Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

Membership Interest Purchase Agreements

 

On January 29, 2025, Body and Mind, Inc.’s (“Company”) wholly owned subsidiary DEP Nevada, Inc. (“DEP”) entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement ( the “NMG 4 MIPA”) with Rubino Ventures IL, LLC (“Rubino”) and NMG IL 4, LLC (“NMG 4”), whereby DEP agreed to sell 100% of the membership interests of NMG 4 to Rubino in exchange for $1,666,667 (the “NMG 4 Purchase Price”), with $833,334 to be payable within 3 business days following the effective date of the NMG 4 MSA (as defined below), and the balance of the NMG 4 Purchase Price to be payable at the closing of the NMG 4 MIPA, less certain transaction expenses. As additional consideration, DEP shall be eligible to receive an Earnout Payment, to be determined as follows (unless defined herein, all definitions as set forth in the NMG 4 MIPA):

 

(A) Following the end of the Earnout Period Phase One, Rubino shall deliver to DEP an amount equal to (i) 3.2X the Phase One Earnout Period EBITDA, minus (ii) the NMG 4 Purchase Price (the “NMG 4 Phase One Earnout Payment”); and

 

(B) following the end of the Earnout Period Phase Two, Rubino shall deliver to DEP an amount equal to (i) 3.2X the Phase Two Earnout Period EBITDA plus 3.2X the Phase One Earnout Period EBITDA, minus (ii) the NMG 4 Purchase Price, minus (iii) the NMG 4 Phase One Earnout Payment (the “NMG 4 Phase Two Earnout Payment” together with the NMG 4 Phase One Earnout Payment being the “NMG 4 Earnout Payment”), all in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the NMG 4 MIPA. For the avoidance of doubt, if (1) the amount equal to 3.2X the Phase One Earnout Period EBITDA is less than the NMG 4 Purchase Price, no Phase One Earnout Payment shall be payable to DEP, or (2) the amount equal to 3.2X the Phase Two Earnout Period EBITDA plus 3.2X the Phase One Earnout Period EBITDA is less than the NMG 4 Purchase Price plus the NMG 4 Phase One Earnout Payment (if any), no NMG 4 Phase Two Earnout Payment shall be payable to DEP. The NMG 4 Phase One Earnout Payment is intended to be paid within 90 days of the conclusion of the Earnout Period Phase One, and if applicable, the NMG 4 Phase Two Earnout Payment is intended to be paid within 90 days of the conclusion of the Earnout Period Phase Two.

 

The closing deliverables of the NMG 4 MIPA include (i) an assignment of the membership interest, (ii) approval from the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, Division of Professional Regulation (“IDFPR”) approving the change in ownership of the license, (iii) proper resolutions, (iv) officer’s certificate (v) certificate of good standing, (vi) certain tax documents, (vii) and such other certificates or documents as may be reasonably requested by the Buyer. Following the closing of the NMG 4 MIPA, NMG 4 shall be solely owned by Rubino.

 

The Company is a signatory to the NMG 4 MIPA solely as a guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the NMG 4 MIPA) with respect to the performance of the DEP of any obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to the indemnification provisions in the NMG 4 MIPA.

 

On January 29, 2025, the Company and Big Stone Illinois, LLC (“Big Stone”) entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (“NMG 1 MIPA” and, together with the NMG 4 MIPA, the “MIPAs”) with Rubino and NMG IL 1, LLC (“NMG 1”) to sell 100% of the membership interests of NMG 1 to Rubino in exchange for $3,333,333 (the “NMG 1 Purchase Price”), with $1,666,666 to be payable within 3 business days following the effective date of the NMG 1 MSA (as defined herein), and the balance of the NMG 1 Purchase Price to be payable at the closing of the NMG 1 MIPA, less certain transaction expenses.

For the avoidance of doubt, if (1) the amount equal to 3.2X the Phase One Earnout Period EBITDA is less than the NMG 1 Purchase Price, no NMG 1 Phase One Earnout Payment shall be payable to Big Stone, or (2) the amount equal to 3.2X the Phase Two Earnout Period EBITDA plus 3.2X the Phase One Earnout Period EBITDA is less than the NMG 1 Purchase Price plus the NMG 1 Phase One Earnout Payment (if any), no NMG 1 Phase Two Earnout Payment shall be payable to Big Stone.
