In February 2019, the Company's CEO contributed assets of certain businesses to PHOT (a subsidiary of the Company). In consideration, PHOT issued redeemable preferred equity interest (preferred units) to the CEO and COO of the Company. These preferred units were eligible to receive up to $4.5 million in profits earned by PHOT plus an annual preferred yield of 6% on undistributed amounts.

On May 30, 2024, the Company approved the redemption of certain preferred units of PHOT either in cash or in exchange for shares of its common stock. The redemption value of these preferred units was $5.9 million and exchange ratio was established based on the 30 days volume weighted average close price adjusted for market illiquidity. During 2024, preferred units held by the CEO were redeemed for $2.1 million in cash and those held by the Chief Operating Officer were redeemed by issuance of 408,013 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $1.5 million. There was no subsequent activity as of December 31, 2025.
