Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by cbdMD, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), on September 2, 2026, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) dated September 1, 2026 by and among the Company, To Be Brands, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Acquisition Sub”), Twinlab Consolidated Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Twinlab”), the wholly owned direct and indirect subsidiaries of Twinlab set forth in the APA (the “Assignors”), Philip J. Von Kahle, in his capacity as the duly appointed assignee for the benefit of creditors of each of the Assignors under a General Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors dated August 21, 2026 (the “Assignee”), and Akretive Holdings, LLC, a New York limited liability company (the “Secured Creditor”). On October 30, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), following entry of an order by the Circuit Court of Broward County, Florida (the “ABC Court”) approving the sale as a private sale, the Company, through the Acquisition Sub, completed the acquisition of the Acquired Assets (as defined below) from the Assignee pursuant to the APA, free and clear of all encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances (as defined in the APA) (the “Acquisition”).
The assets and property acquired by the Company are the assets and property used in the Assignors’ business of marketing, distributing, and direct-to-consumer retailing of branded nutritional supplements and other natural products, primarily consisting of intellectual property, assigned contracts, permits, tangible personal property, inventory, accounts receivable, goodwill, and the stock or membership interests of certain Twinlab direct and indirect subsidiaries, including ISI Brands, Inc., Reserve Life Organics, LLC, Innovitamin Organics, LLC and Resvitale, LLC (the “Acquired Subsidiaries”), subject to certain exclusions set forth in the APA (the “Acquired Assets”). The consideration for the Acquired Assets consisted of: (a) the assumption by the Acquisition Sub of senior secured debt owed to the Secured Creditor, as described in Item 2.03 below (the “Assumed Debt”), with the balance of the Assignors’ obligations to the Secured Creditor forgiven; (b) the issuance to the Secured Creditor of 2,229,805 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, valued at $1.00 per share, which equaled 19.9% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of the execution date of the APA (the “Common Stock Consideration”); (c) the Additional Target Percentage Shares (as defined below); and (d) the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities (as defined in the APA). The Company will issue 132,730 additional shares of its common stock to the Secured Creditor to maintain the target percentage set forth in the APA (the “Additional Target Percentage Shares”), subject to approval of the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the NYSE American Company Guide, which the Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to seek within 270 days following the Closing Date. The Common Stock Consideration and the Additional Target Percentage Shares are subject to leak-out restrictions, and the Company has agreed to file a registration statement registering the resale of the Common Stock Consideration and the Additional Target Percentage Shares within nine months following the Closing Date, in each case as set forth in the APA.
In connection with the closing of the Acquisition, the parties entered into certain ancillary agreements, including: (i) a Bill of Sale; (ii) an Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement; (iii) an Assignment and Assumption Agreement; (iv) a Transition Services Agreement pursuant to which Twinlab and the Assignors agreed to provide certain information technology, accounting, human resources and other back-office services to maintain the operation of the business following the closing, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.4 hereto; and (v) the Note and the Security Agreement (each as defined in Item 2.03 below). In addition, the Company agreed to offer service agreements to certain employees of Twinlab and the Assignors who desire to continue to provide services to the Company following the closing.
The foregoing description of the APA and the Acquisition does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the APA, which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on September 2, 2026 and is incorporated herein by reference.
