ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
As previously disclosed, on December 20, 2023 Can B Corp. (the “Company”) filed an action in the Supreme Court, County of New York (the “Court”), seeking to preliminarily and permanently enjoin the proposed sale by Arena Special Opportunities Partners I, LP, Arena Special Opportunities Fund, LP and Arena Investors, LP (collectively, “Arena”) under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries due to, among other things, its contention that the proposed auction would not be commercially reasonable and the security interests in the Company’s assets claimed to be held by Arena are invalid.
On December 21, 2023, Arena agreed to postpone the proposed auction and, in a stipulation filed with the Court, the Company agreed that it would advise the Court by January 12, 2024 as to whether it intends to proceed with its motion for a preliminary injunction. On January 12, 2024, the Company requested that the Court hold the Company’s motion in abeyance and that the date for filing the letter advising as to whether it intends to proceed with the motion for a preliminary injunction be extended until February 12, 2024.
The Company is pursuing replacement financing as a means of resolving the matter with Arena. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in obtaining replacement financing.
