VANCOUVER, BC, June 4, 2020 /CNW/ – Zenabis Global Inc. (TSX: ZENA) (“Zenabis” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that it has entered into definitive agreements (the “Note Amending Agreements“) with the holders (the “Noteholders“) of each of the subordinated secured convertible notes originally issued by Zenabis Investments Ltd. on October 17, 2018, as amended on August 21, 2019 and January 31, 2020 (each, a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes“). The key terms of the Note Amending Agreements include:
- the deferral of the maturity date of the Notes from June 30, 2020 to March 31, 2021 (the “New Maturity Date“) with amortization payments against the remaining principal amount of each Note (after giving effect to the Immediate Conversion) due on September 30, 2020 (40% of the remaining principal amount of each Note) and December 31, 2020 (40% of the remaining principal amount of each Note);
- the immediate conversion of 22.88% of the outstanding principal amount of each Note into common shares of Zenabis (“Common Shares“) at a price of $0.10232 per Common Share (the “Immediate Conversion“) resulting in the issuance of an aggregate 25,415,836 Common Shares to the Noteholders and an aggregate reduction to the principal amount of the Notes of $2,600,548 (from $11,364,783 to $8,764,234);
- Zenabis’ payment of: (i) the accrued interest on the Notes in cash on the date of the Immediate Conversion; and (ii) an amendment fee of 5% of the remaining principal amount of each Note (after giving effect to the Immediate Conversion) on the New Maturity Date; and
- Zenabis’ grant to each Noteholder of the right to participate in future equity financings of Zenabis completed prior to March 31, 2021
Kevin Coft, Chief Executive Officer of Zenabis, stated, “We are pleased to eliminate the prior June 30 maturity through these agreements. When combined with the previously announced secured note amendment, this transitions the majority of our cannabis debt capital structure to an amortizing structure.”
The Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX“) has conditionally approved the Immediate Conversion and the listing of the additional Commons Shares issuable pursuant to the Immediate Conversion. Listing of these securities is subject to the Company fulfilling standard TSX listing requirements.
