TCAN Transcanna Holdings Inc

TransCanna Holdings Inc. (CSE: TCAN, XETR: TH8) (“TransCanna” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced and upsized brokered private placement of units, generating aggregate gross proceeds of CDN$16.0 million.

An aggregate of 8,000,000 units of the Company (the “Units”) were sold at a price of CDN$2.00 per Unit (the “Offering”).  The Offering was conducted by a syndicate of agents co-led by Haywood Securities Inc. and Canaccord Genuity Corp., and including Gravitas Securities Inc. (collectively the “Agents”)

Each Unit comprised one common share of the Company (each a “Share”) and one half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire an additional Share at a price of $3.00 until April 4, 2022. The Warrants are issued pursuant to a warrant indenture dated April 4, 2019 between the Company and its warrant agent, Odyssey Trust Company. A copy of the warrant indenture is available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The Company has agreed to seek a listing of the Warrants on the CSE at such time as all applicable resale restrictions have lapsed, subject to receipt of listing approval.

A commission of 8.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering was paid partly through the payment of $576,668 in cash and in part through the issuance of 351,666 Units, as well as a corporate finance fee of $250,000, plus applicable taxes, of which $125,000 was paid in cash and the remaining $125,000 was paid through the issuance of 62,500 Units.  In addition, the Agents received an aggregate of 640,000 non-transferable compensation options to acquire up to 640,000 Shares at a price of $2.00 per Share until April 4, 2022.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to fund a US$8.0 million down payment for its proposed acquisition of the 196,000 sq ft cannabis facility as announced on February 4, 2019, for further equipment purchases and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company anticipates the completion of the facility acquisition to occur within the next three business days and will provide a further update at that time.

All securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a four month hold period expiring August 5, 2019 in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
