Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

TWS Agreement

 

On August 12, 2021, Can B̅ Corp. (the “Company” or “CANB”) and CO Botanicals LLC, a Nevada limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of CANB (“COB”) entered into an Equipment Acquisition Agreement (the “TWS Agreement”) with TWS Pharma, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (“TWS Pharma”) and L7 TWS Pharma, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (“L7 TWS” and, collectively with TWS Pharma, “TWS”). Pursuant to the TWS Agreement, COB agreed to purchase certain equipment and inventory from TWS (the “TWS Assets”) for a total purchase price equal to $5,316,774, with $1,250,000 payable via a 12-month promissory note issued by CANB to TWS Pharma with 6% simple interest and monthly payments of $100,000 due per month (the “TWS Note”), and $4,066,774 payable in shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.62 per share (the “TWS Shares”); provided, however, that $1,750,000 of the TWS Shares will be withheld in escrow for a period of ninety (90) days from the closing date, which will be deducted from the purchase price should CANB discover any defects or misrepresentations. The first $500,000 of payments of the TWS Note will be secured by 1,000,000 shares of CANB’s common stock to be held in escrow.

 

It should be noted that $250,000 of the TWS Shares will be issued to third parties to pay the remaining purchase price owed by TWS for purchase of some of the TWS Assets and in settlement of any claims such third parties may have against TWS relating to the TWS Assets. It should also be noted that, due to a scrivener’s error, the TWS Agreement says that TWS is to receive a total of $3,800,000 in TWS Shares directly, but the correct number should be $3,816,774.

 

TWS agreed to indemnify and hold COB harmless from and against any damages relating to TWS’ breach of any representations or warranties contained in the TWS Agreement, any misrepresentation by TWS in the TWS Agreement, and any liabilities or third party claims relating to TWS or the TWS Assets prior to closing. COB also agreed to indemnify and hold TWS harmless from and against any damages relating to COB’s breach of any representations or warranties contained in the TWS Agreement, any misrepresentation by COB in the TWS Agreement, and any third party claims relating to COB’s ownership of the TWS Assets after closing. The transactions contemplated by the TWS Agreement closed on August 12, 2021.

 

MCB Agreement

 

On August 13, 2021 the Company and TN Botanicals LLC, a Nevada limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of CANB (“TNB”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “MCB Agreement”) with Music City Botanicals, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (“MCB”) pursuant to which TNB agreed to purchase certain equipment, inventory, and intellectual property from MCB (the “MCB Assets”) for a total purchase price equal to $1,394,324, with $498,259 payable in cash and $896,065 payable in shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.62 per share (the “MCB Shares”).

 

MCB agreed to indemnify and hold TNB harmless from and against any damages relating to MCB’s breach of any representations or warranties contained in the MCG Agreement, any misrepresentation by MCB in the MCB Agreement, and any liabilities or third party claims relating to MCB or the MCB Assets prior to closing. TNB also agreed to indemnify and hold MCB harmless from and against any damages relating to TNB’s breach of any representations or warranties contained in the MCG Agreement and any misrepresentation by TNB in the MCB Agreement. The transactions contemplated by the MCB Agreement closed on August 13, 2021.

This Equipment Acquisition Agreement (the “Agreement”) made as of the 12th day of August, 2021 by and between, Can B̅ Corp., a Florida corporation (“CANB”), CO Botanicals LLC, a Nevada limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of CANB (“Buyer”), and TWS Pharma, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company, and L7 TWS Pharma, LLC a Wisconsin limited liability company (each a “Seller” and collectively as, “Sellers”).

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, Sellers hold title to certain equipment that may be used in connection with the operation of a business primarily engaged in the cultivation of hemp and extraction of hemp derived cannabinoids; and

 

WHEREAS, Buyer desires to acquire certain equipment of Sellers.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Seller and Buyer (each, a “Party” and, collectively, the “Parties”) hereby agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

1. ACQUISITION OF THE ASSETS

 

1.01. PURCHASED ASSETS. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at Closing (as defined in this Agreement), Sellers shall sell, convey, transfer, assign, and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase from Sellers, free and clear of all claims, actions, suits, proceedings, debts, liens, encumbrances, security interests, demands, and liabilities of any kind (collectively, “Liens”), all of Sellers’ right, title, and interest in, to, and under all equipment set forth on Schedule 1.01 of this Agreement (the “Assets”). Schedule 1.01 will list each Asset and the Seller who owns such Asset as well as the allocation of the Purchase Price towards such Asset in accordance with Section 1.03. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers shall have ninety (90) days to provide good and marketable title to the 2018 Ford F-750 Truck (VIN 1FDWX7DCXJDF03284), 2018 Nissan Titan (VIN 1N6BA1F3XJN530989), and Polaris Sportsman (each a “Vehicle” and collectively, “Vehicles”). For the avoidance of doubt, no other assets of Sellers are included in the transaction contemplated hereby and, accordingly, the same are not to be transferred hereunder and the terms “Assets” shall be interpreted to reflect the same.

 

1 of 14
 

 

1.02. CONSIDERATION FOR THE ASSETS. In consideration for the sale and transfer of the Assets, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, CANB and Buyer shall pay Sellers $5,316,774 (the “Purchase Price”), payable as follows: (i) $1,250,000 payable in a 12-month promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.02(a), at 6% simple interest with monthly payments of $100,000 per month, with the first payment being due upon Closing and each payment being due on the same date each month thereafter. The first $500,000 of payments of the promissory note will be secured by 1,000,000 shares of CANB’s common stock pursuant to a stock power substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.02(b), to be held in escrow as agreed by CANB and Sellers pursuant to an escrow agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.02(c). Should Buyer or CANB default in payment of the first $500,000 of note which default remains uncured pursuant to the terms of the promissory note, the shares will be issued to Sellers and should Buyer and CANB make the first $500,000 in payments under the promissory note, the stock power will be released to CANB, (ii) $125,000 in the form of shares of common stock of CANB (with standard restrictive legend, the “Shares”) issued to Master Smith Enterprises, LLC in exchange for its release of any and all claims against Buyer, Sellers, and the Assets, (iii) $125,000 in the form of Shares issued to Smith Systems, LLC in exchange for its release of any and all claims against Buyer, Sellers, and the Assets, and (iv) $3,800,000 in the form of Shares. All Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be based upon a price of $0.62 per share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at Closing, CANB shall withhold $1,750,000 of the Shares for a period of ninety (90) days from the Closing Date pursuant to an escrow agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.02(d). Should Buyer or CANB discover during such period that the Assets are not in the same condition as they were when inspected by CANB in June 2021, any of the Assets are non-operational or materially defective, or Sellers’ representations in Section 2.03 of this Agreement are incorrect (“Defect”), and upon the expiration of thirty (30) days written notice with specificity of any Defect to Sellers, during which time Sellers shall have the right to inspect and repair the Defect, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the value allocated to said piece of equipment pursuant to Section 1.03, which reduction shall be taken from the Shares withheld by CANB. Further, if Buyer does not receive good and marketable titles to any Vehicle within said 90-day period, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the value of said Vehicle and it will not be included in the Assets being purchased by Buyer. Any amount remaining at the end of ninety (90) days and any applicable cure period will be delivered to Sellers. The Purchase Price will be allocated to Sellers in accordance with Schedule 1.02.

 

1.03. ALLOCATION. The Purchase Price will be allocated among the Assets as agreed by the parties in writing prior to Closing, and the parties will be bound by that allocation in reporting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to any governmental authority (including without limitation the Internal Revenue Service).

 

1.04. CLOSING. The Closing shall take place at the offices of CANB, within three (3) business days from the date all Closing conditions have been satisfied, or at such other place, time or date (including by the exchange of facsimile and/or PDF signatures) as may be mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parties (the “Closing Date”).

Whenever any claim shall arise for indemnification under this Section 7, the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”), shall promptly notify the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the claim and, when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim. In the event of any such claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or in connection with any claim or legal proceedings by a third party, the notice shall specify, if known, the amount or an estimate of the amount of the liability arising therefrom. The Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any claim by a third party for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that if a suit shall have been instituted against the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall not have taken control of such suit after notification thereof as provided in Section 7.03 of this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to settle or compromise such claim upon giving prior written notice to the Indemnifying Party as provided in Section 7.03.

 

7.03. DEFENSE BY THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY. In connection with any claim which may give rise to indemnity hereunder resulting from or arising out of any claim or legal proceeding by a person other than the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party, at its sole cost and expense, may, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, assume the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding if the Indemnifying Party acknowledges to the Indemnified Party in writing the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to all elements of such claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall select counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to conduct the defense of such claims or legal proceedings and at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party shall take all steps necessary in the defense or settlement thereof. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim or legal proceeding, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the settlement is only for cash and includes a full release of the Indemnifying Party. Without limitation, it shall not be deemed unreasonable to withhold consent to a settlement if equitable relief against the Indemnified Party is contemplated, awarded or stipulated, the Indemnified Party is required to make an admission of civil liability or to the commission of a crime, or money is required to be paid by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with its own counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claim or litigation resulting therefrom within 30 days after the date such claim is made: (a) the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim or litigation in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling such claim or litigation, after giving notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and (b) the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of such action, with its counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party thereafter seeks to question the manner in which the Indemnified Party defended such third-party claim or the amount or nature of any such settlement, the Indemnifying Party shall have the burden to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the Indemnified Party did not defend or settle such third party claim in a reasonably prudent manner.

Additionally, Payee may exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it under applicable law, including, without limitation, the right to accelerate and collect from Payor all indebtedness due under this Note.

6. Waiver. The rights and remedies of Payee under this Note shall be cumulative and not alternative. No waiver by Payee of any right or remedy under this Note shall be effective unless in a writing signed by Payee. Neither the failure nor any delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Note will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege by Payee will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

Payor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor and protest and all other notices required by law.

Can B Corp. Closes Acquisition of Assets from TWS Pharma in CO to Significantly Expand Capabilities in Converting Hemp Biomass to Isolate Used in our CBD and Isomer Product Lines

 

Adds $5 Million in Processing Assets

 

HICKSVILLE, NY (GlobeNewswire) – August 17, 2021 – Can B Corp. (OTCQB: CANB) (“Can B” or the “Company”), a diversified health and wellness company specializing in the development, production and sale of products containing hemp derived cannabinoids, is pleased to announce its acquisition of assets from TWS Pharma, based in Mead, Colorado.

 

The transaction is valued at over $5 million for hemp processing and extraction assets located in 3 buildings totaling 50,000 square feet in northeast CO.

 

Marco Alfonsi, Can B’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “This is a significant move for our Company that we strongly believe will add value for our shareholders. It enables us to process biomass into isolate which is the core ingredient for hemp isomers, such as CBN, CBG, Delta-8 and Delta-10. It is strategic to our existing Lacey, Washington facility and expected to add significantly to revenue from now through the end of 2021. By securing our own processing and extraction facilities we for the first time control our supply chain from biomass through end products for both retail and wholesale customers”.

 

The 15,000 square foot facility located in Mead, Colorado is a state-of-the-art extraction operation which converts hemp biomass and unwinterized crude to winterized crude and high-quality CBD crude oil. The 18,000 square foot operation in Fort Morgan, Colorado, a former Budweiser facility, will be used to convert winterized crude to CBD distillate. The ICS facility located in a 30,000 sq. ft. building also located in Fort Morgan CO and will be used to convert distillate to isolate. The Company has yet to execute the leases for these facilities but has negotiated and agreed on the terms with each landlord. This processing of hemp biomass to CBD consumer products gives us supply chain control and chain-of custody for purity, analysis, and certification of our products. The startup costs to have all the equipment fully functional and in full operation will require approximately $250,000 and 30 days.

 

All of these newly acquired assets will feed the Company’s Nutraceutical lab in Lacey, Washington facility and the two isomer (Delta-8- CBD- CBG) operations in Miami Florida and Mcminville Tennessee. No Delta-8 will be produced in CO where it is illegal to do so.

 

In regard to biomass, the Company is in final negotiations to acquire several million pounds of biomass that is already harvested, bagged and partially dried. Historically, a million pounds of biomass converts to approximately 16,000 kilos of isolate that when fully processed to an isomer, converts into approximately 15,000 liters of Delta-8 or other isomers. At today’s isomer market price this equates to a $10 million top line revenue per million pounds of biomass. At start-up production levels the existing CO operation is targeting an annual throughput of 1.5 million pounds of biomass processed.

 

Dave Stock, TWS Pharma majority owner, stated, “After weeks of detailed due diligence and planning, I believe Can B has a solid plan to utilize and monetize these assets. Coupled with their existing facility in Lacey, Washington gives them a feedstock to supplier to processor model that will allow them to compete at substantial volume of quality product at competitive pricing. Additionally, this transaction will award the local communities by welcoming back up to 30 returning local employees.”
