BEVCANNA ANNOUNCES STRENGTHENING OF FINANCIAL POSITION WITH LOANS AND DEBT SETTLEMENT; COMPANY STRENGTHENS FINANCIAL POSITION, SECURES LOAN, AND OPTIMIZES SUBSIDIARY PORTFOLIO
In line with its continued efforts to strengthen its balance sheet, Bevcanna Enterprises Inc. intends to settle debt in the aggregate amount of $3,057,715.22 owed by the company to certain creditors of the company in exchange for 87,363,286 common shares at a deemed price of 3.5 cents per debt settlement share.
The company also announces that its wholly owned subsidiary, Naturo Group Enterprises Inc., closed a $320,000 secured promissory note private placement financing. The loan is due in
12 months and bears interest of 15 per cent per annum, payable on closing. Repayment of the
promissory note is due on the earlier of the maturity date.
The company also announces that its wholly owned subsidiary, Naturo, received a $100,000 short-term
mortgage loan from a third party. The loan is secured with a second charge on Naturo's land and
property at Bridesville. The loan is due in 12 months and bears interest of 15 per cent per annum.
The company also announces that it completed the voluntary dissolution of its wholly owned subsidiary
Embark Woodstock Inc. on Dec. 4, 2023, which had no assets before dissolution. This strategic
move aligns with the company's continuing optimization efforts.
The proposed debt settlements with Martino Ciambrelli and Bruce Dawson-Scully are related-party transactions within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101
(Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions). The settlements are
exempt from the valuation requirement of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemptions contained in Section
5.5(b) of MI 61-101 as the company's common shares are not listed on a specified market and from the
minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemption contained in
Section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in that the fair market value of the settlements will not exceed 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization. As the material change report disclosing the settlements is being filed
fewer than 21 days before the transaction, there is a requirement under MI 61-101 to explain why the
shorter period was reasonable or necessary in the circumstances. In the view of the company, it is
necessary to immediately close the settlements, and therefore, such shorter period is reasonable and
necessary in the circumstances to improve the company's financial position.
