Maricann Group Announces Amendment to Terms of Private Placement

Maricann Group Inc. (CSE:MARI) (FRANKFURT:75M) (OTCQB:MRRCF) announced today that it has amended the terms of its previously disclosed private placement (See press release dated July 18, 2018).  The Company proposes to issue up to $30,000,000 of special warrants at a price of $1.60 per Special Warrant.  Canaccord Genuity Corp. and GMP Securities L.P., will act as joint bookrunners and co-lead agents on a marketed, “best efforts” private placement basis.

Each Special Warrant shall be automatically exercisable (without payment of any further consideration) into units of the Company (the “Units”) on the date that is the earlier of: (i) the date that is three business days following the date on which the Corporation obtains a receipt from the applicable securities regulatory authorities in the Province of Ontario and each of the jurisdictions in Canada in which the Special Warrants are sold (collectively, the “Securities Commissions”) for a (final) prospectus qualifying the distribution of the Units issuable upon exercise of the Special Warrants (the “Qualification Prospectus”) and (ii) the date that is four months and one day after the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), subject to adjustment in certain events.  In the event the Company has not received a receipt from the Securities Commissions for the Qualifying Prospectus before October 4, 2018, each unexercised Special Warrant will thereafter entitle the holder to receive upon the exercise thereof, at no additional consideration, 1.05 Units (instead of one Unit).

Each Unit will consist of one common share (a “Common Share”) and one common share purchase warrant of the Company (a “Warrant”).  Each Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company (a “Warrant Share”) for a period of two years following the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) of the Offering at an exercise price of $1.75 per share, subject to adjustment in certain events.  Beginning on the date that is four months plus one day following the Closing Date, the Corporation may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants on not less than 20 days’ notice should the daily volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) be greater than $2.00 for any 10 consecutive trading days.

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

Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about August 3, 2018 (the “Closing Date”). The Offering is in the form of a best efforts private placement (i) in Canada to “accredited investors” within the meaning of National Instrument 45-106, (ii) in the United States only to Qualified Institutional Buyers (within the meaning of Rule 144A) and/or Accredited Investors (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D) pursuant to available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “United States Securities Act”), and in each case in compliance with the securities laws of the applicable States of the United States and (iii) outside Canada and the United States on a basis which does not require the qualification or registration of any of the Debentures or the Issuer.

The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This news release will not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor will there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

All securities issued will be subject to a four month hold period subject to the Company obtaining a receipt for the Qualification Prospectus prior thereto. The Offering is subject to a number of conditions, including, without limitation, receipt of all regulatory approvals.
