At the initial closing of the agreement, Harvest and its associates divested some eight dispensaries in consideration of $61.5 million.

According to Tuesday’s press release, the transaction includes $1.5 million in cash and $60 million in High Times’ Series A Preferred Stock.

Harvest intends to divest the remaining two dispensaries at a second closing for an additional $6 million in High Times’ Series A Preferred Stock.
