WeedMD Announces Amendments to Existing Credit Facility
July 02 2020 - 7:10AM
WeedMD Inc. (
TSX-V:WMD)
(OTCQX:WDDMF) (FSE:4WE) (“
WeedMD”
or the “
Company”), a federally-licensed producer
and distributor of medical-grade cannabis, is pleased to confirm it
has signed an amendment to its senior secured credit facility
entered into on March 29, 2019 (the “Credit Facility”) (the “Credit
Agreement Amendment”). The Credit Agreement Amendment modifies the
terms of the Credit Facility under which WeedMD secured up to $39
million of debt financing over a three-year term ending in 2022.
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement
Amendment, the Company secured a deferral of its financial
covenants by 12 months to June 30, 2021, and quarterly principal
repayments have been rescheduled to commence in the first quarter
of 2021. In addition, the Company has agreed to a 50 basis point
increase in the applicable interest rate margin on the Credit
Facility.
“WeedMD is forging ahead with a robust
cultivation platform, a growing portfolio of branded products and a
solid distribution network backed by a fortified balance sheet and
strength of its non-dilutive, tier-one bank financing,” said
Lincoln Greenidge, CFO of WeedMD. “We’re looking ahead into the
second half of 2020 and beyond with confidence and financial
discipline as we continue carving our profitability path.”
