Empower Clinics Inc. (CSE: EPW; FRA: 8EC), a leading owner and operator of medical cannabis and wellness clinics in the US, today announced that officers of the company, as well as significant founding shareholders of Empower’s predecessor company, have entered a three-year escrow related to the company common shares that represent more than 40% of the company’s currently issued and outstanding shares.

The escrow agreements provide that these shareholders will not sell or otherwise dispose of any shares, or enter into any transaction to such effect, directly or indirectly, unless detailed provisions of the escrow are met.

“These agreements reaffirm that Empower’s executive team and our largest shareholders believe strongly in the company’s vision and, more importantly, in our ability to continue executing our long-term growth strategy.” said Craig Snyder, Empower CEO.

The company also announced that it intends to close a non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”) of an aggregate principal amount of $575,060 in convertible debentures (the “Convertible Debentures”). Each Convertible Debenture will bear interest at a rate of 7% per annum, which will be payable in cash on the date that is one year from the closing date of the Offering (the “Maturity Date”). On the Maturity Date, all of the principal amount of the then outstanding Convertible Debentures will convert, at a conversion price of $0.18, into units consisting of one common share in the capital of the company (the “Common Shares”) and one warrant to purchase Common Shares at an exercise price of $0.19 per warrant for a period of one year from the Maturity Date.

The Convertible Debentures issued pursuant to this Offering will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the closing date of the Offering.
