All financial figures in Canadian Dollars ($) unless otherwise noted.
OTTAWA, June 19, 2018 /CNW/ – CannaRoyalty Corp. (CSE: CRZ) (OTCQX: CNNRF) (“CannaRoyalty” or the “Company”), a leading North American cannabis products and brands company, announced today that it has retained Canaccord Genuity Corp. as lead agent to undertake a fully marketed private placement of unsecured convertible debentures (“Convertible Debentures”) on a commercially reasonable efforts basis to raise gross proceeds of up to CAD$30 million, with the terms and conditions of the Convertible Debentures to be determined in the context of the market.
The proceeds from the Offering will be primarily used by the Company to expand its footprint across California. To complement its central distribution hub and its contract manufacturing facility in Oakland, California, the Company intends to further develop:
- the RVR distribution hub in Sacramento (leased, licensed);
- a new RVR distribution hub outside of Los Angeles (agreement to purchase, subject to license);
- a recently licensed manufacturing and distribution centre in Sonoma County (agreement to purchase, licensed);
- a volatile extraction facility in Sonoma County (agreement to lease, subject to license); and
- the Floracal Farms cultivation facility in Sonoma County (agreement to lease, licensed).
This expansion will substantially reinforce CannaRoyalty’s cross state distribution infrastructure, better positioning it to meet the strong consumer demand for cannabis products since the state transitioned to a full adult-use cannabis market on January 1, 2018. By expanding its footprint to include further contract manufacturing, volatile extraction and exotic cultivation capabilities, the Company will be able to support a broader range of 3rd party brand partners on its platform.
We are now well down the path to our goal of becoming a leading distributor of cannabis products in California, which we believe is the most attractive cannabis brands jurisdiction in the world. That’s why we are seeking to raise funds to substantially invest in our infrastructure and future growth in California.
