Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On March 29, 2016, General Cannabis Corp. (the “Company”) and the Infinity Capital West, LLC, (“Infinity”) a Colorado limited liability company (collectively the “Parties”), entered into an amendment agreement (the “Amendment”), which amended the terms of an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”), dated as of November 4, 2015 by and between the Parties and GC Finance Arizona LLC (“GC”). Both Infinity and GC (as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Infinity) are controlled by Michael Feinsod, the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors. As previously disclosed on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 9, 2015, pursuant to the Option Agreement, GC and Infinity granted the Company a six month option to purchase all of GC’s interest in DB Products Arizona, LLC (“DB”) at GC’s actual cost, plus $1.00.

DB is a Delaware LLC whose equity interests are currently 50% owned by GC Finance and 50% owned by Bloom Master Fund I, LLC. GC has agreed to grant Dixie Brands, Inc. an option (the “Dixie Option”) to purchase 50% of its equity interest in DB (representing a 25% equity interest in DB). Accordingly, the Company’s option from GC Finance is subject to the Dixie Option. DB is involved in the production and distribution of Dixie Brands, Inc.’s full line of medical cannabis Dixie Elixirs and Edible products in Arizona. Infinity owns approximately 1% of the capital stock of Dixie Brands, Inc.

Pursuant to the Amendment, Infinity agreed to grant the Company an extension of the option exercise term originally granted in the Option Agreement to September 30, 2015 in consideration for the grant of a warrant to Infinity to purchase One Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares of the common stock of the Company (the “Warrant”). The Warrant has a term of 5 years and an exercise price of $0.67 per share, which was the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on March 28, 2016.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

On April 1, 2016, the Board  approved the issuance of options to purchase 216,650 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) with an exercise price of $0.61 per share pursuant to the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Options”), to various employees in recognition of services provided to the Company.
