The securities issued under the Offering have a statutory hold period until September 30, 2020. The Company has applied to the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) for listing approval for the Common Shares underlying the Units and Common Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants.

The Company intends to use proceeds from the Offering for optimization of its Delta, BC facility (including a lights upgrade and outdoor grow), the launch of cannabis 2.0 products and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
