At the annual general and special meeting (the "Meeting") of shareholders of the Company held on June 23, 2023, the shareholders passed a special resolution to extend the "sunset" date for the Company's multiple voting shares (the "Multiple Voting Shares") from June 29, 2024 until June 29, 2027.
Item 5. | Full Description of Material Change |
5.1 | Full Description of Material Change |
On June 29, 2021, the Company (then known as Mercer Park Brand Acquisition Corp.) and GH Group, Inc. completed a qualifying transaction under the rules of NEO Exchange Inc. (the "Business Combination") that resulted in (a) the reverse take-over of the Company by the securityholders of GH Group, Inc., (b) the Company changing its name to "Glass House Brands Inc." and (c) the Company reorganizing its capital structure by creating multiple classes of shares, including restricted voting shares, limited voting shares, subordinate voting shares and Multiple Voting Shares. The Multiple Voting Shares were issued to the founders of the Company at the time of the Business Combination with the intention of giving the founders the opportunity to build the business of the Company while the applicable U.S. legal regime developed at a state and federal level.
Initially, the articles of the Company provided that the Multiple Voting Shares would automatically be redeemed on June 29, 2024, three years from the date of their initial issuance.
At the Meeting, shareholders of the Company approved, in accordance with applicable laws, an amendment to the articles of the Company such that the Multiple Voting Shares would automatically be redeemed on the sixth anniversary of the initial issuance of the Multiple Voting Shares, or June 29, 2027 (the "Amendment"). The Amendment did not otherwise affect the terms of the Multiple Voting Shares or the Company's other authorized capital.
Disclosure Required by MI 61-101
The Amendment may be a "related party transaction" under paragraph (h) of the definition of "related party transaction" in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") since the Amendment consists of amending the terms of the Multiple Voting Shares, which is a security of the Company a majority of which is beneficially owned or over which control is exercised, directly or indirectly, by the Founders (as defined below), each being a "related party" (as such term is defined in MI 61-101) of the Company. The following supplementary information is provided in accordance with Section 5.2 of MI 61-101.
a) | A description of the transaction and its material terms: |
At the Meeting, shareholders of the Company passed a special resolution to extend the "sunset" date for the Multiple Voting Shares from June 29, 2024 until June 29, 2027. The Multiple Voting shares are held by the founders of the Company and entitle the founders to 50 votes per Multiple Voting Share on matters brought before the shareholders of the Company. As of the record date for the Meeting, the Multiple Voting Shares represented approximately 80.5% of the voting rights attached to outstanding voting securities of the Company.
b) | The purpose and business reasons for the transaction: |
The Amendment will allow the founders of the Company to continue to pursue their vision for the Company as the applicable legal and regulatory regime evolves. For more information on the reasons for the Amendment, please see the Company's management information circular related to the Meeting, which was filed on SEDAR on May 24, 2023.
c) | The anticipated effect of the transaction on Glass House's business and affairs: |
The Amendment will allow the Company to preserve its existing share structure until June 29, 2027, by delaying the automatic redemption of the Multiple Voting Shares, and will not otherwise affect the terms of the Multiple Voting Shares or the Company's other authorized capital. See also See "The purpose and business reasons for the transaction" above.
d) | A description of: |
i. | The interest in the transaction of every interested party and of the related parties and associated entities of the interested parties: |
Each of Mr. Kyle Kazan, Mr. Graham Farrar, Ms. Jocelyn Rosenwald, Mr. Jamie Rosenwald and Mr. Kris Hulgreen (each, a "Founder") may be an " interested party" (within the meaning of MI 61-101) with respect to the Amendment. The Founders are the only holders of the Multiple Voting Shares.
ii. | The anticipated effect of the transaction on the percentage of securities of Glass House, or of an affiliated entity of Glass House, beneficially owned or controlled by each person referred to in subparagraph (i) for which there would be a material change in that percentage: |
Not applicable.
e) | A discussion of the review and approval process adopted by the board of directors and the special committee, if any, of Glass House for the transaction, including a discussion of any materially contrary view or abstention by a director and any material disagreement between the board and the special committee: |
Having undertaken a thorough review of, and carefully considered the Amendment, including consulting with legal counsel, the directors of the Company who do not beneficially own any Multiple Voting Shares (a) unanimously concluded that the Amendment is in the best interest of the Company, and (b) unanimously recommended that the board of directors approve the Amendment and recommend that the shareholders vote in favour of the Amendment at the Meeting.
f) | A summary in accordance with section 6.5 of MI 61-101, of the formal valuation, if any, obtained for the transaction, unless the formal valuation is included in its entirety in the material change report or will be included in its entirety in another disclosure document for the transaction: |
Not applicable.
g) | Disclosure, in accordance with section 6.8 of MI 61-101, of every prior valuation in respect of the issuer that relates to the subject matter of or is otherwise relevant to the transaction |
i. | That has been made in the 24 months before the date of the material change report: |
Not applicable.
ii. | The existence of which is known, after reasonable enquiry to Glass House or to any director or officer of Glass House: |
Not applicable.
h) | The general nature and material terms of any agreement entered into by Glass House, or a related party of Glass House, with an interested party or a joint actor with an interested party, in connection with the transaction: |

i) | Disclosure of the formal valuation and minority approval exemptions, if any, on which Glass House is relying under sections 5.5 and 5.7 of MI 61-101 respectively, and the facts supporting reliance on the exemptions: |
No exemptions were relied upon.
The Amendment is not subject to the formal valuation requirements of Section 5.4 of MI 61-101 as it is not a transaction described in paragraphs (a) through (g) of the definition of "related party transaction" in MI 61-101.
The Company obtained "minority approval" (as defined in MI 61-101) of the Amendment.
Section 5.2(2) of MI 61-101
