13. Long-Term Debt During 2017 the Company signed a promissory note payable in the amount of $1,010,000. The note bears interest at a rate of 15% per annum with interest payments required on a monthly basis. In 2019, the Company’s promissory note payable in the amount of $1,010,000 was modified to increase the amount payable to $1,110,000. The Company repaid the note in full during the six months ended June 30, 2024. On November 19, 2021, the Company signed a promissory note payable in the amount of $2,000,000 in connection with the acquisition of Charm City Medicus, LLC. The note bears an interest rate of 8% per annum with interest payments due on the last day of each calendar quarter. On November 19, 2023, the Company and lender amended the note. Per the terms of the amendment, the interest rate was modified to 15%, and the Company paid off $1,000,000 of principal. The remaining principal balance of $1,000,000 is due on November 19, 2024, and the note is secured by 25% of the membership interests in Vireo Health of Charm City, LLC. On March 25, 2021, the Company entered into a credit agreement for a senior secured delayed draw term loan with an aggregate principal amount of up to $46,000,000 (the “Credit Facility”), and executed a draw of $26,000,000 in principal. The unpaid principal amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate of (a) the U.S. prime rate plus 10.375%, payable monthly in cash, and (b) 2.75% per annum paid in kind (“PIK”) interest payable monthly. In connection with the Credit Facility, the Company also pays a monthly credit monitoring fee in the amount of $130,400 which is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. On November 18, 2021, the Company and lenders amended the Credit Facility to provide for an additional loan of $4,200,000 with a cash interest rate of 15% per annum and PIK interest of 2% per annum and a maturity date of November 29, 2024. Obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company. On January 31, 2022, Vireo Growth and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers (collectively, “Borrowers”), entered into a Third Amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Third Amendment”) providing for additional delayed draw term loans of up to $55 million (the “Delayed Draw Loans”). The cash interest rate on the Delayed Draw Loans under the Third Amendment is equal to the U.S. prime rate plus 10.375%, with a minimum required rate of 13.375% per annum, in addition to PIK interest of 2.75% per annum. On March 31, 2023, the Company executed a fifth amendment to its Credit Facility with its senior secured lender, Chicago Atlantic Admin, LLC (the "Agent"), an affiliate of Green Ivy Capital, and a group of lenders. The amended credit facility extends the maturity date on its Delayed Draw Loans to April 30, 2024, through the issuance of 15,000,000 Subordinate Voting Shares in lieu of a cash extension fee. These 15,000,000 shares were valued at $1,407,903 using a fair value per share of $0.094 and considered a deferred financing cost. The fair value per share reflects a 22% discount to the market price at the time of issuance to account for the four-month trading lock-up imposed on the shares. The amendment also provides the Company with reduced cash outlays by eliminating required amortization of the loan, and requires the Company to divest certain assets to improve its liquidity position and financial performance. The Company has the potential to extend the maturity date on its Delayed Draw Loans up to January 31, 2026 with the satisfaction of certain financial performance-related conditions. On May 1, 2024, The Company executed a short-term extension of the maturity date on the Credit Facility with the Agent. The Credit Facility was extended until June 14, 2024, matching all other terms of the existing agreement. On June 14, 2024, another short-term extension was executed which extended the maturity date on the Credit Facility to July 31, 2024, matching all other terms of the existing agreement. On May 21, 2024 the Company executed a $1,200,000 term loan with the Agent to assist with the purchase of a site for a new dispensary location. The loan bears an interest rate of 12.0% and is due on May 28, 2027. Financing costs of $68,600 were incurred in connection with the closing of the loan. Unless otherwise specified, all deferred financing costs are treated as a contra-liability, to be netted against the outstanding loan balance and amortized over the remaining life of the loan. As of June 30, 2024, $66,694 (December 31, 2023 - $1,524,531) of deferred financing costs remain unamortized.
