Item 1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership.
On September 30, 2026, Greenlane Holdings, LLC, Warehouse Goods LLC, KIM International, LLC and Kush Supply Co. LLC (collectively, the “Assignors”), each a direct or indirect subsidiary of Greenlane Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), each executed an irrevocable assignment for the benefit of creditors under Chapter 727 of the Florida Statutes (collectively, the “Assignments”) in favor of Philip J. von Kahle (the “Assignee”). The Assignee accepted each Assignment on September 30, 2026. The Assignee is perfecting the Assignments under Florida law and is commencing four cases that are in the process of being filed and docketed in the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida, Complex Business Division (the “Court”). After the cases are docketed and assigned to a judge, the Assignee is expected to seek to have the cases administered under a single consolidated lead case number. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, case numbers have not been assigned.
Under the Assignments, each Assignor transferred substantially all of its assets to the Assignee. The Assignee is responsible for liquidating those assets and distributing the proceeds to the creditors of each Assignor in accordance with Chapter 727 of the Florida Statutes and, once the assignment proceedings are commenced, under the supervision of the Court. The Assignee, and not the Company, now controls the assets of the Assignors and the administration of their estates. The Assignments do not release the Assignors from their liabilities.
The assets assigned by Greenlane Holdings, LLC include its equity interests in Warehouse Goods LLC, Merger Sub Gotham 2, LLC and Greenlane Holdings EU B.V. Merger Sub Gotham 2, LLC is the direct parent of KIM International, LLC, Kush Supply Co. LLC, Kush Energy LLC and KCH Distribution Inc., and Greenlane Holdings EU B.V. is the direct parent of ARI Logistics B.V.
The assets assigned by Warehouse Goods LLC include the Vapor.com domain and related intellectual property and its equity interests in Vapeworld Distribution LTD and Banana G’s LLC. Merger Sub Gotham 2, LLC, Kush Energy LLC, KCH Distribution Inc., Greenlane Holdings EU B.V., ARI Logistics B.V. and Vapeworld Distribution LTD (collectively, the “Assigned Subsidiaries”) did not make assignments, but their equity interests are held, directly or indirectly, by the Assignee as a result of the Assignments. ARI Logistics B.V. and Vapeworld Distribution LTD are the subject of separate liquidation proceedings in the Netherlands and Canada, respectively.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
The information set forth in Item 1.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated into this Item 2.01 by reference.
As a result of the Assignments, the Assignee, and not the Company, controls the assets of the Assignors, including their equity interests in the Assigned Subsidiaries, and the administration of their estates, and the Company no longer has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the Assignors and the Assigned Subsidiaries (together, the “Deconsolidated Entities”). The Company will therefore deconsolidate the Deconsolidated Entities from its consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2026. The Company did not receive any consideration in connection with the Assignments. Immediately before the Assignments, Warehouse Goods LLC paid the Assignee a $60,000 retainer for costs of the assignment proceedings from funds of Warehouse Goods LLC. The Company has not paid any fees or costs of the Assignee or the assignment proceedings. The Company has agreed in principle to lend the Assignee $100,000 to fund costs of the assignment proceedings. No loan agreement has been signed, no funds have been advanced, and there can be no assurance that the loan will be made. There is no material relationship between the Assignee and the Company or any of its affiliates, any director or officer of the Company, or any associate of any such director or officer, other than in respect of the Assignments and the proposed loan.
The Company expects to recognize a gain on the deconsolidation of the Deconsolidated Entities. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information filed as Exhibit 99.1 reflects a preliminary gain of approximately $3.2 million, computed using balances as of June 30, 2026. The actual gain will be determined using balances as of September 30, 2026, will be reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 and may differ materially from the preliminary amount.
