Metropolis Property Purchase

 

In July 2021, the Company purchased the land and building in which it operates its cannabis dispensary in Metropolis, IL.

In connection with this purchase, the Company entered into another mortgage agreement with DuQuoin State Bank in the amount of $2.7 million that matures in July 2041 and initially bears interest at a rate of 6.25% per annum, and adjusted each year based on a certain interest rate index plus a margin.
