WeedMD Inc. (“
WeedMD” or the
“
Company”) (TSX-V:WMD) (OTCQX:WDDMF) (FSE:4WE), a
federally-licensed producer and distributor of medical-grade
cannabis, announced today that, further to its press release dated
February 11, 2021 announcing a $17.5 million bought deal financing
(the “
Offering”), the Company has entered into an
amended and restated underwriting agreement dated March 2, 2021,
with Eight Capital and Canaccord Genuity Corp., as joint
bookrunners and co-lead underwriters (the “
Co-Lead
Underwriters”), and INFOR Financial Inc. (together with
the Co-Lead Underwriters, the “
Underwriters”) to
amend the terms of the Offering to issue to the Underwriters
31,250,000 units of the Company (the “
Units”) at a
price per Unit of $0.48 (the “
Issue Price”) for
gross proceeds of $15,000,000. Each Unit will be comprised of one
common share of the Company (a “
Common Share”) and
one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant,
“
Warrant”). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder
thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.60,
for a period of 24 months following the closing of the Offering.
The Company has amended the over-allotment
option to allow for purchases by the Underwriters of up to an
additional 4,687,500 Units at the Issue Price, exercisable in whole
or in part, at any time on or prior to the date that is 30 days
following the closing of the Offering. If this option is exercised
in full, an additional approximately $2,250,000 will be raised
pursuant to the Offering and the aggregate proceeds of the Offering
will be approximately $17,250,000.
If, after the one-year anniversary of the
closing of the Offering, the daily volume weighted average trading
price of the shares on the TSX Venture Exchange for any 10
consecutive days equals or exceeds $0.96, the Company may, upon
providing written notice to the holders of the Warrants, accelerate
the expiry date of the Warrants to the date that is 30 days
following the date of such written notice.
All other terms of the Offering remain
unchanged.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of
the Offering for working capital and general corporate
purposes.
The Units will be offered by way of an amended
and restated final short form prospectus to be filed in all
provinces of Canada, except Quebec and Newfoundland. The closing
date of the Offering is scheduled to be on or about March 12, 2021
and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to,
the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of
the applicable securities regulatory authorities.
This press release shall not constitute an offer
to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be
any sale of the securities in any state in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The securities being
offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the
United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be
offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an
applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the
United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable
state securities laws.
