Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


On September 21, 2016, General Cannabis Corp. (the “Company”) and several non-affiliated accredited investors (each a “Purchaser”, collectively “Purchasers”) entered into the promissory note and warrant purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and the security agreement (the “Security Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to each Purchaser a 12% senior secured promissory note (the “Notes”) and the accompanying warrants (the “Warrants”), including a series A warrant (the “Series A Warrant”) and a series B warrant (the “Series B Warrant”).  The Notes are senior in terms of priority on liquidation to all other existing debt obligations of the Company (the “Remaining Debt”).  The Company sold an aggregate amount of $3,000,000 in Notes and issued an aggregate of 4,500,000 Series A Warrants and 4,500,000 Series B Warrants.  


Each Series A Warrant is exercisable at a price of $0.35 per share for a period of three years. Each Series B Warrant is exercisable on substantially the same terms of the Series A Warrant except that they are exercisable at a price of $0.70 per share.  


The Company took in $ 2,450,000 of new funds and certain existing holders of approximately $550,000 of Company’s outstanding indebtedness rolled over their obligations into the Notes and Warrants.  The proceeds will be utilized to repay certain of the Company’s indebtedness and for working capital including potential acquisitions. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers have the right to appoint a member to the Company’s Board of Directors.


The foregoing description of the Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, the Form of Promissory Note and the Form of Security Agreement, which are filed as Exhibit 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
