The Reporting Persons are filing this Schedule 13D jointly, and the Joint Filing Agreement among the Reporting Persons to file jointly is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 99.1 to this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D.

Below is a description of the relationship among the Reporting Persons:

(f)

See Item 2(a) above for the Reporting Persons’ place of organization or citizenship, as applicable.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

YA II PN, Ltd. (“YA II”) is the direct legal title owner of 1,668,065 shares of Greenrose’s Common Stock. YA II purchased 1,414,900 shares (the number of shares remaining after acquiring an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares) for an aggregate purchase price of $9,286,644 pursuant to a Non-Redemption Agreement with Greenrose, the source of which came from YA II’s working capital. No part of the purchase price was from borrowed funds. The balance of 253,165 shares were acquired by YA II as a commitment fee in connection with a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (i.e., financing arrangement) entered into by YA II with Greenrose on October 21, 2021 (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”).

More information regarding the transactions between YA II and Greenrose are set forth in Greenrose’s 8-K filed on October 21, 2021.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

YA II acquired all of the shares in financing transactions with Greenrose as summarized in Item 3 above.

YA II acquired the shares as a passive investor with no intention to effect any of the actions enumerated in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, including, without limitation, to any change in the present board of directors or management of Greenrose.

On or about September 22, 2022, Yorkville Advisors Global, LP (the “IM”), the investment manager to YA II, was asked by a Greenrose shareholder (the “Proposing Shareholder”) to vote by written consent for changes in the composition of Greenrose’s Board of Directors. Such request for a vote was not initiated, planned or proposed by the IM, YA II or their respective affiliates, nor has the IM, YA II, or their respective affiliates nominated any directors for Greenrose’s Board of Directors. The IM, on behalf of YA II, indicated to the Proposing Shareholder its intention to cast its vote in favor of the proposed changes in the composition of Greenrose’s Board of Directors. Absent new or differing information, the IM, on behalf of YA II, intended to vote for the changes in the composition of Greenrose’s Board of Directors as proposed by the Proposing Shareholder.

On or about January 24, 2023, YA II consented, along with two other shareholders, Greenrose Associates, LLC and True Harvest LLC, which together represented a majority of the outstanding Common Stock of Greenrose, acting without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote, to the actions set forth below by written consent (the “Written Consent”), each effective immediately:

Each director of Greenrose is removed without cause.

The following individuals are appointed as directors of Greenrose: William Harley III, Daniel Harley, Jared Penman, Dieter Gable, and Brad Cooke.

Pursuant to Section 109(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, all of Greenrose’s bylaws, including the October 3, 2022 bylaws, are repealed.

The number of shares of Common Stock that YA II voted in the Written Consent was 753,165 shares of Common Stock (out of a total of 1,668,065 shares), which are the number of shares of Common Stock that YA II held in record name. The balance of YA II’s shares of Common Stock were held in street name.

Based solely on the Wri tten Consent, the number of shares of Common Stock voted in the Written Consent by Greenrose Associates, LLC and True Harvest LLC were 5,217,789 and 4,430,350 shares, respectively. The aggregate number of shares voted in the Written Consent were 10,401,304, representing 58.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a)-(b) The Reporting Persons directly or indirectly own an aggregate of 1,668,065, or 9.43% of the, shares of Common Stock of Greenrose as of January 30, 2023. YA II and the other Reporting Persons share the power to vote and dispose any such Common Stock. The percentage of shares reported as owned by the Reporting Persons is based upon 17,683,344 shares of Common Stock outstanding, which is the total number of shares outstanding as of November 7, 2022, as reported in Greenrose’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 15, 2022.

Direct beneficial ownership of such Common Stock by the Reporting Persons is as follows:

	·	YA II PN, Ltd. – 1,668,065

	·	YA Global Investments II (U.S.), LP – 0

	·	Yorkville Advisors Global, LP – 0

	·	Yorkville Advisors Global II, LLC – 0

	·	YA II GP, LP – 0

	·	YAII GP II, LLC -- 0

	·	Mark Angelo – 0

Solely for purposes of this filing, all of the reporting persons are deemed to be affiliated parties and therefore any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by one reporting person are deemed to be held by all other reporting persons.

(c) No Reporting Person has effected any transactions in the Common Stock of Greenrose during the sixty days immediately prior to the filing of this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D.

(d) No person, other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock reported as owned herein.

(e) Not applicable.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

As noted in Item 4 above, YA II signed a written consent to the actions described in Item 4 above. A copy of the Written Consent is attached as Exhibit 99.3.

YA II is party to the Equity Purchase Agreement referenced above, whereby YA II agreed to purchase from Greenrose up to $100 million of the Greenrose’s Common Stock over the course of 36 months from the date of the consummation of Greenrose’s qualified business combination (as described in Greenrose’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 5, 2021), subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth in the Equity Purchase Agreement.

Item 7.

Material to Be Filed as Exhibits

On January 30, 2023, the Reporting Persons entered into a Joint Filing Agreement in which the Reporting Persons agreed to the joint filing on behalf of each of them of statements on Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D with respect to the securities of Greenrose to the extent required by applicable law.
