The finalization of the Credit Facility is subject to Pure Sunfarms satisfying certain pre-conditions, including an additional capital contribution by Village Farms of $8 million to Pure Sunfarms (the “Additional Capital Contribution”), which is expected to be completed this week. Upon completion of the Additional Capital Contribution, Village Farms will have further increased its majority ownership of Pure Sunfarms to 58.7%.

“This significantly expanded credit facility provides Pure Sunfarms with financial resources and flexibility as it continues to build on its success to date as a leading Canadian cannabis producer and brand,” said Michael DeGiglio, CEO, Village Farms.  “This financing is yet another expression of confidence in the strength and potential of the Pure Sunfarms business and we appreciate the continuing support of Pure Sunfarms existing lender.”
