Minority Interest

In July 2020, the Company invested $226, for an approximate 16% minority interest ownership in DutchCanGrow Inc. (“DCG”), a Netherlands-based cannabis enterprise. The Company wrote off its investment in DCG in December 2021.

In August 2020, the Company invested $1,000 for a 6.6% minority interest ownership in Australia-based Altum International Pty Ltd (“Altum”), with an option to increase its ownership in Altum on similar terms. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company exercised its option and purchased additional shares in Australia-based Altum International Pty Ltd (“Altum”), bringing the Company’s total investment in Altum to 11.9%.

In September 2021, the Company entered into an option agreement whereby the Company received the irrevocable right to acquire an 80% ownership interest (the “Option Agreement”) in Netherlands-based Leli Holland B.V. (“Leli”) upon payment of EUR50,000 (the “Option”). The Option Agreement allows the Company to acquire 80% of Leli’s shares for EUR3,950,000, of which EUR950,000 is due and payable to Leli’s shareholders upon the exercise of the Option and the remainder due in three equal installments subject to the achievement of certain project development milestones. The option is exercisable at the sole discretion of the Company for a period of 5 years.

Leli is one of ten applicants selected to receive a license (subject to customary government approval) to legally cultivate and distribute cannabis to retailers when the Dutch government implements its Experiment to Investigate Closed Cannabis Supply Chains (“Dutch Supply Chain Experiment”).
