LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MedMen Enterprises Inc. (“MedMen” or the “Company”) (CSE: MMEN) (OTCQB: MMNFF) (FSE: A2JM6N) today announced that it has revised a previously announced agreement to sell a portion of its real estate assets. MedMen previously announced that it would sell three properties to newly formed Treehouse Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (“Treehouse”). Under the revised transaction MedMen expects to sell one property to Treehouse and two properties to Stable Road Capital. The sale to Stable Road Capital would take place as soon as practical. The sale to Treehouse would take place following capitalization of Treehouse through a private placement. The economics of the transaction are not expected to change.

The sale of two properties to Stable Road Capital is expected to generate approximately US$8.5 million of proceeds to the Company after repayment of debt. The sale of one property to Treehouse is expected to generate approximately US$4.0 million of proceeds to the Company after repayment of debt. Together, the transactions are expected to net the Company US$12.5 million. Additional real estate assets in MedMen’s portfolio are expected to be sold to Treehouse over the next 12 months.

Treehouse is a real estate investment vehicle that intends to capitalize on the cannabis industry’s continued growth. Investors in Treehouse are expected to include Stable Road Capital.

The properties sold to Stable Road Capital and Treehouse will be leased backed to MedMen or its subsidiaries at market rates under long-term leases.

The two properties comprising the transaction to Stable Road Capital are:

• MedMen Abbot Kinney – the only cannabis store in what GQ calls the “Coolest Block in America,” 1308-1312 Abbot Kinney Blvd., Venice, California.
• MedMen Downtown Las Vegas – the Company’s first branded store in Las Vegas in the heart of the city’s Arts District and near the Fremont Street Experience, 823 S. 3rd Street, Las Vegas, Nevada.
