Item 1.01 Amendment of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 3, 2017, Diego Pellicer Worldwide, Inc. (the “Company”) received from Diego Pellicer, Inc., a Washington corporation (“Diego Washington”) the signed Second Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated June 7, 2016, by and between Diego Washington and the Company (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment further amends the original Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 23, 2014, between the Company and Diego Washington, previously amended on April 19, 2014.
The Second Amendment provides that when consummating the merger and determining how many Company common shares to issue to the shareholders of Diego Washington in exchange for their Diego Washington shares, Diego Washington shall be valued at three times its then current EBITDA value, less the sum owed to Company investors, calculated to be approximately $958,219.53. The difference shall be the value assigned to all of the issued and outstanding shares of Diego Washington, with each Diego Washington shareholder exchanging his or her Diego Washington shares for an equivalent value of Company common shares, based on their actual value. Previously, the Company planned to issue a set amount of its common shares (1,386,667 shares) to Diego Washington and to issue 1,066,661 Company common shares to Company cash investors, note holders and Series A investors as additional consideration in the merger.
