ITEM 8.01 Other Events

 

On December 10, 2021, the Colorado Securities Commission (the “Commission”) filed a Complaint in the District Court for the City and County of Denver against Two Rivers Water & Farming Company, TR Capital, Partners, LLC, GrowCo, Inc., VitaNova Partners, LLC, John McKowen, along with other entities and individuals (together the “Defendants”).

 

Mr. McKowen believes that many allegations in the Complaint filed by the Commission are very similar to the allegations in a class-action lawsuit filed by John Paulson in the U.S. Colorado District Court against Two Rivers Water & Farming Company, John R. McKowen et. al.

 

The Commission Complaint alleges that there was a misuse of a large portion of $19,000,000 in capital raised by GrowCo, Inc; that the Defendants named in the Complaint sold securities which were not registered or exempt from registration, under the Colorado Securities Act; and that the Defendants made untrue written and oral statements of material fact and/or omitted material facts to persons who purchased securities from the Defendants named in the Complaint.

 

Mr. McKowen and the entities affiliated with the Company were served with a copy of the Complaint on December 13, 2021, and are in the process of hiring SEC litigation counsel and reviewing the Complaint. Mr. McKowen believes the allegations by the Commission of misuse of a large portion of the $19,000,000 raised by GrowCo Inc. are true and occurred after May 25, 2016, when Mr. McKowen resigned from the board of Two Rivers Water & Farming Company, GrowCo, Inc and each of their subsidiaries.

 

Mr. McKowen believes the other allegations in the Complaint are unfounded. Mr. McKowen, GrowCo, Inc. and VitaNova Partners, LLC will collectively and vigorously defend themselves in those matters.
