Glass House Brands Inc. ("
Glass
House" or the "
Company") (CBOE CA:
GLAS.A.U) (CBOE CA: GLAS.WT.U) (OTCQX: GLASF) (OTCQX:GHBWF)
announced today that, further to its news release dated November
13, 2024, it has filed a prospectus supplement (the
"
Prospectus Supplement") to its short form base
shelf prospectus dated May 16, 2024 (the "
Shelf
Prospectus") with the securities regulatory authorities in
all provinces and territories of Canada.
Glass House Brands Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO
stated, “During the third quarter, we delivered record setting
results, highlighted by a 128% year-over-year increase in cannabis
production, a record low quarterly cultivation cost of $103 per
pound and robust growth in retail and consumer packaged goods. All
three business lines, wholesale biomass, retail and wholesale CPG,
achieved positive year-on-year and sequential revenue growth. As I
mentioned on our earnings call, we’ve had many conversations with
bankers about raising debt and equity capital over the past six
months, and we aim to raise approximately $25 million to fund our
Phase 3 expansion. The ATM program is a part of our fund-raising
plans. Because we can pay existing obligations from our current
operating cash flow and have no upcoming debt maturities for more
than two years, we will take our time in choosing the most
advantageous pricing and timing to execute the ATM program and
other potential financings.”
“We are focused on taking advantage of the
current market conditions in California to expand market share, and
as such, we are moving ahead aggressively with our expansion plans.
We expect to spend $5 million in Capex related to Phase 3 expansion
in the fourth quarter of 2024. This retrofit will include the
addition of blackout curtains, shade screens, new gutters, a
misting system, CO2 systems, and grow pipes. We are particularly
excited because unlike our other greenhouses, Greenhouse 2 has
nearly 11,000 lights already installed. We expect to start
generating revenue by the fourth quarter of 2025, with production
estimated at 275,000 pounds of cannabis in its first full year.
Besides the additional production volume, we also believe
Greenhouse 2 will grow our highest quality flower and be the most
consistent year round thanks to the lights and other additional
cultivation tools that will be part of the retrofit. The lights
will also mean that its production should be less affected by the
seasons and would allow us to take advantage of the cyclically
higher prices in the front half of the year.”
The Prospectus Supplement has been filed in
connection with the Company's previously announced at-the-market
distribution program (the "ATM Program"), pursuant
to which the Company may from time to time sell up to US$25 million
of its subordinate voting shares, restricted voting shares and
limited voting shares (collectively, the “Equity
Shares”).
Since the Equity Shares will be distributed at
trading prices prevailing at the time of the sale, prices may vary
between purchasers and during the period of distribution. The
volume and timing of sales, if any, will be determined at the sole
discretion of the Company's management and in accordance with the
terms of the equity distribution agreement dated November 13, 2024
among the Company, ATB Securities Inc. and Canaccord Genuity Corp.
(the "Equity Distribution Agreement"). The Company
currently intends to use the net proceeds of the ATM Program, if
any, primarily for Phase III expansion and/or general corporate
purposes.
Sales of Equity Shares, if any, under the ATM
Program are anticipated to be made in transactions that are deemed
to be "at-the-market distributions" as defined in National
Instrument 44-102 – Shelf Distributions, as sales made directly on
Cboe Canada or any other recognized Canadian "marketplace" within
the meaning of National Instrument 21-101 – Marketplace
Operation.
A copy of the Shelf Prospectus, the Prospectus
Supplement and the Equity Distribution Agreement may be found on
SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) under the Company's issuer profile.
An electronic or paper copy of the Shelf
Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement and the Equity Distribution
Agreement, and any amendment to the documents, may also be obtained
without charge, upon request only, by contacting ATB Securities
Inc. by email at atbcm_dealflow@atb.com or from Canaccord Genuity
Corp. by email at ecm@cgf.com. The Shelf Prospectus and Prospectus
Supplement contain important, detailed information about Glass
House and the ATM Program. Prospective investors should read the
Shelf Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement before making an
investment decision.
This news release shall not constitute an offer
to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be
any sale of the Equity Shares in any jurisdiction in which an
offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration
or qualification under the securities laws of any such
jurisdiction. The Equity Shares will not be offered, sold or
delivered, directly or indirectly within the United States (as such
term is defined in Regulation S under the United States Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities
Act")) except pursuant to transactions exempt from
registration under the U.S. Securities Act and under the securities
laws of any applicable state.
