Canntab Closes Final Tranche of Private Placement for Aggregate Proceeds of $3.7m

TORONTO, March 16, 2020 /CNW/ – Canntab Therapeutics Limited (CSE:PILL.CN)(OTCQB:CTABF) (FRA:TBF1.F) (the “Company” or “Canntab“), the leading innovator in cannabinoid and terpene blends in hard pill form for therapeutic applications, is pleased to announce that it has closed the final tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement“) by issuing 1,291,000 units (“Units“) at a price of $0.50 per Unit for gross proceeds of $645,500. Together with the funds raised under the first tranche of the Private Placement, the Company has received total gross proceeds of $3,725,500 under the Private Placement.

“With the gross proceeds from this financing we now have the capital to completely implement our business plan. Raising significant equity during these extraordinary market conditions coupled with the inherent recent challenges in the Cannabis space in particular is a testament to the level of interest which exists in the future of Canntab,” explains Richard Goldstein, Co-founder & Chief Financial Officer of Canntab. Mr. Goldstein concludes, “we began as a pharmaceutical company more than a decade ago, and we will continue to operate as a pharmaceutical company producing the most advanced medical cannabis solutions.”

The Private Placement was previously announced on February 6, 2020.  Pursuant to the closing of both tranches of the Private Placement, Canntab has issued 7,451,000 Units for gross proceeds of $3,725,500. Each Unit consists of one common share (a “Common Share“) and one full warrant (a “Warrant“) to acquire an additional common share at a price of $0.75 per share for a period of 24 months.

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company paid fees to a syndicate of registrants that were comprised of cash fees of $228,095 and issued 456,190 finder’s warrants, which each entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.50 for a period of 24 months.
