On May 13, 2020, we received approval of the transaction and transfer of the Dalton Adventures, LLC (“Seller”) license from the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division. On May 25, 2020, we finalized the acquisition, pursuant to which we had acquired the assets of the Seller that constitute the business of SevenFive Farm, a cultivation facility in Boulder, Colorado, whereby we acquired fixed assets, inventory, a cultivation license and the tradename. The purchase price paid by us to the Seller was 8,859,117 shares of common stock. The shares issued have not been registered and are restricted shares under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and their resale may be made only pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or an available exemption from registration. Accordingly, a downward adjustment of 15% is applied to the fair value of consideration due to a lack of marketability. The closing price of General Cannabis’ common stock on May 13th, 2020, the date of license transfer, was $0.38 per share, as such, fair value of consideration is $2,861,495. Dalton Adventures, LLC may require us to repurchase in cash 25% of the shares issued to the owner of Dalton Adventures, LLC for a period up to one year or May 25, 2021, at a repurchase price equal to the same volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) used to determine the number of shares issued to the owner of Dalton Adventures, LLC at closing. In accordance with the agreement, we would be required to repurchase 2,214,779 shares at a price of $0.43 per share. The Company has recorded a stock put liability for the possibility of the buyback of these shares in the amount of $958,114.
On February 18, 2020, we entered into a promissory note exchange agreement with SBI pursuant to which the original SBI Note was exchanged for a new convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note has a principal amount of $934,000, an interest rate of 10% per annum and a maturity date of February 18, 2021. The Convertible Note may be converted at the option of SBI into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to 80% of the Market Price; provided that the conversion price shall in no event be less than $0.45 per share. If at any time, the borrower issues or sells any shares of common stock for a consideration per share less than the conversion price in effect on the date of such issuance, the holder shall have the right to utilize the price per share of the dilutive issuance as the conversion price for such conversion. On May 29, 2020, we issued shares at $0.40 per share, and as such, the conversion price was decreased to a floor of $0.40 per share. The exchange of the SBI Note for the Convertible Note is treated as a debt extinguishment. The additional $184,000 of principal was treated as a debt extinguishment and included in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. We determined that the Convertible Note should be accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 470-20 which addresses “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features”. The beneficial conversion feature is calculated at its intrinsic value (that is, the difference between the conversion price of $0.49 at the date of the note issuance and the fair value of the common stock into which the debt is convertible at the commitment date, per share being $0.61, multiplied by the number of shares into which the debt is convertible). The valuation of the beneficial conversion feature recorded cannot be greater than the face value of the note issued. We recorded $233,500 as additional paid in capital and as a debt extinguishment and included in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, SBI converted $934,000 aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Note and approximately $23,000 of accrued interest into 2,215,892 shares of our common stock.
In December 2019, we completed a private placement with certain accredited investors pursuant to an unsecured promissory note (the “15% Notes”) with an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. In February and March 2020, we completed private placements with certain accredited investors, including holders of $1,506,000 aggregate principal amount of our 2019 12% Notes (as defined below), of 15% Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $2,031,000 in exchange for $525,000 of new funding and the cancellation of $1,506,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2019 12% Notes. The 15% Notes have an annual interest rate of 15% and mature on January 31, 2021. The 15% Notes provide that they shall be repaid in full out of the proceeds of any new debt or equity capital raise with net proceeds of more than $5,000,000. In connection with the issuance of the 15% Notes, each holder of 15% Notes received three warrants (i.e., a 2020 A Warrant, a 2020 B Warrant and a 2020 C Warrant) to acquire shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to $0.45 per share, with the number of shares subject to each warrant equal to one share for each $1.00 of principal amount of 15% Notes issued to the noteholder. The 2020 A Warrants have an expiration date of December 31, 2020, the 2020 B Warrants have an expiration date of December 31, 2021, and the 2020 C Warrants have an expiration date of December 31, 2022 (collectively, the “15% Warrants”). By way of example, if an investor was issued a 15% Note with a principal amount of $250,000, such noteholder would receive a 2020 A Warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock, a 2020 B Warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock and a 2020 C Warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2020, the Company has issued 15% Warrants to purchase a total of 6,993,000 shares of common stock to the holders of 15% Notes. The exercise price of these warrants is subject to adjustment as a result of certain future equity issuances of securities by the Company at a price below the then-effective exercise price of the 15% Warrants. As a result of such subsequent issuances of securities by the Company during the second quarter of 2020, the exercise price of the 15% Warrants had decreased to $0.40 per share, resulting in a $98,000 deemed dividend as of June 30, 2020.
On May 29, 2020, we entered into a subscription agreement with Hershey Strategic Capital, LP and Shore Ventures III, LP (collectively, the “Investor”) with respect to the sale of shares of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock (collectively, the “securities”). The sales of the securities to the Investor consists of a minimum of $2,185,000 of securities and a maximum of $3,000,000 of securities, as described further below. The purchase price of the securities at each closing is as follows: (i) the purchase price of each share of common stock is $0.3983 per share, and (ii) for each one dollar invested by the Investor, the Investor receives a warrant to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to 75% of the number of shares of common stock purchased by the Investor at an exercise price per share equal to $0.5565. The warrants have a term of five years. The subscription agreement provides for the sale of securities in three closings. At the first closing, which occurred on May 29, 2020, we sold $800,000 of securities to the Investor, representing 2,008,536 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 1,506,402 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.56 per share. At the second closing, which occurred on June 3, 2020, we sold to the Investor $1,385,000, representing 3,447,278 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 2,607,958 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $0.56 per share. Subsequent to June 30, 2020, the third closing occurred, in which there was a sale of $815,000 of the securities. This represented 2,076,196 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 1,534,647 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $0.56 per share. The warrants were recorded as equity and equity issuance costs in the amount of $1,738,032. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the subscription agreement provides that the Investor’s investment shall not exceed 20% or more of the common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) or the voting power of the Company on a post-transaction basis.
On June 3, 2020, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Adam Hershey, a board member and investor, pursuant to which he would act as a strategic consultant for the Company, including providing assistance with the sourcing and evaluation of M&A deals, strategic capital and strategic partnerships or joint ventures. Mr. Hershey is paid an initial monthly rate of $8,333 for the services, subject to certain adjustments. We have spent $8,333 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. In addition, the subscription agreement between the Company and Hershey Strategic Capital, LP and Shore Ventures III, LP (the “Investor”) provides that the Company shall, during the 90-day period ending September 1, 2020 endeavor to cause the existing holders of the promissory notes of the Company having an outstanding balance in the amount of approximately $2,331,000 as of June 1, 2020 that are due on or about January 31, 2021, to extend the maturity date of such notes to a date that is not earlier than January 31, 2022. If, at the end of such 90-day period, all of the existing notes have not been amended to extend the maturity dates thereof, then, in the absence of a waiver from the Investor to the contrary, the Company shall issue to the Investor additional warrants to purchase shares of common stock. See Note 12, “2020 Capital Raise”.
