MedMen Enterprises Inc. (“MedMen”)

On August 31, 2021, the Company issued 9,817,061 share to acquire 68% interest in Superhero Acquisition L.P. (“SH Acquisition”), which purchased senior secured convertible debentures together with certain associated warrants to acquire Class B subordinate voting shares of MedMen in the principal amount of $165,799. The convertible debentures bear interest at LIBOR plus 6%, with a LIBOR floor of 2.5% and, any accrued interest is added to the outstanding debenture amount, and is to be paid at maturity of the secured convertible debenture. SH Acquisition was also granted “top-up” rights enabling it (and its limited partners) to maintain its percentage ownership (on an “as-converted” basis) in the event that MedMen issues equity securities upon conversion of convertible securities that may be issued by MedMen.  The Company’s ability to convert the Notes and exercise the Warrants is dependent upon U.S. federal legalization of cannabis (a “Triggering Event”) or Tilray’s waiver of such requirement as well as any additional regulatory approvals. The debentures mature on August 17, 2028.
