CENTR Brands Corp. Closes Non-Brokered Private Placement

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 18, 2022) – CENTR Brands Corp. (CSE: CNTR) (FSE: 303) (OTCQB: CNTRF) (the “Company“) announced today that it completed non-brokered private placement financings (the “Financings”) on April 13 and April 14. Pursuant to the Financings, the Corporation issued an aggregate of C$4,554,643.60 of units of the Company (the “Units”) at an issue price of $0.65 per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of one common share (a “Common Share”) and one common share purchase ‎warrant of the Company (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company (a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of $1.50 per Warrant Share for a period of three years following the date of issue, subject to a redemption timing adjustment in certain events. Certain founding shareholders and insiders of the Company participated in the Financings and subscribed for a total of 3,128,640 Units, which is a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The issuances to the insiders are exempt from the valuation and the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Financings as the details of the Financings and the participation therein by related parties were not settled until shortly prior to closing and the Company wished to close on an expedited basis for sound business reasons. A further closing of the private placement on similar terms is expected to be completed within the next few weeks.

The net proceeds of the Financings will be used for growth-oriented production, continued expansion of the recently launched online channel, new product innovation, and general working capital. The Company paid a finder’s fee in connection with the sale of certain of the Units to subscribers introduced to the Company by finders.
