Tumalo Announces the Appointment of CannXperts as Receiver under Oregon State Law

Order Appointing Receiver, Stays Creditors from Enforcing Claims

PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tumalo Holdings, LLC (“Tumalo” or the “Company”) announced today that the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon has entered an order granting the appointment of an Oregon state receiver (the “Receivership Order”) over the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Receivership Entities”). Tumalo does business under the well-known brands Dr. Jolly’s, Local Leaf, Parlour Cannabis Shoppe, and The Herb Center.

The Receivership Order appoints Rogue50, Inc. dba CannXperts as receiver (the “Receiver”) over the business, assets, and property of the Receivership Entities and grants a broad stay of proceedings against them or their property. The intent of the receivership proceeding is to, among other things, protect the value of the Receivership Entities for the benefit of its creditors and stakeholders.

In accordance with the Receivership Order, all creditors of the Receivership Entities will be stayed from enforcing their claims. The goal of the stay is to allow Tumalo’s day-to-day operations to continue largely uninterrupted, and provide Tumalo with additional time to consider potential restructuring transactions, including a sale and investment solicitation process to explore potential strategic options and alternatives. 

With five meticulously curated dispensaries in Bend and Portland, two state-of-the-art cultivation facilities, and a cutting-edge extraction center, Tumalo has established a reputation as a premier destination for cannabis enthusiasts across Oregon. Under the stewardship of its dynamic management team, Tumalo has honored its obligations to its trade creditors, provided well-paying jobs for nearly 100 employees, and become a leader in supplying high-quality cannabis products to a multitude of loyal customers. The Receiver anticipates that sustaining these relationships will be of paramount importance to Tumalo’s continuing vitality. The Receivership Entities appear to be generally cash flow positive but for the legacy debt which precipitated the Receivership Order.

While the outcome of the receivership process is relatively uncertain, and Tumalo can offer no assurances that any potential restructuring transactions will be available on terms acceptable to Tumalo, its stakeholders and creditors, the courts, or at all, Tumalo hopes to exit the receivership process well-positioned to continue to develop its partnerships with vendors and to serve its valued clientele with the high level of products and service they have come to expect.
