GROWN ROGUE CLOSES US$7.0M CREDIT FACILITY AT ~9% INTEREST

Grown Rogue International Inc. has closed a $7.0-million (U.S.) credit facility with a national, Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.-insured commercial bank. The company intends to use the proceeds to support existing growth initiatives, provide additional working capital and refinance a small amount of existing debt. The obligations owing under the credit facility are secured by way of a general security agreement.

The credit facility has a term of four years and bears interest at a rate equal to the greater of: (a) the secured overnight financing rate plus 4.9 per cent; and (b) 9.0 per cent per annum. Based on the current SOFR rate of 4.3 per cent, this implies a current interest rate of 9.2 per cent per annum. The facility amortizes over a six-year period, and there are no prepayment penalties. Interest will be paid on a monthly basis.

"We are pleased to be announcing the closing of this loan with a top-50 bank holding company in the United States at attractive terms," said Obie Strickler, chief executive officer of Grown Rogue. "We appreciate the support the bank is demonstrating in our business, and we look forward to building upon this new banking relationship."
