BEVCANNA ANNOUNCES STRENGTHENING OF BALANCE SHEET WITH DEBT SETTLEMENT AND
CLOSING OF FIFTH TRANCHE OF PROMISSORY NOTE FINANCING
In line with Bevcanna Enterprises Inc.'s continued efforts to
strengthen its balance sheet, the company intends to settle debts in the
aggregate amount of $1,930,742.55 owed by the company to certain creditors of the company in
exchange for an aggregate of 1,755,209 common shares at a
deemed price of $1.10 per debt settlement share.
The company also announces that, further to its previously disclosed news releases dated
Dec. 6, 2023, Jan. 22, 2024, Jan. 29, 2024, Feb. 23, 2024, and March 5, 2024, its
wholly owned subsidiary, Naturo Group Enterprises Inc., has closed the fifth tranche of
its private placement financing of secured promissory notes for gross proceeds of $71,764.70. Each note matures 12 months from the closing date and bears
interest of 15 per cent per annum, which interest was paid on closing and deducted from the gross
proceeds of the notes. The notes are secured against all of Naturo's present and after-acquired
personal property excluding Naturo's intellectual property.
The company intends to use the net proceeds from the note offering for outstanding payables and
general working capital purposes. No finders' fees were paid in connection with the closing of the
fifth tranche of the note offering. The company intends to close one or more additional tranches of
the note offering.
The proposed debt settlements with John Campbell and Howard Blank (together, the insider
settlements) are related party transactions within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -- Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (MI 61-101). The insider
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 insider
settlements will not exceed 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization. As the material change
report disclosing the insider settlements is being filed less 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 insider settlements, and, therefore, such shorter period is reasonable and necessary in the
circumstances to improve the company's financial position.
