Item 5 - Full Description of Material Change
5.1 - Full Description of Material Change
Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the shareholders of Trichome will receive 0.981 common shares of the Company for each common share of Trichome. The acquisition of Trichome is expected to create a global cannabis production with operations in Israel and Germany's medical cannabis markets under the IMC brand, and in Canada's adult-use recreational market through Trichome's wholly-owned subsidiary, Trichome JWC Acquisition Corp. d/b/a JWC.
The Transaction will require the approval of: (i) two-thirds of the votes cast by shareholders of Trichome; and (ii) 50%+1 of the Trichome shareholders, excluding shares held by Marc Lustig and Michael Ruscetta in accordance with Multilateral Instrument 61-101, in each case at special meetings expected to take place in Q1 2021. Each of Trichome's directors and officers as well as shareholders Cresco Labs Inc. (CSE:CL) and Opaskawayak Cree Nation, who collectively hold approximately 34% of the outstanding common shares of Trichome, have entered into voting and support agreements to vote their shares in favour of the Transaction and lock-up agreements restricting the resale of IMC common shares to be owned by such persons upon closing of the Transaction to a staggered 1/6 release per month of such shares for a period of 6 months. Certain Trichome convertible debenture holders representing approximately 75% of the outstanding principal amount of such Trichome convertible debentures have also entered into voting and support agreements in favour of the Transaction. Subsequent to the date of the Arrangement Agreement, Trichome accelerated conversion of the convertible debentures by press release dated January 5, 2021 and the parties intend to enter into an amendment to the Arrangement Agreement to reflect the conversion of the debentures and the fact that no debentureholder meeting will be required. The shares issued on conversion of the debentures represent approximately 3% of the issued and outstanding shares of Trichome and the shares issued to the debentureholders who signed voting and support agreements remain subject to those agreements.
