International Cannabrands Enters into $10 Million Equity Facility with New York Private Equity Firm Alumina Partners LLC

Calgary, Alberta (FSCwire) - International Cannabrands Inc. (CSE:JUJU.A) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding agreement for a draw-down equity facility of up to CDN$10,000,000 over a term of 24 months. The agreement provides for equity private placement offerings (the “Offerings”), to be conducted between the Company and Alumina Partners (Ontario) Ltd. (“Alumina Partners”), a subsidiary of Alumina Partners LLC, a New York based private equity firm.

The draw downs are at the sole discretion of the Company and may be for up to $1,000,000 per draw down and would consist of the issuance by the Company of units, whereby each unit consists of one common share (a “Common Share”) and up to one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"), and each unit being purchased at a discount ranging from 15% to 25% of the then current market price of the Common Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”). Alumina Partners will only receive a full warrant when an Offering is priced at or above $0.30.  The exercise price of the Warrants will be at a 25% premium over the then current market price of the Common Shares and will provide for an accelerated expiry should the Company’s Common Shares trade on the CSE, for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, at a premium of at least 100% above the warrant exercise price.

The purpose of the Offerings is to provide the Company with financial flexibility and control over the financing of its working capital requirements, and provide access to capital as deemed necessary by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Steve Gormley, President and CEO commented: “We are excited to work with Alumina Partners who have an excellent reputation in financing companies in the emerging Cannabis space. Access to this capital combined with our other financing efforts will enable us to move forward with the completion of the acquisition of La Vida Verde, the Company’s first accretive, highly valuable investment and acquisition.”

“We are seeing the highest margins and revenue growth in the ultra-premium cannabis space. Combining strong brands with increasingly diverse product offerings through a highly selective acquisitions roadmap is a winning combination, and we are proud to stand behind International Cannabrands as they aggressively execute on that strategy moving forward,” added Adi Nahmani, Alumina’s Managing Member.
