Salinas Diversified Ventures
On October 6, 2021, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Salinas Diversified Ventures, Inc., a California corporation, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, Management Services Agreement, Cooperation Agreement and Employment Agreement with VBF Brands, Inc., a California corporation (“VBF”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Sunset Island Group, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“SIGO”), and Ms. Lori Livacich, individually, and as an affiliate of both VBF and SIGO (“Livacich”). No material relationship exists between the parties, other than with respect to the material definitive agreements.
VBF and SIGO agreed to sell and transfer to the Company all of VBF’s outstanding stock, and, by virtue of the Management Services Agreement, appoint Mr. Jesus Quintero as President of VBF, vesting management and control of VBF’s licensed cannabis operations in the Company. Concurrently, VBF and Livacich entered into a Cooperation Agreement, whereby VBF and Livacich agreed to cooperate to facilitate the transfer of ownership of VBF, which includes licenses issued by the City of Salinas, County of Monterey, and the State of California, to operate a cannabis nursery, cultivation facility and manufacturing and distribution operations to the Company. The Company also agreed to retain Livacich as Chief Executive Officer for a term of two years and agreed to compensate her with a salary including a signing cash bonus of $250,000, and a $250,000 performance cash bonus payable after six months after the Effective Date. The bonus is conditioned upon Livacich meeting an agreed to “Net Revenue” target of $1,000,000 from VBF’s operations during the six month period after closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement, and her compliance with the terms and conditions of this Asset Purchase Agreement, the Management Services Agreement and the Cooperation Agreement.
As consideration for the transaction, the Company agreed to assume two secured convertible promissory notes issued by SIGO with St. George. The first note was issued December 8, 2017, in the original principal amount of $170,000 (“Note 1”); and the second note was issued February 13, 2018, in the original principal amount of $4,245,000 (“Note 2”). As part of Note 2, SIGO also issued warrants to St. George to purchase shares in SIGO, and 50 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in SIGO. St. George agreed to cancel the warrants and preferred shares upon the Company’s assumption of Notes 1 and 2 (collectively, the “SIGO Notes”). On October 6, 2021, the Company issued and sold a convertible promissory note to St. George in the principal amount of $3,455,178. As partial consideration for the purchase of the securities, St. George assigned and transferred to the Company, who agreed to receive and accept, the SIGO Notes, valued at $1,770,982. The Company agreed to pay an original issue discount of $574,196 and $10,000 in legal fees. St. George paid a cash purchase price of $1,100,000 to the Company.
