The Company does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements or risk factors to reflect future events or circumstances, unless required by law.

Overview

We are a multi-state cannabis operator in the United States, headquartered in Norwood, Massachusetts, dedicated to improving lives every day through our high-quality products, our actions, and our values. We develop, own, and manage seed to sale state-licensed, state-of-the-art, regulatory-compliant facilities for the cultivation, production, and dispensing of medicinal and adult-use cannabis. We have created and continue to develop our own brands of premium cannabis flower, concentrates, edibles, and other precision-dosed products utilizing our proprietary strains and formulations. We also license our proprietary brands, along with other top cannabis products, in domestic markets.

Our common stock trades on both the OCTQX and on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the ticker symbol MRMD.

We completed two acquisitions during 2024 that were accounted for as asset purchases. On April 9, 2024, we acquired 100% of the membership interests of Allgreens Dispensary, LLC ("Allgreens"), which held a conditional adult use cannabis dispensary license in Illinois (the "Allgreens Acquisition"). On April 5, 2024, we acquired 100% of the membership interests of Our Community Wellness & Compassionate Care Center, Inc. ("MedLeaf"), which held a retail dispensary license in Maryland (the "MedLeaf Acquisition"). The MedLeaf dispensary had ceased operations since July 1, 2023, but we reopened it on August 19, 2024, upon receiving regulatory approval to commence adult use retail sales.

On March 9, 2023 (the "Ermont Acquisition Date"), we acquired the operating assets of Ermont, Inc. ("Ermont"), a medical-licensed vertical cannabis operator located in Quincy, Massachusetts (the "Ermont Acquisition"). The financial results of Ermont are included in our consolidated financial statements since the Ermont Acquisition Date.

We continue to focus on executing our strategic growth plan, with priority on activities that include the following:

•Completing the acquisition and consolidation of our original advisory clients:

◦FSCC in Delaware is the last of these businesses. On February 28, 2025, we completed the acquisition of FSCC in accordance with the terms of the Omnibus Agreement.

•Increasing our product brand revenue by:

◦strengthening our cultivation and processing capabilities to ensure a reliable, high-quality supply of raw materials that will enhance product consistency, quality, and innovation;

◦developing and launching innovative new products that align with consumer preferences and demand;

◦offering new effects and formulations that differentiate our existing brands;

◦broadening our distribution network in existing markets to maximize our reach and brand visibility; and

◦expanding our distribution into new markets through new license applications, acquisitions of existing cannabis businesses, and/or identification of qualified licensing partners.

•Increasing retail store revenue by:

◦driving additional and higher average transactions in our existing stores through an outstanding customer experience that prioritizes our product selection and the ease of the shopping experience; and

◦expanding our dispensary footprint in current markets where regulations allow and into new markets through new license applications and/or acquisitions of existing cannabis businesses.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, knowledge of current conditions and beliefs of what could occur in the future given available information. If actual results differ significantly from management’s estimates and projections, there could be a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. We consider the following accounting policies to be both those most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and those that require the most subjective judgment: accounts receivable; valuation of inventory; estimated useful lives and depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and intangible assets; accounting for acquisitions and business combinations; loss contingencies and reserves; stock-based compensation; and accounting for income taxes.

Accounts Receivable

We provide credit to our clients in the form of payment terms. We limit our credit risk by performing credit evaluations of our clients and maintaining a reserve, as applicable, for potential credit losses. Such evaluations are judgmental in nature and include a review of each client’s outstanding balances with consideration toward such client’s historical collection experience, as well as prevailing economic and market conditions and other factors. Accordingly, the actual amounts collected could differ from expected amounts and require that we record additional reserves.

Inventory

Our inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market, including consideration of factors such as shrinkage, the aging of and future demand for inventory, expected future selling price, what we expect to realize by selling the inventory, and the contractual arrangements with customers. Reserves for excess and obsolete inventory are based upon quantities on hand, projected volumes from demand forecasts, and net realizable value. These estimates are judgmental in nature and are made at a point in time, using available information, expected business plans and expected market conditions. As a result, the actual amount received on sale could differ from the estimated value of inventory. Periodic reviews are performed on the inventory balance. The impact of any changes in inventory reserves is reflected in cost of goods sold.

Estimated Useful Lives and Depreciation and Amortization of Property, Equipment, and Intangible Assets

Depreciation and amortization of property, equipment, and intangible assets are dependent upon estimates of useful lives, which are determined through the exercise of judgment. The assessment of any impairment of these assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that take into account factors such as economic and market conditions and the useful lives of assets.

Business Combinations and Asset Purchases

Classification of an acquisition as a business combination or an asset acquisition depends on whether the assets acquired constitute a business, which can be a complex judgment. Whether an acquisition is classified as a business combination or asset acquisition can have a significant impact on how we record the transaction.

We allocate the purchase price of acquired assets and companies to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net amount of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and represents the expected future economic benefits from other assets acquired in the acquisition or business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Significant judgments and assumptions are required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, particularly acquired intangible assets, which are principally based upon estimates of the future performance and cash flows expected from the acquired asset or business and applied discount rates. While we use our best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, our estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. If different assumptions are used, it could materially impact the purchase price allocation and our financial position and results of operations. Any adjustments to assets acquired or liabilities assumed subsequent to the purchase price allocation period are included in operating results in the period in which the adjustments are determined.

Intangible assets typically are comprised of trademarks and trade names, licenses and customer relationships, and non-compete agreements.

Loss Contingencies and Reserves

We are subject to ongoing business risks arising in the ordinary course of business that affect the estimation process of the carrying value of assets, the recording liabilities, and the possibility of various loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when it is probable that a liability has been incurred or an asset has been impaired and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We regularly evaluate current information available to determine whether such amounts should be adjusted and record changes in estimates in the period they become known. We are subject to legal claims from time to time. We reserve for legal contingencies and legal fees when the amounts are probable and estimable.

Stock-Based Compensation

Our stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. We use the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of stock options as of the date of grant. Determining the fair value of stock option awards at the grant date requires judgment regarding certain valuation assumptions, including the volatility of our stock price, expected term of the stock option, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. Changes in such assumptions and estimates could result in different fair values and could therefore impact our earnings. Such changes, however, would not impact our cash flows.

Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the future tax consequences of differences between the tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities, measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent our management concludes that it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. To assess the recoverability of any tax assets recorded on the balance sheet, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including our past operating results, the existence of cumulative income in the most recent years, changes in the business in which we operate and our forecast of future taxable income. In determining future taxable income, we make assumptions, including the amount of state and federal pre-tax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage our businesses.

Results of Operations

Years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

Revenue

Our main sources of revenue are comprised of the following:

•Product sales (retail and wholesale) - direct sales of cannabis and cannabis-infused products primarily by our retail dispensaries and wholesale operations in multiple states. We recognize this revenue when products are delivered to unrelated parties or at our retail points-of-sale.

•Other revenue - comprised of real estate rentals to our cannabis-licensed client, supply procurement fees from facilitating purchases of resources, supplies and equipment for our cannabis-licensed client and third parties, management fees for providing our cannabis-licensed clients with comprehensive oversight of their operations, and licensing fees from the licensing of our branded products to wholesalers and regulated dispensaries.

Our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was comprised of the following (in thousands, except percentages):

Year ended December 31, Increase (decrease) from prior year

Our total revenue increased $9.4 million, or 6.3%, in the year ended December 31, 2024 ("2024") compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 ("2023"), the result of higher product revenue, partially offset by lower other revenue.

Our total product revenue in 2024 increased $10.1 million, or 7.0%, comprised of $14.1 million of higher wholesale revenue that was partially offset by $4.0 million of lower retail revenue. The increase in wholesale revenue was primarily attributable to revenue generated in Maryland and to the inclusion of wholesale revenue in Illinois in 2024. Although wholesale revenue increased in every state, Maryland and Illinois accounted for the majority of the increase. Our retail operations reported higher revenue in Massachusetts and Maryland; however, these increases were offset by lower retail sales in certain of our Illinois dispensaries.

The decrease in our other revenue was primarily attributable to rent, supply procurement and licensing fee reductions in connection with one of our cannabis-licensed clients, partially offset by higher management fees. The increase in management fees principally related to Allgreens prior to the Allgreens Acquisition.

Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Our cost of revenue represents the direct costs associated with the generation of our revenue, including licensing, packaging, supply procurement, manufacturing, supplies, depreciation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and other product-related costs.

Our cost of revenue, gross profit and gross margin for 2024 and 2023 were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

Year ended December 31, Increase (decrease) from prior year

Our cost of revenue increased in 2024 compared to 2023, primarily attributable to higher materials costs, including $3.7 million of expense related to our revaluation in 2024 of our inventory, coupled with higher employee- and facilities-related costs. The revaluation expense related to the redefinition of our standard cost assumptions to better align with our actual production and procurement trends. Our higher personnel costs were primarily due to our increased headcount in connection with our recent acquisitions and expanded footprint. The increase in wholesale revenue as a percentage of our total revenue was the primary contributor to the decrease in our gross margin in 2024 compared to 2023, as wholesale sales have a historically lower gross margin than retail sales.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses are comprised of personnel, marketing and promotion, general and administrative, acquisition-related and other, and bad debt expenses. Our operating expenses for 2024 and 2023 were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

Year ended December 31, Increase (decrease) from prior year

The increase in our personnel expenses in 2024 compared to 2023 was primarily due to the hiring of additional staff to support higher levels of projected revenue from existing and expanded operations, as well as increased headcount arising from our other recent acquisitions. Personnel costs increased to approximately 17% of revenue in 2024, compared to approximately 15% of revenue in 2023.

The increase in our marketing and promotion expenses in 2024 compared to 2023 was primarily attributable to our continued focus on upgrading our marketing initiatives in order to expand branding and distribution of our licensed products. Marketing and promotion costs were approximately 4% of revenue in both 2024 and 2023.

The increase in our general and administrative expenses in 2024 compared to 2023 was primarily attributable to increases in facility-related expenses, depreciation and amortization of fixed assets, and insurance and travel expenses. These increases principally relate to the addition of new facilities and related fixed assets.

Acquisition-related and other expenses include those expenses related to acquisitions and other significant transactions that we would otherwise not have incurred, and include professional and services fees, such as legal, audit, consulting, paying agent and other fees. We incurred $1.0 million of acquisition-related and other expense in 2024, primarily related to the acquisitions of MedLeaf and Allgreens, which were both consummated in April 2024, and non-cash expense for warrants to purchase our common stock issued to an entity in consideration for introductory and other services rendered in connection with certain acquisitive and financing activities. We incurred $0.7 million of acquisition-related and other expense in 2023, primarily related to our acquisitive activities.

Overall, the increase in our operating expenses in 2024 compared to 2023 was primarily attributable to our higher personnel, general and administrative, and marketing and promotion expenses, partially offset by reversal adjustments to bad debt expense.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense primarily relates to interest on mortgages and notes payable. Interest expense in 2024 includes interest on the CREM Loan (as described below) and in 2023, the CA Credit Agreement (as described below) and, to a lesser extent, the CREM Loan. Interest income primarily relates to our notes receivable.

Our net interest expense decreased by $2.2 million in 2024 compared to 2023. This decrease was primarily due to lower non-cash interest expense in 2024, coupled with lower interest rates on our CREM Loan compared to our previous financing facility.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

On November 16, 2023, we repaid and retired the term loan outstanding under the CA Credit Agreement (the "CA Term Loan Payoff") using proceeds from the CREM Loan entered into on the same date. The CA Term Loan Payoff amount totaled $32.7 million, comprised of $28.5 million for the outstanding principal, $3.7 million for the make-whole payment, $0.2 million for accrued unpaid interest and $0.3 million for transaction-related fees. We also repaid the mortgage with Bank of New England related to our Massachusetts facilities in New Bedford and Middleborough (the "BNE Payoff") and

concurrently, we refinanced these properties under the CREM Loan. In connection with these prepayments, we recognized losses aggregating $10.4 million, comprised of $10.2 million in connection with the CA Term Loan Payoff and $0.2 million in connection with the BNE Payoff. We did not recognize any such losses or gains in 2024.

Other Expense, Net

We reported net other expense of $0.1 million and $1.6 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively. The 2023 expense is primarily comprised of $0.9 million for the write-off of assets in the first quarter of 2023 in connection with our decision to cancel our plans to expand into Nevada and a $0.7 million term loan payment that we initiated in error to an account provided in a fraudulent email we received. We were initially advised by JPM Chase, the recipient's bank ("Chase") that we had identified the problem before the payment was delivered to the account identified by the email, and that the funds were being held by Chase pending its completion of an internal investigation. Chase subsequently advised us that the funds were delivered to the fraudulent recipient's account. We pursued all channels through our bank to recover these funds. In addition, we initiated a claim under our insurance coverage to recover this amount. However, to date, these efforts have been frustrated and it appears unlikely that we will successfully recover all or any portion of this amount. We reduced our cash balance and included this amount as a component of Other expense, net, in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023. If these funds, or any portion of these funds, are recovered, we will reverse the expense accordingly. We have implemented additional safeguards to protect ourselves from future fraudulent activity; please see Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors and Item 1C. Cybersecurity for further information

Income Tax Provision

We recorded income tax provisions of $8.2 million and $9.4 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively. The provision recorded for both 2024 and 2023 was due in part to the impact of Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code, which prohibits the deduction of certain ordinary business expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had cash and cash equivalents of $7.3 million and $14.6 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In addition to the discussions below of our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities, please also see our discussion of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA in the section “Non-GAAP Measurement” below, which discusses an additional financial measure not defined by GAAP, which our management also uses to measure our liquidity.

CA Credit Agreement

On January 24, 2023, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, by and among the Company, subsidiaries of the Company from time-to-time party thereto (collectively with the Company, the “CA Borrowers”), lenders from time-to-time party thereto (the “CA Lenders”), and Chicago Atlantic Admin, LLC (“Chicago Atlantic”), as administrative agent for the Lenders (the "CA Credit Agreement").

Proceeds from the CA Credit Agreement were designated to complete the build-out of a new cultivation and processing facility in Illinois, complete the build-out of a new processing kitchen in Missouri, expand existing cultivation and processing facilities in Massachusetts and Maryland, fund certain capital expenditures, and repay in full the Kind Therapeutics seller notes incurred in connection with the Kind Acquisition, which repayment occurred on January 24, 2023. The remaining balance, if any, was expected to be used to fund acquisitions.

The CA Credit Agreement provided for $35.0 million in the aggregate of principal borrowings at our option and further provided the CA Borrowers with the right, subject to customary conditions, to request an additional incremental term loan in the aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million; provided that the CA Lenders elect to fund such incremental term loan. $30.0 million of loan principal was funded at the initial closing (the "CA Term Loan") and we had the option, during the six-month period following the initial closing, to draw down an additional $5.0 million, which we did not elect to do. The loans required scheduled amortization payments of 1.0% of the principal amount outstanding under the CA Credit Agreement per month commencing in May 2023, and the remaining principal balance was due in full on January 24, 2026, subject to extension to January 24, 2028 under certain circumstances.

The CA Credit Agreement provided the CA Borrowers with the right, subject to specified limitations, to incur (a) seller provided debt in connection with future acquisitions, (b) additional mortgage financing from third-party lenders secured by

real estate currently owned and acquired after the closing date, and (c) additional debt in connection with equipment leasing transactions.

The obligations under the CA Credit Agreement were secured by substantially all of the assets of the CA Borrowers, excluding specified parcels of real estate and other customary exclusions.

At any time, we could voluntarily prepay amounts due under the facility in $5.0 million increments, subject to a three-percent prepayment premium and, during the first 20-months of the term, a “make-whole” payment.

The CA Credit Agreement also included customary negative covenants limiting our ability to incur additional indebtedness and grant liens that are otherwise not permitted, among others. Additionally, the CA Credit Agreement required us to meet certain financial tests. We were in compliance with the CA Credit Agreement covenants at all times while the CA Term Loan was outstanding.

On November 16, 2023 (the "Payoff Date"), we repaid and retired the CA Term Loan using proceeds from the CREM Loan (described below). The CA Term Loan Payoff amount totaled $32.7 million, comprised of $28.5 million for the outstanding principal, $3.7 million for the make-whole payment, $0.2 million for accrued unpaid interest and $0.3 million for transaction-related fees. We recognized a loss of $10.2 million in connection with the CA Term Loan Payoff.

CREM Loan

On November 16, 2023, Mari Holdings MD LLC, Hartwell Realty Holdings LLC, Kind Therapeutics USA, LLC, ARL Healthcare Inc., and MariMed Advisors, Inc., each a wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the "CREM Borrowers") entered into a Loan Agreement (the "CREM Loan Agreement"), by and among the CREM Borrowers, and Needham Bank, a Massachusetts co-operative bank (the "CREM Lender") pursuant to which the CREM Lender loaned to the CREM Borrowers an aggregate principal amount of $58.7 million (the "CREM Loan Transaction"). The Company has fully guaranteed the obligations of the CREM Borrowers under the CREM Loan Transaction and pledged to the CREM Lender its equity ownership in each CREM Borrower. The CREM Lender has a first priority security interest in all of the CREM Borrowers' operating assets in Maryland and Massachusetts and first priority mortgages on the CREM Borrowers' properties owned in Maryland and Massachusetts.

The CREM Loan Transaction matures in ten years and has an interest rate for the initial five years of 8.43% per annum. The interest rate will reset after five years to the FHLB Rate (the Classic Advance Rate for Fixed Rate advances for a period of five years for an amount greater than or equal to the loan amount, as such rate is defined and published by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston), plus 3.50%. As required, we made interest-only payments for the first twelve months of the term of the loan, with payments thereafter based upon a twenty-year amortization schedule.

The CREM Lender initially released $52.8 million to the CREM Borrowers (the "Initial CREM Distribution"). The remaining proceeds of $5.9 million would be held in escrow to complete the expansion of our Hagerstown, Maryland cultivation facility (the "Hagerstown Facility"). During the year ended December 31, 2024, $5.1 million of the escrowed portion of the loan proceeds was released to us. Any unused proceeds will be released to us after completion of the Hagerstown Facility expansion. We used $46.8 million of the Initial CREM Distribution to fully repay certain of our outstanding debt. These payments were comprised of $32.7 million to repay the CA Term Loan, $11.9 million to repay the mortgage with Bank of New England for our New Bedford and Middleborough, Massachusetts properties (the "BNE Mortgage"), and $2.2 million to reduce the outstanding balance of the note we issued in connection with the Ermont

Acquisition. Concurrent with the repayment of the BNE Mortgage, we refinanced these properties through the CREM Loan and accordingly, effective November 16, 2023, the mortgage on these properties is held by Needham Bank, which mortgage matures in 2033 and which outstanding amount is included as a component of the CREM Loan amount in our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023.

The CREM Loan Agreement includes customary representations and warranties and customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to material indebtedness, and events of bankruptcy and insolvency. The CREM Loan Agreement also includes customary negative covenants limiting the CREM Borrowers' (but not the Company's) ability to incur additional indebtedness and grant liens that are otherwise not permitted, among others. The CREM Loan Agreement also requires the CREM Borrowers to meet certain periodic financial tests. The Company was in compliance with such periodic financial tests at December 31, 2024.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our primary sources of cash from operating activities are from sales to customers in our dispensaries and to our wholesale customers. We expect cash flows from operating activities to be affected by increases and decreases in sales volumes and timing of collections, and by purchases of inventory and shipment of our products. Our primary uses of cash for operating activities are for personnel costs, purchases of packaging and other materials required for the production and sale of our products, and income taxes.

Our operating activities provided $6.8 million and $7.9 million of cash in 2024 and 2023, respectively. The change in cash from operating activities in 2024 compared to 2023 was primarily attributable to higher costs and operating expenses arising from expanding our sales activities, facilities and geographic footprint.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Our investing activities used $17.1 million and $26.0 million of cash in 2024 and 2023, respectively. During 2024 and 2023, we used $12.0 million and $20.1 million, respectively, for capital expenditures, primarily related to the build-out of certain facilities to add cultivation, processing and sales capacity. We used $4.3 million and $3.0 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively, for purchase consideration. The 2024 amount was comprised of $2.3 million for the Allgreens Acquisition and $2.0 million for the MedLeaf Acquisition, and the 2023 amount related to the Ermont Acquisition. We made advances toward future business acquisitions of $0.1 million and $1.1 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively, and spent $0.7 million and $0.6 million to purchase or renew state cannabis licenses.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Our financing activities provided $3.0 million of cash in 2024 and used $23.0 million of cash in 2023.

In 2024, we received $5.1 million of additional proceeds from the CREM Loan and $1.2 million of proceeds from the refinancing of our retail facility in Mt. Vernon, Illinois. We made $3.1 million of aggregate principal payments on our outstanding mortgages, promissory notes and finance leases, and approximately $139,000 of distribution payments.

In 2023, we received proceeds of $29.1 million from the CA Term Loan, of which we used $5.5 million to repay in full the notes previously issued to the sellers of Kind as part of the purchase consideration for the Kind Acquisition. We received $53.6 million from the CREM Loan, of which we used $46.8 million in the aggregate to repay and retire the CA Term Loan and our mortgage with Bank of New England for our Massachusetts facilities in New Bedford and Middleborough, including prepayment penalties, and reduce the balance on our notes payable in connection with the Ermont Acquisition. Concurrent with the repayment to Bank of New England, we refinanced these properties through the CREM Loan.

Based on our current expectations, we believe our current cash and future funding opportunities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. The rate at which we consume cash is dependent on the cash needs of our future operations, including our contractual obligations at December 31, 2024, and our ability to raise additional cash through financing activities. Our contractual obligations at December 31, 2024 were primarily comprised of our outstanding CREM Loan, mortgages and promissory notes, as well as our operating leases. Our CREM Loan, mortgage and promissory note obligations totaled approximately $75 million at December 31, 2024.

Non-GAAP Measurement

In addition to the financial information reflected in this report, which is prepared in accordance with GAAP, we are providing a non-GAAP financial measurement of profitability – Adjusted EBITDA – as a supplement to the preceding discussion of our financial results.

Our management defines Adjusted EBITDA as income from operations, determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding the following:

•depreciation and amortization of property and equipment;

•amortization of acquired intangible assets;

•impairments or write-downs of acquired intangible assets;

•inventory revaluation;

•stock-based compensation;

•severance;

•legal settlements; and

•acquisition-related and other.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure to assess our performance and liquidity, as it provides meaningful operating results by excluding the effects of expenses that are not reflective of our operating business performance. In addition, our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, and for financial and operational decision-making. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes that investors and analysts benefit from considering Adjusted EBITDA in assessing our financial results and our ongoing business, as it allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business. Adjusted EBITDA is used by many investors and analysts themselves, along with other metrics, to compare financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies.

As there are no standardized methods of calculating non-GAAP measurements, our calculations may differ from those used by analysts, investors, and other companies, even those within the cannabis industry, and therefore may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures used by others.

Reconciliation of Income from Operations to Adjusted EBITDA (a Non-GAAP Measurement)

The table below reconciles Income from operations to Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

Year ended December 31,

Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment 7,910 5,549

Amortization of acquired intangible assets 2,948 3,025

Inventory revaluation 3,667 —

Acquisition-related and other 951 695

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue, or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Inflation

In the opinion of management, inflation has impacted the Company through increased costs of ingredients, nutrients and packaging. The Company recently negotiated with certain of our suppliers to reduce our costs for future purchases of ingredients, nutrients and packaging, all of which have increased significantly as a result of current economic conditions.

Seasonality

In the opinion of management, the Company’s financial condition and results of its operations are not materially impacted by seasonal sales.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

(the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Revenue

As discussed in the Notes to the financial statements, the Company recognizes revenue upon the transfer of control of promised goods to the customer upon delivery in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the products.

Auditing the recognition of revenue involves significant challenge due to the inherent risk of revenue recognition. Related to retail operations, M&K tested a sample of point-of-sale transactions as well as physical cash flows from the retail operations. Related to wholesale operations, M&K tested a sample of METRC reports and tested delivery of products to customers.

To evaluate the appropriateness and accuracy of the assessment by management, we evaluated management’s assessment relationship to the relevant agreements and management’s disclosure in the financial statements.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests represent third-party minority ownership of the Company’s majority-owned consolidated subsidiaries. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is reported in the consolidated statements of operations, and the value of minority-owned interests is presented as a component of equity within the consolidated balance sheets.

Use of Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reporting amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and judgments relied upon in preparing these consolidated financial statements include accounting for business combinations and asset purchases, inventory valuations, assumptions used to determine the fair value of stock-based compensation, and intangible assets and goodwill. The Company regularly assesses these estimates and records changes in estimates in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates or assumptions.

Business Acquisitions

Business Combinations

The Company recognizes identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value on the date of acquisition. Goodwill is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and represents the expected future economic benefits arising from other assets acquire in the business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, its estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with a corresponding offset to goodwill to the extent that it identifies adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statements of operations.

Asset Purchases

The Company accounts for an acquisitive transaction determined to be an asset purchase based on the cost accumulation and allocation method, under which the costs to purchase the asset or set of assets are allocated to the assets acquired. No goodwill is recorded in connection with an asset purchase.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The fair values of these investments approximate their carrying values.

The Company had $0.3 million and $0.1 million of cash held in escrow at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained with recognized financial institutions located in the United States. In the normal course of business, the Company may carry balances with certain financial institutions that exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced losses on balances in excess of such limits and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks in that regard.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments approximate their fair values and include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deferred rents receivable, notes receivable, investments, term loans, mortgages and notes payable, and accounts payable.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The three-tier fair value hierarchy is based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

•Level 1. Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2. Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace, such as quoted price for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted price for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets).

•Level 3. Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables and are carried at their estimated collectible amounts.

The Company provides credit to its clients in the form of payment terms. The Company limits its credit risk by performing credit evaluations of its clients and maintaining a reserve, if deemed necessary, for potential credit losses. Such evaluations include the review of a client’s outstanding balances with consideration towards such client’s historical collection experience, as well as prevailing economic and market conditions and other factors. Based on such evaluations, the Company maintained reserves of $0.3 million and $0.8 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with the cost being determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company allocates a certain percentage of overhead cost to its manufactured inventory; such allocation is based on square footage and other industry-standard criteria. The Company reviews physical inventory for obsolescence and/or excess and will record a reserve if necessary. As of the date of this report, no reserve was deemed necessary.

Investments

Investments are comprised of equity holdings of public companies. These investments are recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, with changes to fair value included in income. Investments are evaluated for permanent impairment and are written down if such impairments are deemed to have occurred.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s main sources of revenue are comprised of the following:

•Product sales (retail and wholesale). The Company's product sales are derived from direct sales of cannabis and cannabis-infused products primarily by its retail dispensaries and wholesale operations in multiple states. The Company recognize this revenue when products are delivered to third parties or at the Company's retail points-of-sale.

•Other revenue. The Company's other revenue is comprised of real estate rentals to cannabis-licensed clients; supply procurement fees from facilitating purchases of resources, supplies and equipment for cannabis-licensed clients and third parties; management fees for providing cannabis-licensed clients with comprehensive oversight of their operations; and licensing fees from the licensing of its branded products to wholesalers and regulated dispensaries.

The Company recognizes revenue in amounts that represent the consideration that it expects to receive in exchange for goods or services provided to customers performing the following steps:

•identify the contract(s) with a customer;

•identify the performance obligations in the contract(s);

•determine the transaction price;

•allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and

•recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

Additionally, when another party is involved in providing goods or services to the Company’s clients, a determination is made as to who—the Company or the other party—is acting in the capacity as the principal in the sale transaction, and who is merely the agent arranging for goods or services to be provided by the other party.

The Company is typically considered the principal if it controls the specified goods or services before such goods or services are transferred to its client, and typically considered the agent if it does not exert such control. The Company may also be deemed to be the principal even if it engages another party (an agent) to satisfy some of the performance obligations on its behalf, provided the Company (i) takes on certain responsibilities, obligations and risks, (ii) possesses certain abilities and discretion, or (iii) other relevant indicators of the sale are present. If deemed an agent, the Company does not recognize revenue for the performance obligations it does not satisfy.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, with depreciation recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term, if applicable. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense in the period incurred. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are generally as follows: buildings and building improvements, thirty-nine to forty years; tenant improvements, the lesser of the remaining duration of the related lease or the asset useful life; furniture and fixtures, seven to ten years; machinery and equipment, seven to ten years. Land is not depreciated.

Software development costs associated with internal use software are incurred in three stages of development: the preliminary project stage, the application development stage and the post-implementation stage. Costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are expensed as incurred. Certain qualifying costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized as property and equipment. Internal use software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of five to seven years, beginning when the software is ready for its intended use.

The Company’s property and equipment are individually reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable from the undiscounted future cash flows of such asset over the anticipated holding period. An impairment loss is measured by the excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Impairment analysis is based on management’s current plans, asset holding periods, and currently available market information. If these criteria change, the Company’s evaluation of impairment losses may be different and could have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, based on the results of management’s impairment analysis, there were no impairment losses.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

The Company's intangible assets are comprised of trade names and trademarks, licenses and customer and non-compete agreements. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable based upon the estimated undiscounted cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets with estimated lives and other long-lived assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or

asset group to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If these comparisons indicate that an asset is not recoverable, the Company will recognize an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset or asset group exceeds the related estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is based on either discounted future operating cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the asset. The Company amortizes its intangible assets over their respective useful lives. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was no impairment of goodwill.

Leases

Arrangements that are determined to be leases with a term greater than one year are accounted for by the recognition of right-of-use assets that represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities that represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Non-lease components within lease agreements are accounted for separately.

Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, utilizing the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews the carrying amounts of its long-lived assets whenever certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment of long-lived assets is recognized when the net book value of such assets exceeds their expected cash flows, in which case the assets are written down to fair value, which is determined based on discounted future cash flows or appraised values.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company's stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, which generally corresponds with the vesting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of stock options and warrants on the date of grant. The fair value of stock option and warrant issuances is affected by the Company's stock price on the issuance date as well as valuation assumptions, including the volatility of the Company's common stock price, expected term of the instrument, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends.

The expected life of an instrument is calculated using the simplified method, which allows for using the mid-point between the vesting date and expiration date for stock options and the contractual term for warrants. The volatility factors are based on the historical two-year movement of the Company’s common stock prior to an instrument’s issuance date. The risk-free interest rate is based on United States Treasury rates with maturity periods similar to the expected instruments life on the issuance date.

The Company amortizes the fair value of options, warrants and restricted stock units on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each instrument.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the future tax consequences of differences between the tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities, measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company recognizes in the financial statements the benefit of a tax position that is "more likely than not" to be sustained under examination based solely on the technical merits of the position, assuming a review by tax authorities having all relevant information. Tax positions that meet the recognition threshold are measured using a cumulative probability approach, at the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized

upon settlement. The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to the unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as a component of income tax expense.

Certain subsidiaries of the Company, due to their cannabis activities, are subject to the provisions of Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, which prohibits businesses from deducting certain expenses associated with the trafficking of controlled substances within the meaning of Schedule I and II of the Controlled Substances Act. Such non-deductibility of certain ordinary business expenses results in permanent differences and can cause the Company’s effective tax rate to fluctuate significantly, and no necessarily correlated with pre-tax income.

Related Party Transactions

The Company’s financial statements include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business, as well as transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of financial statements.

Comprehensive Income

There were no items of comprehensive income applicable to the Company during the periods covered in the financial statements.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company regularly assesses the likelihood that a loss will be incurred from the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events. Such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing possible loss contingencies from legal proceedings or unasserted claims, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of such proceedings or claims, and of the relief sought or expected to be sought.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss will be incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

While not assured, management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that any loss contingency will have material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Risk and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to risks common to companies operating within the legal and medical cannabis industries, including, but not limited to, federal laws, government regulations and jurisdictional laws.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

(3) BUSINESS COMBINATION AND ASSET PURCHASES

Business Combination

Ermont

On March 9, 2023 (the "Ermont Acquisition Date"), the Company acquired the operating assets of Ermont, Inc. ("Ermont"), a medical-licensed vertical cannabis operator located in Quincy, Massachusetts (the "Ermont Acquisition"), following approval by the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (the "CCC") The Ermont Acquisition provided the Company with its third dispensary in Massachusetts, substantially completing its build-out to the maximum allowable by state regulations.

The financial results of Ermont are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since the Ermont Acquisition Date.

As consideration for the Ermont Acquisition, which totaled $13.0 million, the Company paid $3.0 million of cash, issued 6,580,390 shares of the Company's common stock with a fair value of $3.0 million, and issued a $7.0 million promissory note (the "Ermont Note" and collectively, the "Ermont Consideration"). The Ermont Note has a six-year term and bears interest at 6.0% per annum, with payments of interest-only for two years and thereafter, quarterly payments of principal and interest in arrears. The outstanding balance on the Ermont Note is subject to prepayment in the event the Company raises $75.0 million of equity capital. The Company recorded the Ermont Note at the present value of $4.6 million as of the Ermont Acquisition Date. The difference between the present value and face value of the Ermont Note is being amortized to interest expense through the term of such note.

The Company rebranded the dispensary as Panacea Wellness Dispensary and commenced medical sales immediately after the Ermont Acquisition Date. The Ermont Acquisition also includes a Host Community Agreement with the city of Quincy to conduct adult-use cannabis sales. Adult-use sales commenced on July 23, 2024. The Company expanded the existing medical dispensary to accommodate the expected increased traffic associated with adult-use sales and repurposed Ermont's existing cultivation facility.

The Company's consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 includes $3.8 million of revenue and $2.4 million of net loss attributable to Ermont for the period since the Ermont Acquisition Date.

The Ermont Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. The Company did not assume any of Ermont's liabilities. The Company recorded adjustments to the amounts allocated to certain identifiable intangible assets and goodwill to reflect more precise forecasts of future revenue streams. These adjustments resulted in an increase to the tradename and trademarks intangible asset of $0.1 million, a decrease to the customer base intangible asset of $3.9 million, and an increase to goodwill of $3.8 million.

A summary of the allocation of the Ermont Consideration to the acquired and identifiable intangible assets is as follows (in thousands):

Fair value of consideration transferred:

Cash consideration:

Less cash acquired (13)

Net cash consideration 2,987

Promissory note 4,569

Total fair value of consideration $ 10,550

Fair value of assets acquired:

Property and equipment $ 800

Intangible assets:

Tradename and trademarks 1,118

Customer base 768

Fair value of net assets acquired $ 10,550

The Company is amortizing the identifiable intangible assets arising from the Ermont Acquisition in relation to the expected cash flows from the individual intangible assets over their respective useful lives, which have a weighted average useful life of 12.19 years (see Note 10). Goodwill results from assets not separately identifiable as part of the transaction and is not deductible for tax purposes.

Valuation of Acquired Intangible Assets

The valuation of the acquired intangible assets is inherently subjective and relies on significant unobservable inputs. The Company used an income approach to value the acquired trade name/trademarks, licenses/customer base, and non-compete intangible assets. The valuation for each of these intangible assets was based on estimated projections of expected cash flows to be generated by the assets discounted to the present value at discount rates commensurate with perceived risk. The valuation assumptions take into consideration the Company’s estimates of new markets, products and customers and its outcome through key assumptions driving asset values, including sales growth, royalty rates and other related costs.

In August 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase 100% of the membership interests in Allgreens Dispensary, LLC (the "Allgreens Agreement"), a conditional adult-use cannabis dispensary license in Illinois, for $3.25 million, comprised of $2.25 million of cash and a promissory note for $1.0 million, which note was issued to the Allgreens members on the Allgreens Acquisition Date (the "Allgreens Notes"). Completion of the acquisition was dependent upon certain conditions, including resolution of any remaining legal challenges affecting nearly 200 social equity dispensary licenses, and regulatory approval of the acquisition. With the closing conditions met and the acquisition completed on April 9, 2024 (the "Allgreens Acquisition Date"), the Company now owns and operates five adult-use dispensaries in Illinois. For the interim period until the Allgreens Acquisition Date, the Company entered into a management agreement with Allgreens, with the management fees calculated as a percentage of Allgreens' revenue. Under this management agreement, the Company funded the build-out of the dispensary, including purchasing and retaining ownership of the related fixed assets it intended to use upon the transfer of ownership to the Company, hired and trained employees, and implemented the processes necessary to run the dispensary, all of which was completed prior to the state's approval of the license transfer to the Company. In connection with this agreement, the Company recorded expenses related to Allgreens aggregating approximately $250,000 for the period from January 1, 2024 through the Allgreens

Acquisition Date, and approximately $164,000 in the year ended December 31, 2023 (the "Allgreens Expenses"). The Allgreens Expenses for the year ended December 1, 2023 were included as a component of Investments, net of current portion, in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023.

Pursuant to the Allgreens Agreement, as of December 31, 2023, the Company had made payments aggregating $1,375,000 to the Allgreens members prior to the Allgreens Acquisition Date. On the Allgreens Acquisition Date, the Company made the final cash payment of $875,000 and issued the Allgreens Notes. The Allgreens Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum and mature one year from the date the dispensary was permitted to commence operations. At December 31, 2024, the principal balance of $1.0 million due under the Allgreens Notes was past due and in default.

(11) DEBT

Term Loan (the "CA Term Loan")

On January 24, 2023 (the "Term Loan Date"), the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, by and among the Company, subsidiaries of the Company from time to time party thereto (collectively with the Company, the “CA Borrowers”), lenders from time to time party thereto (the “CA Lenders”), and Chicago Atlantic Admin, LLC (“Chicago Atlantic”), as administrative agent for the Lenders (the "CA Credit Agreement"). Proceeds from the CA Credit Agreement were designated to complete the build-out of a new cultivation and processing facility in Illinois, complete the build-out of a new processing kitchen in Missouri, expand existing cultivation and processing facilities in Massachusetts and Maryland, fund certain capital expenditures, and repay in full the Kind Notes incurred in 2022 in connection with the acquisition of Kind Therapeutics USA, which repayment occurred on January 24, 2023. The remaining balance, if any, was expected to be used to fund acquisitions.

The CA Credit Agreement allowed for $35.0 million in the aggregate of principal borrowings at the CA Borrowers’ option and further provided the CA Borrowers with the right, subject to customary conditions, to request an additional incremental term loan in the aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million, provided that the CA Lenders elected to fund such incremental term loan. $30.0 million of loan principal was funded at the initial closing (the "CA Term Loan"), which amount was reduced by an original issuance discount of $0.9 million (the "CA Original Issuance Discount"). The Company had the option, during the six-month period following the initial closing, to draw down an additional $5.0 million, which it did not elect to do. The loan required scheduled amortization payments of 1.0% of the principal amount outstanding under the CA Credit Agreement per month commencing in May 2023, and the remaining principal balance was due in full on January 24, 2026, subject to extension to January 24, 2028 under certain circumstances.

The CA Credit Agreement provided the CA Borrowers with the right, subject to specified limitations, to incur (a) seller-provided debt in connection with future acquisitions, (b) additional mortgage financing from third-party lenders secured by real estate currently owned and acquired after the closing date, and (c) additional debt in connection with equipment leasing transactions. The obligations under the CA Credit Agreement were secured by substantially all of the assets of the CA Borrowers, excluding specified parcels of real estate and other customary exclusions.

The CA Credit Agreement provided for a floating annual interest rate equal to the prime rate then in effect plus 5.75%, which rate could be increased by 3.00% upon an event of default or 7.50% upon a material event of default as provided in the CA Credit Agreement. At any time, the Company could voluntarily prepay amounts due under the facility in minimum $5.0 million increments, subject to a three-percent prepayment premium and, during the first 20-months of the term, a “make-whole” payment.

The CA Credit Agreement included customary representations and warranties and customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to material indebtedness, and events of bankruptcy or insolvency. The CA Credit Agreement also included customary negative covenants limiting the CA Borrowers’ ability to incur additional indebtedness and grant certain liens, among others. Additionally, the CA Credit Agreement required the CA Borrowers to meet certain financial tests. The Company was in compliance with the CA Credit Agreement covenants and financial tests throughout the term of the CA Credit Agreement.

The CA Credit Agreement provided for 30% warrant coverage against amounts funded under the facility, priced at a 20% premium to the trailing 20-day average price on the closing date of each such funding. At the initial closing, upon funding of the initial $30.0 million under the facility, the Company issued to the CA Lenders an aggregate of 19,148,936 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.47 per share, exercisable for a five-year period following issuance. The Company recorded the warrants at their present value of $5.5 million as of January 24, 2023 as a component of Additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheet, and discounted the CA Term Loan amount by $5.5 million (the "CA Warrant Discount"). The Company amortized the CA Warrant Discount to interest expense over the period that the CA Credit Agreement was outstanding.

The Company incurred $1.8 million of third party costs (i.e., legal fees, referral fees, etc.) in connection with the CA Term Loan, which were recorded as a discount to the CA Term Loan (the "CA Third-Party Costs Discount"), which was being amortized to interest expense over the term of the CA Credit Agreement. The Company recorded $2.1 million of aggregate interest amortization from the Term Loan Date to the CA Payoff Date (as described below) related to the CA Original Issuance Discount, CA Warrant Discount and CA Third Party Costs Discount.

On November 16, 2023 (the "CA Payoff Date"), the Company repaid and retired the CA Term Loan (the "CA Term Loan Payoff") using proceeds from a new $58.7 million loan entered into on the same date (see "CREM Loan" below). The CA Term Loan Payoff amount totaled $32.7 million, comprised of $28.5 million for the outstanding principal, $3.7 million for the make-whole payment, $0.2 million for accrued unpaid interest and $0.3 million for transaction-related fees. The Company recognized a loss of $10.2 million in connection with the CA Term Loan Payoff, which it recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023.

The CREM Lender has a first priority security interest in all of the CREM Borrowers' operating assets in Maryland and Massachusetts and first priority mortgages on the CREM Borrowers' properties owned in Maryland and Massachusetts.

The CREM Loan Transaction matures in ten years and has an interest rate for the initial five years of 8.43% per annum.

The CREM Borrowers made interest-only payments for the first twelve months of the term of the loan, with payments thereafter based upon a twenty-year amortization schedule.

The CREM Lender initially released $52.8 million to the CREM Borrowers (the "Initial CREM Distribution"). The remaining proceeds of $5.9 million were held in escrow to complete the expansion of the Company's Hagerstown, Maryland cultivation facility (the "Hagerstown Facility"), with any unused proceeds to be released to the Company after completion of the Hagerstown Facility expansion. The Company used $46.8 million of the Initial CREM Distribution to fully repay certain of its outstanding debt obligations. These payments were comprised of $32.7 million for the CA Term Loan Payoff, $11.9 million to pay off the mortgage with Bank of New England for the New Bedford, MA and

Middleborough, MA properties, and $2.2 million to reduce the outstanding balance of the note issued by the Company in connection with the Ermont Acquisition.

The Company incurred bank closing costs and third party costs (i.e., legal fees, etc.) aggregating $1.5 million in connection with the CREM Loan Transaction, which were recorded as a discount to the Loan Transaction (the "CREM Closing Costs Discount"), and which are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the CREM Loan Transaction. The Company recorded interest amortization of approximately $73,000 in the year ended December 31, 2024 and nominal interest amortization in the year ended December 31, 2023 related to the CREM Closing Costs Discount.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, $5.1 million of the escrowed portion of the loan proceeds was released to the Company.

The Company recorded a loss of $0.2 million on the early repayment of the Refinanced Mortgage, which amount is included as a component of Loss on extinguishment of debt in the Company's consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The original issuance date of the Series B Stock was February 27, 2020. The Series B Holders are entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the shares of Series B Stock are convertible, together with the holders of common stock as a single class, on most matters.
