BAT Subscription Agreement
Effective as of November 14, 2022, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with BT DE Investments, Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary of BAT Group (LSE: BATS and NYSE: BTI), providing for the issuance of an approximately $56.8 million (C$75.3 million) convertible debenture (the “Debenture”) convertible into 19.9% ownership of the Company’s common shares at a conversion price of C$2.00 per common share of the Company on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). The Debenture will accrue interest at an annualized rate of 5% until such time that there is federal regulation permitting the use of cannabidiol, a phytocannabinoid derived from the plant Cannabis sativa L. (“CBD”) as an ingredient in food products and dietary supplements in the United States. (The term “federal regulation" is defined as the date that federal laws in the United States permit, authorize or do not prohibit the use of CBD as an ingredient in food products and dietary supplements). Following federal regulation of CBD, the annualized rate of interest shall reduce to 1.5%. The maturity date for the Debenture shall be November 2029. The Subscription Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and covenants. The funds from this Debenture can be used for operating purposes to fund the Company, as approved by the board of directors or in accordance with the Company’s board-approved budget.
