section 17(1), there shall be no further liability on the part of such Underwriter, or on the part of the Company to such Underwriter except in respect of any liability which may have arisen or may thereafter arise under Sections 13, 14 and 15.

 

(3)

The right of the Underwriters or any of them to terminate their respective obligations under this Agreement is in addition to such other remedies as they may have in respect of any default, act or failure to act of the Company in respect of any of the matters contemplated by this Agreement. A notice of termination given by one Underwriter under this Section 17 shall not be binding upon the other Underwriters.

 

Section 18

Allocation of Canaccord

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Canaccord shall, in its sole discretion and without notice or consent of the Company, be entitled to allocate its underwriting commitment under this Agreement to any of its affiliates within the Canaccord Genuity Group of Companies.

 

- 46 -


Section 19

Obligations of the Underwriters

 

(1)

The obligations of the Underwriters under this Agreement shall be several in all respects and not joint or joint and several. For greater certainty, the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Offered Units shall be several and not joint or joint and several, and shall be limited to the percentages of the aggregate number of Offered Units to be purchased set out opposite the names of the Underwriters respectively below:

 

 

Canaccord Genuity Corp.

     -          60%   
 

Beacon Securities Limited

     -      10%

     -      10%   
 

Eight Capital

     -      10%   
 

GMP Securities L.P.

     -      10%   

 

(2)

If an Underwriter does not complete the purchase and sale of the Offered Units which that Underwriter has agreed to purchase under this Agreement (other than in accordance with Section 17 of this Agreement) (the “Defaulted Units”), Canaccord may delay the Closing Date for not more than five days without the prior written consent of the Company, and the remaining Underwriters (the “Continuing Underwriters”) will be entitled, at their option, to purchase all but not less than all of the Defaulted Units, provided, however, that in the event that the percentage of the total number of Defaulted Units which one or more of the Underwriters has failed or refused to purchase is not more than 10% of the total number of the Offered Units which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase, the Continuing Underwriters shall be obligated severally to purchase on a pro rata basis (or such other basis as such other Underwriters may agree) all, but not less than all, of the Offered Units which would otherwise have been purchased by the one or more Underwriters which failed or refused to purchase. If the Continuing Underwriters are not required to and do not elect to purchase the Defaulted Units:

 

  (a)

the Continuing Underwriters will not be obliged to purchase any of the Offered Units;

 

  (b)

the Company will not be obliged to sell less than all of the Offered Units; and

 

  (c)

the Company will be entitled to terminate its obligations under this Agreement, in which event there will be no further liability on the part of the Continuing Underwriters, or on the part of the Company except pursuant to the provisions of Sections 13, 14 and 15 of this Agreement.

 

Section 20

Over-Allotment

In connection with the distribution of the Offered Units, the Underwriters and members of their selling group (if any) may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Subordinate Voting Shares at levels above those which might otherwise

 

- 47 -


prevail in the open market, in compliance with Applicable Securities Laws (including, for greater certainty, Regulation M under the U.S. Exchange Act). Those stabilizing transactions, if any, may be discontinued at any time.

Section 22

Relationship between the Company and the Underwriters.

The Company hereby acknowledges that (i) the offer and sale of the Offered Units pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand; (ii) each Underwriter is acting as principal and not as an agent or fiduciary of the Company; and (iii) the Company’s engagement of the Underwriters in connection with the Offering and the process leading up to the Offering is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, the Company agrees that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the Offering (irrespective of whether any of the Underwriters has advised or is currently advising the Company on related or other matters). The Company agrees that it will not claim that any Underwriter has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Company in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

 

Section 23

Miscellaneous

 

(1)

Except with respect to Sections 13, 14, 17 and 18, all transactions and notices on behalf of the Underwriters hereunder or contemplated hereby may be carried out or given on behalf of the Underwriters by Canaccord and Canaccord shall in good faith discuss with the other Underwriter the nature of any such transactions and notices prior to giving effect thereto or the delivery thereof, as the case may be.

 

(2)

This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the Underwriters and the Company and their respective successors and legal representatives, provided that no party may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other party (provided that Canaccord shall represent the Underwriters in this regard).

 

(3)

This Agreement, including all schedules to this Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties relating to its subject matter and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the parties with respect to such subject matter. This Agreement may only be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified by written agreement signed by all of the parties.

 

(4)

Neither the Company nor any of the Underwriters shall make any public announcement in connection with the Offering, except if the other party (provided that Canaccord shall represent the Underwriters in this regard) has consented to such announcement or the announcement is required by Applicable Laws or stock exchange rules. In such event, the party proposing to make the announcement will provide the other party with a reasonable opportunity, in the circumstances, to review a draft of the proposed announcement and to provide comments thereon.

 

- 49 -


(5)

No waiver of any provision of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other provision (whether or not similar). No waiver will be binding unless executed in writing by the party to be bound by the waiver. A party’s failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that right. A single or partial exercise of any right will not preclude a party from any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right it may have.

 

(6)

If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal exists or is taken, that provision will be severed from this Agreement and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

 

(7)

This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein and the parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario.

 

(8)

Time shall be of the essence hereof and, following any waiver or indulgence by any party, time shall again be of the essence hereof.

 

(9)

(10)

All warranties, representations, covenants (including indemnification obligations) and agreements of the Company herein contained or contained in any Ancillary Document shall survive the purchase by the Underwriters of the Offered Units and shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the Underwriters regardless of the Closing of the sale of the Offered Units, any subsequent disposition of the Shares or Warrants comprising the Offered Units by the Underwriters or the termination of the Underwriters’ obligations under this Agreement and shall not be limited or prejudiced by any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters in accordance with the preparation of the Prospectus or any Supplementary Material or the distribution of the Offered Units or otherwise, and the Company agrees that the Underwriters shall not be presumed to know of the existence of a claim against the Company under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or in connection with the purchase and sale of the Offered Units as a result of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters in accordance with the preparation of the Prospectus or any Supplementary Material or the distribution of the Offered Units or otherwise.

 

(11)

Each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to rely on delivery of a facsimile or portable document format copy of this Agreement and acceptance by each such party of any such facsimile or portable document format copy shall be legally effective to create a valid and binding agreement between the parties hereto in accordance with the terms hereof.

Each Underwriter, on its own behalf and on behalf of its U.S. Affiliate, acknowledges that the Offered Units have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to or for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person, except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, each of the Underwriters, on its own behalf and on behalf of its U.S. Affiliate, represents, warrants, covenants and agrees to and with the Company that:

 

“A” - 2


1.

It has offered and sold, and will offer and sell, (a) the Offered Units forming part of its allotment only in Offshore Transactions in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S or (b) the Offered Units as provided in paragraphs 2 through 12 below. Accordingly, neither the Underwriter, its U.S. Affiliate nor any persons acting on its or their behalf, has made or will make (except as permitted in paragraphs 2 through 12 below): (i) any offer to sell or any solicitation of an offer to buy, any Offered Units to or for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person or any person in the United States; (ii) any sale of Offered Units to any purchaser unless, at the time the buy order was or will have been originated, the purchaser was outside the United States, or the Underwriter, its U.S. Affiliate or persons acting on its behalf reasonably believed that such purchaser was outside the United States; or (iii) any Directed Selling Efforts in the United States with respect to the Offered Units.

 

2.

It will not offer or sell the Offered Units in the United States, or to for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person, except that it may offer and re-sell the Initial Units and Additional Units to Qualified Institutional Buyers in compliance with Rule 144A with whom the Underwriters have a pre-existing relationship. It shall inform, or cause its U.S. Affiliate to inform, each Qualified Institutional Buyer that the Initial Units and Additional Units are being sold to it in reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and that they may not be transferred except in accordance with Regulation S.

 

3.

It has not entered and will not enter into any contractual arrangement with respect to the distribution of the Initial Units and Additional Units, except with its U.S. Affiliate, any Selling Firms or with the prior written consent of the Company. It shall require each Selling Firm and U.S. Affiliate to agree in writing, for the benefit of the Company to comply with, and shall use its best efforts to ensure that each Selling Firm complies with, the same provisions of this Schedule “A” as apply to such Underwriter as if such provisions applied to such Selling Firm and/or U.S. Affiliate.

 

4.

All offers and sales of Initial Units and Additional Units in the United States to Qualified Institutional Buyers have been and will be made by the Underwriter’s U.S. Affiliate and all sales of the Initial Units and Additional Units in the United States to Qualified Institutional Buyers have been and shall be made by the Underwriter’s U.S. Affiliate in compliance with Rule 144A and in transactions exempt from registration or qualification under any applicable state securities laws.

 

5.

It and its Affiliates have not, either directly or through a person acting on its or their behalf, solicited and will not solicit offers to buy, and have not offered to sell and will not offer to sell, Initial Units and Additional Units in the United States by any form of General Solicitation or General Advertising or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the U.S. Securities Act.

 

6.

It and its U.S. Affiliate are Qualified Institutional Buyers, and all offers and sales of Initial Units and Additional Units have been or will be made in the United States in accordance with any applicable U.S. federal or state laws or regulations governing the registration or conduct of securities brokers or dealers and applicable rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. Each U.S. Affiliate that makes offers and sales in the United

 

“A” - 3


  States is on the date hereof, and will be on the date of each offer and sale of Initial Units and Additional Units in the United States, duly registered as a broker-dealer pursuant to Section 15(b) of the U.S. Exchange Act and the securities laws of each state in which such offer or sale is made (unless exempted from the respective state’s broker-dealer registration requirements) and a member in good standing with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

 

7.

Immediately prior to making an offer of Initial Units and Additional Units in the United States, the Underwriter and its U.S. Affiliate had reasonable grounds to believe and did believe that each such offeree was a Qualified Institutional Buyer. At the time of each sale of Initial Units and Additional Units to a person in the United States or to or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person, the Underwriter, its U.S. Affiliate, and any person acting on its or their behalf will have reasonable grounds to believe and will believe, that each purchaser is a Qualified Institutional Buyer.

 

8.

Prior to any sale of Initial Units and Additional Units in the United States each Qualified Institutional Buyer will be provided with the U.S. Placement Memorandum and will be required to execute the Qualified Institutional Buyer Letter in the form attached as Exhibit I to the U.S. Placement Memorandum.

 

9.

Each offeree of Initial Units and Additional Units in the United States, or that is purchasing for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person, shall be provided with a copy of the U.S. Placement Memorandum. Each purchaser of Initial Units and Additional Units in the United States, or that is purchasing for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person, shall be provided, prior to time of purchase of any Initial Units and Additional Units, with a copy of the U.S. Placement Memorandum.

 

10.

At least one Business Day prior to the Closing Date, the Company and its transfer agent will be provided with a list of all purchasers of the Initial Units and Additional Units in the United States or that are purchasing for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person.

 

11.

At the Closing, and any closing in connection with the Over-Allotment Option, each Underwriter (together with its U.S. Affiliate) that participated in the offer of Initial Units and/or Additional Units, as applicable, in the United States or to or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person, will either: (i) provide a certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit A to this Schedule “A”, relating to the manner of the offer and sale of the Initial Units and/or Additional Units, as applicable, in the United States or to or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person, or (ii) be deemed to have represented and warranted that neither it, its Affiliates nor any one acting on its or their behalf, has offered or sold any Initial Units and/or Additional Units in the United States or to or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person.

 

12.

Neither the Underwriter, its U.S. Affiliate or any person acting on its behalf (other than the Company, its Affiliates and any person acting on their behalf, as to which no representation is made) has taken or will take, directly or indirectly, any action in violation of Regulation M under the U.S. Exchange Act in connection with the offer and sale of the Initial Units and Additional Units.

 

“A” - 4


Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company

The Company represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that:

 

1.

The Company is, and at the Closing will be, a Foreign Issuer and reasonably believes that there is no Substantial U.S. Market Interest in the Offered Units.

 

2.

The Company is not, and as a result of the sale of the Offered Units contemplated hereby and the application of the proceeds of the Offering as set forth under the caption “Use of Proceeds” in the Prospectus, will not be, an open-end investment company, a unit investment trust or a face- amount certificate company registered or required to be registered or a closed-end investment company required to be registered, but not registered, under the Investment Company Act.

 

3.

Assuming compliance of the Underwriters and their Affiliates of the provisions set forth in this Schedule A, the Initial Units and Additional Units are eligible for the initial resale to Qualified Institutional Buyers purchasing in the Offering pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(3)(i).

 

4.

  (a)

listed on a national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the U.S. Exchange Act;

 

  (b)

quoted in a “U.S. automated inter-dealer quotation system”, as such term is used in Rule 144A; or

 

  (c)

convertible or exchangeable at an effective conversion premium or exercise premium (calculated as specified in paragraph (a)(6) and (a)(7) of Rule 144A) of less than 10% for securities so listed or quoted.

 

5.

For so long as any Offered Units which have been sold in the United States in reliance upon Rule 144A are outstanding and are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act, and if the Company, as the case may be, is not subject to and in compliance with the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of, or exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) under, the U.S. Exchange Act, the Company will provide to any holder of the Offered Units in the United States and any prospective purchaser of the Offered Units designated by such holder in the United States, upon request of such holder or prospective purchaser at or prior to the time of resale, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the U.S. Securities Act (so long as such requirement is necessary in order to permit holders of the Offered Units to effect resales under Rule 144A).

 

6.

Except with respect to offers and sales in accordance with this Schedule “A” to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act, neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Underwriters, their respective U.S. Affiliates or any person

 

“A” - 5


  acting on their behalf, in respect of which no representation is made), has made or will make: (A) any offer to sell, or any solicitation of an offer to buy, any Offered Units to a person in the United States or purchasing for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person; or (B) any sale of Offered Units unless, at the time the buy order was or will have been originated, the purchaser is not a U.S. Person or purchasing for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person, and is (i) outside the United States or (ii) the Company, its Affiliates, and any person acting on their behalf reasonably believe that the purchaser is outside the United States.

 

7.

During the period in which the Offered Units are offered for sale, neither it nor any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Underwriters, their respective U.S. Affiliates or any person acting on their behalf, in respect of which no representation is made) has engaged in or will engage in any Directed Selling Efforts in the United States with respect to the Offered Units, or has taken or will take any action in violation of Regulation M under the U.S. Exchange Act or that would cause the exemption afforded by Rule 144A to be unavailable for offers and sales of Initial Units and Additional Units in the United States in accordance with this Schedule “A”, or the exclusion from registration afforded by Rule 903 of Regulation S to be unavailable for offers and sales of the Offered Units outside the United States in accordance with the Amended and Restated Underwriting Agreement.

 

8.

None of the Company, any of its Affiliates or any person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Underwriters, their respective U.S. Affiliates or any person acting on their behalf, in respect of which no representation is made) has offered or will offer to sell, or has solicited or will solicit offers to buy, the Initial Units and Additional Units in the United States by means of any form of General Solicitation or General Advertising or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the U.S. Securities Act.

The U.S. Placement Memorandum (and any other material or document prepared or distributed by or on behalf of the Company used in connection with offers and sales of the Offered Units) include, or will include, statements to the effect that the Initial Units and Additional Units have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States unless an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws is available. Such statements have appeared, or will appear, (i) on the cover page of the U.S. Placement Memorandum; (ii) in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus; and (iii) in any press release related to the Offering made or issued by the Company or anyone acting on the Company’s behalf.
