SAN MATEO, Calif., Feb. 28, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) (OTCQB: PLPRF) (the “Company” or “Plus Products”) is pleased to announce that it has closed the previously announced best efforts private placement with Canaccord Genuity Corp., as lead agent, together with a syndicate of agents (collectively, the “Agents”), for 25,000 units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of C$1,000 for gross proceeds of C$25,000,000 (the “Offering”).

Gotham Green Partners and Stable Road Capital were two of the lead investors in the private placement.

Jason Adler, Managing Member of Gotham Green Partners noted: “We are thrilled to continue to have the opportunity to invest in PLUS. PLUS has built a tremendous brand and the management team is second to none. We look forward to working closely with the company to help them achieve their goals”.

“We are thankful for the support we have received from our past investors, and from new investors, as we continue to reach our goal of becoming the strongest cannabis brand in the world by delivering on our mission to make cannabis safe and approachable,” said Jake Heimark, CEO of Plus Products.

Each Unit consists of one unsecured convertible note (each, a “Convertible Note”) accruing interest at 8% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears until maturity, and 77 subordinate voting share purchase warrants of the Company (each, a “Warrant”). The Convertible Notes have a maturity date of 24 months from the closing date, being February 28, 2019.

Each Convertible Note shall be convertible into subordinate voting shares in the capital of the Company (each, a “Conversion Share”) at a price of $6.50 (the “Conversion Price”) per Conversion Share commencing on the date which is seven months after the closing date.

Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one subordinate voting share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Warrant Share”) for an exercise price of $8.00 per Warrant Share for a period of five years following the closing date. If exercised during the first 12 months after the closing date, the underlying shares shall be subject to a 365-day contractual hold from the closing date.

The Convertible Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu in right of payment of principal and interest with all other Convertible Notes issued under the Offering and all other unsecured indebtedness of the Company.

The Agents received a cash commission on the sale of the Offering of C$1,268,350, plus C$98,750 as agents’ expenses, including legal fees.  The Agents also received 100,823 compensation warrants, each carrying the right to purchase one subordinate voting share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Compensation Warrant Share”) at a price of $8.00 per Compensation Warrant Share for a period of two years from the closing date.

The proceeds from the Offering will be used by the Company for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The Convertible Notes, Warrants and Compensation Warrants issued pursuant to the Offering and any subordinate voting shares in the capital of the Company issued on conversion of the Convertible Notes or exercise of the Warrants or Compensation Warrants are subject to a statutory hold period in Canada of four months and one day following the closing date in accordance with applicable securities laws, which shall expire on June 29, 2019. Additional resale restriction may be applicable under the laws of other jurisdictions, if any.
