(ACN Newswire) – TransCanna Holdings Inc. (CSE: TCAN) (FSE: TH8) (“TransCanna” or the “Company”) announces that it completed the purchase of a 196,000 square foot vertically integrated cannabis facility.
“A tremendous effort by the TransCanna team on closing arguably the largest vertically integrated cannabis focused facility in California,” stated Jim Pakulis, CEO of TransCanna. “Simultaneous to putting our efforts into purchasing the facility, we’ve been searching extensively for the key individuals who will be overseeing the day to day operations. We’ve made great strides over the past several weeks and should be able to start making announcements by the end of the month.”
The total purchase price for the Property was US$15 million. The Company’s CEO paid the seller a US$250,000 non-refundable deposit to secure the property, which has since been reimbursed by the Company, and the Company will pay an US$8 million down payment from the proceeds of the Company’s over-subscribed brokered private placement once closed (see news releases dated February 20, 2019 and March 14, 2019). In consideration of the issuance of 500,000 common shares of the Company, the seller of the building agreed to a carry back note of US$6.750 million at 7% p.a. interest only for up to thirteen months, with an initial maturity date of October 15, 2019, subject to a six-month extension. See March 20th press release for additional terms.
The Company has also issued to the seller 1,200,000 share purchase warrants exercisable to acquire a common share of the Company at an exercise price of $2.60 per share until April 15, 2024, vesting in equal quarterly portions over a 12-month period commencing on February 21, 2019, notwithstanding the warrants were issued today.
Additionally, a success fee of up to 2,000,000 common shares was paid to Haywood Securities Inc. in consideration of financial advisory services being provided to the Company in connection with the facility acquisition.
All of the securities issuable to the seller or Haywood Securities Inc. in connection with the facility acquisition are subject to a four month hold period ending on August 16, 2019 as well as applicable restrictions under U.S. securities laws.
