Christina Lake Closes Non-Brokered Private Placement of Unsecured Convertible Debentures

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Christina Lake Cannabis Corp. (the “Company” or “CLC” or “Christina Lake Cannabis”) (CSE: CLC) (OTCQB: CLCFF) (FRANKFURT: CLB) is pleased to announce that it has closed the second tranche of a non-brokered private placement of unsecured convertible debentures (the “Debenture”) in the principal amount of CDN$150,000 (the “Offering”). The Company has raised a collective total of $960,000 between the first and second tranche of the private placement.

The Debenture will mature thirty-six (36) months from the date of issuance and bear interest at the rate of 15.0% per annum, with such interest to be accrued on a monthly basis and paid on a semi-annual basis. Pursuant to the terms of the Debenture, the subscriber may at any time prior to the Maturity Date convert the principal amounts of the Debenture and any accrued but unpaid interest into common shares of the Company ("Common Shares"), at a price of $0.15 per Common share.

The Debenture (principal and interest) will be unsecured debt obligations of the Company, and therefore subject to existing security interests (as applicable) and permitted encumbrances. The Debenture shall rank pari passu with all other Debentures, regardless of the date of issuance.

In connection with the issuance of the Debenture, the Corporation issued an aggregate of 75,000 bonus warrants (“Bonus Warrants”) to the subscriber of the Offering. The subscriber received one half of one Bonus Warrant for each $1 subscribed under the Offering. Each Bonus Warrant is exercisable until December 31, 2024 to acquire one additional Common Share per Bonus Warrant at an exercise price of $0.20 per share. The Bonus Warrants are subject to an acceleration clause, whereby if the volume weighted average price of CLC's Common Shares exceeds $0.40 per Common Share for a period of 20 days, the Company may accelerate the expiry of the Bonus Warrants by providing notice to the holder.

All securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a statutory four-month and one day hold period from the date of issuance pursuant to applicable securities laws of Canada. In connection with the second tranche of the private placement, the Company paid a finder’s fee of $9,000 cash to a qualified party.

Proceeds from the Offering will be used to finance and repatriate the purchase of processing equipment and working capital to continue the Company’s ongoing obligations.
