Shareholder Group Voluntarily Cancels Shares, Effectively Relinquishing Majority Voting Position

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 26, 2015 / Medbox, Inc. (OTCQB: MDBX), a provider of specialized services to the cannabis sector, including operators of dispensaries, cultivation centers, manufacturers and research facilities in those states where approved, today announced that Medbox and VM Group, a shareholder group led by its founder, P. Vincent Mehdizadeh, have agreed to amend a voting agreement in connection with the company’s shares.

Under terms of the voting agreement amendment, VM Group executed a majority shareholder consent to eliminate certain super voting rights from the company’s Series A Preferred Stock, and further deferred VM Group’s right to appoint a director to the company’s board. The amendment also extended the expiration date of the voting agreement to July 2018, and the company agreed to accelerate the remaining $328,877 payments due on a promissory note to a member of VM Group.

Medbox also announced that VM Group voluntarily cancelled and retired all of its two million Medbox preferred shares and three million of its Medbox common shares, effectively relinquishing VM Group’s majority voting position.

“The action of VM Group has the effect of extending greater voting authority among all shareholders and should have a positive long-term impact on the company’s corporate structure,” said Jeff Goh, President and interim Chief Executive Officer of Medbox. “As a management team, we will continue to focus our attention on growing the company and enhancing shareholder value, and aggressively pursuing the many opportunities that we believe are ahead for us in the burgeoning marijuana sector.”
