Subscription Agreements

On October 20, 2025, Greenlane Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into subscription agreements (the “Cash Subscription Agreements”) with certain accredited investors (the “Cash Subscribers”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue to the Cash Subscribers in a private placement offering (the “Cash Offering”) an aggregate offering of (i) 3,068,012 shares (the “Cash Shares”) of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an offering price of $3.84 per share (the “Cash Purchase Price”), and (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Cash Pre-Funded Warrants” and, together with the Common Stock, the “Cash Securities”) to purchase 10,045,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Cash Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”) at a purchase price equal to the Cash Purchase Price less $0.01 per Cash Pre-Funded Warrant. In the Cash Offering, the Cash Subscribers will tender any of U.S. dollars, USDC or USDT (or a combination thereof) to the Company as consideration for the Cash Securities.

Each of the Cash Pre-Funded Warrants is exercisable for one share of Common Stock at the remaining exercise price of $0.01 per Cash Pre-Funded Warrant Share, and may be exercised at any time following the closing of the Cash Offering until all of the Cash Pre-Funded Warrants issued in the Cash Offering are exercised in full. Each Cash Subscriber’s ability to exercise its Cash Pre-Funded Warrants in exchange for shares of Common Stock is subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations set forth therein.

On October 20, 2025, the Company also entered into subscription agreements (the “Cryptocurrency Subscription Agreements” and, together with the Cash Subscription Agreements, the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain accredited investors (the “Cryptocurrency Subscribers” and, together with the Cash Subscribers, the “Subscribers”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue to the Cryptocurrency Subscribers in a private placement offering (the “Cryptocurrency Offering” and, together with the Cash Offering, the “Offerings”) pre-funded warrants (the “Cryptocurrency Pre-Funded Warrants” and, together with the Cash Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase 15,504,902 shares of Common Stock (the “Cryptocurrency Pre-Funded Warrant Shares” and, together with the Cash Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”) which the native digital asset of the Berachain blockchain, referred to as BERA (“BERA”), will be valued for purposes of the Cryptocurrency Subscription Agreements at $1.9477 for Cryptocurrency Subscribers (based on the seven day trailing VWAP using Binance 1-hour Kline data), or $0.9836 in the case of the Berachain Foundation (representing a 49.5% discount). The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.01 per share. In the Cryptocurrency Offering, the Cryptocurrency Subscribers will tender either Unlocked BERA tokens or Locked BERA tokens to the Company as consideration for the Cryptocurrency Pre-Funded Warrants.

The exercise of the Cryptocurrency Pre-Funded Warrants into Cryptocurrency Pre-Funded Warrant Shares is subject to stockholder approval (“Stockholder Approval”) and such warrants will not be exercisable for Common Stock until such Stockholder Approval is received. Pursuant to the Cryptocurrency Subscription Agreement, the Company will hold a special meeting of stockholders to obtain Stockholder Approval as soon as practicable after the closing date of the Offerings. Each of the Cryptocurrency Pre-Funded Warrants is exercisable for one share of Common Stock at the exercise price of $0.01 per Cryptocurrency Pre-Funded Warrant Share, immediately exercisable following Stockholder Approval (the “Effective Date”), and may be exercised at any time on or after the Effective Date until all of the Cryptocurrency Pre-Funded Warrants issued in the Offerings are exercised in full. Each Cryptocurrency Subscriber’s ability to exercise its Cryptocurrency Pre-Funded Warrants in exchange for shares of Common Stock is subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations set forth therein.

The Company raised proceeds of approximately $110 million in the Offerings. In connection with the Offerings, the Company adopted a digital asset treasury strategy under which the principal holding will be BERA, the native digital asset of the Berachain blockchain.

Aegis Capital Corp. served as exclusive placement agent to the Company in connection with the Offerings.

The Cash Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrants, and the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares are being offered in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirement of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and applicable state securities laws. The issuance of the Cash Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrants, and the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

The closing of the Offerings is expected to occur on or about October 23, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Company intends to use the net cash proceeds from the Offerings to fund the acquisition of BERA through open market purchases only and the establishment of the Company’s BERA treasury operations, as well as for working capital, general corporate purposes and to pay all transaction fees and expenses related thereto. The Company will maintain the net proceeds of the Offerings in a separate account and shall not commingle such net proceeds with any other proceeds received by the Company from any other financing or capital raising activities. Each of the Company’s directors and officers, Polychain (as defined below), and the Berachain Foundation have agreed to not sell, transfer, pledge, hedge, or otherwise dispose of any Company securities for a period of 180 days after the date of the Subscription Agreements pursuant to lock-up agreements to be entered into in connection with the Offerings (the “Lock-up Agreements”).

On October 20, 2025, the Company also entered into a placement agent agreement (the “Placement Agreement”) with Aegis Capital Corp. (“Aegis” or the “Placement Agent”), pursuant to which the Company engaged Aegis to act as its sole placement agent in connection with the offering. Pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agreement, the Placement Agent agreed to use its best efforts to arrange for the sale of the Securities in the offering. As compensation to the Placement Agent, the Company paid the Placement Agent placement commission equal to 2% of the Placement (or 1.0% placement commission for any investors introduced by the Company, Polychain or the Berachain Foundation (or any affiliate of any of the foregoing) to Aegis), plus an additional $5 million.
