Dimondale-based cannabis company Green Peak Industries, which operates under the brand name Skymint, has been placed under the control of a receiver after a lender sued the company claiming it owes them more than $127 million.
The March 3 lawsuit, which also names Green Peak Industries subsidiaries District Bay LLC, The District Park LLC and GPIMD Corp., was filed by Canadian-based Tropics LP in Ingham County Circuit Court.
According to the lawsuit, the four companies “have borrowed more than $81 million” from Tropics since September 2021. They have been “chronically in default of their loan obligations” since “at least March 2022,” the lawsuit said.
The lawsuit alleges Green Peak Industries and its subsidiaries “lack sufficient cash to operate their business.”
Court records show an order to appoint a receiver was filed last week.
A message and email left Tuesday morning with Skymint Brands CEO Jeff Radway weren’t immediately returned, however, the company provided a statement.
Skymint “consented to enter a receivership with our primary lender to improve our balance sheet and financial position, while maintaining day-to-day business operations and preserving long-term growth potential,” the company said in an emailed statement. “The court-approved agreement will allow us to focus on our debt obligations to address the financial challenges facing many in Michigan’s cannabis industry, including excess supply, decreasing prices, limited access to capital and the increasing cost of capital.”
The company’s “sales and the wholesale per pound flower price has been declining at a rapid pace,” and a consulting firm’s review of its financials determined Green Peak Industries and its subsidiaries “were burning cash at the rate of $37.5 million per year or $3 million per month,” according to the lawsuit.
Tropics isn’t the only company suing Green Peak Industries.
In a concurrent lawsuit, New York investment firm Merida Capital Holdings filed a complaint in Oakland County Circuit Court alleging that Green Peak misrepresented its financial standing and was mismanaged, according to Crain’s.
