On
September 30, 2026, Greenlane Holdings, LLC, Warehouse Goods LLC, KIM International, LLC and Kush Supply Co. LLC (collectively, the “Assignors”),
each a direct or indirect subsidiary of Greenlane Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), each executed an irrevocable assignment
for the benefit of creditors under Chapter 727 of the Florida Statutes (collectively, the “Assignments”) in favor of Philip
J. von Kahle (the “Assignee”). The Assignee accepted each Assignment on September 30, 2026. The Assignee is perfecting the
Assignments under Florida law and is commencing four cases that are in the process of being filed and docketed in the Circuit Court of
the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida, Complex Business Division (the “Court”). After the cases
are docketed and assigned to a judge, the Assignee is expected to seek to have the cases administered under a single consolidated lead
case number. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, case numbers have not been assigned.
Under
the Assignments, each Assignor transferred substantially all of its assets to the Assignee. The Assignee is responsible for liquidating
those assets and distributing the proceeds to the creditors of each Assignor in accordance with Chapter 727 of the Florida Statutes and,
once the assignment proceedings are commenced, under the supervision of the Court. The Assignee, and not the Company, now controls the
assets of the Assignors and the administration of their estates. The Assignments do not release the Assignors from their liabilities.
The
assets assigned by Greenlane Holdings, LLC include its equity interests in Warehouse Goods LLC, Merger Sub Gotham 2, LLC and Greenlane
Holdings EU B.V. Merger Sub Gotham 2, LLC is the direct parent of KIM International, LLC, Kush Supply Co. LLC, Kush Energy LLC and KCH
Distribution Inc., and Greenlane Holdings EU B.V. is the direct parent of ARI Logistics B.V.
The
assets assigned by Warehouse Goods LLC include the Vapor.com domain and related intellectual property and its equity interests in Vapeworld
Distribution LTD and Banana G’s LLC. Merger Sub Gotham 2, LLC, Kush Energy LLC, KCH Distribution Inc., Greenlane Holdings EU B.V.,
ARI Logistics B.V. and Vapeworld Distribution LTD (collectively, the “Assigned Subsidiaries”) did not make assignments, but
their equity interests are held, directly or indirectly, by the Assignee as a result of the Assignments. ARI Logistics B.V. and Vapeworld
Distribution LTD are the subject of separate liquidation proceedings in the Netherlands and Canada, respectively.
The
Assignors and the Assigned Subsidiaries conducted the Company’s legacy wholesale distribution business. As previously disclosed
in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had substantially wound down the
operations of that business before the Assignments.
The
Company, Greenlane Subsidiary Inc., Vapor.com Holdings, LLC and Greenlane Manager, LLC are not assignors and are not parties to the Assignments.
Item
2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
The
information set forth in Item 1.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated into this Item 2.01 by reference.
As
a result of the Assignments, the Assignee, and not the Company, controls the assets of the Assignors, including their equity interests
in the Assigned Subsidiaries, and the administration of their estates, and the Company no longer has the power to direct the activities
that most significantly affect the economic performance of the Assignors and the Assigned Subsidiaries (together, the “Deconsolidated
Entities”). The Company will therefore deconsolidate the Deconsolidated Entities from its consolidated financial statements as
of September 30, 2026. The Company did not receive any consideration in connection with the Assignments. Immediately before
the Assignments, Warehouse Goods LLC paid the Assignee a $60,000 retainer for costs of the assignment proceedings from funds of Warehouse
Goods LLC. The Company has not paid any fees or costs of the Assignee or the assignment proceedings. The Company has agreed in principle to lend the Assignee $100,000 to fund costs of the assignment proceedings. No loan agreement has been
signed, no funds have been advanced, and there can be no assurance that the loan will be made. There is no material
relationship between the Assignee and the Company or any of its affiliates, any director or officer of the Company, or any associate
of any such director or officer, other than in respect of the Assignments and the proposed loan.
The
Company expects to recognize a gain on the deconsolidation of the Deconsolidated Entities. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
financial information filed as Exhibit 99.1 reflects a preliminary gain of approximately $3.2 million, computed using balances as of
June 30, 2026. The actual gain will be determined using balances as of September 30, 2026, will be reported in the Company’s Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 and may differ materially from the preliminary amount.
Cautionary
Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This
Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995, including statements regarding the administration and outcome of the assignment proceedings, the expected deconsolidation of
the Deconsolidated Entities, the preliminary gain on deconsolidation and the proposed loan to the Assignee. These statements are based on current expectations and are
subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including the completion of the
Company’s quarterly closing procedures and the review of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm,
actions of the Assignee, the Court and creditors of the Assignors, claims that may be asserted against the Company or its remaining
subsidiaries in connection with the Deconsolidated Entities or their liabilities, and the risks described in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and its subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward looking statement, except as required by law.

UNAUDITED
PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On
September 30, 2026, Greenlane Holdings, LLC, Warehouse Goods LLC, KIM International, LLC and Kush Supply Co. LLC (collectively, the “Assignors”),
each a direct or indirect subsidiary of Greenlane Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), made assignments for the benefit of creditors
under Chapter 727 of the Florida Statutes (the “Assignments”), assigning substantially all of their assets, including their
direct and indirect equity interests in Merger Sub Gotham 2, LLC, Kush Energy LLC, KCH Distribution Inc., Greenlane Holdings EU B.V.,
ARI Logistics B.V. and Vapeworld Distribution LTD (collectively, the “Assigned Subsidiaries” and, together with the Assignors,
the “Deconsolidated Entities”), to Philip J. von Kahle, as assignee (the “Assignee”), for liquidation and distribution
to creditors. As a result, the Company no longer has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance
of the Deconsolidated Entities and will deconsolidate them. The Company, Greenlane Subsidiary Inc., Vapor.com Holdings, LLC and Greenlane
Manager, LLC are not parties to the Assignments.
The
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026 gives effect to the deconsolidation as if it had occurred
on that date. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the six
months ended June 30, 2026 give effect to the deconsolidation as if it had occurred on January 1, 2025. The historical amounts are derived
from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 and its unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2026, each as previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only. It is not necessarily indicative
of the financial position or results of operations that would have been obtained had the deconsolidation occurred on the dates indicated,
or of future financial position or results. It should be read together with the historical financial statements and related notes referred
to above.

NOTES
TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Note
1. Basis of Presentation
The
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and
includes only transaction accounting adjustments. The historical columns are as reported. The pro forma statements of operations remove
the results of the Deconsolidated Entities. Costs of the Company, including public company costs and the expense of the strategic advisory
warrants, and the results of the Company’s subsidiaries that are not Deconsolidated Entities are not removed. No pro forma income
tax adjustment has been made because any tax effect of the adjustments would be offset by the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.
The pro forma balance sheet and statements of operations are presented in thousands, except share and per share amounts, and amounts
may not sum due to rounding. Amounts in these notes are presented in whole dollars.
Note
2. The Assignments
Under
the Assignments, the Assignee controls the assets of the Assignors, including their equity interests in the Assigned Subsidiaries, and
administers those assets for the benefit of creditors, and the Company no longer has the power to direct the activities that most significantly
affect the economic performance of the Deconsolidated Entities. The Assignments do not release the Assignors or the Assigned Subsidiaries
from their respective liabilities. Those liabilities are removed from the Company’s consolidated balance sheet because the Company
will deconsolidate the Deconsolidated Entities, and not because the liabilities have been paid or released. The Company did not receive
any consideration in connection with the Assignments.
Note
3. Pro Forma Balance Sheet Adjustments
(a)
Reflects the removal of the assets of the Deconsolidated Entities as of June 30, 2026, consisting of cash of $42,980, accounts receivable
of $13,317, a lease deposit of $198,000 and a customs bond receivable of $200,000 (each within other current assets) and an investment
of $140,276, for a total of $594,573.
(b)
Reflects the removal of accounts payable of $3,662,656 and accrued liabilities of $91,524 of the Deconsolidated Entities, for a total
of $3,754,180. The accounts payable removed include $7,646 of Kush Energy LLC, $493,223 of ARI Logistics B.V. and $217,169 of Vapeworld
Distribution LTD.
(c)
Reflects a preliminary gain on deconsolidation of $3,159,607, recorded in accumulated deficit, equal to the liabilities removed less
the assets removed. Intercompany balances between the Deconsolidated Entities and Greenlane Subsidiary Inc. are eliminated in the historical
consolidated balance sheet. After deconsolidation, the Company’s receivable from the Deconsolidated Entities is assumed to be uncollectible
and therefore has no net effect on the preliminary gain. The actual gain will be determined using balances as of September 30, 2026,
will be reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 and may differ materially
from the preliminary amount.
Note
4. Pro Forma Statements of Operations Adjustments
(d)
Reflects the removal of the historical revenues and expenses of the Deconsolidated Entities for each period, identified from the Company’s
segment reporting and entity ledgers. The adjustments include the removal of the compensation of the employees of the Assignors, substantially
all of whom were terminated when the Assignors’ payroll ended on September 30, 2026. The compensation of one employee who became
an employee of Vapor.com Holdings, LLC on October 1, 2026 is not separately adjusted because the amount is not material.
(e)
Reflects the preliminary gain on deconsolidation of $3,159,607 described in Note 3(c). The gain is nonrecurring. It is presented in the
year ended December 31, 2025 because the pro forma statements of operations assume that the deconsolidation occurred on January 1, 2025,
and it is not repeated in the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Note
5. Net Loss Per Share
(f)
Pro forma net loss per share is computed using the historical weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, adjusted for
the 1-for-8 reverse stock split effective April 6, 2026: 936,445 shares for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 4,075,852 shares for
the six months ended June 30, 2026.
