Revolving Facility

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company drew proceeds of $13,214 and made principal and interest payments of $13,388 on its Revolving Facility. On October 3, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment with the lender through its subsidiary Jupiter to amend certain terms in the debt agreement, which included reducing the borrowing capacity of the Revolving Facility from $12,500 to $6,000.

​

The Company paid $41 and $73 for lender fees during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

2023 Refinanced Notes

The 2023 Refinanced Notes include the remaining $38,000 in aggregate principal from the 2019 Junior Notes. The 2023 Refinanced Notes mature on February 15, 2026, and bear interest at the greater of 16% or the prime rate plus 8.5% payable monthly. The interest rate is subject to an increase by 1% annually if the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the 2023 Refinanced Notes is greater than $30,000 on the first anniversary or greater than $22,000 on the second anniversary of the Effective Date. On February 15, 2024, the base interest rate increased from 17.0% to 18.0%, as the aggregate principal amount was greater than $30,000 on that date. As of March 31, 2025, the Company used a default rate of 25.0% to accrue interest on the 2023 Refinanced Notes due to this noncompliance. The 25.0% interest rate represents the prime rate of 7.5% plus 8.5%, the 8% default interest rate, and the 1% annual increase pursuant to the NPA Amendment, as the principal balance was more than $30,000 as of the first anniversary of the Effective Date. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, compounded interest of $3,467 was added to the principal balance and no principal payments were made.

​

As part of the 2023 Refinanced Notes, the Company recognized a debt discount of $7,106. This amount included $5,106 related to the fair value of warrants issued to each Note Holder (the “Debt Modification Warrants”), and $2,000 in fees owed to the Note Holders. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded amortization expense of $503 and $22, respectively. These amortization amounts are included in interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The balance net of amortization was $4,811 as of March 31, 2025.

2023 New Notes

The 2023 New Notes issued included aggregate principal of $8,260 due to the Note Holders, with a maturity date of February 15, 2027. The 2023 New Notes bear interest at the greater of 16% or the prime rate plus 8.5% payable quarterly. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, compounded interest of $800 and $656 was added to the principal balance, respectively, and no principal payments were made.

Employee Retention Credit Note

During August 2023, the Company filed a claim with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for employee retention credits (“ERC”) totaling $3,615. To accelerate access to the ERC funds, the Company signed an agreement with 1861 Acquisition LLC (“1861 Acquisition”). 1861 Acquisition advanced cash of $3,594 to the Company, which included $619 for fees charged by 1861 Acquisition. The Company expected the IRS to approve or deny its claim within the next 12 months. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company received approval and refunds from the IRS in the amount of $1,274. Of this amount, $242 represented accumulated interest and was passed through to 1861 Acquisition. The remaining $1,032 settled a portion of the ERC note and is included in other income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Upon approval and payment of the remaining claim, the Company will settle the outstanding balance in cash to 1861 Acquisition. In the event the claim is denied in part or in total, the Company is required to pay the outstanding balance upon the denial.

2024 Standard Farms Loan

​

On May 2, 2024, Standard Farms PA entered into a Secured Promissory Note with a third party experienced retailer and operator (the “Lender”) (the “2024 Standard Farms Loan”). Under the terms of the 2024 Standard Farms Loan, Standard Farms PA can borrow up to $10,500 from the Lender. Proceeds from the 2024 Standard Farms Loan will be used to construct dispensaries obtained via a permit issued from the Department of Health, Bureau of Medical Marijuana, of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the “Commonwealth”). The Standard Farms PA permit will allow the construction and operation of up to three medical marijuana dispensaries in the Commonwealth (collectively, the “Retail Locations”). Proceeds from the 2024 Standard Farms Loan will also be utilized for the initial setup and operation of the Retail Locations.

The 2024 Standard Farms Loan will mature on December 31, 2027, and will initially bear interest at 20%. No principal or interest payments will be due under the 2024 Standard Farms Loan before the maturity date, and the 2024 Standard Farms Loan may not be prepaid in cash or kind without the Lender’s prior written consent.

​

On May 2, 2024, the Company drew $3,000 on the 2024 Standard Farms Loan and recognized a debt discount of $784. Of this amount, $662 was related to lender fees, and $122 represents above market interest, which is the difference between the market interest rate and the stated interest rate. The $3,000 cash receipt was allocated first to the fair value of a bifurcated embedded derivative at $1,700, with the remainder allocated to the note balance. The embedded derivative comprises a contingent interest feature. The contingent interest feature applies an escalating interest rate to the 2024 Standard Farms Loan outstanding balance upon Standard Farms PA opening a Retail Location and completing the first commercial sale in the Commonwealth (“Location Opening Date”). At that time, the interest rate will increase to 30%, and then to 40% six months after the Location Opening Date that applies through maturity.

​

The Retail Location opened on February 14, 2025, which resolved the contingent interest feature and resulted in the derecognition of the embedded derivative. The balance of the embedded derivative was zero as of March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company drew an additional $1,760 on the 2024 Standard Farms Loan for buildout of the Retail Locations and recognized an additional debt discount of $1,393. Of this amount, $388 was related to lender fees, and $1,005 represents above market interest. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 amortization expense related to the total debt discount was $119, which is included in interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The balance net of amortization was $3,573 as of March 31, 2025.

​

The Company can request the remaining $5,500 in two separate tranches based on achieving certain criteria set forth in the 2024 Standard Farms Loan agreement.

Because the capital is to fund the construction and operation of the new dispensaries, the 2024 Standard Farms Loan is secured by a first priority security interest in the retail assets of Standard Farms PA (the “Borrower Collateral”), and a second priority security interest in the equity interests of Standard Farms PA that are held by the Company’s subsidiary Baker (the “Baker Collateral”). Also on May 2, 2024, the Lender entered into a Consent, Collateral Release and Subordination Agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”) with the Company’s existing creditors to subordinate the Lender’s interest in the Baker Collateral and release the existing creditors’ interest in the Borrower Collateral. The Lender’s security interest is further described in in a Security Agreement, dated May 2, 2024, by and among Standard Farms PA, the Lender and Baker Technologies, Inc. (the “Security Agreement” and, collectively with the Note and the Subordination Agreement, the “Dispensary Agreements”).

The 2024 Standard Farms Loan and the Security Agreement include usual and customary loan provisions including: affirmative and negative covenants, events of default, representations and warranties. In the case of an event of default under the 2024 Standard Farms Loan, Standard Farms PA may become obligated to pay a multiplied balance of up to four times the then-outstanding obligations under the 2024 Standard Farms Loan, all obligations under the 2024 Standard Farms Loan may be accelerated and all remedies may be exercised by Lender. All obligations under the 2024 Standard Farms Loan are guaranteed by the Company, which guarantee shall terminate if and when a first priority security interest in the properly held retail assets of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Standard Farms PA is activated. In order to provide collateral free from prior liens, under the terms of the loan documents, Lender will have a first-priority security interest in the equity interests of any such wholly-owned subsidiary that may be held by Standard Farms PA.

Future principal payments due and interest accrued as of March 31, 2025 were as follows:
