(HTHC) Quote

I just remembered I dumped $400 into this supposed IPO back in 2018 and they just stopped communicating. I would be happy to join a class action suit with you all just because I'm pissed off, I don't care if its on $400.

Lets do it.

Same here. Im going after them in any new way I can come up with. They need some attention.

I called yesterday..It seems EQ has recently been let go as shares holder and they were told HTHC was seeking a new goat to scape; they only were given the info@hightimes mail to echo for info.

How can we stop them

How is it legal for them to false advertise and scam us on top of the false advertising? Has anyone made any progress I have been trying to for awhile and I’m stuck in an infinite loop of getting no answers. I’ve contacted high times at this point for the last three years with no response. If anyone has info on anything, please let me know.

Real shame they can steal money from investors,not have to repay them and get slapped on the wrist by the SEC for what I imagine is not even a fraction of what they've stolen from us.

Update, and still trying to see if funds put into High Times will amount to anything for us. It sounds like it is still possible; but I don't understand the details enough to know. Reading LSDI's (Lucy Scientific) SEC filings, it says they entered into an agreement with High Times 9/7/23 with Closing to be mid September '23 or the Outside Closing Date 9/30/23. It also says both parties can extend the Closing. There haven't been updated filings to show the Closing, or any more recent Reports that address the Acquisition. In Lucy's reports, it indicated in 2023 that they announced an Acquisition in March 2023 and later added a note about Closing that Acquisition in June 2023, about 3 months later. The HT Announcement was about 4 months ago, so it appears we are waiting on news of the Closing. We may have to wait for another Quarterly Report by Lucy to get any update. A subsequent Acquisition by Lucy of BlueSky Wellness announced shortly after the HT Announcement also has not had an update about any Closing. So we will have to wait for future filings to see if the HT deal does close. If it does, then we can wait and see if it amounts to anything for us HT (supposed?) shareholders.

Here is a great article, asking great questions and explaining things in simple terms. One, the deal may not even happen. Two, High Times is in Receivership already, and the deal would need to be approved. No news on that front. Three, according to the article, regular shareholders' (us) shares have already been devalued down to $0.05 per share. OK back to being screwed. Even if the Lucy deal does happen, sounds like we will get pennies on the dollar moving forward. Read the short article here: https://cedclinic.com/lucy-scientific-mum-on-high-times-deal/

I'm not so sure yet Scout. EQ only had 1 of 3 purchases of stock I made. They said it was up to High Times to fix it. HT did eventually email me back saying they showed all 3 purchases of stock. So I am sure there is a record, and you should document your purchase for your own records. I have HT emails with mine. This was probably a year ago, not recently. Also, I've gone back and read press releases and what Ed58 posted seems to have been said more than once, also that it would "create liquidity for HT shareholders." I don't have reason yet to think our shares are gone. If the company HTHC High Times Holding Company still exists, then we still own shares. And if we own shares and HTHC receives cash and assets, etc. we should receive something, from what I can see. However, I don't know the deep details of the transaction. LSDI bought assets and is giving HT (HTHC? they have tons of entities) cash and stock. I wouldn't say we are out of luck yet.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like us investors are getting any of those shares. Our hightimes shares were removed from the transfer agent at some point this year, as if we never had them in the first place. Now nobody at hightimes will respond to me. It seems Adam Levin and co at hightimes might've already received the LSDI shares and have been selling en masse (just look at the LSDI stock chart over the last month, lot of big volume spikes over the past few weeks).

Interesting news...is this turkey finally going to fly?
Lucy will issue a yet-to-be-disclosed number of shares of stock to High Times. These shares, along with additional ones that may be issued as “earn-out shares,” will be registered for resale under the Securities Act and will be distributed among High Times stockholders.

Lucy Scientific Acquires High Times Intellectual Property, Including Existing Licensing Agreements in All-Stock Transaction
https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/09/07/2739298/0/en/Lucy-Scientific-Acquires-High-Times-Intellectual-Property-Including-Existing-Licensing-Agreements-in-All-Stock-Transaction.html

Looks like HT shareholders will end up owning 20% of publicly traded LSDI, but it's unclear how much actual value that equates to for shareholders. Furthermore, I called EQ Shareowner Services yesterday and it seems HT quietly removed that company as transfer agent some time in the past 9 months and has either not moved our shares to a new agent or simply has not told us about it yet. So I don't know where are shares are even held anymore nor how shareholders will even receive LSDI stock.

Look at my post from 3/9 and the link to the article. It says where they stand, which is on the brink of receivership. They've failed to pay debts and have until September 30th to make a final payment. Who knows if they have even made the prior payments per the agreement. The assets of the company will be sold, and maybe someone will buy them and do something with "High Times." Investors in this High Times debacle (like myself) will lose all their "investment." Shares will be worthless. September 30th cometh quickly...

What happened to HIGH TIMES?

High Times in the News - and not for Good!

This article tells where things stand. HTHC has until September to pay off creditors and refinance debt. Not looking good folks. I wonder what happens to HTHC shares if they default, and this Mr. Kunkle receives the company?

Ugh, bad news. Nothing from the company, and it sounds like they are failing majorly. Lawsuits, in default, a subscriber says she has not gotten a magazine since August. Not looking good kids.

What the Hell? Anything going on with this train wreck?

First Shareholder update email today after one year! It actually sounds very positive and that things are finally progressing in a good direction with good leadership. The CEO sounds like a competent leader and stakeholder. As we get further from the lockdown and Covid, I think things will pick up for HT, especially with events and stores. Very positive and transparent news about working on their financials for 2019-2021.

I am having the same problem. EQ only shows 1 of 3 stock purchases and says it is up to HT to sort out. HT emailed back saying they show 3 stock purchases. Shit show, of course. But it will probably get sorted out. The question is will it be worth it or not? High Times??

Thanks for posting this info. I just filed an email query on how to authenticate holdings. Any luck so far?
- best,
pappi

EQ Shareowneronline are now receiving information and stocks from HTHC. The problem now is that they are not transferring all my stocks shares. I'm trying to contact the right people in order to fix this. I have 15290 shares with this company and I want all my shares transferred.

Finally got my info to create an EQ account to check on my (worthless) HTHC shares. Only 1 of 3 share purchases worth of shares are showing at EQ. I have taken screen shots of the transaction history on the HT Investor website. Now I have the fun of following up on this. I suggest anyone get screen shots and/or bank transaction history for any purchases of shares made on the HT Investor website. I doubt anyone will be able to access anything through V-Stock or whatever company it was that held them before. Ugh...

IMO. Merge with MEDMEN.

Just emailed a complaint to the SEC. We'll see what happens.

These delays have gone on long enough. Did anyone know that their CEO quit? I don't know about any of you, but I want my money back. I am know ready to start class action suit against HTHC. Who's with me?

Thanks for the update Waves70.
Can you post the # to call or the email addy here?

Stock transfer update. EQ does list Hightimes Holding Co. in their list of companies. I called 2x for 45 mins and had to leave a message. They said it is due to tax season that it is so busy. They finally did call me back, and they said they need to send me information in the mail, not email, to create an online account with them. They also had the wrong address for me from old V Stock. V Stock had 2 accounts for me under 1 login. I had updated my mailing address with them, but I'm sure there was a glitch and they transferred the old address. I think eventually EQ and HT would get around to notifying shareholders, but it would be prudent to call EQ or email them (leave a call back message) and request the account info you'll need to create an online account. Also make sure your address and contact info is up to date. It sounded like they were not taking any more investments for HTHC at this time, but that is not sure. The interim CEO of HTHC sounds legit and is a founder, shareholder, or whatever. I'm sure they'll look for someone else. Anyway, the shit-show continues...

I believe HIGH TIMES and MEDMEN should merge. HIGH TIMES kiosk in each MEDMEN store.

Why would they change unless they couldn't pay their bills or some other bad reason, right?

GreenGrowth a dead company, you mean ex-CEO P Horvath? Now Paul Henderson of High Tides. I don't know, but I would assume they paid Horvath a ton of money to come on board, and maybe he negotiated money if he left. I hear more of a sucking sound for investors here... What a shit-show I bought into.

Wow, thanks for this heads up. I am going to check on this now, too. I'm not too worried about them saying I don't have shares, as I have emails and bank transactions. However, good practice to take a screen shot. I keep wondering how they can continue to take investments when the SEC supposedly stopped them. Maybe because a third party is holding the money? But they must receive the money. Class action lawsuit to get something back?

Sorry, but sending emails is futile here. They haven't updated shareholders at all in almost a year.

Guess who the CEO is? GreenGrowth.

I've sent multiple emails with no response. I also emailed the transfer agent listed on the website. She said they are no longer the agent and gave me the new one, but Hightimes is not even listed on their company list.

New transfer agent.

Heads up shareholders, I tried to login to V Stock Transfer yesterday to take a screenshot of my ownership percentage—been doing this quarterly in the offchance this ever goes public so I can prove ownership. Or to claim fraud if they try to tell me I never owned shares. To my surprise I wasn’t able to log in even though last time I logged in was December. I reached out to V Stock and was told “We are no longer the agent for HighTimes. You will need to contact EQ Shareowner Services for assistance.” Yet another bad sign that they have changed transfer agents without informing shareholders. Not a surprise, just another aspect pointing to a scam. I have yet to hear back from EQ, but I recommend other shareholders reach out to them too. I have a feeling I’m in for some sort of response along the lines of “oh I’m sorry, we have no record of you ever having ownership.” Luckily I have screenshots going back to 2018!

The CEO is a hemp head.

High Times Reg A Offering extended through March 31, 2022 - again. Oddly, their filing says the offering is "paused" but they have continued to take investment and post a higher number of "investors." The SEC is really allowing this sham?

High Times Announces Final Extension of Reg. A Offering Through Q1
December 31, 2020

https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/02/25345369/high-times-loses-another-high-profile-ceo-as-peter-horvath-resigns

CEO Peter Horvath appears to have left High Times, or been let go, according to his LinkedIn profile. He lists his time with High Times as May 2020 - January 2022 and lists his position with Retail Solutions Group (something he probably made up or "started") as his current position.

HT Reg A Offering expiring Jan. 31. Extend again or Fold?

It would be a complete waste of time, so is emailing them. They do not answer anything. They have not put out shareholder emails since March of 2021, coming up on a year. They have not filed financials fully since 2018. They will not be able to do anything with stock until their financials are up to date. They are intentionally sitting on their financials, knowing the massive debt will sink their supposed "stock" price.

We all "donated" money to this scam, not invested. They last extended their Reg A offering to January 31sr, 2022, which is very near. Watch, in a day or two, they will file to extend further; or, they will pull the plug.

Oh.....Peter Horvath, most current CEO, still listed on the HT website, is no longer with the company, according to his LinkedIn profile as of this month, January 2022. He was most recently associated with another unsuccessful cannabis venture, not a savior of companies. Another one bites the dust!

How the SEC has not cracked down on this scam is beyond me. How can they get away with putting on video and in writing that, "this is the final extension of the Reg A offering," and "we will be going public?" How can HT continue taking investor money, when the SEC says they must stop, unless it is not really theirs yet and is being held by the 3rd party custodian? If that is the case, it would seem the custodian could return the money. If not, and HT has received and spent the money, wouldn't that be a massive violation of the SEC's stop order?

Anyone more knowledgeable please post.

Has anyone received any responses to their emails? I have emailed them several times and received nothing. I’m not impressed. Their new CEO has successfully pulled 2 other companies out of the fire. They have multiple income streams and are supposed to do quite well. However, good customer service is the hallmark of a competent company. How do I get through to these people? I feel that writing a letter would be a waste of time.
