Lease and Purchase of 5511 95th Avenue, Kenosha, Wisconsin 53144
Toward the end of 2020, NWarrender, through his assigned entity 95th Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”), purchased the building located at 5511 95th Avenue, Kenosha, Wisconsin 53144 (“5511 Building”) that was immediately leased to us to conduct our expanded operations. The 5511 Building includes office, laboratory and warehouse space. As part of the lease agreement with Holdings, the parties agreed that Lifted would eventually purchase the 5511 Building. The purchase price for the 5511 Building was originally subject to variation based on a formula agreed upon by the parties. Pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement with NWarrender on December 30, 2021, Lifted was obligated to purchase the 5511 Building from Holdings on or before December 31, 2022 for a fixed purchase price of $1,375,000.
Pursuant to an Acceleration Agreement, the deadline to purchase the 5511 Building was extended by one year to December 31, 2023. In addition, the Acceleration Agreement contained a provision that if the Company raised $5,000,000 of debt or equity capital, then Lifted or our designee would be obligated to purchase the 5511 Building from Holdings at the agreed upon $1,375,000 purchase price within two days.
On December 14, 2023, LFTD Partners and Lifted (together the “Borrower”), jointly borrowed a total of $3,910,000 from Surety Bank, of DeLand, Florida (“Lender”), and simultaneously Lifted purchased the 5511 Building from Holdings for $1,375,000 as previously agreed upon.

Related Party Note
On April 1, 2025, the Company converted $350,000 of its cash into USD Coin (USDC), a digital stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar. Shortly thereafter, the digital wallet containing the USDC was compromised by an unauthorized and unknown third party, resulting in the theft of the full amount. The Company promptly reported the incident to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and continues to cooperate fully in the ongoing investigation. The Company’s outside law firm is also advising the Company regarding the matter. At this time, the Company is doubtful whether any of the stolen funds will be recovered. On April 22, 2025, the Company borrowed $350,000 from Beachin Company, an affiliate of the Company’s CEO and CFO (the “Related Party Note”). The $350,000 loan did not bear interest, and was repaid by the Company using funds that otherwise would have been paid to the Company’s CEO and CFO in the form of salary or bonuses pursuant to their employment agreements with the Company.
