Falcon Agrees to Take Common Shares In Lieu of Future Lease Payments
Halo Labs Inc. ("Halo" or the "Company") (NEO: HALO, OTCQX: AGEEF, Germany: A9KN) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Falcon International (“Falcon”) to buy out the entire rental premium of its California locations at Industrial Court 9 at a discount with payment to be completed by the issuance of Halo common shares (the “Common Shares”) at a price of CAD$0.65 per Common Share.
Halo has agreed to pay down the premium of the rent at suite 18 & 19 locations at Industrial Court 9 in exchange for 1,464,505 Common Shares, which will save the Company CAD$521,973, representing a 21% saving on rent at these locations. Additionally, Halo’s suites 21 & 22 rent will also be paid down in exchange for the issuance of 1,242,578 Common Shares, which will save the Company CAD$699,429, representing a 31% saving on rent at these locations once these suites are occupied.
Overall, Halo will issue an aggregate of 2,707,083 Common Shares for the buyout of the remaining rent at these two sites, providing the Company a total savings of CAD$1,221,401 and overall reduced rent expenditure of 26%.
Falcon is a leading California cannabis company with exclusive contracts to produce and distribute some of California’s leading brands, including The Clear and CRU. Falcon currently distributes products to approximately 70% of all California licensed dispensaries. Halo has had an agreement since October 2018 to produce and supply up to 70,000 grams of bulk cannabis distillate per week which renews on a rolling 6-month term extensions.
Kiran Sidhu, CEO of Halo, comments: “This is an exciting move for Halo, to continue expansion in California at discounted rental rates. The opportunity to save over $1.2 million in rent over the terms of the leases frees up a capital Halo can now distribute into further growing our operations.”
