Sourcing and Vendors

 

We source from multiple suppliers. These suppliers range from small independent businesses to multinational conglomerates. A supplier is considered a concentration if it accounts for 10% or more of total purchases in a period. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, approximately 14% of our total purchases were from UNFI, and 26% of our total purchases were from Kehe Distributors, LLC (“KeHe”). For the three months ended March 31, 2024, approximately 37% of our total purchases were from UNFI. No other supplier exceeded 10% of total purchases in either period.

 

Spin-Off

 

Healthier Choices Management Corp. (“HCMC” or the “Parent”) announced on August 22, 2022 that its Board of Directors approved the separation of the grocery business, including wellness business, into an independent, publicly traded company (the “Spin-Off” or “Separation”). Prior to the Spin-Off, HCWC was a subsidiary under HCMC, which operated the Ada’s Natural Market, Paradise Health & Nutrition, Mother Earth’s Storehouse, Greens Natural Foods, Ellwood Thompson’s, and GreenAcres Market retail brands, as well as licensed wellness centers and Healthy U Wholesale.

 

On September 13, 2024 (the “Spin-Off Date”), after the New York Stock Exchange American (“NYSEAM”) market closing, the Spin-Off of the HCWC business was completed. On September 14, 2024, HCWC became an independent, publicly traded company, and on September 16, 2024, the stock commenced trading on the NYSEAM under the stock symbol “HCWC.”

 

HCMC distributed all the outstanding shares of common stock held by it on a pro rata basis to holders of HCMC’s common stock. For each 208,632 shares of HCMC common stock held as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 9, 2024, the record date for the Spin-Off (the “Record Date”), a HCMC stockholder was entitled to receive one (1) share of Class A common stock and three (3) shares of Class B common stock. The Distribution was made in book-entry form by a distribution agent as soon as practicable after the date of the Distribution.

 

HCMC has secured binding commitments of $13.25 million in equity financing for HCWC from the same group of investors that invested $13.25 million in HCMC Series E Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement for the HCMC Series E Stock (“HCMC Series E SPA”), the purchasers of HCMC Series E Stock will also be required to purchase Series A Preferred Stock of HCWC in the same subscription amounts that the Purchasers paid for the HCMC Series E Stock (regardless of whether or not such HCMC Series E Stock has been converted into HCMC common stock).
