GILLA INC. (OTCMKTS:GLLA) Files An 8-K Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On July 31, 2017, Gilla Inc. (“Gilla” or the “Company”) acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Vape Brands International Inc. (“VBI”), a Canada-based E-liquid manufacturer and distributor, through its wholly owned subsidiary Gilla Enterprises Inc. (“Gilla Enterprises”) to the terms of a share purchase agreement (the “SPA”), dated July 31, 2017.

to the SPA, the Company paid to the vendors of VBI the following consideration: (i) 2,500,000 common shares of the Company valued at $0.14 per share for a total value of $350,000; (ii) warrants for the purchase of 2,000,000 common shares of the Company exercisable over twenty-four (24) months at an exercise price of $0.20 per share from the closing date, such warrants vesting in five (5) equal tranches every four (4) months following the closing date; (iii) a total of $550,000 Canadian Dollars (“CAD”) in non-interest bearing, unsecured vendor-take-back loans due over twenty-four (24) months, with principal repayments beginning five (5) months from the closing date until maturity of up to CAD $25,000 per month; and (iv) an earn-out capped at (a) the total cumulative amount of CAD $2,000,000; or (b) five (5) years from the closing date (the “Earn-Out”). The Earn-Out shall be calculated as: (x) 15% of the gross profit generated in Canada by VBI’s co-pack and distribution business;(y) 10% of the revenue generated in Canada by Gilla’s existing E-liquid brands; and (z) 15% of the revenue generated globally on VBI’s existing E-liquid brands. Furthermore, the Earn-Out shall be calculated and paid to the vendors of VBI quarterly in arrears and only as 50% of the aforementioned amounts on incremental revenue between CAD $300,000 and CAD $600,000 per quarter and 50% of the aforementioned amounts on incremental revenue above CAD $600,000 per quarter with the Earn-Out payable to the vendors in the fifth year repeated and paid to the vendors in four (4) quarterly payments after the end of the Earn-Out period, subject to the cumulative limit of the Earn-Out. No Earn-Out shall be payable to the vendors of VBI if total revenue for the Earn-Out calculation period is less than $300,000 per quarter. On the closing date, Gilla Enterprises also entered into an employment agreement with one of the vendors at a base salary of CAD $155,000 per annum for a minimum term of one (1) year from the closing date and up to twelve (12) months’ severance in the event of involuntary termination as a result of a change of control.
