NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

EDMONTON, Alberta, June 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alcanna Inc. (the “Company”) (TSX: CLIQ) and Aurora Cannabis Inc. (“Aurora”) (NYSE/TSX: ACB) jointly announce the successful closing of the Company's secondary offering of 9,200,000 common shares of the Company (the “Offered Shares”) held by an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Aurora (the “Selling Shareholder”) at a price of $3.00 per Offered Share by way of short form prospectus for total gross proceeds to the Selling Shareholder of approximately $27.6 million (the “Offering”). No common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”) were sold from treasury pursuant to the Offering. The net proceeds from the Offering were paid directly to the Selling Shareholder, and the Company did not receive any proceeds from the Offering.

The Offering was made through a syndicate of underwriters on a bought deal basis led by Cormark Securities Inc., and including AltaCorp Capital Inc. and CIBC World Markets Inc. (collectively, the "Underwriters"). The Underwriters were not granted an over-allotment option in connection with the Offering.

As a result of the closing of the Offering, neither Aurora nor the Selling Shareholder beneficially own, control or exercise direction over any Common Shares. Aurora also surrendered for cancellation 1,750,000 Common Share purchase warrants (the "Pro Rata Warrants") previously issued to the Selling Shareholder for no consideration. Upon their exercise at $15.00 per Pro Rata Warrant, the Pro Rata Warrants provided the Selling Shareholder with the ability to maintain its pro rata equity ownership in the Company upon the conversion into Common Shares of any of the Corporation’s outstanding convertible unsecured subordinated 4.70% debentures due January 31, 2022. Alcanna, Aurora and the Selling Shareholder also amended the investor rights agreement dated February 14, 2018 between the parties to terminate certain provisions of such agreement that had expired or provided Aurora and such Selling Shareholder with certain rights that were intended to be based on the continued ownership of the Offered Shares.
