Form of Certificate of Designations
The undersigned, the Executive Chairman of Hightimes Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), does hereby certify that, pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the following resolution creating a series of preferred stock to be designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, was duly adopted on April 24, 2020.
RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority expressly granted to and vested in the Board of Directors of the Corporation by provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), there hereby is created out of the 10,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), of the Corporation, as authorized in Article FIFTH of the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, a series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation, to be designated “Series A Preferred Stock,” consisting of six hundred and seventy five thousand (675,000) shares of Hightimes’ 16% Series A voting convertible preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which Series A Preferred Stock shall have the following designations, powers, preferences and relative and other special rights and the following qualifications, limitations and restrictions:
TERMS OF SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
1. Designation and Number.
(a) A series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation, designated as voting, convertible Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), is hereby established. The number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall initially be six hundred and seventy five thousand (675,000) shares.
(b) The stated value of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per share (“Stated Value”).
(c) The Series A Preferred Stock is being issued to Harvest Health & Resources, Inc. (“Harvest”) pursuant to the terms of an equity purchase agreement among the Corporation, Harvest and the “Seller” signatories thereto (the “Purchase Agreement”).
(d) As used in this Certificate, the term “Holder” shall mean Harvest or one or more other holder(s) of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that is a subsidiary of Harvest.
2. Rank. All shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall rank:
(a) senior to (i) the Corporation’s Class A voting Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Corporation (the “Class A Common Stock”) or non-voting Class B common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Corporation (the “Class B Common Stock” and together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”); and (ii) except as set forth in Section 2(b) below, any other class of Preferred Stock which shall be specifically designated as junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, (collectively, with the Common Stock and Preferred Stock, the “Junior Securities”), in each case as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary;
21 |
(b) pari passu and on parity with any other class or series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation hereafter created specifically ranking, by its terms, on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Pari Passu Securities”), it being understood that (i) the issuance of any Pari Passu Securities shall be subject to the prior approval and consent of Harvest, and (b) the Series A Preferred Stock shall be pari passu with and on parity to all classes or series of convertible Preferred Stock hereafter issued by the Corporation with the consent of Harvest; and
(c) junior to any class or series of secured debt securities or indebtedness of the Corporation hereafter created specifically ranking, by its terms, senior to the Series A Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Senior Securities”), in each case as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary.
3. Dividends. Commencing September 30, 2020, the Series A Preferred Stock shall pay a quarterly dividend at the rate of 16% per annum (the “Stated Dividend”). The Stated Dividend shall accrue and shall be added to the face amount of the Series A Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. In addition, the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends when, as, and if declared by the Board, in an amount which shall be paid on any Common Stock, and the Series A Preferred Stock, on an equal priority, pari passu basis, according to the number of shares of Common Stock held by the stockholders, where each Holder of Series A Preferred Stock is to be treated for this purpose as holding (in lieu of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock) the greatest whole number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion in full of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The right to dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be cumulative, and no right shall accrue to Holders of Series A Preferred Stock by reason of the fact that dividends on said shares are not declared in any period, nor shall any undeclared or unpaid dividend bear or accrue interest.
4. Liquidation Preference. In the event of a merger, sale (of substantially all assets or stock), any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then, either (i) after any distribution or payment on Senior Securities, (ii) simultaneous and on a pro-rata basis with any distribution or payment on Pari Passu Securities, and (iii) before any distribution or payment shall be made to the Holders of the Common Stock or any other Junior Securities, each Holder of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid, out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount (the “Liquidation Preference”) equal to aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding multiplied by one hundred dollars ($100.00). If the assets of the Corporation are not sufficient to generate cash sufficient to pay in full the Liquidation Preference, then the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall share ratably (together with Holders of any Pari Passu Securities) in any distribution of cash generated by such assets in accordance with the respective amounts that would have been payable in such distribution as if the amounts to which the Holders of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled were paid in full.
5. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together with the Class A Common Stock and not as a separate class on an “as converted” basis. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the number of votes equal to the result of dividing $67,500,000 by $1.00 per share, after giving effect to the 11-for-one forward stock split of outstanding Class A Common Stock which has been duly approved by the Corporation (the “Approved Stock Split”) and is to be consummated promptly following the completion of the pending Regulation A+ initial public offering of up to $50,000,000 of the Corporation’s Class A Common Stock at $11.00 per share, or an aggregate of 67,500,000 votes (as such number of votes may be adjusted by reason of any forward or reverse stock splits or recapitalization of the Corporation’s outstanding Class A Common Stock, other than the Approved Stock Split). Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no right to vote as a separate class on any matter submitted to vote by the stockholders of the Corporation, excluding, however, any proposed amendment that would adversely alter or change any preference or any relative or other right given to the Series A Preferred Stock; in which event the Series A Preferred Stock may vote as a separate class with respect to such amendment. The Holders of each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation and shall vote with Holders of the Class A Common Stock upon the election of directors and upon any other matter submitted to a vote of stockholders. Fractional votes by the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights resulting from the above formula (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by each Holder could be converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half being rounded upward).
22 |
6. Conversion.
(a) Optional Conversion. Harvest Health or any permitted Holder may convert all or any portion of the Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Hightimes Class A Common Stock, as traded on the OTCQX Market or other securities exchange, at a conversion price per share of USD$11.00, subject to adjustment in the event of any forward or reverse stock split of the Class A Common Stock; provided, that in no event shall the number of shares of Hightimes Class A Common Stock issuable upon full conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Shares”), exceed 19% of the issued and outstanding shares of Hightimes Class A Common Stock, after giving effect to such optional conversion.
(iv) Mandatory Conversion. To the extent not previously converted into Conversion Shares, the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to automatic conversion into Class A Common Stock on the earlier to occur of (a) two (2) years from the Closing Date under the Purchase Agreement, or (b) if the market capitalization of the Class A Common Stock, based on the volume weighted average closing prices for any ten (10) consecutive trading days, shall equal or exceed USD$300,000,000. In either event, the per share conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be the volume weighted average closing price for any ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of automatic conversion (the “Mandatory Conversion Price”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the aggregate number of Conversion Shares exceed 19% of the issued and outstanding shares of Hightimes Class A Common Stock, after giving effect to any prior optional conversion or a mandatory conversion.
7. Notice of Conversion. Upon a Conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall: (i) fax (or otherwise deliver) a copy of the fully executed notice of Conversion to the Corporation (Attention: Corporation), no later than ten (10) days prior to the record date of such Conversion (the “Notice of Conversion”) and (ii) the Holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall surrender or cause to be surrendered only those original certificates of Series A Preferred Stock that shall be converted into Conversion Shares (the “Series A Preferred Stock Certificates”), duly endorsed. Upon receipt by the Corporation of the Holder’s original certificates representing the Series A Preferred Stock subject to Conversion and the Notice of Conversion, the Corporation shall promptly send, via facsimile, a confirmation to such Holder stating that the Series A Preferred Stock Certificates has been received and the date upon which the Corporation expects to deliver the Conversion Shares issuable upon such Conversion and the name and telephone number of a contact person at the Corporation regarding the Conversion Shares.
8. Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange, and Substitution. If at any time or from time to time after the date upon which the first share of Series A Preferred Stock was issued by the Corporation (the “Original Issuance Date”), the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by forward or reverse split(s) of the outstanding Class A Common Stock, recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization, merger, exchange, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise, then, in any such event, each Holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such stock into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such stock split(s), recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization, merger, exchange, consolidation, sale of assets or other change by a Holder of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization, merger, exchange, consolidation, sale of assets or other change, or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof.
23 |
9. Reservation of Class A Common Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation.
10. Fractional Shares. No fractional share shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of Series A Preferred Stock. All shares of Class A Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of Series A Preferred Stock by a Holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share.
11. No Reissuance of Series A Preferred Stock. No share or shares of Series A Preferred Stock acquired by the Corporation by reason of redemption, purchase, conversion or otherwise shall be reissued, and all such shares shall be canceled, retired and eliminated from the shares which the Corporation shall be authorized to issue.
12. Redemption. The Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable.
13. Amendment. This Certificate of Designation or any provision hereof may be amended by obtaining the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose, or written consent without a meeting in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law, of (i) a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, voting separate as a single class, and (ii) with such other stockholder approval, if any, as may then be required pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Certificate of Incorporation.
14. Protective Provisions. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, take any of the following corporate actions (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent) of the Holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Majority Holders”):
(a) alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock, or increase the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock; or
(b) issue any additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no change pursuant to this Section 14 shall be effective to the extent that, by its terms, it applies to less than all of the Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding.
24 |
15. Cancellation of Series A Preferred Stock. If any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are converted pursuant to this Certificate of Designations, the shares so converted or redeemed shall be canceled, shall return to the status of authorized, but unissued Preferred Stock of no designated series, and shall not be issuable by the Corporation as Series A Preferred Stock.
16. Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Corporation of (i) evidence of the lost, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Series A Preferred Stock Certificate(s) and (ii) (y) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, indemnity (without any bond or other security) reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, or (z) in the case of mutilation, the Series A Preferred Stock Certificate(s) (surrendered for cancellation), the Corporation shall execute and deliver new Series A Preferred Stock Certificate(s) of like tenor and date. However, the Corporation shall not be obligated to reissue such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Series A Preferred Stock Certificate(s) if the Holder contemporaneously requests the Corporation to convert such Series A Preferred Stock.
17. Waiver. Notwithstanding any provision in these Certificate of Designations to the contrary, any provision contained herein and any right of the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock granted hereunder may be waived as to all shares of Series A Preferred Stock (and the Holders thereof) upon the written consent of the Series A Majority Holders, unless a higher percentage is required by applicable law, in which case the written consent of the Holders of not less than such higher percentage of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be required.
18. Certain Definitions. As used in this Certificate, the term “Subsidiary” shall mean, as it applies to Harvest, any one or more Persons, a majority of the capital stock or other equity interests of which are owned directly or indirectly (through another Subsidiary) by Harvest. The term “Person” shall mean any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, limited partnership, trust or other entity.
19. Notices. Any notices required or permitted to be given under the terms hereof shall be sent by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested) or delivered personally, by nationally recognized overnight carries or by confirmed facsimile transmission, and shall be effective five days after being placed in the mail, if mailed, or upon receipt or refusal of receipt, if delivered personally or by nationally recognized overnight carrier or confirmed facsimile transmission, in each case addressed to a party.
