NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR
DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
TORONTO, Sept. 10, 2018 /CNW/ - Golden Leaf Holdings Ltd.
("Golden Leaf" or the "Company") (CSE:GLH) (OTCQB:GLDFF), a cannabis company with cultivation, production and retail operations
built around recognized brands, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Canaccord Genuity Corp. ("Canaccord
Genuity") as sole agent and bookrunner with respect to a "best efforts" private placement of unsecured convertible subordinated
debenture units (the "Offering").
Pursuant to the Offering, the Company has engaged Canaccord Genuity to offer to sell, on a best efforts, private placement
basis, up to C$15 million of debenture units (the "Units") of the Company, each Unit to be
comprised of one C$1,000 principal amount unsecured convertible subordinated debenture (each, a
"Debenture" and collectively, the "Debentures") accruing interest at 12% per annum until December 31,
2019, after which date interest will decrease to 10% per annum, and be payable semi-annually until maturity, and 1,665
common share purchase warrants of the Company (each, a "Warrant" and collectively, the "Warrants"), at a price of C$1,000 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to C$15 million. Each
Debenture is convertible into common shares of the Company (each, a "Common Share") at a conversion price of C$0.30 per Common Share (the "Conversion Price"), subject to adjustment and acceleration in certain events. The
Debentures will mature 36 months from the closing of the Offering. Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Common
Share at a price of C$0.40 per Common Share for a period of two years following the closing of the
Offering, subject to adjustment in certain events. The net proceeds from the Offering are anticipated to be used for working
capital and general corporate purposes.
Beginning on the date that is four months and one day following the closing of the Offering, the Company may force the
conversion of the then outstanding principal amount of the Debentures (plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon) at the
Conversion Price on not less than 30 days' notice should the daily volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares be
greater than $0.45 for any 10 consecutive trading days.
The Debentures will rank pari passu in right of payment of principal and interest with all other Debentures issued under the
Offering and shall be subordinated to all existing secured indebtedness of the Company, including the issued and outstanding
senior secured convertible debentures of the Company.
Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about October 4, 2018.
The Units are being offered in all provinces of Canada and will also be offered in other
jurisdictions determined by the Company and Canaccord Genuity.
The Offering is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and
stock exchange approvals.
The Debentures and Warrants issued pursuant to the Offering and any Common Shares issued on conversion of the Debentures or
exercise of the Warrants will be subject to a statutory hold period in Canada of four months and
one day following the closing of the Offering in accordance with applicable securities laws. Additional resale restriction may be
applicable under the laws of other jurisdictions, if any.
