Redemptions of Common Units of the Operating Company
During the first quarter of 2021, the Operating Company received redemption notices for an aggregate of 1,325,000 Common Units. Based upon these redemption notices, pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement, we issued shares of Class A common stock in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 to the redeeming members of the Operating Company on a one-to-one basis to the number of Common Units redeemed, and we also cancelled a number of Class C common stock held by the redeeming members equal to three times the number of Common Units redeemed for no consideration.
During the first quarter of 2021, the Operating Company received redemption notices for an aggregate of 1,042,326 Common Units. Based upon these redemptions notices, pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement, we issued shares of Class A common stock in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 to the redeeming members of the Operating Company on a one-to-one basis to the number of Common Units redeemed, and we also cancelled an equivalent number of Class B common stock held by the redeeming members for no consideration.
Acquisition of Eyce, LLC
Effective March 2, 2021, we acquired substantially all the assets of Eyce, LLC ("Eyce"), a designer and manufacturer of pipes, bubblers, rigs and other smoking and vaporization related accessories and merchandise, for consideration of $11.1 million, which consisted of cash and our Class A common stock, contingent consideration, and a promissory note payable to Eyce. We acquired Eyce to bolster our quality product offerings and accelerate growth in our Greenlane Brands portfolio.
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021
On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 was signed into law, which contains provisions that became effective in March 2021, which prohibit the mailing of electronic nicotine delivery systems ("ENDS") through the United States Postal Service ("USPS") and places certain regulatory requirements on shipment of ENDS through other carriers. Certain private carriers, including UPS and FedEx, also have policies restricting or prohibiting the shipment of certain vaporization products. These restrictions apply to nicotine vaporizers we sell, but it remains unclear if the restrictions apply to other vaporizer products. If the products we carry cannot be shipped by USPS or private carriers, or we must comply with burdensome policies and regulations, our shipping costs could be adversely and materially impacted, and we could lose our ability to deliver products to customers in a timely and economical manner. We are unable to determine the extent of the impact to the business until further guidance and clarification is issued.
