Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 1, 2024, urban-gro, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an asset based term Loan Agreement (the “Loan”) with Grow Hill, LLC, a Washington limited liability company (the “Lender”) pursuant to which the Lender extended to the Company a secured loan of $2,100,000, to be used to assist the Company with cash management, including to support the Company’s growth in the cannabis industry. The Loan is for a term of 24 months and has an origination fee of $100,000, which was added to the amount of the Loan. There is no penalty to prepayment, except the Lender will receive at least $150,000 in minimum interest if Company chooses to prepay the Loan. The Loan contains standard events of default and representations and warranties by the Company and the Lender.
The Loan is evidenced by a Secured Promissory Note issued by the Company to the Lender (the “Promissory Note”). The Lender received a security interest in certain of the Company’s assets pursuant to a security agreement between the Company and the Lender (the “Security Agreement”), which does not include any assets of the Company’s subsidiaries, including those securing the Company’s existing line of credit. The Promissory Note accrues simple interest at an annual rate of fifteen percent (15%).
In connection with entering in the Loan, the Company issued to Lender a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 160,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. The Warrant is exercisable immediately, will expire on the five (5) year anniversary of issuance, and is exercisable on a cashless basis at the election of the holder.
The foregoing descriptions of the Loan, the Promissory Note, the Security Agreement, and the Warrant do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan, the Promissory Note, the Security Agreement, and the Warrant, a copy of each of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 4.1, Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in such agreements were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 above regarding the Loan, the Promissory Note, the Security Agreement, and the Warrant is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the Loan, the Promissory Note, the Security Agreement, and the Warrant is incorporated herein by reference into this Item 3.02.
The Promissory Note, the Warrant and the shares of common stock underlying the Warrant (collectively, the “Securities”) were, and will be, offered and sold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D thereunder. The Lender is an “accredited investor,” as defined in Regulation D, and is acquiring the Securities for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. Accordingly, the Securities will not be registered under the Securities Act and the Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
Neither this Current Report on Form 8-K nor the exhibits attached hereto is an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy shares of common stock, notes, warrants, or any other securities of the Company.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On October 3, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the execution of new cannabis sector contracts in the third quarter of 2024. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, unless specifically identified as being incorporated therein by reference.
