AURORA CANNABIS ANNOUNCES UPSIZE OF PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED BOUGHT DEAL FINANCING TO $60 MILLION

Aurora Cannabis Inc. has entered into a revised agreement with a syndicate of underwriters led by Canaccord Genuity Corp. to increase the size of its previously announced bought deal financing to $60-million aggregate gross proceeds, representing 20 million units of the company at a price of $3 per unit.

Each unit will comprise one common share of the company and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will be exercisable to acquire one common share for a period of three years following the closing date of the offering at an exercise price of $4 per warrant share, subject to adjustment in certain events.

Aurora has also granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to three million additional units of the company on the same terms as the offering. If the overallotment option is exercised in full, the aggregate gross proceeds of the offering will be $69-million.

Net proceeds from the offering will be used primarily toward the company's strategic growth initiatives, including continued domestic and international expansion, and for general working capital purposes.

The offering is in the form of a bought deal public offering: (i) in each of the provinces of Canada (other than Quebec); (ii) in the United States only to qualified institutional buyers (within the meaning of Rule 144A), and in each case in compliance with the securities laws of the applicable states of the United States, to investors that the underwriters have reasonable grounds to believe and do believe are qualified institutional buyers; and (iii) outside Canada and the United States on a basis which does not require the qualification or registration of any of the common shares, warrants and warrant shares of the issuer.

Closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about Nov. 2, 2017, and is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and stock exchange approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange and the applicable securities regulatory authorities.
