Item 1. Business

Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, references in this report to “Agrify”, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or similar references mean Agrify Corporation and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

Business Overview

Agrify is a developer of branded innovative solutions for the cannabis and hemp industries. Our Señorita brand offers consumers hemp-derived tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) beverages that mirror well-known cocktails like a margarita – in three flavors – classic Lime Jalapeño Margarita, Mango Margarita, and Paloma. Known for its clean, fresh taste and commitment to high-quality, natural ingredients, Señorita offers a low-sugar, low-calorie alternative to alcoholic beverages and is available at top retailers including Total Wine, ABC Fine Wine & Spirits, and Binny’s in nine U.S. states and Canada, with plans for expansion and future availability in premier on-premises destinations.

In addition to beverages, Agrify has also historically been a leading provider of innovative cultivation and extraction solutions for the cannabis industry. Our comprehensive extraction product line, which includes hydrocarbon, alcohol, solventless, post-processing, and lab equipment, empowers producers to maximize the quantity and quality of extract required for premium concentrates. Additionally, prior to its sale on December 31, 2024, our proprietary micro-environment-controlled Agrify Vertical Farming Units (“VFUs”) enabled cultivators to produce high quality products for the cannabis industry.

Corporate Developments

Sale of Cultivation Business

On December 31, 2024, we entered into and closed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Cultivation Purchase Agreement”) with CP Acquisitions, LLC (“CP”), an entity affiliated with Raymond Chang, our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Under the Cultivation Purchase Agreement, CP acquired assets from us relating to our VFU business, including the related Agrify total turnkey (“TTK”) solution assets and Agrify Insights TM software solutions (collectively, the “Cultivation Business”). The aggregate consideration received by us for the sale of the Cultivation Business consisted of the assumption by CP of (i) all of our obligations pursuant secured indebtedness then held by CP with an aggregate amount of principal and accrued interest of approximately $7 million, and (ii) certain other liabilities relating to the Cultivation Business.

February 2025 Changes in Directors

On February 5, 2025 the Company announced that Peter Shapiro and Sanjay Tolia were appointed to our Board of Directors (the “Board”) effective January 31, 2025. The Company also announced Richard Drexler’s departure from the Board effective as of January 31, 2025.

Señorita Acquisition

On December 12, 2024, we closed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) for the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Double or Nothing LLC (“Double or Nothing”) in connection with its Señorita brand of beverages containing hemp-derived cannabinoids. Under the Purchase Agreement, we acquired the Señorita brand of beverages and related assets from Double or Nothing relating to the portions of its business operating in compliance with Canadian law and under the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 (the “2018 Farm Bill”) and applicable state laws.

Private Placement

On November 20, 2024, we raised gross proceeds of approximately $25.9 million in a private placement following the closing of certain securities purchase agreements with institutional investors and other accredited investors. In connection with the private placement, we issued (i) 203,988 shares Common Stock and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 949,515 shares of common stock at a purchase price per share of Common Stock of $22.30 and a purchase price per pre-funded warrant of $22.2999.

Convertible Note

On November 5, 2024, we issued a Secured Convertible Note (the “Note”) to RSLGH, LLC (the “Investor”), a subsidiary of Green Thumb Industries Inc. (“Green Thumb”). The Note is a secured obligation and ranks senior to all of our indebtedness except for certain indebtedness set forth in the Note. The Note will mature on November 5, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”) and contains a 10.0% annualized interest rate, with interest to be paid on the first calendar day of each September and March while the Note is outstanding, in cash, beginning January 1, 2025. The principal amount of the Note will be payable on the Maturity Date.

2024 Board and Management Changes

Also on November 5, 2024, immediately following the issuance of the Note, Raymond Chang, our prior CEO and Chairman, resigned as a member of the Board and any subsidiaries and as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and I-Tseng Jenny Chan resigned as a member of the Board. Benjamin Kovler, Armon Vakili and Richard Drexler replaced Raymond Chang and I-Tseng Jenny Chan on the Board and Benjamin Kovler assumed the position of Interim CEO.

Effective May 17, 2024, Leonard Sokolow resigned as a member of the Board and its committees. Effective December 3, 2024, Brian Towns resigned from his roles as the Company’s Executive Vice President and General Manager of Extraction Division to pursue other opportunities. On December 31, 2024, in connection with the Cultivation Purchase Agreement, David Kessler ceased serving as the Company’s Chief Science Officer, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Cultivation.

Lines of Business

Hemp-Derived Beverages

We acquired the Señorita brand of hemp-derived THC beverages in December 2024. Señorita was designed and formulated by world-class winemakers Charles Bieler and Joel Gott. Recognizing a growing generational demand for adult beverage alternatives, Bieler and Gott gave the classic margarita a modern twist—replacing alcohol with hemp-derived THC to create a delightful, hangover-free beverage alternative. Through the use of all-natural, premium ingredients like organic Mexican agave, fresh lime juice and sweet, tangy mango, Señorita quickly gained acclaim, taking home the top spot in The High Times Cannabis Cup just one year after inception. Gott and Bieler continue to collaborate on the brand with Mr. Kovler and the Agrify team.

Señorita currently offers three award-winning flavors – classic Lime Jalapeño Margarita, Mango Margarita and Paloma. A fourth flavor, low-calorie Ranch Water, is expected to debut in 2025. Señorita’s hemp-derived beverages comply with the 2018 Farm Bill and are currently available at top retailers including Total Wine, ABC Fine Wine & Spirits, and Binny’s in nine U.S. states and Canada. Products are also available for direct-to-consumer purchase where permissible under state law at senoritadrinks.com.

Extraction Solutions

Our extraction equipment and business solutions can be used within indoor processing facilities by fully licensed cannabis and hemp cultivators and processors or in some cases, by individual processors for individual use in compliance with applicable law. We sell our proprietary extraction solutions to independent, licensed cultivators and processing labs.

In light of our increased focus on hemp-derived beverages following the Señorita acquisition, the Board is exploring a variety of alternatives for the extraction business while focusing on optimizing shareholder value creation.

We strategically acquired four of the top brands in the extraction space in late 2021 and early 2022: in Precision Extraction, PurePressure, Lab Society, and Cascade Sciences. These iconic brands encompass everything from hydrocarbon, alcohol, and solventless extraction to distillation and post-processing. Combined, these four acquisitions provided what we believed to be one of the most comprehensive extraction solutions from a single provider. Our extraction brands provide equipment and solutions for extraction, post-processing, and testing for the cannabis and hemp industries. The extraction, post-processing and testing services are complementary and highly attractive areas of the supply chain.

Cultivation Solutions

Prior to its sale on December 31, 2024, we sold proprietary cultivation solutions to independent licensed cultivators. The two primary products we sold were the VFUs and Agrify Insights™ software.

The proprietary VFU technology offered a modular, compartmentalized micro-climate growing system for indoor vertical farming. The VFU system was designed for craft farmers, single-state operators, and multi-state operators who were looking to consistently produce higher-quality crops at scale. The VFUs were designed to line up horizontally in rows, and could be stacked vertically up to three units tall.

The VFUs were designed to work in conjunction with the Agrify Insights™ software. Each VFU sold included a license for Agrify Insights™ and a monthly Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) subscription fee was charged per VFU. The VFU could not operate successfully without Agrify Insights™, and we typically charged between $1,500 to $2,400 per VFU sold annually. Agrify Insights™ license agreements were generally for a multi-year term, with an annual auto-renewal.

TTK Solution

The Company’s TTK solution was the industry’s first-of-its-kind program in which the Company engaged with qualified cannabis operators in the early phases of their business plans and provides critical support, typically over a 10-year period, which includes: access to capital for construction costs, the design and build-out of their cultivation and extraction facilities, state-of-the-art cultivation and extraction equipment, subscription to the Company’s Agrify Insights™, process design, training, implementation, proven grow recipes, product formulations, data analytics, and consumer branding. While we have not entered into any new TTK solutions during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and will not in the future, we have previously deployed this program with certain key former customers. The data-driven TTK solution for cultivation solutions enabled our customers to get to market faster by providing them with seamlessly integrated hardware and software offerings as well as access to capital and a wide range of associated services from experts including consulting, training, design, engineering, and construction.

Regulatory Landscape Overview

The regulatory landscape for products infused with hemp-derived delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol and other psychoactive cannabinoids (collectively “hemp-derived THC”) is a source of material risk for the Company. While the 2018 Farm Bill both defined and legalized hemp under federal law, the subsequent use of hemp to make psychoactive or intoxicating consumer products created an unexpected new market. This market mirrors the state-legal and federally illegal cannabis industry, but without the rigid regulations and heavy tax burdens and without the prohibition on interstate shipping. As the industry expanded, lawmakers at the federal, state, and local levels raised concerns about minors’ easy access to these products, inadequate testing, and the need for regulations governing the manufacturing, marketing, testing, sale, and transportation of hemp products. As a result, to date, several states have passed laws regulating, restricting, or banning hemp-derived THC products. In addition, during each renewal of the 2018 Farm Bill, legislators proposed amendments that would make hemp-derived delta-9 THC products federally illegal. Although these amendments have not passed, the 2018 Farm Bill is set to expire on September 30, 2025, and additional amendments seeking to curtail the hemp industry could be introduced. All of this creates significant uncertainty for Agrify’s business of manufacturing, marketing and selling hemp-derived delta-9 THC products.

Competitive Landscape Overview

The U.S. cannabis and cannabis-related industries are, and are expected to continue to be, competitive. A number of other companies engage in, and may in the future engage in, cannabis-related businesses, operate businesses in competition with us and purchase businesses and assets or make investments that we will also seek to purchase or make. We face and expect to continue to face competition from state-licensed medical and adult-use dispensaries.

Large chain stores, manufacturers, retailers, beverage and other consumer products companies that also recognize the potential for financial success through acquisitions and investment in the hemp-derived beverage industry could strategically acquire competitors or invest in creating their own brands. In doing so, these larger competitors could produce and sell competing products at a lower price and establish a larger brand presence. We may not have the personnel, products, marketing and distribution capabilities, and/or financial resources to compete effectively against such larger competitors.

We also face competition from the illicit market and illegal dispensaries and cultivation operations that are unlicensed, not regulated and that are selling cannabis or hemp products. Any inability or unwillingness of law enforcement authorities to enforce existing laws prohibiting the unlicensed production and sale of cannabis or hemp products could result in increased competition for us.

Intellectual Property

We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret, including federal, state and common law rights in the U.S. and other countries, nondisclosure agreements, and other measures to protect our intellectual property. We require our employees, consultants, and advisors to execute confidentiality agreements and to agree to disclose and assign to us all inventions conceived under their respective employment, consultant, or advisor agreement, using our property, or which relate to our business. Despite any measures taken to protect our intellectual property, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Our business is affected by our ability to protect against misappropriation and infringement of our intellectual property, including our trademarks, service marks, patents, domain names, copyrights and other proprietary rights.

Human Capital Resources

As of March 15, 2025, we had a total of 11 employees, all of whom were employed full-time. None of our employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements. In addition, we rely on a shared services agreement with Green Thumb to provide much of our human capital needs.

Environmental Regulations

We are not aware of any environmental laws that have been enacted, nor are we aware of any such laws being contemplated for the future, that directly impact our business.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, which we refer to as the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to other companies that are not emerging growth companies. Accordingly, for so long as we are an “emerging growth company,” we will not be required to:

●engage an auditor to report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
●comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);
●submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay,” “say-on-frequency,” and “say-on-golden parachutes;” or
●disclose certain executive compensation-related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and the comparison of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.

In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest to occur of:

●our reporting $1 billion or more in annual gross revenues;
●our issuance, in a three-year period, of more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt;
●the end of the fiscal year in which the market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter; and
●December 31, 2026.

We cannot predict if investors will find our securities less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions, which could result in a less active trading market for our securities and increased volatility in the price of our securities.

Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company” (and may continue to qualify as such even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company) and accordingly may provide less public disclosure than larger public companies, including the inclusion of only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations disclosure. As a result, the information that we provide to our stockholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.
