Shareholder Vote on Massive Dilution
Shareholders will vote on August 10, 2026, to approve the issuance of 8,959,893 new shares of common stock, primarily to convert outstanding promissory notes and warrants, and for shared services agreements. This represents over 400% dilution to the current 2,179,128 outstanding shares.
-
Potential Change of Control to Green Thumb
If approved, RSLGH, a subsidiary of Green Thumb Industries, would increase its ownership from 32.1% to approximately 90.1% of RYTHM's outstanding common stock on a non-diluted basis, giving Green Thumb control over all shareholder-approved matters.
-
Extreme Dilution for Existing Shareholders
The issuance would result in significant voting dilution for current shareholders, with RSLGH holding 81.6% of the total outstanding shares on a fully-diluted basis. This concentration of ownership could also limit public float and increase stock price volatility.
-
Related-Party Transaction
The transaction involves Green Thumb Industries, whose Chairman and CEO, Benjamin Kovler, also serves as RYTHM's Chairman and Interim CEO. Another RYTHM director is a Green Thumb employee, indicating a significant related-party interest in the approval.
