Recapitalization Transaction Closing
On June 24, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), iAnthus Capital Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its previously announced recapitalization transaction (the “Recapitalization Transaction”) pursuant to the terms of that certain Restructuring Support Agreement (the “Restructuring Support Agreement”) dated July 10, 2020, as amended on June 15, 2021, by and among the Company, all of the holders (the “Secured Lenders”) of the 13% senior secured convertible debentures (the “Secured Debentures”) issued by iAnthus Capital Management, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“ICM”), and a majority of the holders (the “Consenting Unsecured Debentureholders”) of the Company’s 8% unsecured convertible debentures (the “Unsecured Debentures”). The Recapitalization Transaction closed pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated plan of arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) approved by the Supreme Court of British Columbia.
In connection with the closing of the Recapitalization Transaction, the Company issued an aggregate of 6,072,579,705 common shares to the Secured Lenders and all of the holders (the “Unsecured Lenders”) of the Unsecured Debentures. Specifically, the Company issued 3,036,289,852 common shares (the “Secured Lender Shares”), or 48.625% of the outstanding common shares of the Company, to the Secured Lenders and 3,036,289,853 common shares (the “Unsecured Debentureholder Shares” and together with Secured Lender Shares, the “Shares”), or 48.625% of the outstanding common shares of the Company, to the Unsecured Lenders. As a result of the consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction, as of June 24, 2022 there were 6,244,297,897 common shares of the Company issued and outstanding and existing holders of the Company’s common shares collectively held 171,718,192 common shares, or 2.75% of the outstanding common shares of the Company.
In connection with the consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction, (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Secured Debentures (including the interim financing secured notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $14.7 million originally due on July 13, 2025) together with interest accrued and fees thereon were forgiven in part and exchanged for (A) the Secured Lender Shares, (B) the June Secured Debentures (as defined below) in the aggregate principal amount of $99,736,842 and (C) the June Unsecured Debentures (as defined below) in the aggregate principal amount of $5 million and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of the Unsecured Debentures together with interest accrued and fees thereon were forgiven in part and exchanged for (A) the Unsecured Debentureholder Shares and (B) the June Unsecured Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $15 million. Furthermore, all existing options and warrants to purchase common shares of the Company, including certain debenture warrants and exchange warrants previously issued to the Secured Lenders, the warrants previously issued in connection with the Unsecured Debentures and all other Affected Equity (as defined in the Plan of Arrangement), were cancelled and extinguished for no consideration.
Secured Debenture Purchase Agreement
In connection with the closing of the Recapitalization Transaction, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Secured Debenture Purchase Agreement (the “Secured DPA”) dated as of June 24, 2022 with ICM, the other Credit Parties (as defined in the Secured DPA), Gotham Green Admin 1, LLC as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”), and the lenders party thereto pursuant to which ICM will issue the Secured Lenders 8% secured debentures (the “June Secured Debentures”) in the aggregate principal amount of $99,736,842 pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement.
The June Secured Debentures accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum (increasing to 11% upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the June Secured Debentures)), are due on June 24, 2027 and may be prepaid on a pro rata basis from and after the third anniversary of the Closing Date upon prior written notice to the Secured Lender without premium or penalty. Upon receipt of a Change of Control Notice (as defined in the June Secured Debentures), each Secured Lender may provide notice to ICM to either (i) purchase the June Secured Debenture at a price equal to 103% of the then outstanding principal amount together with interest accrued thereon (the “Offer Price”) or (ii) if the Change of Control Transaction (as defined in Secured DPA) results in a new issuer, or if the Secured Lender desires that the June Secured Debenture remain unpaid and continue in effect after the closing of the Change of Control Transaction, convert or exchange the June Secured Debenture into a replacement debenture of the new issuer or ICM, as applicable, in the aggregate principal amount of the Offer Price on substantially equivalent terms to those terms contained in the June Secured Debenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if 90% or more of the principal amount of all June Secured Debentures outstanding have been tendered for redemption on the date of the Change of Control Notice, ICM may, at its sole discretion, redeem all of the outstanding June Secured Debentures at the Offer Price. As security for the Obligations (as defined in the June Secured Debenture), ICM and the Company granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Lenders, a security interest over all of their present and after acquired personal property.
-2-
Pursuant to the Secured DPA, so long as Gotham Green Partners, LLC or any of its Affiliates (as defined in the Secured DPA) hold at least 50% of the outstanding principal amount of June Secured Debentures, the Collateral Agent will have the right to appoint two non-voting observers to the Company’s board of directors, each of which shall receive up to a maximum amount of $25,000 in any 12-month period for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.
In addition, pursuant to the Secured DPA, certain Secured Lenders and Consenting Debentureholders purchased an additional $25,000,000 of June Secured Debentures (the “Additional Secured Debentures”).
Unsecured Debenture Agreement
In connection with the closing of the Recapitalization Transaction, the Company, as guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Unsecured DPA (as defined herein)), entered into an Unsecured Debenture Agreement (the “Unsecured DPA”) dated as of June 24, 2022 with ICM, the Secured Lenders and the Consenting Unsecured Debentureholders pursuant to which ICM issued 8% unsecured debentures (the “June Unsecured Debentures”) in the aggregate principal amount of $20 million pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, including $5 million to the Secured Lenders and $15 million to the Unsecured Lenders.
The June Unsecured Debentures accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum (increasing to 11% upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the June Unsecured Debentures)), are due on June 24, 2027 and may be prepaid on a pro rata basis from and after the third anniversary of the Closing Date upon prior written notice to the Unsecured Lender without premium or penalty. Upon receipt of a Change of Control Notice (as defined in the June Unsecured Debenture), each Unsecured Lender may provide notice to ICM to either (i) purchase the June Unsecured Debenture at a price equal to 103% of the then outstanding principal amount together with interest accrued thereon (the “Unsecured Offer Price”) or (ii) if the Change of Control Transaction (as defined in Unsecured DPA) results in a new issuer, or if the Unsecured Lender desires that the June Unsecured Debenture remain unpaid and continue in effect after the closing of the Change of Control Transaction, convert or exchange the June Unsecured Debenture into a replacement debenture of the new issuer or ICM, as applicable, in the aggregate principal amount of the Unsecured Offer Price on substantially equivalent terms to those terms contained in the June Unsecured Debenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if 90% or more of the principal amount of all June Unsecured Debentures outstanding have been tendered for redemption on the date of the Change of Control Notice, ICM may, at its sole discretion, redeem all of the outstanding June Unsecured Debentures at the Unsecured Offer Price. Pursuant to the Unsecured DPA, the Obligations (as defined in the Unsecured DPA) are subordinated in right of payment to the Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Unsecured DPA).

Registration Rights Agreement
Furthermore, in connection with the consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “RRA”) dated June 24, 2022 with ICM and certain holders of Registrable Securities (as defined in the RRA) (the “Holders”) pursuant to which the Company shall, upon receipt of written notice (the “Shelf Request”) from Holders of at least 15% of the outstanding common shares of the Company (the “Substantial Holders”), prepare and file (i) with the applicable Canadian Securities Regulators (as defined in the RRA), a Shelf Prospectus (as defined in the RRA) to facilitate a secondary offering of all of the Registrable Securities or (ii) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “S-3 Registration Statement”) covering the resale of all Registrable Securities. Pursuant to the RRA, subject to certain exceptions, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file the Shelf Prospectus or the S-3 Registration Statement, as applicable, as soon as practicable but in no event later than 20 days following the receipt of the Shelf Request. In addition, pursuant to the RRA, the Substantial Holders may request (the “Demand Registration Request”) the Company to file a Prospectus (as defined in the RRA) (other than a Shelf Prospectus) or a registration statement on any form that the Company is then eligible to use (the “Registration Statement”) to facilitate a Distribution (as defined in the RRA) in Canada or the United States of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities (the “Demand Registration”) held by the Holders requesting the Demand Registration. Pursuant to the RRA, subject to certain exceptions, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file one or more Prospectuses or Registration Statements within 20 days following delivery of a Demand Registration Request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to effect more than two Demand Registrations in any fiscal year. Moreover, pursuant to the RRA and subject to certain exceptions, if, at any time, the Company proposes to make a Distribution for its own account, the Company shall notify the Holders of such Distribution (the “Piggyback Registration”) and shall use reasonable commercial efforts to include in the Piggyback Registration such Registrable Securities requested by the Holders be included in such Piggyback Registration. Furthermore, pursuant to the RRA and subject to certain exceptions, after the receipt by the Company of a Demand Registration Request, the Company shall not, among other things, without the prior written consent of Holders of least 66 2/3% of the then issued common shares held by all Holders (the “Requisite Holders”) authorize, issue or sell any common shares or Equity Securities (as defined in the RRA) until the date which is 90 days after the later of (i) the date on which a receipt is issued for the Prospectus or Registration Statement filed in connection with such Demand Registration and (ii) the completion of the offering contemplated by the Demand Registration, provided that in respect of any subsequent Demand Registration Request in any fiscal year of the Company, such date shall be reduced to the date which is 30 days after the later of (i) and (ii) above. Moreover, pursuant to the RRA and subject to certain exceptions, the Company shall not grant registration rights to any other Person (as defined in the RRA) without the prior written consent of the Requisite Holders. Pursuant to the RRA, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause a Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as promptly as possible but in no event later than the date which is 30 days (or 90 days if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) after the initial filing of such Registration Statement.
Investor Rights Agreement
In connection with the closing of the Recapitalization Transaction, the Company also entered into an Investor Rights Agreement (“IRA”) dated June 24, 2022 with ICM and certain investors (the “Investors”). Pursuant to the IRA, the Investors are entitled to designate nominees for election or appointment to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) as set forth herein.

Furthermore, pursuant to the IRA, the Company shall hire a Chief Executive Officer who has been unanimously approved by the Investors in writing, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, and shall arrange for such Chief Executive Officer to be appointed to the Company’s Board as Chair of the Board. Unless Investors who together hold at least 80% of all of the common shares issued to the Investors pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement (the “Debt Exchange Common Shares”) and held by all Investors at the time such determination is made agree in writing, the number of directors constituting the full Board shall not exceed seven (which seven directors shall initially be comprised of the New Directors and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer once appointed).
Pursuant to the IRA, the audit committee of the Board shall be comprised of one nominee designated by each of the First Investor, the nominee of the Second Investor and the nominee of the Third Investor, the nomination committee of the Board shall be comprised of such directors as the Board may determine and the compensation committee of the Board shall be comprised of the nominee designated by the Second Investor together with such other directors as the Board may determine.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, such voting restriction shall not apply in respect of a vote in favor of a Change of Control Transaction. Such voting restriction shall cease to apply on the earlier of (i) the date that the Debt Exchange Common Share Percentage of each of the Second Investor, the Third Investor and the Fourth Investor is less than 5%; and (ii) June 24, 2025. Moreover, until June 24, 2025, unless Supermajority Board Approval is obtained, the First Investor shall not, directly or indirectly, acquire common shares of the Company that will cause the First Investor’s Common Share Percentage (as defined in the IRA) to exceed the percentage calculated as follows: (i) 49.9%, minus (ii) the percentage resulting from the number of Non-Participating Secured Lender Shares divided by the total number of the Company’s common shares issued and outstanding at the time such determination is made.
-5-
Pursuant to the IRA, each of the Investors will cease to be an “Investor” on the earlier of (i) the date on which such Investor’s Debt Exchange Common Share Percentage is less than 5%; and (ii) the Investor materially breaches the IRA and such breach is not cured within 20 Business Days (as defined in the IRA) after receipt by the Investor of written notice thereof from the Company or any other Investor. In addition, the IRA may be terminated by written agreement of Investors who together hold at least 80% of all of the Debt Exchange Common Shares held by all Investors, at the time such determination is made the Company and ICM. The IRA shall automatically terminate when there are no longer any Investors as a result of Investors’ Debt Exchange Common Share Percentage being less than 5% or Investors materially breaching the IRA and such breach is not cured within 20 Business Days after notice thereof.
