Sugarbud Craft Growers Corp. (CNW Group/SugarBud Craft Growers Corp.)
NEWS PROVIDED BY
SugarBud Craft Growers Corp.
Nov 28, 2019, 20:37 ET
CALGARY, Nov. 28, 2019 /CNW/ - Sugarbud Craft Growers Corp. (TSXV: SUGR, SUGR.WT, SUGR.RT) ("Sugarbud" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the filing of its unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("Financial Statements") for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 ("Q3 2019") and related management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A"), which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on Sugarbud's website at www.sugarbud.ca.
"Q3 2019 was a productive and pivotal period for Sugarbud," stated John Kondrosky, Sugarbud CEO. "In addition to receiving our cultivation, processing and medical licenses from Health Canada, we completed the transfer and receipt of our starting material under our declaration to Health Canada and began cultivation activities in our purpose built 29,800 square-foot facility in Stavely, Alberta which, at full production, currently has an estimated annual production design capacity of between 9.9 and 11.7 million grams."
"We are pleased with the quality and variety of the cultivars we have received and while we held back production a little longer than we would have liked in order to complete our incoming quality inspections, we remain on track to deliver a strong first harvest, which we now expect will occur in early Q1," continued Mr. Kondrosky.
During the quarter the company also announced two cornerstone supply agreements that combined represent 1,700,000 grams of committed dried cannabis supply in 2020 or approximately 72% of the total estimated initial production capacity of Sugarbud's two fully licensed cultivation rooms in 2020. At full production capacity, these two rooms have a design capacity to produce an estimated 3.3 to 3.9 million grams annually.
"In addition to a clear line of sight to first revenue, we continue to take meaningful steps to strengthen our balance sheet and control operating expenses as we focus on scaling up our business. We have identified and are executing against a very controlled and balanced capital expansion plan that supports sustainable growth and maximizes return on investment," Mr. Kondrosky added.
The Company has several facility buildout options which it can deploy, however the current strategy; which is focused on achieving near term capacity expansion and generating sustainable positive cash flow by late Q3 2020, will see Phase 1a expanded primarily through additional HVAC in cultivation rooms 1 and 2 which are already licensed. The capital budget required to complete this expansion is estimated to be approximately $2.5 million and the Company is working towards financing a significant portion of this through previously announced equipment leasing arrangements.
The company also recently announced the close of a $925,000 private placement, of which management and board members took up 47%, and the launch of a $5 million rights offering.
Pursuant to the Rights Offering, each holder ("Eligible Holder") of Common Shares as of the Record Date that is a resident in any province of territory of Canada (other than Québec) (the "Eligible Jurisdictions") will receive one transferable right (each, a "Right") for every Common Share held. Every four Rights will entitle the holder to purchase one Unit at a price of $0.0550 until 4:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on the expiry date of December 20, 2019 (the "Expiry Date"), after which all outstanding Rights will terminate. Each Unit will be comprised of one Common Share and one Warrant. The Warrants issued pursuant to the Rights Offering will be on the same terms as those issued pursuant to the Private Placement, including early expiry upon the VWAP equaling or exceeding $0.125. Subscribers of Units under the Private Placement will have a right to participate in the Rights Offering with respect to any Common Shares acquired pursuant to the Private Placement.

Sugarbud Announces Private Placement, Non-Dilutive Capital Equipment Financing and Rights Offering
SugarBud Craft Growers Corp. (CNW Group/SugarBud Craft Growers Corp.)

SugarBud Craft Growers Corp.
Nov 15, 2019, 07:00 ET
/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAW./
CALGARY, Nov. 15, 2019 /CNW/ - Sugarbud Craft Growers Corp. (TSXV: SUGR, SUGR.WT) ("Sugarbud") is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") for gross proceeds of $925,000 and the execution of an agreement in respect of non-dilutive equipment financing arrangements (the "Capital Equipment Financing"). Sugarbud is also pleased to announce a rights offering (the "Rights Offering") to holders of common shares ("Common Shares") of Sugarbud as of November 25, 2019 (the "Record Date") for proceeds of up to approximately $5.2 million.
"Despite very challenging market conditions, we continue to make good progress with our overall capital financing efforts to fuel our expansion and strengthen our balance sheet, stated Sugarbud CEO, John Kondrosky. We remain mindful of overall shareholder value and continue to approach our capital funding requirements in a measured and balanced manner. Combined with a strong insider lead Private Placement, significant non-dilutive Capital Equipment Financing and the planned Rights Offering, Sugarbud is well positioned to drive meaningful progress and sustainable growth heading into 2020", added Mr. Kondrosky.
Pursuant to the Private Placement, Sugarbud will issue 18,500,000 units ("Units") of Sugarbud at a price of $0.05 per Unit, for total proceeds of $925,000. Each Unit will be comprised of one Common Share and one Common Share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.10 for a period of two years from the date of issuance, subject to early expiry in the event that the 5-day volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares ("VWAP") equals or exceeds $0.125.
The Common Shares and Warrants will be subject to a four month hold period under applicable securities laws in Canada. The Private Placement is fully subscribed and committed and is expected to close on or before November 18, 2019, subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").
Due to the participation of directors, officers and other insiders of Sugarbud, who are related parties of Sugarbud pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), the Private Placement will constitute a "related party transaction" within the meaning of MI 61-101. In its consideration and approval of the Private Placement, the board of directors of Sugarbud determined that the Private Placement was exempt from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 on the basis that the fair market value of the Private Placement to related parties did not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of Sugarbud, in accordance with Sections 5.5 and 5.7 of MI 61-101.
Pursuant to the Capital Equipment Financing, Sugarbud has the opportunity to utilize equipment financing to advance the final build out and full scale-up of two existing cultivation rooms and one new room. Under the terms of the agreement, Grand HVAC will provide Sugarbud with $0.4 million in immediate vendor lease back funds for capital equipment already deployed at the Company's cultivation facility in Stavely, Alberta (the "Stavely Facility"). The agreement has a six-year term and includes the option to buyout the equipment. The Capital Equipment Financing allows the Company to better utilize the collateral value associated with its Stavely Facility.
The Company is pursuing similar financing terms for the acquisition of additional HVAC, lighting and racking equipment associated with the final scale-up of the two licensed cultivation rooms Phase 1a and the first new cultivation room within Phase 1b. Such lease financing would allow the Company to fund approximately 75% ($2.2 million) of the $3.0 million estimated costs associated with the buildout.
Upon completion of this near-term capital expansion plan, Sugarbud estimates that it will have a dried cannabis production design capacity of approximately 4,150,550 – 5,836,800 grams annually. Sugarbud expects the final scale up of Phase 1a to be complete prior to starting their second harvest cycle in early Q1 2020 and the additional cultivation room in Phase 1b to be complete and fully licensed by Q3 of 2020.

Craig Kolochuk, SugarBud’s President and Chief Executive Officer stated: “This non-dilutive credit facility allows us to continue the diligent execution of our business plan prior to the receipt of our cultivation license from Health Canada, which we view as a major milestone and catalyst. We expect to obtain our cultivation license imminently, as we received confirmation of readiness from Health Canada on April 18, 2019 and we submitted our affirmation of readiness package prior thereto.”
It is SugarBud’s intention to replace this Credit Facility with a larger credit facility from another senior financial institution (the “Senior Facility”) upon receipt of SugarBud’s cultivation license from Health Canada. SugarBud is currently in negotiations with a leading credit union based in Alberta (the “Credit Union”) regarding the Senior Facility. It is expected that the Senior Facility will either be held by the Credit Union alone, or in a syndicate led by the Credit Union.
The Credit Facility is guaranteed by SugarBud and its wholly owned subsidiary Trichome Holdings Corp. The first $2 million of the Credit Facility is available for drawdown at SugarBud’s discretion, with draws thereafter subject to approval by Pillar. The Credit Facility bears interest at 12.5% per annum, calculated monthly on the daily balance outstanding. In connection with the Credit Facility, SugarBud will issue 1,000,000 common share purchase warrants to Pillar. Each warrant will entitle Pillar to purchase one common share of SugarBud at a price of $0.16 for a period of five years. The warrants will be subject to a four month hold period.
The Credit Facility and the issuance of warrants to Pillar are subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Company also announces that it has cancelled, at its discretion, the previously announced equity facility with Alumina Partners LLC. SugarBud would like to thank Alumina Partners LLC for their support through the Company’s growth to date.

SugarBud Receives Confirmation of Readiness Letter From Health Canada in Respect of Cannabis Cultivation Facility
GlobeNewswireApril 23, 2019, 5:00 AM MDT
TSX-Venture Exchange: SUGR, SUGR.WT
CALGARY, Alberta, April 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SugarBud Craft Growers Corp. (“SugarBud” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received a Confirmation of Readiness Letter (“COR Letter”) from Health Canada in respect of its cannabis cultivation facility in Stavely, Alberta (the “Facility”). The COR Letter requests SugarBud’s affirmative response that it has met Health Canada’s license application requirements. The “Confirmation of Readiness” stage is the final stage in the application process.
On March 6, 2019, SugarBud announced the submission of its Affirmation of Readiness and Video Evidence Package (“Evidence Package”) to Health Canada. The Evidence Package was meant to demonstrate to Health Canada that the Facility is fully functional and compliant under the Cannabis Act and Regulations. Upon SugarBud’s demonstration to Health Canada that its Facility is fully functional and compliant under the Cannabis Act and Regulations, the Company will be granted its cultivation license, at which point it will be permitted to cultivate cannabis.
Craig Kolochuk, President and Chief Executive Officer of SugarBud, stated: “Receiving our COR Letter is a major milestone for SugarBud in becoming a licensed producer of cannabis. We are currently in dialogue with Health Canada and promptly addressing any final questions and comments. We’ve submitted our Evidence Package and we are confident that our Facility is world class and compliant with the Cannabis Act and Regulations.”
Phase 1 of the Facility is comprised of 29,800 total square feet of floorplate. SugarBud estimates that under a full development scenario with four layers of flowering canopy, Phase 1 of the Facility will have up to 37,000 square feet of flowering canopy. At a metric of approximately 50 grams per square foot of flowering canopy per crop, and five crops per year, this equates to up to an estimated 9,250,000 grams of dried cannabis flower production per year.
