Jushi Holdings Inc. Announces Acceleration of Warrants Expiry Date Issued in Conjunction with April 2018 and June 2018 Privat...
November 24 2020 - 7:00AM
Jushi Holdings Inc. (“Jushi” or the
“Company”) (CSE: JUSH)
(OTCMKTS: JUSHF), a
vertically integrated, multi-state cannabis operator, announced
that it has exercised its right to accelerate the expiry date of
subordinate voting share purchase warrants (the "Warrants") issued
to participants in the Company's previously-announced private
placement offerings, which closed in April 2018 and June 2018 (the
"Offerings"). Participants have thirty days from the date of notice
of the acceleration to exercise their Warrants.
Each Warrant issued in conjunction with the
Offerings entitled the holder to purchase one subordinate voting
share in the capital of Jushi for a period of 24 months from June
10, 2019 (i.e. June 10, 2021) at an exercise price of USD$2.00 per
share, subject to adjustment in certain events. Jushi retained the
right to require the acceleration of the expiry date of these
Warrants if the Company's twenty-trading-day
volume-weighted-average-price ("VWAP") on the Canadian Securities
Exchange (CSE) exceeded USD$3.00 (“Accelerated Expiry Date”). This
was achieved during the trading period from October 27, 2020
through November 23, 2020. Management expects redemptions of the
Warrants to result in the issuance of approximately 15 million
additional subordinate voting shares and cash proceeds of
approximately USD$30 million, however, there can be no assurance
that any of the Warrants will be exercised prior to the Accelerated
Expiry Date.
Jim Cacioppo, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman
and Founder of Jushi, commented, “Jushi continues to build scale
and tactically expand our footprint in both our current and
developing markets, with a focus on high quality, limited license
opportunities. We are grateful for the continued support of our
shareholders and expect to leverage these proceeds together with
our strong balance sheet to accelerate our growth while continuing
to generate strong shareholder value.”
Warrant holders who wish to exercise their
Warrants should contact their investment advisor and submit an
exercise notice form to Jushi’s Investor Relations Department at
investors@jushico.com. Any Warrants that have not been exercised
by 5:00 p.m. (eastern time) at the end of 30 days notice
will automatically be cancelled.
