Item 8.01  Other Events.
 
On October 22, 2019, cbdMD, Inc. filed Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of North Carolina to form a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Paw CBD, Inc., in conjunction with the organization of its animal health division. In the third quarter of fiscal 2019 cbdMD, Inc. launched its new CBD pet brand, Paw CBD. Following the initial positive response to the brand from retailers and consumers, cbdMD, Inc. organized Paw CBD, Inc. as a separate wholly-owned subsidiary in an effort to take advantage of its early mover status in the CBD animal health industry. With over 40 SKU’s of premium pet CBD products for dogs, cats and horses, cbdMD, Inc. is seeking to grow Paw CBD into a leading brand. cbdMD, Inc. also anticipates that Paw CBD, Inc. will also partner with existing pet brands seeking to leverage cbdMD, Inc.’s experience in sales, marketing and distribution in the CBD industry.
