Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Note 21 — Commitments and Contingencies Leases The determination if any arrangement contained a lease at its inception was done based on whether or not the Company has the right to control the asset during the contract period. The lease term was determined assuming the exercise of options that were reasonably certain to occur. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception were not reflected in the Company’s balance sheet and those lease costs are expensed on a straight-line basis over the respective term. Leases with a term greater than 12 months were reflected as non-current right-of-use assets and current and non-current lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. As the implicit interest rate in its leases was generally not known, the Company’s used its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for purposes of determining the present value of its lease liabilities. At December 31, 2021, the Company’s weighted average discount rate utilized for its leases was 7.16%. When a contract contained lease and non-lease elements, both were accounted as a single lease component. The Company had several non-cancellable finance leases for machinery and equipment. The Company’s finance leases have remaining lease terms of one year to five years. The Company had several non-cancellable operating leases for corporate offices, warehouses, showrooms, research and development facilities and vehicles. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of one year to five years, some of which include options to extend. Some leases include payment for common area maintenance associated with the property. Additional information of the Company’s lease activity, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, is as follows:

Legal Proceedings On January 5, 2021, the Company received a demand letter from Nicholas Cooper and Richard Weinstein (two of the Company’s former employees) and one of Mr. Cooper’s affiliated entities, asserting that Messrs. Cooper and Weinstein were entitled to compensation arising out of their employment by the Company, and their partial ownership of TriGrow Systems, LLC. The demand letter asserts that the former employees are due certain sales commissions under their applicable bonus plan, equity earn-outs based on certain sales targets, and various equity purchases through the Company’s employee stock ownership plan. The demand letter also asserts various employment claims, including but not limited to, statutory wage withholding violations, wrongful termination, breach of contract, breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, fraud in the inducement, promissory estoppel, minority shareholder oppression, breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and violations of state and federal securities laws. On January 19, 2021, Messrs. Cooper and Weinstein filed a lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington, alleging the same claims made in their demand letter based on the facts disclosed above. The plaintiffs are seeking relief in the form of monetary damages in an amount to be determined. Messrs. Cooper and Weinstein are also seeking relief in the form of reinstatement and Mr. Weinstein is seeking rescission of his Release of Claims Agreement. On March 10, 2021, the Company moved to dismiss all Cooper and Weinstein’s claims, asserting that the claims failed to allege legal grounds for relief. On May 12, 2021, a Magistrate issued a preliminary Report and Recommendation, which recommended dismissal of certain of Cooper and Weinstein’s claims, and recommended others for additional factual discovery. On July 27, 2021, a District Judge entered an order partially adopting the Report and Recommendation, dismissing one claim with prejudice, dismissing a second claim with leave to amend, and permitting the remaining claims to proceed. Additionally, on July 29, 2021, the Company filed a separate arbitration in Boston, Massachusetts against Cooper and Weinstein, in which the Company alleges that Cooper and Weinstein were liable for certain conduct during the time they were TriGrow employees, including breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, usurpation of corporate opportunity, conversion, fraudulent concealment, and false representation. Also on July 29, 2021, the Company submitted a claim for indemnification to certain legacy TriGrow Systems, LLC. shareholders. The claim for indemnification relates to conduct by Cooper and Weinstein during the time they were TriGrow employees. The Company does not believe these claims have any merit and intend to vigorously defend against them. Supply Agreement with Mack Molding Co. In December 2020, the Company entered into a five-year supply agreement with Mack Molding Co. (“Mack”) pursuant to which Mack will become a key supplier of VFUs. In February 2021, the Company placed a purchase order with Mack amounting to approximately $5.2 million towards initial production of VFUs during 2021. In September 2021, the Company increased the purchase order with Mack to approximately $11.5 million towards production of VFUs during 2021 and 2022. The Company believes the supply agreement with Mack will provide the Company with increased scaling capabilities and the ability to more efficiently meet the potential future demand of its customers. The supply agreement contemplates that, following an introductory period, the Company will negotiate a minimum percentage of the VFU requirements that the Company will purchase from Mack each year based on the agreed upon pricing formula. The introductory period is not time-based but rather refers to the production of an initial number of units after which the parties have rights to adjust pricing and negotiate a certain minimum requirements percentage. The Company believes this approach will result in both parties making a more informed decision with respect to the pricing and other terms of the supply agreement with Mack. Distribution Agreements with Related Parties On September 7, 2019, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with Bluezone for distribution rights to the Bluezone products with certain exclusivity rights. The agreement requires minimum purchases amounting to $480 thousand and $600 thousand for the first and second contract anniversary years. The agreement auto renews for successive one-year periods unless earlier terminated. In March 2021, the Company notified Bluezone of non-renewal of the agreement which means it ended on May 31, 2021. The Company exceeded the minimum purchase amount for the first year and purchased approximately $309 thousand of the committed $660 thousand second year purchases through December 31, 2021. Bluezone is a related party to the Company. On March 9, 2020, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with Enozo Technologies Inc. (“Enozo”), for an initial term of five years with auto renewal for successive one-year periods unless earlier terminated. The agreement contains the following minimum purchases to retain exclusive distributor status for one of the Company’s products: for the period from the contract date until December 31, 2021 for $375 thousand, for the year ended December 31, 2022 for $750 thousand, and for the year ended December 31, 2023 for $1.1 million, which amount may increase by 3% for the later years. The Company had $40 thousand in purchases of Enozo product for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $38 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020. Enozo is a related party to the Company. Committed Purchase Agreement with Related Parties 4D Bios, Inc. On September 18, 2021, the Company entered into an amended purchase agreement with 4D Bios, Inc. (“4D”) to secure purchases of horticultural equipment. The original agreement required minimum purchases of between $577 dollars and $607 dollars per unit of 4D products until December 31, 2020. The amended agreement requires minimum purchases of $582 dollars per unit with a final payment of approximately $864 thousand paid to 4D. 4D is a related party to the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s purchase commitment totaled $1.9 million. The Company settled all outstanding commitments, leaving no open committed purchases as of December 31, 2021. Greenstone Holdings On December 29, 2021, Greenstone Holdings purchased 239 VFUs from the Company of which 60 VFUs were already in Greenstone Holdings possession under a lease agreement. Under the lease agreement, Greenstone Holdings owed Agrify a production service fee of $300 per pound of flower produced and contained an option to purchase the equipment within the lease agreement. The term of this agreement was for ten years but was terminated upon signing the purchase agreement for the 239 VFUs. The remaining 179 VFUs were shipped to Greenstone Holdings storage facility on December 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021.
