Item 2.01.
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Reference is made to that certain Credit Agreement, dated December 16, 2021 (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Acreage Holdings Inc., as parent, High Street Capital Partners, LLC, as borrower, the other loan parties from time to time party thereto (collectively with High Street Capital Partners, LLC, the “Borrowers”), AFC Gamma, Inc. (the “Company”), as a lender, A BDC Warehouse II, LLC (“Warehouse”), as a lender, Viridescent Realty Trust, Inc. (“VRT”), as a lender, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”), AFC Agent LLC, as administrative agent, and VRT Agent LLC, as co-agent. Warehouse is an entity beneficially owned, in part, by Leonard M. Tannenbaum, a director of the Company and its Chief Executive Officer, Robyn Tannenbaum, the Company’s Managing Director, Head of Origination and Investor Relations, other members of the Tannenbaum family, Brett Kaufman, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and Jonathan Kalikow, a director of the Company and its Head of Real Estate.

On December 16, 2021, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement, which provides the Borrowers with a $100 million senior secured credit facility, pursuant to which, the Company committed $60 million, Warehouse committed $10 million, and VRT committed $30 million of the aggregate principal amount.  On the closing date, the Lenders collectively funded $75 million of the principal amount, with the Company funding approximately $42.5 million of such principal amount.  The Lenders are obligated to fund the remaining $25 million at any time on or prior to December 16, 2022 upon the Borrowers’ request subject to the terms and condition of the Credit Agreement.  The credit facility also includes an option for the Borrowers, upon their request and subject to their achievement of predetermined milestones and the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, to increase the amount of the credit facility by up to $50 million on or around December 16, 2022, to be funded by one or more of the Lenders.

The Lenders’ commitment under the Credit Agreement is secured by liens on substantially all assets of the Borrowers, including, in particular, owned real estate in several states.
