Charlotte’s Web Holdings issues $750,000 loan to DeFloria joint venture

Charlotte’s Web Holdings, Inc. (OTCQX:OTC:CWBHF) announced Monday it has entered into a promissory note to loan $750,000 to DeFloria Inc., a Delaware-based joint venture formed with AJNA BioSciences PBC and a subsidiary of British American Tobacco PLC (LSE:BATS, NYSE:NYSE:BTI). British American Tobacco, currently rated as fairly valued according to InvestingPro analysis, brings significant financial strength to the venture with $11 billion in revenue and a solid current ratio of 1.56. The information is based on a press release statement included in a recent SEC filing.

According to the filing, Charlotte’s Web Holdings acts as lender under the note, which was executed on July 15. The loan and any accrued interest are due upon the later of December 31, 2026, or the date the company issues and sells at least $10 million of newly authorized preferred units or similar securities in a bona fide financing transaction. InvestingPro analysis shows BAT (LON:BATS) maintains a Financial Health Score of ’FAIR’, with an EBITDA of $69.47 million, suggesting stable operational performance. The note outlines that, in the event of default by DeFloria—including failure to pay amounts within three business days of their due date or breaches of obligations under transaction documents—Charlotte’s Web Holdings is entitled to exercise its rights under the agreement.

DeFloria Inc. was formed in April 2023 by Charlotte’s Web Holdings, AJNA BioSciences, and a subsidiary of British American Tobacco. BAT holds 100% equity interest in the preferred units of DeFloria, while Charlotte’s Web Holdings and AJNA each hold approximately 50% of the voting common units.

No additional financial terms were disclosed in the public portion of the filing. The full terms of the promissory note are included as an exhibit to the SEC filing. Charlotte’s Web Holdings is incorporated in British Columbia and has its principal executive offices in Louisville, Colorado.
