Acquisition synergies

Acquisition synergies refer to the benefits that arise from combining two companies through a merger or acquisition, resulting in a value greater than the sum of their individual parts. These synergies can take various forms, including:

Revenue Synergies

Greater market share and brand recognition
Cross-selling, upselling, and product bundling opportunities

“ Cross-selling is the practice of offering customers additional products or services that complement their original purchase.

Example: Omega 3&6 with +Plus CBD.

Geographic expansion and new distribution channels
Pricing power from reduced competition
Access to new end markets and customer types

Cost Synergies

Elimination of overlapping workforce functions and reduced headcount
Cost-savings from reduced professional services fees
Closure or consolidation of redundant facilities
Negotiating leverage over suppliers

Streamlined internal processes and integration of operational “best-practices”

Financial Synergies

Leveraging tax losses or credits from one entity to offset another’s income
Improving one’s debt capacity via greater scale, diversification, and steady cash flows
Lowering the cost of capital and facilitating a more efficient customer acquisition strategy“

“Acquisition synergies” would include: not needing overlapping accounting, marketing, sales and possibly other roles. They better share services by companies consolidation of roles, both companies are small.

Looks like the $900k net from the note is just to cover the annual salaries and bonuses of Dowling and Grasser...Also worth noting is that if there is a change of control, Dowling would get $600k and Grasser would get $470k...
On June 20, 2024, CV Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a new Executive Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Joseph Dowling, the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer. This Agreement supersedes and replaces the existing Executive Employment Agreement, dated June 23, 2021, as modified per that certain Amendment No. 1 to the Executive Employment Agreement dated January 5, 2023, by and between the Company and Mr. Dowling.

Mr. Dowling will continue to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement. The Agreement has a three-year term and provides for an annual base salary of $300,000 (the “Base Salary”), which amount shall be subject to annual adjustment as approved by the Company's Board of Directors ("Board").

Under the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Dowling is also entitled to receive annual bonuses based on the Company’s performance and/or Mr. Dowling’s performance, subject to approval by the Board. If certain performance goals are met, Mr. Dowling would be entitled to receive a performance bonus, with a target amount of 50% of his then effective Base Salary; provided, however, that the payment and amount of such bonus shall be in the sole discretion of the Board. The Company may also propose new performance goals for purposes of determining additional annual bonuses payable to Mr. Dowling. Mr. Dowling shall also be eligible to participate in the Company’s equity, compensation, and incentive plans as are generally made available to the Company’s management executives; may be eligible to receive incentive stock options or other stock awards under the Company’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, as determined by the Board; shall be entitled to a minimum of twenty days of annual paid vacation time exclusive of holidays; and shall be entitled to receive certain other perquisites, as set forth in the Agreement.
In the event the Agreement is terminated upon consummation of a change of control, the Company shall pay Mr. Dowling all salary then due and payable through the date of termination and all unpaid deferred compensation. In addition, the Company shall pay Mr. Dowling a lump sum cash payment equal to two (2) times the Base Salary.
Mr. Grasser will continue to serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer pursuant to the terms and conditions of the CFO Agreement. The CFO Agreement has a three-year term and provides for an annual base salary of $235,000 (the “CFO Base Salary”), which amount shall be subject to annual adjustment as approved by the Board.

Under the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Grasser is also entitled to receive annual bonuses based on the Company’s performance and/or Mr. Grasser's performance, subject to approval by the Board. If certain performance goals are met, Mr. Grasser would be entitled to receive a performance bonus, with a target amount of 20% of his then effective CFO Base Salary; provided, however, that the payment and amount of such bonus shall be in the sole discretion of the Company’s Board. The Company may also propose new performance goals for purposes of determining additional annual bonuses payable to Mr. Grasser. Mr. Grasser shall also be eligible to participate in the Company’s equity, compensation, and incentive plans as are generally made available to the Company’s management executives; may be eligible to receive incentive stock options or other stock awards under the Company’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, as determined by the Board; shall be entitled to a minimum of twenty days of annual paid vacation time exclusive of holidays; and shall be entitled to receive other perquisites, as set forth in the CFO Agreement.
In the event the CFO Agreement is terminated upon consummation of a change of control, the Company shall pay Mr. Grasser all salary then due and payable through the date of termination and all unpaid deferred compensation. In addition, the Company shall pay Mr. Grasser a lump sum cash payment equal to two (2) times the CFO Base Salary.

U.S. Supreme Court to Hear Hemp Case

For the first time since the 2018 Farm Bill became law, the U.S. Supreme Court will decide a case about hemp. The case—Medical Marijuana, Inc., et al. v. Douglas J. Horn—involves the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”) and asks whether product manufacturers can be held responsible for a person’s lost earnings and other job benefits under that powerful statute.

The plaintiff is a commercial truck driver who was fired for failing a random drug test after taking a CBD product that was marketed as THC-free. The plaintiff then filed a RICO claim and state law claims against the companies that marketed the CBD product. He asserted that his lost job earnings and benefits are “business or property” damages that are recoverable under RICO.

The federal district court dismissed the plaintiff’s RICO claim, finding for the companies that RICO does not provide for personal injury losses. However, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the district court and reinstated the RICO claim. The Supreme Court agreed to take up the case. If the Supreme Court affirms the Second Circuit’s ruling, the plaintiff could recover up to three times his lost earnings, plus attorney’s fees.

Earlier this week, the Roundtable filed a “friend of the court” brief supporting the defendants’ position that Congress did not intend RICO to apply to personal injury losses. As the brief argues, expanding RICO has major implications for the hemp products industry. Increased costs will be passed on to consumers, potentially making products unavailable to people who need them. And worse, more liability may cause manufacturers, distributors, or retailers to exit the industry entirely, which will reduce economic opportunities for hemp farmers and businesses.
