INTRODUCTION
This Amendment No. 4 to the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement (as amended hereby, the “Transaction Statement”) is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Rule 13e-3(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) to report the results of the reverse stock split transaction described below, by CLS Holdings USA, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“CLSH” or the “Company”) and Frank Koretsky, a shareholder who the Company considers an affiliate of the Company.
At the Company’s Special Meeting of Stockholders held on June 24, 2025, the Company’s stockholders of record voted to approve a reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Common Stock”). The reverse stock split consists of a 1-to-4,000,000 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) whereby stockholders owning any fractional shares of Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split would have such fractional shares cancelled and converted into the right to receive the cash consideration set forth herein (the “Repurchase Plan”). The Reverse Stock Split and the Repurchase Plan are structured to (i) substantially reduce operational costs by reducing the number of record holders of Common Stock to fewer than 300, thereby allowing the Company to terminate the registration of the Common Stock pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act and the Company’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, and (ii) to provide the minority shareholders with a liquidity event at a price well above the recent trading price of the stock.
The Company’s stockholders approved the Reverse Stock Split and Repurchase Plan with 135,687,759 votes in favor, 8,235,864 votes against, and 11,841 votes abstaining. The Company anticipates that approximately 36,734,517 pre-split shares will be cashed out for approximately $1,360,000.
The Company intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and to suspend its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act immediately after the filing hereof.
The Company filed a Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Statement”) on May 30, 2025, pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act. The information contained in the Proxy Statement, including all Annexes attached thereto, is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference.
