SECTION 7 – REGULATION FD

 

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On January 30, 2025, Body and Mind Inc. (the “Company” or “BaM”) issued a news release to announce that it has entered into definitive agreements for the sale of its Illinois assets, NMG IL 1, LLC (“NMG IL 1”) and NMG IL 4, LLC (“NMG IL 4”) to Rubino Ventures IL, LLC d/b/a/ Dutchess Cannabis, an Illinois cannabis company which currently operates two open dispensaries. The membership interest purchase agreements (the “MIPAs”), which are described in more detail below and are subject to Illinois regulatory approval, will be for total cash consideration of US$5 million, half to be paid upon effectiveness of the respective managed services agreements (the “MSAs”) to be entered into with each of NMG IL 1 and NMG IL 4, and half to be paid upon closing, as well as the potential for additional cash earnout based on trailing twelve month EBITDA calculated as of the end of the fifteenth month period after the effectiveness of the respective MSAs.

 

“The cannabis industry is going through a challenging time, and growth capital for smaller companies such as BaM has become both hard to find and prohibitively expensive. In this environment, we determined that “going it alone” in Illinois would likely create less value than selling our Illinois assets to an established operator in the market. We believe the sale to Dutchess Cannabis allows the Company to obtain near term cash to better its balance sheet and provide capital for its New Jersey dispensary construction, as well as also benefiting from Dutchess Cannabis’ local infrastructure and future success through the earnout,” stated Michael Mills, CEO of BaM.

 

“Dutchess Cannabis is excited to bring high quality and affordable cannabis to the City of Markham and Village of Lynwood. We are eager to become great partners and good neighbors to both communities,” stated Meg Rubino, CEO of Dutchess Cannabis.

 

Overall Transaction Summary

 

Subject in all cases to Illinois regulatory approval and other standard closing conditions (i) the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, DEP Nevada, Inc. (“DEP”) is divesting its wholly owned subsidiary NMG IL 4, (ii) Big Stone Illinois, LLC is assigning its rights, obligations and interests as seller in the NMG IL 1 MIPA to DEP effective upon Illinois regulatory approval, and (iii) each of NMG IL 4 and NMG IL 1 entering into MSAs with Rubino Ventures IL, LLC (“Rubino”). Each MSA needs to be approved by the Illinois cannabis regulator before becoming effective. The Company will also submit change of ownership applications to the Illinois regulator, which regulatory approval is a condition of each MIPA.
