NOTE 1. BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND ORGANIZATION

Organization

Greenlane Holdings, Inc. (“Greenlane” and, collectively with the Operating Company (as defined below) and its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) was formed as a Delaware corporation on May 2, 2018. We are a holding company that was formed for the purpose of completing an underwritten initial public offering (“IPO”) of shares of our Class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Class A common stock”), in order to carry on the business of Greenlane Holdings, LLC (the “Operating Company”). The Operating Company was organized under the laws of the state of Delaware on September 1, 2015, and is based in Boca Raton, Florida. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the “Company” refer to us, and our consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Company.

We merchandise premium cannabis accessories, child-resistant packaging, specialty vaporization solutions and lifestyle products in the United States, Canada, Europe and Latin America, serving a diverse and expansive customer base with thousands of retail locations, licensed cannabis dispensaries, smoke shops, multi-state operators (“MSOs”), specialty retailers, and retail consumers.

We have been developing a portfolio of our own proprietary brands (the “Greenlane Brands”) that we believe will, over time, deliver higher margins and create long-term value for our customers and shareholders. Our wholly-owned Greenlane Brands includes Groove – our more affordable product line and Higher Standards – our premium smoke shop and ancillary product brand, and our award winning Vapor.com website and brand. We also have category exclusive licenses for the premium Marley Natural branded products, as well as the K.Haring branded products.

We are the sole manager of the Operating Company and our principal asset is Common Units of the Operating Company (“Common Units”). As the sole manager of the Operating Company, we operate and control all of the business and affairs of the Operating Company, and we conduct our business through the Operating Company and its subsidiaries. We have a board of directors and executive officers, but no employees. All of our assets are held and all of the employees are employed by wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Company.

We have the sole voting interest in, and control the management of, the Operating Company, and we have the obligation to absorb losses of, and receive benefits from the Operating Company that could be significant. We determined that the Operating Company is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and that we are the primary beneficiary of the Operating Company. Accordingly, pursuant to the VIE accounting model, beginning in the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2019, we consolidated the Operating Company in our consolidated financial statements and reported a non-controlling interest related to the Common Units held by the members of the Operating Company (other than the Common Units held by us) on our consolidated financial statements.

Our corporate structure is commonly referred to as an “Up-C” structure. The Up-C structure allows the Operating Company to continue to realize tax benefits associated with owning interests in an entity that is treated as a partnership, or “pass-through” entity. One of these benefits is that future taxable income of the Operating Company that is allocated to its members will be taxed on a flow-through basis and therefore will not be subject to corporate taxes at the Operating Company entity level. Additionally, because a member may redeem their Common Units for shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis or, at our option, for cash, the Up-C structure also provides the member with potential liquidity that holders of non-publicly traded limited liability companies are not typically afforded.

In connection with the IPO, we entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (the “TRA”) with the Operating Company and the Operating Company’s members and a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Operating Company’s members. The TRA provides for the payment by us to the Operating Company’s member(s) of 85.0% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that we may actually realize (or in some cases, are deemed to realize) as a result of (i) the step-up in tax basis in our share of the Operating Company’s assets resulting from the redemption of Common Units under the mechanism described above and (ii) certain other tax benefits attributable to payments made under the TRA. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we have agreed to register the resale of shares of Class A common stock that are issuable to the Operating Company’s members upon redemption or exchange of their Common Units.

The A&R Charter and the Fourth Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of the Operating Company (the “Operating Agreement”) require that (a) we at all times maintain a ratio of one Common Unit owned by us for each share of our Class A common stock issued by us (subject to certain exceptions), and (b) the Operating Company at all times maintains (i) a one-to-one ratio between the number of shares of our Class A common stock issued by us and the number of Common Units owned by us, and (ii) a one-to-one ratio between the number of shares of our Class B common stock owned by the non-founder members of the Operating Company and the number of Common Units owned by the non-founder members of the Operating Company.

Liquidity and Going Concern

Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are working capital, debt service related to recent acquisitions and general corporate needs. Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash on hand and the cash flow that we generate from our operations, as well as proceeds from other equity issuances.

The Company has incurred net losses of $3.9 million and $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, cash used in operating activities were $3.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The recent macroeconomic environment has caused weaker demand than contemplated under the Company’s business plan, resulting in a reduction in projected revenue and cash flows for the twelve-month period included in the going concern evaluation.

We believe that our cash on hand that includes cash raised in the February 2025 Private Placement and the cash flow that we generate from our operations will be sufficient to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements, as well as our debt repayments and other liquidity requirements associated with our existing operations, for the next 12 months. Based on our cash on hand and working capital at March 31, 2025, we expect to have sufficient cash to fund planned operations through the second quarter of 2026. This is largely due to the Company’s Private Placement that occurred on February 19, 2025. See Note 9 for more information.

Moving forward, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon successful execution of management’s intended plan over the next twelve months to improve the Company’s liquidity and profitability, which includes, without limitation:

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this going concern uncertainty. For a more complete description of our initiatives, see below and the Management Discussion and Analysis.

Common Stock and Warrant Offerings.

On August 7, 2024, the Company issued a note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $3,237,269 to Cobra. The Note was due the earlier of (i) February 5, 2025; or (ii) the Company’s receipt of at least $3,500,000 of gross proceeds from an offering of their securities (a “Qualified Offering”) and contain a 20% original issue discount. The Notes were convertible into common stock after maturity if not paid prior. In connection with the issuance of the Note, the Company issued the Investor warrants to purchase up to 1,618,635 shares at the Qualified Offering Price. The Note was repaid in full in February 2025 in the amount of $4.0 million.

On August 12, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a single institutional investor for aggregate gross cash proceeds of $6.5 million. In connection with the private placement, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,363,637 units and pre-funded units. The pre-funded units were sold at the same purchase price as the units, less the pre-funded warrant exercise price of $0.001. Each unit and pre-funded unit consisted of one share of common stock (or one pre-funded warrant) and two common warrants, each exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. The common warrant will be exercisable on the initial exercise date described in the common warrant and will expire 5.0 years from such date. In February 2025, the Company exchanged 4,587,274 two and one-half (2.5) year warrants with an exercise price of $2.98 per share. See Note 9 for more information.

Future Receivables Financings

In July, August, October, and November 2023, the Company received an aggregate of approximately $3.9 million in cash pursuant to the terms of future receivables financings (collectively, the “Future Receivables Financings”) entered into with two private lenders the “Future Receivables Financings”). During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company’s financings were in a series of transactions refinanced as they were not able to make the proscribed monthly payments for the repayment of cash advances. As such the refinancings and the payment schedule was restructured and the total balance increased to $4.6 million which included deferred financing fees of approximately $2.8 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Future Receivables Financings were purchased by the Senior Subordinated Lender and paid down to $0 during the October 29, 2024 restructuring.

On October 29, 2024, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with its Senior Subordinated Lender, whereby the Company agreed to exchange an aggregate of $4,617,307 of debt originally owed to Agile Capital Funding LLC and Cedar Advance LLC in a 3(a)(9) exchange for new Senior Subordinated Notes in the principal amount of $4,000,000 due one year from issuance (the “Exchange Note”), reducing outstanding indebtedness by approximately $617,000. The Exchange Note was convertible at the option of the holder at $3.17 per share. In connection with the Exchange, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,261,830 five year warrants with an exercise price of $3.04 per share (the “Exchange Warrants”). In February 2025 the Company repaid the Senior Subordinated Lender in full in the amount of $4.0 million. In February 2025, the Company exchanged 1,541,830 two and one-half (2.5) year warrants with an exercise price of $2.98 per share for the Series B warrants issued in the February 2025 private placement. See Note 9 for more information.

On February 18, 2025, the Company entered into definitive agreements with institutional investors for the purchase and sale of approximately $25.0 million of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (“Common Stock”) and investor warrants at a price of $1.19 per Common Unit (“the 2025 Offering”). The entire transaction has been priced at the market under Nasdaq rules.

The offering consisted of the sale of Common Units (or “Pre-Funded Units”), each consisting of (i) one (1) share of Common Stock or one (1) Pre-Funded Warrant, (ii) one (1) Series A PIPE Common Warrant to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock per warrant at an exercise price of $1.4875 (“Series A Warrant”) and (iii) one (1) Series B PIPE Common Warrant to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock per warrant at an exercise price of $2.975 (“Series B Warrant” and together with the Series A Warrant, the “Warrants”). The initial exercise price of each Series A Warrant is $1.4875 per share of Common Stock. The Series A Warrants are exercisable following stockholder approval and expire five (5) years thereafter. The number of securities issuable under the Series A Warrant is subject to adjustment as described in more detail in the Series A Warrant. The initial exercise price of each Series B Warrant is $2.975 per share of Common Stock or pursuant to an alternative cashless exercise option. The Series B Warrants are exercisable following stockholder approval and expire two and one-half (2.5) years thereafter. The number of securities issuable under the Series B Warrant is subject to adjustment as described in the Series B Warrant.

Also, on February 18, 2025, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with certain holders (the “Holders”) of three tranches of warrants to purchase Common Stock previously issued by the Company in August 2024 and October 2024. Under such Exchange Agreement, such Holders exchanged with the Company such existing warrants for approximately 6.1 million new warrants to purchase common stock, substantially in the form of the Series B Warrants.

Secured Bridge Loan

On September 22, 2023, the Company entered into a secured loan pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement (the “September 2023 Loan Agreement”), dated as of September 22, 2023 with Synergy Imports, LLC (the “Secured Bridge Loan Lender”).

Pursuant to the September 2023 Loan Agreement, the Secured Bridge Loan Lender agreed to make available to the Company a six6-month bridge loan of $2.2 million in new funds. Additionally, the Secured Bridge Loan Lender agreed to defer payments totaling $2,028,604 already owed by the Company under existing payment obligations and potentially defer up to an additional $2,655,778 which may become due pursuant to existing agreements during the term of the September 2023 Loan Agreement.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Company agreed to pledge all of its assets, with the exception of deposit accounts and accounts receivable, as collateral. Additionally, the Company agreed to transfer one US patent and two related foreign patents and a related trademark in exchange for an exclusive license back of such assets in the area of smoking products and accessories in connection with the September 2023 Loan Agreement.

In May 2024, the Company modified its debt agreement with Synergy to reduce the principal balance due by $2.7 million from $5.1 million as part of the Loan Modification Agreement concurrent with the Asset Purchase Agreement. Synergy acquired certain assets from the Company in exchange for the reduction in overall principal owed. During 2024 Cobra acquired the Secured Bridge Loan from the Secured Bridge Loan Lender which was restructured as part of the Note Amendment on October 29, 2024.

Note Payable

On June 7, 2024, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with Cobra Alternative Capital Strategies, LLC (the “Subscription Agreement”). As of December 31, 2024, the Company has been loaned $3.1 million with net cash proceeds of $2.6 million pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. The note was issued with a 20% original issue discount and is due in full on December 7, 2024. See “Note 6 - Long Term Debt” for more information. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company repaid the amount in full.

On August 7, 2024, the Company issued a note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $3,237,269 to Cobra. The Note is due the earlier of (i) February 5, 2025; or (ii) the Company’s receipt of at least $3,500,000 of gross proceeds from an offering of their securities (a “Qualified Offering”) and contain a 20% original issue discount. The Notes are convertible into common stock after maturity if not paid prior. In connection with the issuance of the Note, the Company issued the Investor warrants to purchase up to 1,618,635 shares at the Qualified Offering Price.

On October 29, 2024, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note (the “Note Amendment”) with Cobra. Pursuant to the Note Amendment, Cobra agreed to extend the Maturity Date of its Secured Bridge Loan and the Subscription Agreement (together the “Notes”). The new Maturity Date was changed to October 29, 2025. In consideration for the extension, the Company (i) agreed to make such Notes convertible at the option of Cobra with a conversion price of $3.17 per share, (ii) agreed to prepay Cobra’s debt with 50% of any money raised by the Company from warrant exercise proceeds and from capital raise transactions, and (iii) issued Cobra an aggregate of 500,000 five year warrants with an exercise price of $3.04 per share which are identical to the Exchange Warrants. This loan was repaid in full as part of the February 2025 Private Placement.

Management Initiatives

We have completed several initiatives to optimize our working capital requirements. We launched Groove, a new, innovative Greenlane Brands product line, and we also rationalized our third-party brands product offering, which enables us to reduce inventory carrying costs and working capital requirements.

In April 2023, we entered into two strategic partnerships. First, we entered into a strategic partnership (the “MJ Packaging Partnership”) with A&A Global Imports d/b/a MarijuanaPackaging.com (“MJ Pack”), a leading provider of packaging solutions to the cannabis industry.

Second, we entered into a strategic partnership with an affiliate of one of our existing vape suppliers (“Vape Partner”) to service certain key customers with vaporizer goods and services (the “Vape Partnership”). As part of the Vape Partnership, we will introduce our Vape Partner to certain key customers, assist with the promotion and the sale of certain vaporizer goods and services, and help coordinate the logistics, storage and distribution of such vaporizer products. If our Vape Partner and key customer(s) enter into a direct relationship, the customers would directly purchase vaporizer goods and services, which we currently sell them, directly from our Vape Partner and we would no longer need to purchase such vape inventory on behalf of such key customer(s). In exchange we would earn quarterly and annual commission payments from our strategic partner. While the strategic partnership may result in a decrease in top line revenue for these packaging and vape products, this partnership combined with some of our other restructuring initiatives should allow us to reduce our overall cost-structure and enhance our margins, thereby improving our balance sheet.

We have successfully renegotiated many of our vendor and supplier partnership terms and are continuing to improve working capital arrangements with our vendors and suppliers. We have made progress consolidating and streamlining our office, warehouse, and distribution operations footprint. We have reduced our workforce significantly to reduce costs and align with our revenue projections.
