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.

On August 31, 2021, we completed our merger with KushCo Holdings, Inc. (“KushCo”) and have included the results of operations of KushCo in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss from that date forward. In connection with the merger with KushCo, the Greenlane Certificate of Incorporation was amended and restated (the “A&R Charter”) in order to (i) increase the number of authorized shares of Greenlane Class B common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class B Common stock”), from 10 million shares to 30 million shares in order to effect the conversion of each outstanding share of Class C common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class C common stock”), into one-third of one share of Class B common stock, (ii) increase the number of authorized shares of Class A common stock from 125 million shares to 600 million shares, and (iii) eliminate references to the Class C common stock. Pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 31, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”) with KushCo, immediately prior to the consummation of the business combination, holders of Class C common stock received one-third of one share of Class B common stock for each share of Class C common stock held immediately prior to the closing of the merger.

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.

Reverse Stock Splits

On June 2, 2023, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to the A&R Charter with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware (“SSSD”), which effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split (the “2023 Reverse Stock Split” and together with the 2022 Reverse Stock Split, the “Reverse Stock Splits”) of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock at 5:01 PM Eastern Time on June 5, 2023. As a result of the 2023 Reverse Stock Split, every ten shares of common stock issued and outstanding were converted into one share of common stock. We paid cash in lieu of fractional shares, and accordingly, no fractional shares were issued in connection with the 2023 Reverse Stock Split.

On July 23, 2024, the Board approved the reverse split at a ratio of one-for-11 and the Amendment has been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which became effective on August 5, 2024 at 12:01 AM Eastern Time, before the opening of trading on the Nasdaq.

The Reverse Stock Splits did not change the par value of the Common Stock or the authorized number of shares of Common Stock. All outstanding options, restricted stock awards, warrants and other securities entitling their holders to purchase or otherwise receive shares of our Common Stock have been adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Splits, as required by the terms of each security. The number of shares available to be awarded under our Amended and Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan have also been appropriately adjusted. See “Note 10 — Compensation Plans” for more information.

All share and per share amounts in these consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to the Reverse Stock Splits, including reclassifying an amount equal to the reduction in par value of Common Stock to additional paid-in capital.

Liquidity and Going Concern

Pursuant to ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern (“ASC 205-40”), management must evaluate whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. In accordance with ASC 205-40, management’s analysis can only include the potential mitigating impact of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented as of the issuance date if (a) it is probable that management’s plans will be effectively implemented on a timely basis, and (b) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will alleviate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a 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.

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 December 31, 2024, 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 13 for more information.

ATM Program and Shelf Registration Statement

We formerly used a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) to conduct securities offerings from time to time in order to meet our liquidity needs. In August 2021, we filed a prospectus supplement and established an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”) that provided for the sale of shares of our Class A common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50 million, from time to time.

Since the launch of the ATM program in August 2021 and through December 31, 2022, we sold shares of our Class A common stock which generated gross proceeds of approximately $12.7 million and we paid fees to the sales agent of approximately $0.4 million. Due to the untimely filing of certain of our Quarterly and Annual Reports, that was remediated in 2024, we are unable to issue additional shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the ATM Program or otherwise use the Shelf Registration Statement and once eligible will be required to file a Form S-3.

Common Stock and Warrant Offerings.

On June 29, 2023, we entered into securities purchase agreements with certain investors, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of 560,476 shares of our Class A common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 3,487,143 shares of our Class A Common Stock (the “July 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants”) and warrants to purchase up to 8,095,238 shares of our Class A common stock (the “July 2023 Standard Warrants”). The July 2023 units were offered pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “July 2023 Offering”). The July 2023 Offering generated gross proceeds of approximately $4.3 million and net proceeds to the Company of approximately $3.8 million and closed on July 3, 2023. See “Note 9 – Stockholders’ Equity” for further information.

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 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.

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 is 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”). See Note 4 for more information.

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to issue warrants to the Holders, with an initial exercise price of $3.04, exercisable 180 days after issuance (the “Exchange Inducement Warrants”). The Exchange Inducement Warrants were issued to incentivize the holders to exercise some or all of their existing warrants originally issued on August 13, 2024 (the “Existing Warrants”) for cash, which existing warrants have an exercise price of $2.50 per share. The Exchange Inducement Warrants are initially exercisable for zero shares, but to the extent that the Holders exercise any of such Existing Warrants during the one-hundred sixty day inducement period, the Exchange Inducement Warrants will become exercisable on April 30, 2025 for 200% of the number of Existing Warrants exercised for cash during such inducement period.

Also, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Senior Subordinated Lender agreed that it will exercise its Existing Warrants for cash prior to exercising any of its outstanding pre-funded warrants, contingent on the market price of the common stock being above $2.50 per share and certain other conditions. The above agreement will terminate upon the Company receiving certain cash proceeds and prepaying at least $2,250,000 of Cobra Alternative Capital Strategies LLC (“Cobra”) Notes.

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 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 agreed to exchange 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.

Asset-Based Loan

On August 9, 2022, we entered into an asset-based loan agreement dated as of August 8, 2022 (the “Loan Agreement”), which made available to the Company a term loan of up to $15.0 million. On February 9, 2023, we entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Loan Agreement, in which we agreed to, among other things, voluntarily prepay approximately $6.6 million (inclusive of early termination fees and expenses) under the terms provided for under the Loan Agreement and the lenders under the Loan Agreement agreed to release $5.7 million in funds held in a blocked account pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement.

On August 7, 2023, we repaid the approximately $4.3 million in aggregate principal amount (the “Loan Repayment”) which remained outstanding under the terms of the Loan Agreement. As a result of the Loan Repayment, the Company has been released from its obligations under the Loan Agreement, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. See “Note 6 - Long Term Debt” for more information.

ERC Sale

On February 16, 2023, two of our wholly owned subsidiaries, Warehouse Goods LLC and Kim International LLC, entered into an agreement with a third-party institutional investor pursuant to which the investor purchased, for approximately $4.9 million in cash, an economic participation interest, at a discount, in our rights to payment from the United States Internal Revenue Service for certain periods with respect to the employee retention credits filed by us under the Employee Retention Credit program.

Future Receivables Financing

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. At December 31, 2024, no such financing remained outstanding. See “Note 6 - Long Term Debt” for more information.

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 six-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. See “Note 6 - Long Term Debt” for more information

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 will be 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.

The Company has incurred net losses of $17.7 million and $32.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, cash used in operating activities were $6.7 million and $1.8 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 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. 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:

■ Further reducing operating costs expense by taking additional restructuring actions to align cost with revenue to achieve profitability.

■ Increasing revenue by introducing new products and acquiring new customers.

■ Execute on strategic partnerships accretive to margins and operating cash

■ Seeking additional capital through the issuance of debt or equity securities.

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 the Management Discussion and Analysis.
