Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders

Reverse Share Split

The board of directors of Clever Leaves Holdings Inc., a company organized under the laws of British Columbia, Canada (the “Company”) has approved a reverse share split of the Company’s common shares, without par value (the “Shares”), at a ratio of one Share for every 30 Shares presently owned (the “Reverse Share Split”). The Reverse Share Split will take effect at approximately 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 24, 2023 (the “Effective Time”). At the market open on August 25, 2023, the Shares are expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis under a new CUSIP number.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Share Split. Instead, pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), each fractional share remaining after completion of the Reverse Share Split that is less than half of a whole Share will be rounded down and canceled without consideration to the holders thereof and each fractional share that is at least half of a whole Share will be rounded up to one whole Share.

The Reverse Share Split will apply to all of the Company’s outstanding Shares as of the Effective Time and therefore will not affect any shareholder’s ownership percentage of the Shares, except for changes as a result of the elimination of fractional shares. The Reverse Share Split will not alter the voting rights or other rights attached to the Shares.

Shareholders of record will receive information from Computershare Investor Services Inc., the Company’s transfer agent, regarding their Share ownership following the Reverse Share Split. Shareholders who hold their Shares in brokerage accounts or in “street name” are not required to take any action in connection with the Reverse Share Split.

As a result of the Reverse Share Split, at the Effective Time, the number of outstanding Shares will be reduced from approximately 45.7 million to approximately 1.5 million, based on the number of Shares outstanding as of August 10, 2023.

The Reverse Share Split is intended to help the Company regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”), as previously disclosed on the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on September 29, 2022 and March 30, 2023. If at any time before September 25, 2023, the closing bid price of the Shares is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance. If compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement cannot be demonstrated by September 25, 2023, the Staff will provide written notification that the Company’s securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or maintain its listing on Nasdaq.

Adjustment to Warrants and Equity Plan Awards

At the Effective Time, the exercise price of the Company’s outstanding warrants and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise thereof will be adjusted to reflect the Reverse Share Split pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, dated as December 10, 2018, as amended.

At the Effective Time, the maximum number of Shares issuable under each of the Company’s 2020 Incentive Award Plan, as amended (the “Incentive Award Plan”), and the Company’s 2020 Earnout Award Plan (the “Earnout Plan” and together, the “Plans”) will be equitably adjusted to reflect the Reverse Share Split.

The number of Shares underlying each award of restricted share units (whether vesting based on time or performance) issued under the Plans that are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Reverse Share Split will be ratably adjusted to reflect the Reverse Share Split.

Each award of restricted share units issued under the Earnout Award Plan that vests based on the achievement by the Company of certain threshold Share prices, outstanding as of immediately prior to the Reverse Share Split, will have its Share price targets ratably adjusted to reflect the Reverse Share Split.

The number of Shares underlying stock option awards issued under the Incentive Award Plan that are outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Reverse Share Split and the exercise price of such stock options will be ratably adjusted to reflect the Reverse Share Split.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.





On August 24, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing the effectiveness of the Reverse Share Split described in this Current Report of Form 8-K (this “Current Report”). A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated by reference into Item 7.01 of this Current Report.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes certain statements that are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements within the meaning of United States federal securities laws. You should not place undue reliance on such statements because they are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the Company’s control and could cause the Company’s actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties relating to the proposed Reverse Share Split, its impact, if any, on the Company and the trading price of the Company’s Shares and warrants, the Company’s ability to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements and the administrative processes related thereto. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “could,” “may,” “would,” “should,” “intend,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “forecast,” “will,” “expect,” “budget,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” “project,” “positioned,” “strategy,” “outlook” and similar expressions. Additional risk factors are described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2023 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, filed with the SEC on August 14, 2023. The Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect changes and new developments except as required by law or regulation.
