One World Products, Inc.

Overview

On February 21, 2019, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with OWP Merger Subsidiary, Inc. (“OWP Merger Sub), our wholly-owned subsidiary, and OWP Ventures, Inc. (“OWP Ventures”). Under the Merger Agreement, the acquisition of OWP Ventures by us was effected by the merger of OWP Merger Sub with and into OWP Ventures, with OWP Ventures being the surviving entity as our wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). The closing (the “Closing”) of the Merger occurred on February 21, 2019.

Immediately prior to the Closing, we were a public “shell” company with nominal assets. As of the Closing, we are no longer a public shell. As a result of the Merger, we are engaged in OWP Ventures’ business, including the business of its wholly-owned subsidiary, One World Pharma, S.A.S., a Colombian company (“OWP SAS”). On November 23, 2021, we changed our name from One World Pharma, Inc. to One World Products, Inc. through the merger of One World Products, Inc., a recently formed Nevada corporation wholly-owned by us, with and into us. This merger was effected solely to effect the change of our name, and had no effect on our officers, directors, operations, assets or liabilities.

On June 3, 2020, Isiah L. Thomas, III was appointed to serve as our Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman. Mr. Thomas was a 12-time NBA All Star, two-time NBA champion, and is an accomplished international business executive. In 2021, through ISIAH International, LLC, of which he is the sole member, Mr. Thomas purchased $3,000,000 of our Series B Preferred Stock in installments over a period of time ending in July 2021.

On December 22, 2023, OWP SAS, filed for protection under Colombian Law 1116 of 2006, which is the primary legislation governing business insolvency proceedings (restructuring and liquidation) (“Reorganization Proceedings”) in Colombia. The Reorganization Proceeds are similar to Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States, whereby the Company intended to restructure its debts and continue to operate.

However, effective October 1, 2024, OWP Colombia entered into a liquidation proceeding pursuant to Colombian Law 1116 of 2006, under which the creditors of a company can request “judicial liquidation” of such company. The proceeding is expected to last approximately one year. The proceeding was submitted to the Superintendent of Corporations of Colombia as a substitute to the reorganization proceedings previously filed on December 22, 2023.

OWP SAS now has no revenue-producing operations. The Company’s primary operations during the fourth quarter of 2023, and through 2024, have consisted of activities associated with completing the Liquidation Proceedings, resolving substantial litigation, claims reconciliation, terminating operations and liquidating its assets, which primarily consist of the farm in Popayán and equipment.

During March of 2024, the Company, through OWP Ventures, began to sell a CBD based product in the United States, called Pro-11. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company began to redesign the packaging and engaged a sales representative to focus greater resources on bringing this product to market.

The Company is developing its industrial hemp solutions business targeting the automotive market. The Company intends to focus on research and development in this area to take advantage of the automotive industry’s effort in achieving carbon neutral manufacturing using renewable material solutions. In October of 2024, the Company, in collaboration with partners in the automotive industry, developed hemp-based molded containers for automotive part packaging applications and received an initial order for 1,400 units of these reusable totes, designed to move and protect automotive parts through the supply chain.

Products

Our business currently involves the sale of CBD based product in the United States, called Pro-11. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company began to redesign the packaging and engaged a sales representative to focus greater resources on bringing this product to market.

Regulation

Our primary active business operations are currently the sale of cannabidiol (CBD) products derived from hemp. We comply with the U.S. federal regulations under the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (commonly known as the 2018 Farm Bill). All CBD used in our products is sourced from hemp that contains no more than 0.3% THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) by dry weight, in accordance with federal law. However, CBD regulations vary by state and may be subject to change. It is the responsibility of the consumer to understand and comply with local, state, and federal laws regarding the purchase, possession, and use of CBD products.

Intellectual Property

Our success depends, at least in part, on our ability to protect our core technology and intellectual property. To accomplish this, we rely on trade secrets, including know-how, employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements and other contractual rights to establish and protect our proprietary rights in our technology.

Seasonality

The natural growth and harvest cycle of the Cannabis sativa plant when cultivated for industrial purposes (fiber, seed, or CBD) depends largely on climate and geographic location, but generally for temperate regions (like much of North America and Europe) the planting season is from late April to June, the growing season is generally from May to August and the harvest season is from August to October.

Principal Executive Offices

Our principal executive offices are located at 6605 Grand Montecito Pkwy, Suite 100, Las Vegas, Nevada 89149. Our telephone number is (800) 605-3210. We believe our facilities are adequate to meet our current and near-term needs.

Employees

As of December 31, 2024, we had 2 full-time employees. Since inception, we have never had a work stoppage, other than due to the Covid-19 quarantine from March 2020 through May 25, 2020, and our employees are not represented by labor unions. We consider our relationship with our employees to be positive.
