NOTE 1. BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

Greenlane Holdings, LLC (formerly known as Jacoby Holdings LLC) (“the Operating Company”) is a company with investments in several companies that merchandise vaporizers and other products in the United States and Canada. Through its operating subsidiaries, the Operating Company distributes to retailers through its wholesale operations and to consumers through its e-commerce activities. The Operating Company operates four distribution centers in the United States and two distribution centers in Canada. The Operating Company was organized under the laws of the state of Delaware on October 28, 2015, and is based in Boca Raton, Florida.

 

Greenlane Holdings, Inc. (“Greenlane”) was formed as a Delaware corporation on May 2, 2018. Greenlane is a holding company that was formed for the purpose of completing an underwritten IPO of shares of its Class A common stock and other related Transactions in order to carry on the business of the Operating Company and its subsidiaries. On April 23, 2019, Greenlane completed its IPO of 6,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, which was comprised of 5,250,000 shares of Class A common stock sold by Greenlane and 750,000 shares sold by certain selling stockholders (comprised of Aaron LoCascio, Greenlane’s Chief Executive Officer, Adam Schoenfeld, Greenlane’s Chief Strategy Officer, and an affiliated entity of Messrs. LoCascio and Schoenfeld), in each case at a public offering price of $17.00 per share. On April 29, 2019, the underwriters purchased an additional 450,000 shares of Class A common stock from the selling stockholders pursuant to the partial exercise of their option to purchase additional shares in the IPO. Greenlane did not receive any proceeds from the sale of Class A common stock by the selling stockholders. The sale of shares of Class A common stock by Greenlane generated aggregate net proceeds to Greenlane, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Operating Company, of approximately $80.4 million. Greenlane contributed all of the net proceeds to the Operating Company in exchange for a number of Common Units equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock sold by Greenlane in the IPO at a price per Common Unit equal to the IPO price per share of Class A common stock. After giving effect to the IPO and the related Transactions, Greenlane owned approximately 23.9% of the Operating Company’s outstanding Common Units. As a result of the IPO, Greenlane is the sole manager of the Operating Company and, as a result, Greenlane operates and controls all of the business and affairs of the Operating Company, and through the Operating Company and its subsidiaries, continues to conduct the business now conducted by these subsidiaries.
