Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on December 20, 2019, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a strategic alliance (the “Strategic Alliance”) with Edible Arrangements, LLC (“EA”) and Farids & Co. LLC (“Farids”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company became the exclusive provider of certain branded chocolate products to EA, its affiliates and its franchisees. In connection with the Strategic Alliance, the Company entered into a strategic alliance agreement (the “Agreement”) with EA and Farids, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to issue and sell 126,839 shares (the “Purchased Shares”) of the Company’s common stock to Farids, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions.

On April 20, 2020, Farids notified the Company that Farids would not be purchasing the Purchased Shares as the Company was unable to make the representation set forth in Section 3.1(g) of the Agreement, which was a condition to the issuance and sale of the Purchased Shares. The impact of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) and the resulting governmental shelter-in-place orders and economic shutdown have created a material adverse change in the financial condition and business of the Company since the date of its most recent financial statements included in its SEC Reports (as defined in the Agreement). The other terms of the Agreement and the Strategic Alliance remain unchanged.
