International Cannabrands Enters into Equity Line and Clarifies Disclosure Regarding August 2018 Investment Agreement
DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / July 26, 2019 / International Cannabrands Inc. (CSE: JUJU) (the “Company“) wishes to announce that is has entered into a binding letter agreement with Sea Otter Global Ventures, LLC (“Sea Otter”) whereby Sea Otter has agreed to fund up to $6,250,000 by way of an ongoing share purchase commitment in tranches of $100,000 up to $250,000 over a period of 24 months. The Company has agreed to file a short form shelf prospectus in order to qualify the distribution of the securities issuable to Sea Otter, which will be priced in the context of the market and at discounts permitted under the rules of the Canadian Securities Exchange. The Company has issued a combination of common shares and warrants as consideration for providing the equity line of credit consisting of 3,500,000 common shares and 200,000 warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share for a period of 2 years at a price of $0.072 per share. The common shares and warrants are subject to a four month hold period.
Steve Gormley commented: “Traditional operating lines are just not available to junior companies and particularly those in the cannabis space. This facility allows the Company to smooth out its cash flow and back stop its operations if needed, while we navigate our early design. We need to employ all the tools we can to ensure the success and growth of the Company, and we feel the team we have chosen in Sea Otter is first class.”
In addition, the Company wishes to report on private placements closed during the second quarter. The Company issued 5,079,365 common shares at a price of $0.07875, and an aggregate of 3,701,587 units at a price of $0.07875 for gross proceeds in the two placements of $691,500. Each unit consisted of one common share and one share purchase warrant, whereby each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.13 for a period of three years. The issuance price of the securities was done at a discount to market at the time of the placement in accordance with the rules of the Canadian Securities Exchange. Two directors of the Company entered into share lending arrangements with certain of the investors, lending an aggregate of 8,253,968 common shares in connection with the private placements. The common shares and warrants bear a 4 month hold period. In addition an aggregate of 1,287,130 warrants with no hold period remaining were exercised for gross proceeds of $94,356.
