Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
 
As previously reported, on December 20, 2018 (the “Closing Date”) cbdMD, Inc. closed that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated December 3, 2018 by and among our company, our subsidiaries and Cure Based Development, LLC (“Cure Based Development”). On the Closing Date the members of Cure Based Development and CBD Holding LLC (“CBDH”) received contractual rights for an aggregate of 15,250,000 shares of our common stock as partial merger consideration. The issuance of those shares was subject to shareholder approval as required under the rules of the NYSE American LLC. These initial shares included 8,750,000 shares of our common stock (“Second Tranche Shares”) to be issued to CBDH, an entity controlled by R. Scott Coffman who was then the CEO of Cure Based Development. Following approval of the issuance of these initial shares at our 2019 annual shareholder meeting, the aggregate of 15,250,000 shares were issued in April 2019.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, CBDH was also entitled to receive (the “Earnout Rights”) up to 15,250,000 additional shares of our common stock (the “Earnout Shares”) as part of the merger consideration upon the satisfaction of certain aggregate net revenue criteria within 60 months following the Closing Date, as measured at four intervals from the Closing Date of 12 calendar months (the “First Marking Period”), 24 calendar months, 42 calendar months, and 59 calendar months. The possible issuance of the Earnout Shares was also approved by our shareholders at our 2019 annual shareholder meeting.
 
Following the completion of the First Marking Period, and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, we determined that the net revenues for the First Marking Period were $33,799,787. Accordingly, CBDH was entitled to receive 5,127,792 shares of our common stock representing the First Marking Period Earnout Shares. On February 27, 2020 we issued the First Marking Period Earnout Shares to the members of CBDH pursuant to the terms of the Distribution Agreement described later in this report. The recipients were accredited investors and the issuances were exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on an exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of that act.
 
Item 8.01 Other Events.
 
On February 26, 2020 in connection with the dissolution and liquidation of CBDH, we entered into a Distribution Agreement with CBDH and its members (the “Distribution Agreement”) pursuant to which CBDH distributed (i) the Second Tranche Shares which had been issued previously, (ii) the First Marking Period Earnout Shares, and (iii) the remaining Earnout Rights to an aggregate of 10,122,208 Earnout Shares to its members. Mr. Coffman, who is now a member of our board of directors and co-Chief Executive Officer, Martin A. Sumichrast, Chairman of our board of directors and co-Chief Executive Officer, and Caryn Dunayer, our president, through entities controlled by them, are members of CBDH.
 
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Second Tranche Shares were subject to a Voting Proxy Agreement pending the vesting of unrestricted voting rights, as well as a Leak Out Agreement. Under the terms of the Distribution Agreement, the CBDH members entered into similar Voting Proxy Agreements and Leak Out Agreements.
 
The foregoing terms and conditions of the Distribution Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the agreement, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report.
