Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Acquisition of ROSE LifeScience

On November 15, 2021, Village Farms International, Inc. (“Village Farms” or the “Company”) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among Village Farms, ROSE LifeScience Inc. (“ROSE”) and the other parties thereto, including the shareholders of ROSE (collectively, the “Sellers”), which provided for the acquisition of a 70% interest in ROSE pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement (the “Acquisition”), at a total purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) valued at C$46.7 million, comprised of a cash purchase price of C$19.9 million and a total of 2,411,280 common shares of Village Farms (“Village Farms Shares”), subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The Acquisition closed concurrently with the signing of the Purchase Agreement and accordingly, was completed on November 15, 2021 (the “Closing Date”). The Village Farms Shares issued under the Purchase Agreement are subject to lock-up agreements, and subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, 33% of these shares will be released from lock-up restrictions four (4) months following the Closing Date, another 33% of these shares will be released from lock-up restrictions eight (8) months after the Closing Date and the remaining shares will be released from lock-up restrictions one (1) year after the Closing Date.

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to file a prospectus supplement under our existing shelf registration statement, on or before the date that is four (4) months following the Closing Date, to register for resale all of the Village Farms Shares issued to the Sellers on the Closing Date.

Put/Call Option

The co-founder and President and Chief Executive Officer of ROSE, Davide Zaffino, and co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of ROSE, Brian D. Stevenson (the “Management Shareholders”), who were among the sellers of ROSE in the Acquisition, will remain in their current roles with ROSE post-Acquisition and have retained a non-voting 30% interest in ROSE (the “Retained Interest”). In conjunction with the Acquisition, Village Farms and the Management Shareholders have entered into a unanimous shareholders agreement (the “USA”) providing Village Farms with a call option to acquire the Retained Interest between December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 or upon the occurrence of certain liquidity events with respect to Village Farms (the “Call Option”). As part of the Call Option, Village Farms can also acquire 34% of the Retained Interest between December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023. A put right has also been granted to the Management Shareholders to require Village Farms to complete the acquisition of the Retained Interest upon their death or disability or the occurrence of certain liquidity events with respect to Village Farms (the “Put Option”, and together with the Call Option, the “Put/Call Option”). The price for the Put/Call Option was set at a multiple solely based on ROSE’s adjusted EBITDA performance of the applicable prior calendar year. If exercised upon a liquidity event, the Option Price is subject to a minimum amount which varies depending on the year on which it is exercised.

The consideration for the acquisition of the Retained Interest may, at Village Farms’ sole discretion, be payable solely in cash or in a pre-determined combination of cash and Village Farms Shares based on a formula similar to that used for the issuance of the Village Farms Shares comprising part of the Purchase Price.

The USA provides that the total number of Village Farms Shares issuable in connection with the Acquisition, including, for greater certainty, in respect of the Purchase Price and the Put/Call Option, shall not exceed, in the aggregate, 20% of the issued and outstanding Village Farms Shares as of the Closing Date (prior to completion of the Acquisition). All of the Village Farms Shares issued in connection with the Acquisition, together with any Village Farms Shares issuable pursuant to the Put/Call Option, have been and will be issued to the Sellers in reliance on Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The failure to notify, or delay in notifying, the Indemnitor Representative, shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any duty to indemnify and hold harmless that otherwise might exist with respect to such cause unless (and only to that extent) the failure to notify or delay in notifying materially prejudices the ability of the Indemnifying Party to exercise its right to defend provided in this Article 6.

 

- 80 -


  (b)

Upon receipt of an Indemnification Notice by an Indemnifying Party, the provisions of Sections 6.8 and 6.10 will apply to any Direct Claim, and the provisions of Sections 6.9 and 6.10 will apply to any Third Party Claim.

 

6.8

Indemnification Procedure — Direct Claims

 

  (a)

Following receipt of an Indemnification Notice pursuant to Section 6.7(a) relating to a Direct Claim, the Indemnitor Representative has 60 days to investigate the Direct Claim and respond in writing. For purposes of the investigation, the Indemnified Person shall make available to the Indemnitor Representative the information relied upon by the Indemnified Person to substantiate the Direct Claim, together with such other information as the Indemnitor Representative may reasonably request.

 

  (b)

If the Indemnitor Representative disputes the validity or amount of the Direct Claim, the Indemnitor Representative shall (i) pay the portion (if any) of the Damages claimed to which it does not object in accordance with Section 6.10, and (ii) provide written notice of the dispute to the Indemnitee Representative within the 60-day period specified in Section 6.8(a). The notice must describe in reasonable detail the nature of the Indemnitor Representative’s dispute. During the 20-day period immediately following receipt of a notice by the Indemnitor Representative, the Indemnitor Representative and the Indemnitee Representative shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute. If the Indemnitor Representative fails to respond in writing to the Direct Claim within the 60-day period specified in Section 6.8(a) or indicates in writing that it does not dispute the Direct Claim, Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to it.

 

6.9

Indemnification Procedure — Third Party Claims

 

  (a)

If a Third Party Claim is made or commenced against an Indemnified Person in respect of which the Indemnified Person proposes to demand indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnitee Representative shall give an Indemnification Notice to that effect together with particulars of the Third Party Claim to the Indemnitor Representative with reasonable promptness. The failure to give, or delay in giving, the Indemnification Notice, unless the Indemnification Notice is given after the expiration of the applicable time limit, if any, as set out in Section 6.3, will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations except and only to the extent of any prejudice caused to the Indemnifying Party by such failure or delay. From the time the Indemnified Person learns of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person and the Indemnitee Representative shall protect their rights and the rights of the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Third Party Claim.

 

  (b)

The Indemnitor Representative may, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by notice to the Indemnitee Representative given not later than 30 days after receipt of the Indemnification Notice described in Section 6.9(a), assume control of the defence, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim provided that:

 

- 81 -


  (i)

the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek any injunctive or other equitable relief;

 

  (ii)

the Indemnifying Party unconditionally acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify and hold the Indemnified Person harmless with respect to the Third Party Claim;

 

  (iii)

if the named parties in any Third Party Claim include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Person, representation by the same counsel would, in the judgment of the Indemnitee Representative, still be appropriate notwithstanding any actual or potential differing interests between them (including the availability of different defences);

 

  (iv)

settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the judgment of the Indemnitee Representative, likely to establish a precedent, custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Person; and

 

  (v)

if the Third Party Claim is in respect of Indemnified Taxes, and if (A) it relates solely to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and is not reasonably expected to have a material adverse impact upon Taxes for any other Tax period, and (B) the Indemnifying Party has paid to the applicable Tax Authority all amounts required to be paid in order to contest the Third Party Claim.

 

  (c)

Upon assumption of control by the Indemnitor Representative:

 

  (i)

the Indemnitor Representative shall actively and diligently proceed with the defence, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim at its sole cost and expense, retaining counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee Representative;

 

  (ii)

the Indemnitor Representative shall keep the Indemnitee Representative fully advised with respect to the status of the Third Party Claim (including supplying copies of all relevant documents promptly as they become available) and shall arrange for its counsel to inform the Indemnitee Representative on a regular basis of the status of the Third Party Claim; and

 

  (iii)

the Indemnitor Representative shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim unless consented to by the Indemnitee Representative (which consent may not be unreasonably or arbitrarily withheld or delayed).

 

  (d)

The Indemnified Person may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and may participate in the defence of the Third Party Claim.

 

  (e)

Provided all the conditions set forth in Section 6.9(b) are satisfied and the Indemnitor Representative is not in breach of any of its other obligations under this Section 6.9, the Indemnified Person and the Indemnitee Representative shall, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, cooperate with the Indemnitor Representative and use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the Indemnitor Representative all relevant information in their possession or under their control (provided that it does not cause either of them to breach any confidentiality obligations) and shall take such other steps as are, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnitor Representative, necessary to enable the Indemnitor Representative to conduct such defence; provided always that:

 

- 82 -


  (i)

no admission of fault may be made by or on behalf of any Purchaser Indemnified Person without the prior written consent of its Indemnitee Representative;

 

  (ii)

no admission of fault may be made by or on behalf of any Sellers Indemnified Person without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Indemnitee Representative;

 

  (iii)

the Indemnitee Representative and the Indemnified Person are not obligated to take any measures which, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnitee Representative’s legal counsel, could be prejudicial or unfavourable to the Indemnified Person; and

 

  (iv)

the Indemnified Person receives, as part of any compromise or settlement, a legally binding and enforceable unconditional release, which is in form and substance satisfactory to the Indemnitee Representative, acting reasonably, from any and all Liabilities it may have with respect to the Third Party Claim.

 

  (f)

If (i) the Indemnitor Representative fails to give the Indemnitee Representative the notice required in Section 6.9(b) or otherwise fails to comply with any of the conditions in Section 6.9(b), or (ii) the Indemnitor Representative breaches any of its other obligations under this Section 6.9, the Indemnitee Representative may assume control of the defence, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim and retain counsel as in its sole discretion may appear advisable, the whole at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to dispute that an indemnification is required pursuant to this Agreement. Any settlement or other final determination of the Third Party Claim will be binding upon the Indemnifying Party subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to dispute that an indemnification is required pursuant to this Agreement. The Indemnitor Representative shall, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense, cooperate fully with the Indemnitee Representative and use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the Indemnitee Representative all relevant information in its possession or under its control as are, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnitee Representative necessary to enable the Indemnitee Representative to conduct the defence. The Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnitee Representative and the Indemnitor Representative for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), and shall remain responsible for any Damages the Indemnified Person and the Indemnitee Representative may suffer resulting from, arising out of, or relating to, the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article 6, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to dispute that an indemnification is required pursuant to this Agreement. Regardless of whether the Indemnified Person, the Indemnitor Representative, the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnitee Representative shall assume the defense of the claim, the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party agree to cooperate fully with one another in connection therewith and to keep each other reasonably informed of the status of the claim and any related proceeding and the Indemnified Person shall take no action or make any admissions or statements not required by applicable Law which would adversely affect the defense of any such claim.

Any indemnification owing pursuant to this Article 6 by any Seller shall be paid as follows: (i) first, to the extent there are sufficient funds in the Escrowed Cash, by release of funds to the Purchaser Indemnified Persons from the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, (ii) second, to the extent there are sufficient Escrowed Shares in the Escrowed Shares Account, by release of Escrowed Shares from the Escrowed Shares Account to the account of the Purchaser in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, and (iii) third, to the extent the Escrowed Cash and Escrowed Shares in the Escrow Account are insufficient to pay any remaining sums due to the Purchasers Indemnified Persons, by payment by such Seller of any such amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Purchaser Indemnified Persons, within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the amount of such losses thereof.

 

  (b)

Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, any payment on account of Damages made by any Seller as an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Article 6 (including without limitation any payment made by release or cancellation of Escrowed Shares to the Purchaser) will constitute a dollar-for-dollar decrease of the Purchase Consideration and any payment made by Purchaser as an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 6 will constitute a dollar-for-dollar increase of the Purchase Consideration.

 

  (c)

Any indemnification owing pursuant to this Article 6 by any Seller to Purchaser Indemnified Persons shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds or payments from responsible third parties actually received by the Purchaser Indemnified Persons in connection therewith (net of any costs incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Person to obtain any such insurance proceeds or third party payments and net of any deductible and any increase in the annual insurance premium of said insurance policies for any subsequent period resulting from the filing and collection of such insurance claim); provided, however, that such reduction shall not preclude or be a precondition to the right of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons to make any claims pursuant to the indemnity provisions of this Article 6.

 

- 84 -


  (d)

All indemnity obligations under this Article 6 for shall be (i) reduced by any Tax Benefits actually realized by any party seeking indemnification hereunder arising from the matter giving rise to indemnification in the taxable year such matter occurred or the two successive taxable years following the taxable year such matter occurred, and (ii) increased to take account of any net Tax cost incurred by the Indemnified Person arising from the receipt of indemnity payments hereunder (grossed up for such increase). The amount for which the Purchaser is entitled to be indemnified under Article 6 shall not be reduced by the amount of any loss, credit, deduction or other Tax attribute incurred or generated in a Tax period that is not a Pre-Closing Tax Period. For these purposes, a “Tax Benefit” means the amount by which the Tax liability of the Indemnified Person actually is reduced by a deduction, reduction of income or entitlement to refund or credit.

 

  (e)

If any Governmental Authority is entitled to take collection action in respect of any claim in respect of Taxes in connection with which Purchaser asserts any right of indemnity against Sellers, notwithstanding the defense relating thereto, or if an amount has to be paid in order to advance the claim in respect of Taxes, Sellers shall pay or cause to be paid such amount that is subject to such collection action or that is required to be so paid to the relevant Governmental Authority within the time required by applicable Law.

 

  (f)

  (a)

The Sellers’ Representative shall prepare, and Purchaser shall cause the filing of, all Tax Returns for the Corporation due after the Closing Date in respect of all Pre-Closing Tax Periods other than Straddle Periods (for which Tax Returns have not been filed as of the Closing Date) (collectively, the “Stub Period Returns”).

After the date that Purchaser receives the Draft Return and within 120 days following the Closing Date (but in no event later than 30 days prior to the due date of any such Stub Period Return), or, in the case of a Stub Period Return not in respect of income taxes, in a timely manner, Purchaser shall advise Sellers’ Representative in writing that it either:

 

- 91 -


  (i)

agrees that the Draft Return was prepared in accordance with the principles set out above; or

 

  (ii)

does not agree that it was so prepared, in which case Purchaser shall set out, in reasonable detail, the basis for such disagreement.

 

  (b)

If Purchaser notifies Sellers’ Representative of a disagreement pursuant to Section 9.4(a)(ii), Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser shall attempt to resolve such disagreement; provided, however, that if Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser fail to reach agreement, then the disagreement shall be resolved by the Accountants. The fees and expenses of the Accountants in making any such determination will be borne 50% by Sellers and 50% by Purchaser. Such disagreement shall otherwise be resolved in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 2.8(c) mutatis mutandis. The decision as to whether or not to make an election under Subsection 256(9) of the Tax Act in respect of the taxation year of the Corporation ending as a result of the completion of the transaction of purchase and sale contemplated in this Agreement is within the control of Purchaser.

 

  (c)

Purchaser shall pay, as an adjustment to the Purchase Consideration, to the Sellers’ Representative for the benefit of Sellers within five Business Days of receipt, the amount of any refund of Taxes or credit against Taxes payable, other than any (i) refund of Taxes or credit against Taxes payable taken into account in the final Closing Statement, (whether actually received or applied as a credit or offset against Taxes payable) (plus the after tax amount of any interest paid thereon and net of any reasonable expenses incurred directly by Purchaser or the Corporation in connection therewith), where such refund or credit is a refund or credit of Taxes paid or incurred in a Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Corporation and (ii) any SRED Amount. At the reasonable request of the Sellers’ Representative, Purchaser and the Corporation shall, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to, execute such documents and take reasonable additional actions and otherwise reasonably cooperate as may be necessary for Purchaser, the Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates to receive and obtain all such refunds or credits, subject to reimbursement by Sellers of any reasonable expenses incurred directly in connection therewith. Purchaser and the Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Affiliates to, voluntarily forfeit, fail to collect or otherwise minimize any such refund or credit. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that all or any portion of any such refund or credit is subsequently disallowed by any Governmental Authority, the Sellers’ Representative shall promptly return an amount equal to any such disallowed amounts (plus any interest in respect of such disallowed amounts owed to a Governmental Authority) to the Purchaser. Nothing herein shall require that the Purchaser make any payment to the Sellers with respect to (a) any refund or credit of Taxes that is the result of the carrying back of any net operating loss or other Tax attribute or tax credit incurred or generated at or after the Closing Time; (b) any refund or credit of Taxes resulting from the payment of Taxes made on or after the Closing Time to the extent that such payments are in relation to Taxes arising on or after the Closing Time for which the Sellers have not indemnified the Purchaser or the Corporation for such Taxes; or (c) any refund or credit of Taxes that gives rise to a payment obligation by the Corporation to any Person (other than to the Sellers) under Law or pursuant to a provision of a Contract or other agreement entered (or assumed) by the Corporation on or prior to the Closing Time and for greater certainty, any such refund or credit, or portion thereof, shall be for the sole benefit of the Purchaser or the Corporation, as applicable.

 

- 92 -


  (d)

If the Corporation receives a SRED Amount after the Closing Time that has not been taken into account in the final Closing Statement, then Purchaser shall remit to the Sellers’ Representative an amount equal to such SRED Amount for distribution to the Sellers based on their Pro Rata Share of the Purchase Consideration as per allocation in Exhibit A, less any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such receipt and net of any Taxes incurred or to be incurred by the Corporation with respect to such SRED Amount. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that all or any portion of such SRED Amount is subsequently disallowed by any Governmental Authority, the Sellers’ Representative shall promptly return an amount equal to any such disallowed amounts (plus any interest in respect of such disallowed amounts owed to a Governmental Authority) to the Purchaser. All payments made under this Section 9.4(d) shall constitute an adjustment to the Purchase Consideration on a dollar-for-dollar basis to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

 

  (e)

Purchaser and the Corporation shall not, without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, amend any Tax Return in respect of a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

 

  (f)

The Purchaser shall (and shall cause the Corporation and their respective Representatives to) and the Sellers shall (and shall cause the Sellers’ Representative to): (a) provide the other Party and its Representatives with such assistance as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return, including the filing of any claim for refund or credit resulting from a carry-back of any Tax losses, or any audit or other examination by any Governmental Authority or judicial or administrative proceeding relating to Taxes with respect to the Corporation; (b) retain and provide the other Party and its Representatives with reasonable access to all records or information that may be relevant to such Tax Return, audit, examination or proceeding, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided thereunder, provided that the foregoing shall be done at the expense of the Party making such request and in a manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Parties; and (c) provide any information necessary or reasonably requested to allow compliance with any information reporting or withholding requirements contained in Laws.

 

- 93 -


  (g)

If it is determined that the Corporation or any of the Subsidiaries made an “excessive eligible dividend designation” (as defined in subsection 89(1) of the Tax Act), the Sellers hereby concur (or shall cause the recipient of the relevant dividend to concur) in the making of an election under subsection 185.1(2) of the Tax Act in respect of the full amount thereof, and such election shall be made by the Corporation in the manner and within the time prescribed by subsections 185.1(2) and 185.1(3) of the Tax Act.

 

  (h)

If it is determined that the Corporation has made an election under subsection 83(2) of the Tax Act in respect of the full amount of any dividend payable by it on shares of any class of its capital stock and the full amount of such dividend exceeded the amount of such corporation’s “capital dividend account” (as defined in the Tax Act) immediately before the dividend became payable, the Sellers hereby concur (or shall cause the recipient of the relevant dividend to concur) in the making of an election under subsection 184(3) of the Tax Act in respect of such dividend.

 

  (i)

The Purchaser shall prepare and cause the filing of all Tax Returns for the Corporation due after the Closing Date in respect of all Straddle Periods (collectively the “Straddle Period Returns”). All Straddle Period Returns must be prepared and filed on a timely basis and in a manner consistent with the Corporation’s prior practices (unless such practices are, in the reasonable determination of the Purchaser, contrary to applicable Law) and consistent in all respects with the representations and warranties in respect of tax matters contained herein.

 

  (j)

At least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which any such Straddle Period Returns are due to be filed, the Purchaser shall provide the Sellers’ Representative with a substantially final draft of such Straddle Period Returns, except in the case of Straddle Period Returns not in respect of income Taxes which shall be provided to the Purchaser in a timely manner. The Sellers’ Representative shall have the right to review such draft returns and provide the Purchaser with comments no later than five days prior to the date on which such Straddle Period Returns are due to be filed.

 

  (k)

The Purchaser shall incorporate the Sellers’ Representative reasonable comments in the Straddle Period Returns prior to filing.

 

  (l)

The Sellers shall pay all Taxes that are payable as determined with reference to the Stub Period Returns or that are payable with reference to the portion of any Straddle Period Return for the Pre-Closing Tax Period (as determined under Section 9.4(m)), except to the extent such Taxes were reflected in the final Closing Statement or in respect of which the Sellers have indemnified the Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.1(c).

 

- 94 -


  (m)

In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of any such Tax that is allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period will be:

 

  (i)

in the case of Taxes that are either (i) based upon or related to income or receipts or (ii) imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable period ended immediately prior to the Closing Time; and

 

  (ii)

in the case of Taxes that do not fall within (i) above, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Straddle Period prior to the Closing Time and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire relevant Straddle Period.

 

9.5

Rollover Elections.

 

  (a)

At the request of a Seller, the Parties covenant and agree to execute and deliver in a timely manner (i) a rollover agreement and (ii) elections pursuant to subsection 85(1) or 85(2), as the case may be, of the Tax Act and under the comparable provisions of any applicable provincial income tax legislation in respect of the transfers contemplated by this Agreement at such elected amount requested by such Seller (the “Rollover Shareholder”), subject to the limitations set forth in the Tax Act and under comparable provisions of any applicable provincial income tax legislation, and to otherwise cooperate in such regard with the intention that the election will result in the disposition of the Purchased Shares on a partially or totally tax-deferred basis to such Seller for purposes of the Tax Act and under the comparable provisions of any Canadian provincial income tax legislation. In connection with the foregoing:

 

  (i)

Purchaser agrees that provided two signed copies of the necessary election forms, duly completed with the details of the property transferred in respect of which such Rollover Shareholder is making an election, are delivered by a Seller desiring to make such an election on or before 90 days after the Closing Date to Purchaser, and the applicable elected amount for purposes of the election in respect of such property, subject to such election form complying with applicable Law, such forms will be signed by an appropriate signing officer of Purchaser, and returned to such Seller within 30 days for filing by such Seller with the relevant Governmental Authority.

 

  (ii)

Each Rollover Shareholder desiring to make such an election and Purchaser shall, file each of the elections referred to in this Section 9.5, as described above, in time and form required by applicable Law.

 

- 95 -


  (iii)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not have any responsibility whatsoever and shall not in any way be obligated to indemnify Sellers in respect of any loss or damage that may be suffered by reason of any inaccuracy or incompleteness of any election forms and any Seller who files such an election shall not have any responsibility whatsoever and shall not in any way be obligated to indemnify Purchaser in respect of any loss or damage that may be suffered by reason of any inaccuracy or incompleteness of any election forms.

 

9.6

Access to Books and Records

At Closing, all the Books and Records will be located at the Corporation’s offices or those of its professional advisors. For a period of six years from the Closing Date or for such longer period as may be required by applicable Law, Purchaser shall retain all accounting Books and Records relating to the Business and the Corporation in its possession. So long as any such Books and Records are retained by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, Sellers may inspect and make copies (at their own expense) of them for Tax purposes at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice for any proper purpose and without undue interference to the business operations of the Corporation. Purchaser may have its representatives present during any such inspection.

 

9.7

Registration Statement

 

  (a)

The Purchaser has filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale from time to time of Village Farms Shares by selling security holders generically. The Purchaser shall file a prospectus supplement (pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the U.S. Securities Act) to the Registration Statement identifying the Sellers as selling securityholders of Registrable Shares (each, a “Prospectus Supplement”) within four (4) months of the later of (i) the date on which such Registrable Shares are issued to and acquired by the Sellers, or (ii) the date that the Sellers have furnished (y) in writing to the Purchaser such information regarding such Seller, the Registrable Shares held by such Seller and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Shares in the form as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser, and (z) such executed documents from such Seller that are necessary for compliance with SEC rules and regulations in connection with such registration and/or otherwise customary of a selling shareholder in similar situations (such later date, the “Prospectus Supplement Filing Deadline”). The Purchaser shall provide prompt notice to the Sellers’ Representative of the filing of the applicable Prospectus Supplement. The obligations of the Purchaser in this Section (a) shall be subject to the timely cooperation of the Sellers in providing the information and executing any documents as contemplated in the immediately preceding sentence, and any Seller who fails to provide all requested information for purposes of disclosure in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, as applicable, by the Prospectus Supplement Filing Deadline may be excluded from such Prospectus Supplement. As of the date of the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Registration Statement (together with such Prospectus Supplement) will comply in all material respects with the provisions of the U.S. Securities Act, and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not false or misleading (a “Material Misstatement”); provided, however, that none of the provisions of the preceding sentence shall apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement (together with any applicable Prospectus Supplement) made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished solely by the Sellers for use in the Registration Statement and/or any applicable Prospectus Supplement. As soon as practicable after a Prospectus Supplement being filed with the SEC, the Purchaser will issue and deliver to the Purchaser’s transfer agent an irrevocable treasury order authorizing such transfer agent, as the registrar and transfer agent for the Village Farms Shares, to remove all legends on the Village Farms Shares that are included as Registrable Shares in such Prospectus Supplement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser’s sole obligation with respect to such legend removal shall be the delivery of such treasury order, and the Purchaser shall have no liability to any Seller or any other Party, and shall not be deemed to have made any representation or assurance, with respect to the actual time elapsed between the submission of such treasury order and the removal of any such applicable legends. It is understood and acknowledged that the only evidence that the Sellers whose legends are so removed shall be unlegended DRS advice statements issued by the Purchaser’s transfer agent and, accordingly, it is the sole responsibility of any such Sellers to instruct their respective securities brokers to move such unlegended DRS advice positions into electronic book-entry positions to facilitate open market transactions over the NASDAQ or the TSX.

 

- 96 -


  (b)

The Purchaser shall (i) give the Sellers’ Representative the opportunity to review and comment on each Prospectus Supplement, any amendments to each such Prospectus Supplement, and, to the extent not prohibited by Law, related written correspondence with the SEC before the applicable Prospectus Supplement and any such amendment is filed with or provided to the SEC in final form, (ii) notify the Sellers’ Representative promptly of the time when any supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement that relates to resales of Registrable Shares by the Sellers has been filed, and of the issuance of any stop order or suspension of the registration under the U.S. Securities Act of the Village Farms Shares to be resold under the Registration Statement, (iii) if applicable, make all necessary filings under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and the rules and regulations thereunder for the issuance of Village Farms Shares under this Agreement, and timely obtain any actions, consents approvals or waivers required in connection therewith, and (iv) if applicable, notify NASDAQ of the Village Farms Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with NASDAQ rules and regulations.

 

  (c)

Each Seller shall comply with all U.S. and/or Canadian federal, state and/or provincial securities Laws applicable to such Seller in connection with the resale of Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement and/or the applicable Prospectus Supplement. The Purchaser shall notify each Seller promptly upon the Purchaser’s reasonable determination in its good faith judgment that the Registration Statement or any supplement to any prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement (including any Prospectus Supplement) contains a Material Misstatement. In the case of any such notice, the Purchaser shall use best efforts to supplement or amend such prospectus as promptly as practicable so that such prospectus will not contain such Material Misstatement and shall provide a copy of such supplemented or amended prospectus to each Seller as promptly as practicable, but no later than three (3) Business Days following the filing thereof with the SEC. Upon being notified by the Purchaser of any Material Misstatement, each Seller shall refrain from selling any Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement until such holders of Village Farms Shares receive from the Purchaser copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus prepared and filed by the Purchaser, or until the Purchaser notifies such Sellers in writing that the then current prospectus may be used.

 

- 97 -


  (d)

Following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be continuously effective until earlier of (i) July 11, 2024 (the expiration date of the Registration Statement) and (ii) such time as the Registrable Shares represent less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding Village Farms Shares (such period, the “Registration Period”). If the Registration Statement ceases to be effective under the U.S. Securities Act for any reason at any time during the Registration Period, the Purchaser shall use its best efforts to promptly cause such Registration Statement to again become effective under the U.S. Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement), and in any event shall within thirty (30) days of such cessation of effectiveness, amend such Registration Statement in a manner reasonably expected to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or, file an additional registration statement for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the U.S. Securities Act registering the resale from time to time by Sellers thereof of all securities that are Registrable Shares as of the time of such filing. If such an additional registration statement is filed, the Purchaser shall use its reasonable efforts to (a) cause such additional registration statement to become effective under the U.S. Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after such filing, and (b) keep such additional registration statement (or another additional registration statement) continuously effective until the end of the Registration Period. The Purchaser shall supplement and amend the Registration Statement or additional registration statement contemplated hereunder if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Purchaser for such registration statement if required by the U.S. Securities Act or as reasonably requested by the Sellers.

 

  (e)

From the date of this Agreement until the end of the Registration Period, the Purchaser shall use best efforts to make and keep public all of the issuer information contemplated by Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act, and file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by the Purchaser under the U.S. Securities Act and the U.S. Exchange Act, in each case in order to permit resale of the Village Farms Shares issued as the Share Consideration in compliance with Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act.

 

- 98 -


  (f)

All expenses (other than Registrable Shares Selling Expenses) incurred in connection with registrations, filings, or qualifications pursuant to Section 9.7, including all registration, filing, and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Purchaser shall be borne and paid by the Purchaser. All Registrable Shares Selling Expenses relating to Registrable Shares registered pursuant to this Section 9.7 shall be borne and paid by the Sellers according to their Pro Rata Shares.

 

  (g)

To the extent permitted by law, the Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless each Seller named in the Registration Statement and/or a Prospectus Supplement, and ; legal counsel and accountants for each such Seller; any underwriter (as defined in the U.S. Securities Act) for each such Seller; and each Person, if any, who controls each such Seller or underwriter within the meaning of the U.S. Securities Act, against any liabilities under the U.S. Securities Act from the offer and sale of any the Village Farms Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement and/or the applicable Prospectus Supplement, and the Purchaser will pay to each such Seller, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any Legal Proceeding from which such liabilities under the U.S. Securities Act may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 9.7(g) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Legal Proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Purchaser be liable under this Section 9.7(g) to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions (i) made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of any such Seller, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person expressly for use in connection with the Registration Statement and/or the applicable Prospectus Supplement, or (ii) due to any Seller’s failure to deliver an amended or supplemental prospectus furnished to such Seller by the Purchaser, if required by Law to have been delivered, if such loss, liability, claim, damage, judgment or expense would not have arisen had such delivery occurred.

 

  (h)

To the extent permitted by law, each Seller named in the Registration Statement and/or a Prospectus Supplement, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, and each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the Registration Statement, each Person (if any), who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of the U.S. Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Purchaser, any underwriter (as defined in the U.S. Securities Act), each other Seller, and any controlling Person of any such underwriter or other Seller, against any liabilities under the U.S. Securities Act arising from the offer and sale of any the Village Farms Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement and/or the applicable Prospectus Supplement, in each case only to the extent that such liabilities under the U.S. Securities Act arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such Seller expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement and/or Prospectus Supplement; and each such Seller will pay to the Purchaser and each other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any such Legal Proceeding from which such liabilities under the U.S. Securities Act may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 9.7(h) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Legal Proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of such applicable Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further that in no event shall the aggregate amounts payable by such Seller by way of indemnity or contribution under this Section 9.7(h) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Seller (net of any selling expenses paid by such Seller), except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Seller.

 

- 99 -


  (i)

The Sellers hereby agree and acknowledge that (i) nothing in this Section 9.7 shall confer upon Sellers any piggyback registration rights with respect to any Village Farms Shares, and the Purchaser shall have no obligation to conduct any underwritten offerings in respect of any resales of Village Farms Shares under the Registration Statement; and (ii) the Purchaser shall have no obligation to deliver any legal opinions, negative assurance disclosure letters or comfort letters in connection with any such resales (except for any legal opinions customarily required by the transfer agent of the Purchaser to facilitate the removal of legends upon filing of the applicable Prospectus Supplement).

If payment of the purchase price is so deposited and/or delivered, then from and after the date of deposit and/or delivery, notwithstanding that certificates or instruments evidencing the Corporation Securities, as applicable, may not have been delivered to the purchaser, the purchase of the Corporation Securities shall be deemed to have been fully completed and the records of the Corporation shall be amended accordingly and all right, title, benefit and interest, both at law and in equity, in and to the Corporation Securities shall be conclusively deemed to have been transferred and assigned to and become vested in the purchaser and all right, title, benefit and interest of the vendor and of any other Person (other than the purchaser) having any interest therein, legal or equitable, in any capacity whatsoever shall cease.

5.1.2 At the time of the sale of Corporation Securities made pursuant to this Agreement, if section 116 of the Tax Act is applicable to the sale, the vendor shall provide to the purchaser either:

5.1.2.1 a statutory declaration of the vendor that such vendor is not a non-resident of Canada or is a “Canadian partnership” for purposes of the Tax Act; or

5.1.2.2 a certificate from the Canada Revenue Agency under section 116 of the Tax Act certifying that all taxes payable in connection with the transaction have been paid or that no taxes are payable in respect of the transaction;

 

- 20 -


provided that, if no declaration or certificate is delivered by the vendor, the purchaser shall be entitled to deduct from the purchase price payable to the vendor an amount equal to the amount of tax for which the purchaser may be liable (as determined solely by the purchaser, acting reasonably) under the Tax Act. For greater certainty, section 116 of the Tax Act shall not be considered to be applicable in any case where the vendor of the Corporation Securities being sold represents and warrants to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board (or in the case of a sale to an Arm’s Length party, to the reasonable satisfaction of such Arm’s Length party), at the relevant time of the sale, that such Corporation Securities are not “taxable Canadian property” of such vendor for purposes of the Tax Act, unless there is a change in law in connection with section 116 of Tax Act.

5.1.3 For the purposes of this section 5.1, any reference to the vendor shall mean the Shareholder or Shareholders who are deemed to be the holder of the Corporation Securities being sold under this Agreement.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Village Farms International Acquires 70% of Québec-Based ROSE LifeScience, a Leading Vertically Integrated Branded and Third-Party Supplier to the Québec Cannabis Market

Acquisition Adds a Substantial Presence in One of Canada’s Largest Cannabis Markets, Experienced, Québec-Based Cannabis Leadership and a Québec-Based Production Facility

Vancouver, BC, November 15, 2021 Village Farms International, Inc. (“Village Farms” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:VFF) (TSX:VFF) today announced it has acquired 70% ownership of privately-held, Québec-based, ROSE LifeScience (“ROSE”), a leading vertically integrated branded cannabis producer, supplier and commercialization expert in the Province of Québec, effective today (“Closing Date”). The transaction is valued at up to C$46.7 million. ROSE becomes the Québec operational unit of Village Farms’ Canadian cannabis business segment, with ROSE’s headquarters and the existing team remaining in Québec.

ROSE is a leading third-party cannabis products commercialization expert in the Province of Québec, acting as the exclusive, direct-to-retail sales, marketing and distribution entity for Entourage Health, Sundial, Tilray and The Flowr Corporation and 10 Québec micro and craft growers throughout Québec. ROSE also distributes to Québec retail its own brand of high-quality cannabis products. Tam Tams is grown and processed at ROSE’s Québec-based, Health Canada-licensed 55,000 square-foot Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA), purpose-built facility in Huntingdon, which was commissioned in 2020. ROSE also enables a platform for commercialization in the Québec market for several Québec-based micro-producers under its DLYS brand.

Highlights of the Acquisition

 

   

Adds a substantial presence in the Province of Québec as a cannabis supplier, producer and commercialization expert in the Province of Québec, which represents approximately 15%1 of total Canadian retail cannabis sales at the current annualized run rate of more than C$627 million1, the vast majority of which is dried flower and pre-rolled products;

 

   

Adds experienced, Québec-based industry leaders who will join the Village Farms/Pure Sunfarms team, bolstering extensive existing relationships in the Québec cannabis market and leveraging specialized, deep experience in both consumer-packaged goods and regulated industries; and,

 

   

Adds a Québec-based, 55,000 square foot, Health Canada-licensed Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) cultivation and processing facility, which is included in the transaction.

Village Farms Management Commentary

“The acquisition of ROSE – by far the most successful Québec-based cannabis operator in our view – is a prudent and strategic means by which to enter, and rapidly ramp sales, in one of Canada’s largest provincial cannabis markets,” said Michael DeGiglio, CEO, Village Farms. “ROSE adds an exceptional group of Québec-based experts to our Canadian cannabis operations. The team has a proven track record of success, and shares our belief in the importance of cultivation excellence, as well as the advantage of innovation and continuous improvement. We look forward to building on ROSE’s strong foundation in the Québec market, with a long-term commitment to the Company’s Québec heritage.”

“ROSE immediately expands our reach to more than 90%1 of all Canadian retail cannabis sales and represents a major step forward in Pure Sunfarms’ strategy to become the leading national supplier of cannabis in Canada, with at least a 20% market share in the dried flower category,” said Mandesh Dosanjh, President and Chief Executive Officer, Pure Sunfarms. “ROSE is very well respected in the Québec cannabis industry, with a reputation for leadership and brand strategy success that we have come to know well and respect. We look forward to pursing the new opportunities, both near-term and long-term, created by the addition of ROSE as our Québec-based cannabis operational unit.”

ROSE Management Commentary

“We have long admired the success of Village Farms and Pure Sunfarms in the Canadian cannabis industry. We are proud to join forces with them to accelerate our successes, and seize this opportunity to further evolve the industry in our home province of Québec,” said Davide Zaffino, co-founder and President and Chief Executive Officer, ROSE. “We cherish our Québec roots, and deeply believe in our province’s culture and values. As always, we remain committed to ensuring that Québec benefits from the responsible production, sale and consumption of cannabis. As part of the outstanding family of cannabis businesses within Village Farms, we are even better positioned to continue playing this leading role in the Québec landscape.”

Purchase Price

Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, Village Farms acquired 70% of all outstanding shares of ROSE on a debt-free basis for a consideration comprised of cash and a total of 2,411,280 common shares of Village Farms (“Village Farms Shares”) being (i) C$19.9 million in cash, (ii) Village Farms Shares in the total value of C$26.8 million. As part of the consideration, any existing ROSE material debt has been paid off in full.

The Village Farms Shares issued under the Share Purchase Agreement are subject to lock-up agreements, and subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, 33% of these shares will be released in four months, another 33% of these shares to be released after eight months and the remaining shares to be released after one year.

The co-founder and President and Chief Executive Officer of ROSE, Davide Zaffino, and co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of ROSE, Brian D. Stevenson (the “Management Shareholders”), who were among the sellers of ROSE in this transaction, will remain in their current roles with ROSE post-acquisition and have retained a 30% interest in ROSE (“Retained Interest”). In conjunction with the acquisition, Village Farms and the Management Shareholders have entered into an agreement providing Village Farms with a pathway to acquire the Retained Interest upon the occurrence of certain triggering events prior to March 31, 2025. The price for this call right was set at a multiple solely based on ROSE’s adjusted EBITDA performance of the applicable prior calendar year.
