assets in Colorado.  Delivering our brands and our excellent customer
service into new neighborhoods is a Schwazze hallmark as we continue to go deep

The common stock consideration was  split 65% to 35% between the two equityholders of Urban.   At closing, each equityholder that received common stock consideration was required to execute a standard lock-up agreement providing for limitations on resale of the stock consideration received.  There were no finder’s fees or similar arrangements in connection with the transaction.
