On January 28, 2024, TILT Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries Jimmy Jang, L.P. (“JJLP”), Baker Technologies, Inc. (“Baker”), Commonwealth Alternative Care, Inc. (“CAC”), Jimmy Jang Holdings, Inc.(“JJH”), JJ Blocker Co. (“JJB”), SFNY Holdings, Inc. (“SFNY”), Sea Hunter Therapeutics, LLC (“SEA”), Standard Farms Ohio LLC (“SF Ohio”), Standard Farms LLC (“SF Penn”), SH Finance Company, LLC (“SF Finance”), Jupiter Research, LLC (“Jupiter”, and collectively with the Company, JJLP, Baker, CAC, JJH, JJB, SFNY, SEA, SF Ohio, SF Penn, SF Finance, the “Guarantors”) and Shenzen Smoore Technology Limited (“Smoore”) and each of its affiliates that sells products to Jupiter and the Company (the “Buyers”) from time to time (collectively, the “Secured Party”) entered into: (i) a Debt and Security Agreement in favor of the Secured Party (the “Debt and Security Agreement”); (ii) a Guaranty in favor of the Secured Party (the “Guaranty”); (iii) a Side Letter (the “Side Letter”); (iv) a Trademark Security Agreement in favor of the Secured Party; and (v) an Equity Pledge Agreement in favor of the Secured Party (collectively, the “Smoore Agreements”). Also on January 28, 2024, Entrepreneur Growth Capital LLC, Jordan Geotas, the Secured Party, and Jupiter entered into a Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement (the “Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement”).

The Guarantors entered into the Smoore Agreements with the Secured Party, its principal supplier of vaping product inventory (the “Inventory”) to Jupiter, to provide for the payment of currently existing accounts payable by the Guarantors to the Secured Party (the “Accounts”), reduction in the outstanding balance of Accounts from time to time in the future, and the continued shipping of Inventory to Jupiter by the Secured Party.

Under the Side Letter between the Secured Party and the Guarantors, the Guarantors agree to reduce the outstanding balance of all Accounts to $31,000 as of April 30, 2024, $29,000, as of June 30, 2024; $27,000, as of September 30, 2024; and $25,000, as of December 31, 2024 (the “Reduction Plan”). The outstanding balance of Accounts that are unpaid more than 90 days after the invoice date plus, without duplication, the aggregate dollar amount of all Accounts, regardless of the date of the related invoice, in excess of $25,000 will incur interest at the rate of 8% per annum.

The Guarantors will have 120 days from the invoice date to pay each outstanding Account, however, the Guarantors will have a “Transition Period” though April 15, 2024 to pay any Accounts that are outstanding more than 150 days after the invoice date and through June 23, 2024 to pay any Accounts that are outstanding more than 120 days after the invoice date, provided certain conditions are satisfied, including compliance with the Reduction Plan, no default or event of default having occurred under the Smoore Agreements, and no event of default having been declared by the Guarantors’ existing secured creditors. If the Guarantors fail to make timely payments on the Accounts, including under the Reduction Plan, interest will accrue on all outstanding Accounts, regardless of aggregate size or date of invoice, at the rate of 8% per annum.

Under the Side Letter, the Secured Party agrees to promptly ship ordered Inventory to Jupiter so long as the Guaranty described below remains in full force and effect, no event of default has occurred under the Smoore Agreements, and the Guarantors have performed, and the outstanding balance of all Accounts does not exceed the amounts permitted, under the Reduction Plan.

In addition to the Side Letter, the Smoore Agreements include a Guaranty by the Guarantors (other than Jupiter) for the benefit of the Secured Party, pursuant to which, those Guarantors guarantee the payment and performance of Jupiter’s and the Company’s obligations to the Secured Party with respect to the Accounts. The Guarantors have also entered into a Debt and Security Agreement and related collateral security documents with or for the benefit of the Secured Party, under which the Guarantors’ performance under the Guaranty and Jupiter’s obligations with respect to the Accounts are secured by security interests in all of the assets of the Guarantors, including a pledge of all equity interests in all direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company. Pursuant to the Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, certain of the Guarantors’ existing secured creditors have agreed that, other than the security interest in certain assets that were pledged by Jupiter to secure a revolving credit facility, existing security interests in favor of those existing creditors are subordinated to the security interests created under the Smoore Agreements.
