Havana Operator LLC and 51st Property Management Group LLC v. JERB Limited

Havana, 51st and JERB, which upon information and belief is in the business of cultivating and/or selling marijuana in Colorado, entered into an asset purchase agreement dated March 24, 2021, that provides that Havana shall sell to JERB, and JERB shall purchase from Havana, the Havana Assets, and that JERB shall assume from 51st the leasehold interest, as defined in the APA. Plaintiffs say they had numerous prospective purchasers attempting to purchase the leasehold interest and Havana assets, but because JERB, a tenant of landlord in an adjacent location, represented it could easily and quickly negotiate and enter into a lease assignment and assumption agreement with landlord, plaintiffs went with JERB rather than proceeding with a sale to another prospective purchaser. Plaintiffs say JERB failed to purchase the Havana Assets from Havana and assume the leasehold interest from 51st Property, failed to pay the sum of $700,000 to 51st and Havana, failed to reimburse 51st for the monthly rent for the interim period, and failed to easily and quickly negotiate and enter into a lease assignment and assumption agreement. Plaintiffs seek full compensatory and consequential damages in an amount to be determined at trial.

Summit District Court

LC Master Offshore Fund LP v.  Vail Summit Resorts Inc. and Lionheart BGV Ventures LLC

Plaintiff says in June 2021, the loan for defendant’s project matured, but developer defaulted, failing to repay plaintiff under the project loan according to its terms, and currently, more than $17 million is owed and secured by the deed of trust. After the default plaintiff says it approached VSRI, demanding that VSRI subordinate its repurchase option to the plaintiff’s deed of trust, as it had agreed to do under the purchase and sale agreement. However, VSRI refused to subordinate, plaintiff says, and seeks a windfall, expecting plaintiff to pursue a foreclosure under its deed of trust, after which time VSRI would presumably attempt to claim a right under the repurchase option to reacquire the property well below the indebtedness due to plaintiff and well below market value. Plaintiff seeks damages associated with VSRI’s breach of the purchase agreement; a declaration that, as provided by the terms of the purchase agreement, the repurchase option is inferior to and subordinate to the Deed of Trust; and a declaration that the repurchase option is unenforceable and does not encumber the property.
