November 30, 2022

(Date of event which requires filing of this statement)

 

If the filing person has previously filed a statement on Schedule 13G to report the acquisition that is the subject of this Schedule 13D, and is filing this schedule because of §§ 240.13d-1(e), 240.13d-1(f) or 240.13d-1(g), check the following box ¨.

 

Note: Schedules filed in paper format shall include a signed original and five copies of the schedule, including all exhibits. See § 240.13d-7 for other parties to whom copies are to be sent.

 

* The remainder of this cover page shall be filled out for a reporting person’s initial filing on this form with respect to the subject class of securities, and for any subsequent amendment containing information which would alter disclosures provided in a prior cover page.

 

The information on the remainder of this cover page shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section of the Act but shall be subject to all other provisions of the Act (however, see the Notes).

 

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 1”) amends that certain Schedule 13D filed on February 26, 2021 by CRW Capital, LLC, CRW Capital Cann Holdings, LLC, Marc R. Rubin and Jeffrey A. Cozad (the “Original Schedule 13D”). This Amendment No. 1 amends the Original Schedule 13D to report beneficial ownership acquired on November 30, 2022 by CRW Capital Holdings II, LLC, a newly formed entity that was not a party to the Original Schedule 13D. The acquisition of beneficial ownership by CRW Capital Holdings II, LLC does not increase or otherwise affect the beneficial ownership of CRW Capital Cann Holdings, LLC. CRW Capital LLC, CRW Capital Cann Holdings, LLC, CRW Capital Holdings II, LLC, Marc R. Rubin and Jeffrey A. Cozad are filing this Amendment No. 1 as a group to report their respective beneficial ownership of Medicine Man Technologies, Inc., including as a result of changes resulting from the November 30, 2022 transaction involving CRW Capital Holdings II, LLC. The beneficial ownership of CRW Capital Cann Holdings, LLC in Medicine Man Technologies, Inc. has not changed since the Original Schedule 13D and is therefore not included on this Amendment No. 1.

The Series A Preferred Shares are convertible into shares of Common Stock upon the events specified in the Issuer’s Certificate of Designation relating the Series A Preferred Shares (the “Certificate of Designation”). Each Series A Preferred Share shall be convertible into that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the preference amount (which, at the time of the original issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares, was $1,000.00) plus any accrued dividends with respect to such share, divided by the conversion price (which, at the time of the original issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares, was $1.20), subject to adjustment as set forth in the Certificate of Designation. The Series A Preferred Shares earn a cumulative dividend of 8% per annum.

Item 4.Purpose of Transaction.

 

On November 23, 2022, CRW II entered into a Preferred Stock Secondary Purchase Agreement (the “CRW Purchase Agreement”) with Ghada Joudeh, Naser Ahmad Joudeh, Shadhaa Ramadan, All N 1 Inc. and Brian Ruden (collectively, the “Sellers”) pursuant to which the Sellers sold 4,000 Series A Preferred Shares and agreed to sell to CRW II up to 10,390 additional Series A Preferred Shares (the “Remaining Available Shares”), at a price of $1,000 per share, in one or more closings on or before May 30, 2023 (subject to extension by mutual agreement).

 

The CRW Purchase Agreement contains certain covenants with respect to board and board committee appointment rights. Pursuant to the CRW Purchase Agreement, for as long as the Sellers and the Members (as that term is defined in that certain Omnibus Amendment No. 2 to those certain Asset Purchase Agreements by and between certain of the Sellers, certain entities controlled by the Sellers and certain other parties thereto dated as of December 17, 2020) hold certain quantities of Series A Preferred Shares, or the securities of the Issuer into which they convert, then Brian Ruden (“Ruden”) and Naser Joudeh (“Joudeh” and, together with Ruden, the “Appointers”) shall be permitted to appoint two (2) directors of the Issuer if the number of directors of the Issuer is five (5) or more, or three (3) directors (the “Appointees”) of the Issuer so long as the number of directors of the Issuer is seven (7) or more (the “Board Appointment Right”).
