Vireo Growth Inc.
- Amendments adjust earnout calculation (greater of $37.5M or 5x revenue minus $4M) and soften forfeiture triggers.
- Majority shareholders (51.5% voting power) approve mergers, share issuance at $0.52, and RSU grants to CEO/CFO.
- Proper merger forfeiture now triggered solely by EBITDA shortfall of $31M; market share/EBITDA margin conditions removed.
- CEO Mazarakis granted 19M time-based and 19M performance-based RSUs; CFO Macdonald receives 9.5M each.
- Deep Roots and Wholesome amendments clarify no additional shares from surviving companies, except for conversion.
