James E. Wagner Cultivation Corporation (“
JWC” or
the “
Corporation”) (TSXV: JWCA), is pleased to
announce that on October 3, 2019, JWC entered into a non-binding,
indicative term sheet with Trichome Financial Corp.
(“
Trichome Financial”), summarizing the principal
terms and conditions of a proposed loan of $4,000,000 to be
advanced by Trichome Financial to JWC in two tranches (the
“
Term Sheet”).
Pursuant to the Term Sheet, the first tranche,
in the amount of $2,850,000 (the “First Tranche
Advance”), shall be advanced by Trichome Financial to JWC
upon the execution of a definitive agreement between the parties
(the “Definitive Agreement”), scheduled to take
place on or before October 18, 2019 (such date or such other date
as agreed by the parties, the “Closing Date”). The
second tranche, in the amount of $1,150,000, shall be advanced by
Trichome Financial to JWC upon satisfaction of certain conditions
precedent in favour of Trichome Financial (the “Second
Tranche Advance”, and together with the First Tranche
Advance, the “Loan”).
The term of the Loan shall be for two years
calculated from the Closing Date, and shall be payable in full upon
maturity. Interest on the Loan shall be paid monthly in cash at a
rate of 9.25% per annum on the then outstanding amount of the Loan,
with all outstanding interest payable upon maturity. JWC shall use
the net proceeds of the Loan to finance construction and capital
expenditures related to phases 2C and 3 of its facility located at
530 Manitou Drive in Kitchener, Ontario and for general working
capital requirements (the “Use of Proceeds”). The
Use of Proceeds shall be further defined in the Definitive
Agreement. As security for the Loan, JWC shall provide Trichome
Financial with a perfected, first lien on current and future
tangible and intangible assets and equity interests (including a
share pledge from all active subsidiaries) of JWC and each of the
direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries organized under JWC.
In the event JWC, for whatever reason, cannot or elects not to
close the First Tranche Advance portion of the Loan on or before
the Closing Date, or any mutual extension thereof, JWC shall pay
Trichome Financial a cash fee in the amount equal to 10% of the
number of Bonus Warrants that would have been issued as Additional
Consideration multiplied by the Exercise Price, subject to the
option of being settled in warrants of JWC in accordance with TSX
Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) Policy 4.3 – Shares for
Debt, should the need arise.
For greater certainty, the Loan shall be in
addition to the $3,500,000 term loan previously advanced by
Trichome Financial to JWC, pursuant to the previously disclosed
loan agreement dated February 19, 2019.
As additional consideration for providing the
Loan (the “Additional Consideration”) and pursuant
to TSXV Policy 5.1 – Loans, Loan Bonuses, Finder’s Fees and
Commissions, JWC intends issue to Trichome Financial warrants to
purchase common shares of JWC (the “Bonus
Warrants”) in an amount equal to 50% of the Loan divided
by the lower of a 5% premium to: (i) the price per share of JWCA.V
on October 3, 2019; and (ii) the price per share of JWCA.V on the
last trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date, which
lower amount shall be the exercise price at which each Bonus
Warrant shall be exercisable into common shares of JWC (the
“Exercise Price”). Based on the closing price of
JWCA.V on October 3, 2019, the Exercise Price would be $0.5565, and
the amount of Bonus Warrants given as the Additional Consideration
with respect to the Loan would be 3,593,890 Bonus Warrants. Such
amount is below the maximum number of warrants that may be granted
pursuant to Section 2.2(b) of TSXV Policy 5.1 with respect to the
First Tranche Advance which, as of market close on October 3, 2019,
is 5,027,830 warrants. The Bonus Warrants will be exercisable for
a period of two years from the date of issuance, which shall be the
Closing Date.
