9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer,
we conducted an evaluation (pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act) of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures,
as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of December 31, 2024.
Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Legal Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based
on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Legal Officer concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of December 31, 2024 due to the material weaknesses identified and described
below.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Legal Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control
over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary
to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only
in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Legal Officer,
we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on the
framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO) (2013 framework). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Legal Officer have concluded that
as of December 31, 2024, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting due to the material weaknesses
identified and described below.
62
Material
Weaknesses
As
previously described in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, we began implementing a remediation
plan to address the material weaknesses identified in the prior year, and our management continues to be actively engaged in the remediation
efforts.
Among
the previously reported design and operating deficiencies which contributed to material weaknesses in our control activities, management
noted ineffective user access controls over certain IT systems to appropriately segregate duties and adequately restrict user access
to financial applications and data to the appropriate personnel. While certain compensating control activities have been designed and
implemented to mitigate the risks related to ineffective user access controls, these compensating control activities are not expected
to operate at a level of precision that would prevent or detect a misstatement that could be material.
Control
Environment
We
did not maintain an effective control environment to enable the identification and mitigation of risks of material accounting errors
and ensure corrective activities were appropriately applied, prioritized, and implemented in a timely manner.
Risk
Assessment
As
part of our remediation efforts related to the material weaknesses identified in the prior year, we continued our efforts during 2024
to design an effective risk assessment, which was completed or fully implemented in order to identify and mitigate key business and financial
reporting risks to the organization. Control deficiencies were identified which constitute material weaknesses relating to: (i) identifying,
assessing, and communicating appropriate objectives, (ii) identifying and analyzing risks to achieve these objectives, (iii) considering
the potential for fraud in assessing risks to the achievement of objectives, and (iv) identifying and assessing changes that could significantly
impact the system of internal controls.
Control
Activities
As
part of our remediation efforts related to the material weaknesses identified in the prior year, we continued our efforts during 2024
to design and implement control activities, however, design efforts relating to control activities were not fully implemented. Control
deficiencies were identified associated with control activities. Specifically, these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses,
either individually or in the aggregate, relating to: (i) selecting and developing control activities that contribute to the mitigation
of risks and support achievement of objectives, (ii) selecting and developing general control activities over technology to support the
achievement of objectives, and (iii) deploying control activities through policies that establish what is expected and procedures that
put policies into action.
The
following design and operating deficiencies, individually and in the aggregate, contributed to material weaknesses in our control activities,
including:
●
Lack
of direct and precise journal entry review
●
Ineffective
user access controls over certain IT systems to appropriately segregate duties and adequately restrict user access to financial applications
and data to the appropriate personnel, including systems and data used in financial close and reporting
Information
and Communication
We
did not implement effective information and communication control activities. A control deficiency was identified which constitutes a
material weakness relating to information technology controls, which includes information security, systems change management and computer
operations for systems and applications that are critical to processing financial transactions and capturing and reporting information
in the financial reporting process. These ineffective information technology controls contributed to ineffective data validation of spreadsheets
and system-generated reports utilized in the preparation of the financial statements and disclosures.
Monitoring
We
did not implement effective monitoring activities. Control deficiencies were identified which constitute material weaknesses, individually
and in the aggregate, relating to: (i) selecting, developing, and performing ongoing evaluation to ascertain whether the components of
internal controls are present and functioning, and (ii) evaluating and communicating internal control deficiencies in a timely manner
to those parties responsible for taking corrective action.
63
Remediation
Plan and Status
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As
discussed above, in 2021 we began a multi-year implementation of a new ERP system which fully replaced our legacy financial systems in
2024. The ERP system is designed to accurately maintain the Company’s financial records, enhance the flow of financial information,
improve data management and provide timely information to our management team.
There
were no other changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2024 that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Management
recognizes that a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that
the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints,
and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems,
no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, have been detected.
These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because
of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two
or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions
about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under
all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance
with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due
to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Delinquent
Section 16(a) Reports
Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class

13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Related
Party Transaction Policy
Our
Board recognizes the fact that transactions with related persons present a heightened risk of conflicts of interests and/or improper
valuation (or the perception thereof). Our Board has adopted a written policy on transactions with related persons under which:
●any
related-person transaction must be reviewed and approved or ratified by the Audit Committee, or the chair of the Audit Committee in the
event management decides it is not practicable or desirable to wait until the next committee meeting; and
●management
must periodically inquire of directors and officers with respect to any potential related-person transaction of which they may be a party
or of which they may be aware.
●any
employment relationship or transaction involving an executive officer and any related compensation must be approved by the compensation
committee of the Board or recommended by the compensation committee to the Board for its approval.
In
connection with the review and approval or ratification of a related-person transaction:
●management
must disclose to the Audit Committee or the chair of the Audit Committee, (i) the basis on which the person is a related person; (ii)
the material facts of the related-party transaction, including the proposed aggregate value of such transaction or, in the case of indebtedness,
the amount of principal and interest that would be involved and other principal terms of such indebtedness; (iii) the benefits to the
Company of the proposed related-party transaction; (iv) if applicable, the availability of other sources of comparable products or services;
and (v) an assessment of whether the proposed related-party transaction is on terms that are comparable to the terms available to an
unrelated third party or to employees unrelated third parties or to employees generally. The Audit Committee may seek bids, quotes or
independent valuations from third parties in connection with assessing any related-person transaction; and
●to
the extent required to be disclosed in our applicable filings under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and related rules, management
must ensure that the related-person transaction is disclosed in accordance with such acts and related rules.
In
addition, the related-person transaction policy provides that from time-to-time Audit Committee shall review any previously approved
or ratified related-party transactions that remain ongoing and have a remaining term of more than six months or remaining amounts payable
to or receivable from the Company of more than $75,000. Based on all relevant facts and circumstances, taking into consideration the
Company’s contractual obligations, the Audit Committee shall determine if it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders
to continue, modify or terminate the related-person transaction.

Party Transactions
Operating
Agreement
We
operate our business through Greenlane Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries. The operations of Greenlane Holdings, LLC, are set forth in
the Greenlane Holdings, LLC’s Fourth Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, which we refer to as the “Operating Agreement.”
As of December 31, 2023, we are the sole member of Greenlane Holdings, LLC and hold all of the outstanding common units in Greenlane
Holdings, LLC.
Appointment
as Manager
We
are the sole manager of Greenlane Holdings, LLC. As the manager, we control all of the day-to-day business affairs and decision-making
of Greenlane Holdings, LLC. As such, we, through our officers and directors, are responsible for all operational and administrative decisions
of Greenlane Holdings, LLC and the day-to-day management of Greenlane Holdings, LLC’s business.
Compensation
We
are not entitled to compensation for our services as the manager. We are entitled to reimbursement by Greenlane Holdings, LLC for all
fees and expenses incurred on behalf of Greenlane Holdings, LLC, including all expenses associated with this offering and maintaining
our corporate existence, and all fees, expenses and costs of being a public company (including expenses incurred in connection with public
reporting obligations, proxy statements, stockholder meetings, stock exchange fees, transfer agent fees, legal fees, SEC and FINRA filing
fees and offering expenses) and maintaining our corporate existence, including all costs of maintaining our Board and committees of the
board, executive compensation and certain insurance policies.
Distributions
The
Operating Agreement requires “tax distributions,” as that term is defined in the Operating Agreement, to be made by
Greenlane Holdings, LLC to its “members,” as that term is defined in the Operating Agreement. Tax distributions will be
made at least annually based on such member’s allocable share of the taxable income of Greenlane Holdings, LLC and at a
commencing tax rate equal to the highest effective marginal combined federal, state and local income tax rate applicable to
corporate or individual taxpayers that may potentially apply to any member for the relevant period taking into account (i) any
deductions pursuant to Section 199A of the Code, and (ii) the character of the relevant tax items (e.g., ordinary or capital), as
we, as the sole manager of Greenlane Holdings, LLC, reasonably determine. For this purpose, the taxable income of Greenlane
Holdings, LLC, and our allocable share of such taxable income, shall be determined without regard to any tax basis adjustments that
result from our deemed or actual purchase of Common Units from the members (as described below under “— Tax Receivable
Agreement”). The tax rate used to determine tax distributions will apply regardless of the actual final tax liability of any
such member. Tax distributions will also be made only to the extent all distributions from Greenlane Holdings, LLC for the relevant
period were otherwise insufficient to enable each member to cover its tax liabilities as calculated in the manner described above.
The Operating Agreement also allows for distributions to be made by Greenlane Holdings, LLC to its members on a pro rata basis out
of “distributable cash,” as that term is defined in the Operating Agreement. We expect Greenlane Holdings, LLC may make
distributions out of distributable cash periodically to the extent permitted by the agreements governing its indebtedness and as
required by Greenlane Holdings, LLC for its capital and other needs, such that we in turn are able to make dividend payments, if
any, to the holders of our Class A Common Stock.
Dissolution
The
Operating Agreement provides that the decision of the manager will be required to voluntarily dissolve Greenlane Holdings, LLC. In addition
to a voluntary dissolution, Greenlane Holdings, LLC will be dissolved upon a change of control transaction under certain circumstances,
as well as upon the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution or other circumstances in accordance with Delaware law. Upon a dissolution
event, the proceeds of a liquidation will be distributed in the following order: (i) first, to pay all expenses of winding up Greenlane
Holdings, LLC; and (ii) second, to pay all debts and liabilities and obligations of Greenlane Holdings, LLC.
Indemnification
and Exculpation
The
Operating Agreement provides for indemnification for all expenses, liabilities and losses reasonably incurred by any person by reason
of the fact that such person is or was a member or is or was serving at the request of Greenlane Holdings, LLC as the manager, an officer,
an employee or an agent of Greenlane Holdings, LLC; provided, however, that there will be no indemnification for actions made not in
good faith or in a manner which the person did not reasonably believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Greenlane Holdings,
LLC, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding other than by or in the right of Greenlane Holdings, LLC, where the person
had reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful, or for breaches of any representations, warranties or covenants by such person
or its affiliates contained in the Operating Agreement or in other agreements with Greenlane Holdings, LLC.
We,
as the manager, and our affiliates, will not be liable to Greenlane Holdings, LLC for damages incurred by any acts or omissions as the
manager, provided that the acts or omissions of these exculpated persons are not the result of fraud, intentional misconduct, knowing
violations of law, or breaches of the Operating Agreement or other agreement with Greenlane Holdings, LLC.
72
Tax
Receivable Agreement
In
connection with our initial public offering we entered into a tax receivable agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) with
Greenlane Holdings, LLC and each of the members of Greenlane Holdings, LLC. We expect to obtain an increase in our share of the tax basis
of the assets of Greenlane Holdings, LLC when a member receives cash or shares of our Class A Common Stock in connection with a redemption
or exchange of such member’s Common Units for Class A Common Stock or cash (such basis increase, the “Basis Adjustments”).
We intend to treat such acquisition of Common Units as a direct purchase by us of Common Units or net capital assets from a member for
U.S. federal income and other applicable tax purposes, regardless of whether such Common Units are surrendered by a member to Greenlane
Holdings, LLC for redemption or sold to us upon the exercise of our election to acquire such Common Units directly. Basis Adjustments
may have the effect of reducing the amounts that we would otherwise pay in the future to various tax authorities. The Basis Adjustments
may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to
those capital assets.
The
Tax Receivable Agreement provides for the payment by us to such persons of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that we actually
realize, or in some circumstances are deemed to realize, as a result of the Transactions described above, including increases in the
tax basis of the assets of Greenlane Holdings, LLC arising from such Transactions, and tax basis increases attributable to payments made
under the Tax Receivable Agreement and deductions attributable to imputed interest and other payments of interest pursuant to the Tax
Receivable Agreement. Greenlane Holdings, LLC will have in effect an election under Section 754 of the Code effective for each taxable
year in which a redemption or exchange of Common Units for shares of our Class A Common Stock or cash occurs. These Tax Receivable Agreement
payments are not conditioned upon any continued ownership interest in either Greenlane Holdings, LLC or us by any member. The rights
of each member under the Tax Receivable Agreement are assignable by each member with our consent, which we may not unreasonably withhold,
so long as the assignee joins as a party to the Tax Receivable Agreement. We expect to benefit from the remaining 15% of tax benefits,
if any, that we may actually realize.
The
actual Basis Adjustments, as well as any amounts paid to the members under the Tax Receivable Agreement, will vary depending on a number
of factors, including:
●the
timing of any subsequent redemptions or exchanges — for instance, the increase in any tax deductions will vary depending
on the fair value, which may fluctuate over time, of the depreciable or amortizable assets of Greenlane Holdings, LLC at the time of
each redemption or exchange;
●the
price of shares of our Class A Common Stock at the time of redemptions or exchanges — the Basis Adjustments, as well
as any related increase in any tax deductions, is directly related to the price of shares of our Class A Common Stock at the time of
each redemption or exchange;
●the
extent to which such redemptions or exchanges are taxable — if a redemption or exchange is not taxable for any reason,
increased tax deductions will not be available; and
●the
amount and timing of our income — the Tax Receivable Agreement generally will require us to pay 85% of the tax benefits
as and when those benefits are treated as realized under the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement. If we do not have taxable income,
we generally will not be required (absent a change of control or other circumstances requiring an early termination payment) to make
payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for that taxable year because no tax benefits will have been actually realized. However,
any tax benefits that do not result in realized tax benefits in a given taxable year will likely generate tax attributes that may be
utilized to generate tax benefits in previous or future taxable years. The utilization of any such tax attributes will result in payments
under the Tax Receivable Agreement.
For
purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreement, cash savings in income and franchise tax are computed by comparing our actual income and franchise
tax liability to the amount of such taxes that we would have been required to pay had there been no Basis Adjustments and had the Tax
Receivable Agreement not been entered into. The Tax Receivable Agreement generally applies to each of our taxable years, beginning with
the first taxable year ending after the completion of this offering. There is no maximum term for the Tax Receivable Agreement; however,
the Tax Receivable Agreement may be terminated by us pursuant to an early termination procedure that requires us to pay the members an
agreed upon amount equal to the estimated present value of the remaining payments to be made under the agreement (calculated based on
certain assumptions, including regarding tax rates and utilization of the Basis Adjustments).
The
payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement are obligations of our company and not of Greenlane Holdings, LLC. Although the
actual timing and amount of any payments that may be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement will vary, we expect that the payments that
we may be required to make to the members could be substantial. Any payments made by us to members under the Tax Receivable Agreement
will generally reduce the amount of overall cash flow that might have otherwise been available to us or to Greenlane Holdings, LLC and,
to the extent that we are unable to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, the unpaid amounts generally will
be deferred and will accrue interest until paid by us.
73
Decisions
made by us in the course of running our business, such as with respect to mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations
or other changes in control, may influence the timing and amount of payments that are received by a member under the Tax Receivable Agreement.
For example, the earlier disposition of assets following a transaction that results in a Basis Adjustment will generally accelerate payments
under the Tax Receivable Agreement and increase the present value of such payments.
The
Tax Receivable Agreement provides that if (i) we materially breach any of our material obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement,
(ii) certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combination, or other changes of control were to occur, or (iii) we elect
an early termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement, then our obligations, or our successor’s obligations, under the Tax Receivable
Agreement would accelerate and become due and payable, based on certain assumptions, including an assumption that we would have sufficient
taxable income to fully utilize all potential future tax benefits that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement.
As
a result, (i) we could be required to make cash payments to the members that are greater than the specified percentage of the actual
benefits we ultimately realize in respect of the tax benefits that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement, and (ii) if we elect
to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement early, we would be required to make an immediate cash payment equal to the present value of
the anticipated future tax benefits that are the subject of the Tax Receivable Agreement, which payment may be made significantly in
advance of the actual realization, if any, of such future tax benefits. In these situations, our obligations under the Tax Receivable
Agreement could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing certain
mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combination, or other changes of control. There can be no assurance that we will be able
to finance our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement.
Payments
under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be based on the tax reporting positions that we determine. If any such position is subject to
a challenge by a taxing authority the outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially affect a recipient’s payments
under the Tax Receivable Agreement, then we will not be permitted to settle or fail to contest such challenge without the consent (not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of each member that directly or indirectly owns at least 10% of the outstanding Common Units.
We will not be reimbursed for any cash payments previously made to any member pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement if any tax benefits
initially claimed by us are subsequently challenged by a taxing authority and ultimately disallowed. Instead, in such circumstances,
any excess cash payments made by us to a member will be netted against any future cash payments that we might otherwise be required to
make under the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement. However, we might not determine that we have effectively made an excess cash payment
to the members for a number of years following the initial time of such payment and, if our tax reporting positions are challenged by
a taxing authority, we will not be permitted to reduce any future cash payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement until any such challenge
is finally settled or determined. As a result, it is possible that we could make cash payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement that
are substantially greater than our actual cash tax savings.
Payments
are generally due under the Tax Receivable Agreement within a specified period of time following the filing of our tax return for the
taxable year with respect to which the payment obligation arises, although interest on such payments will begin to accrue at a rate of
LIBOR plus 100 basis points from the due date (without extensions) of such tax return. Any late payments that may be made under the Tax
Receivable Agreement will continue to accrue interest at LIBOR plus 500 basis points until such payments are made, including any late
payments that we may subsequently make because we did not have enough available cash to satisfy our payment obligations at the time at
which they originally arose.
Indemnification
Agreements
Our
Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware
in effect from time to time, subject to certain exceptions contained in our Bylaws. In addition, our Charter provides that our directors
will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for any damages other than for breaches of fiduciary duty involving intentional
misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law.
We
have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our executive officers and directors. The indemnification agreements provide
the executive officers and directors with contractual rights to indemnification, and expense advancement and reimbursement, to the fullest
extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware in effect from time to time, subject to certain exceptions contained in those
agreements.
There
is no pending litigation or proceeding naming any of our directors or officers to which indemnification is being sought, and we are not
aware of any pending litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director or officer.
