NOTE 10. MEMBERS' DEFICIT

 

Effective February 20, 2018, the Operating Company amended and restated its limited liability company operating agreement (the "LLC Agreement") and reclassified all Common membership units to Class A common units and created redeemable Class B units in conjunction with the Operating Company's acquisition of a 100% interest in Better Life Holdings, LLC. As a result of the issuance of a second class of membership units, the beginning balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2018 was reclassified to the Class A units capital account and net loss and other distributions occurring during 2018 and onward have been allocated to the Class A and redeemable Class B units capital accounts. The Class A common units have voting rights and participate in the residual equity of the Operating Company pro-rata with the redeemable Class B units, which have no voting rights. See "Note 11—Redeemable Class B Units." Each member's percentage interest in the Operating Company was as follows at March 31, 2019:

 

Member   Class of Units   Percentage Interest  
Jacoby & Co. Inc.   Class A units     70.35 %
Adam Schoenfeld   Class A units     12.41 %
Better Life Products Investment Group, Inc.   Class B redeemable units     7.59 %
Rochester Vapor Group, LLC   Class B redeemable units     2.01 %
Pollen Gear LLC   Class B redeemable units     4.00 %
Executive Management Team   Class B redeemable units     3.64 %
          100.00 %

 

The LLC Agreement does not provide a number of authorized membership units.

 

Pursuant to the Stock Redemption Settlement Agreement executed on December 21, 2018, the Operating Company used a portion of the net proceeds received from the sale of the convertible notes, which are discussed further in "Note 6—Long Term Debt," to redeem membership units from the Operating Company's members, substantially on a pro rata basis to the members' ownership interest percentage in the Operating Company; that is, the amount disbursed to Class A and redeemable Class B unit holders was determined by multiplying the total ownership interest percentage of each member by the total amount disbursed. On January 7, 2019, an aggregate of approximately $3.0 million was disbursed, of which approximately $2.6 million was disbursed to Class A unit holders and approximately $416,000 was disbursed to redeemable Class B unit holders. The redemption was settled in connection with Greenlane's IPO, which was completed on April 23, 2019. In consideration for such portion of the redemption amount paid to each member, each member delivered to the Operating Company a number of Common Units (as defined in "Note 16— Subsequent Events") equal to the amount of the redemption amount paid to such member, divided by the price per share at which the Class A common stock of Greenlane was sold in the IPO. No further payments were due to the members upon such settlement.
