Emblem and Natura Naturals announce termination of letter of intent
TORONTO, Sept. 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Emblem Corp. (TSXV: EMC, OTCQX: EMMBF) (“Emblem” or the “Company”) through its wholly-owned subsidiary Emblem Cannabis Corporation, a licensed producer of medical cannabis under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (“ACMPR”), and Natura Naturals Holdings Inc. (“Natura”) announced the termination of their letter of intent as of 5 p.m. EST on September 13, 2018.
Emblem looks forward to maintaining its strong business relationship with the Natura team as both a shareholder and in connection with our existing 3,000 kg supply agreement in the coming years.

In addition, as previously announced, Emblem recently provided $2 million of advanced funding to Natura for the expansion of its facility (the “Funding”). The Funding is comprised of a one-year convertible debenture for an aggregate principal amount of up to $2 million, with an interest rate similar to Natura’s other funding obligations and can be pre-paid at any time during the term. The first tranche of $500,000 was advanced on August 23, 2018, with subsequent payments made on August 30, September 6 and September 13, 2018. The Funding is convertible into Natura shares at $0.80 per share plus one full share purchase warrant exercisable at $1.05. In the event Emblem elects to convert the Funding into Natura shares, Natura and Emblem would concurrently enter into an additional 2,000 kg supply agreement on substantially the same terms as the supply agreement completed on July 17, 2018.
