$ELIXF Elixxer Ltd. Closes Amended Secured Loan with AIP Convertible Private Debt Fund L.PPress Release | 05/25/2022
Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - May 25, 2022) - Elixxer Ltd. (TSXV: ELXR) (OTC Pink: ELIXF) ("Elixxer" or the "Company) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced (see press release of February 22, 2022) amended loan with AIP Convertible Private Debt Fund L.P., AIP Asset Management Inc. and related and affiliated companies ("AIP"). Further to the amendment, AIP has loaned the Company an additional $4 million (the "Additional Disbursement") which will: (i) have a maturity of 24 months from the date of closing; (ii) bear interest at the rate of 17% per annum; and (iii) be secured by a general security agreement on the assets of the Company in favour of AIP.
On closing, the Company paid to AIP (i) a facility fee of $200,000; (ii) a closing fee of $250,000; and (iii) a due diligence fee of $75,000. The Company also issued to AIP a bonus of 643,518 common shares of the Company (the "Bonus Shares") at a deemed issue price of $1.08 per share, representing 20% of the net amount of the Additional Disbursement.
The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Additional Disbursement for working capital purposes and to pursue future investments.
The amended loan and the issuance of the Bonus Shares constitute related-party transactions under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") as AIP currently holders more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company. In respect of the amended loan and the issuance of the Bonus Shares, the Company relies on the exemption from the formal valuation requirement contained in Section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 as none of the Company's shares trade on the enumerated exchanges. In respect of the amended loan, the Company relies on the exemption from minority shareholder approval contained in Section 5.7(1)(f) of MI 61-101 as the amended loan is on reasonable terms that are no less advantageous to the Company than if it were to be obtained from an arm's length party, and the amended loan is not convertible into or repayable by the issuance of equity of voting securities of the Company. In respect of the issuance of the Bonus Shares, the Company relies on the exemption from minority shareholder approval contained in Section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in that the fair market value of the Bonus Shares does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization as determined under MI 61-101.
The Company did not file a material change report 21 days before closing as all definitive documentation in respect of the transaction was not finalized until shortly prior to the closing, and the Corporation wished to close on an expedited basis for business reasons.
Early Warning Disclosure
In connection with the issuance of the Bonus Shares, AIP acquired ownership, control or direction over common shares of the Company requiring disclosure pursuant to the early warning requirements of applicable securities regulation.
Immediately prior to the issuance of the Bonus Shares, AIP held 2,989,873 common shares of the Company, representing approximately 27.93% of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares. Following the issuance of the Bonus Shares, AIP now holds 3,633,391 common shares of the Company, representing approximately 32.01% of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares.
The Company understands that AIP holds the Bonus Shares for investment purposes. In the future, AIP, may acquire and/or dispose of common shares through the market, privately or otherwise, as circumstances or market conditions may warrant.
This portion of this news release is issued pursuant to National Instrument 62-103 - The Early Warning System and Related and Take-Over Bid and Insider Reporting Issues of the Canadian Securities Administrators, which also requires an early warning report to be filed with the applicable securities regulators containing additional information with respect to the foregoing matters. A copy of the early warning report will be filed by AIP in accordance with applicable securities laws and will be available on the Company's issuer profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

France chooses companies to supply free medical cannabis for trial program
Published 4 hours ago | By Alfredo Pascual
https://mjbizdaily.com/france-chooses-companies-to-supply-free-medical-cannabis-for-trial-program/
The French Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products (ANSM) selected the companies that will supply France’s medical cannabis pilot program that’s intended to provide free products to patients enrolled in the trial.
Cannabis companies from Australia, Canada, Israel and the United Kingdom – in partnership with French pharmaceutical distributors – will provide the products for up to 3,000 patients and will not receive any money for supplying the medical cannabis.
French authorities selected main suppliers, as well as substitute suppliers to cover any shortfalls.
The list of suppliers includes:
Australia-based Althea (one lot as a substitute) and Little Green Pharma (two lots as a main supplier and one lot as a substitute).
Canada-based Aurora Cannabis (three lots as a main supplier) and Tilray (two lots as a main supplier and two lots as a substitute).
Israel-based Panaxia (two lots as a main supplier and two lots as a substitute).
U.K.-based Emmac Life Sciences (two lots as a substitute).
Applicants were judged on products, manufacturing and supply criteria.
Neither the government nor patients will have to pay for the medical marijuana, which will be supplied by the participating companies at their own cost.
The participating companies have no guarantee they will remain suppliers in the event France broadens access to medical cannabis after the experiment.
However, “with hundreds of patients already treated (at the end of the experiment) and doctors used to prescribing their products, this is probably a marketing advantage,” Nicolas Authier, a university professor and chair of the ANSM scientific committee on medical cannabis, said last October.
Cannabis products will be used only as a last resort and must meet pharmaceutical-quality standards.
Only patients with certain qualifying conditions will be permitted to participate in the trial.
“Distance learning for health professionals should start at the end of February and the first prescriptions before March 31,” Authier told MJBizDaily.
Here’s the complete list of suppliers and their partners for distribution:
THC dominant
Lot 1.1: Flower with more than 8% THC and less than 1% CBD.
Main supplier: Aurora in partnership with Ethypharm.
Substitute: Tilray in partnership with Medipha Sante.
Lot 1.2: Sublingual oil with more than 5 milligrams of THC per milliliter and less than 1 milligram of CBD per milliliter.
Main supplier: Tilray in partnership with Medipha Sante.
Substitute: Panaxia in partnership Neuraxpharm France.
Lot 1.3: Oral oils with more than 5 milligrams of THC per milliliter and less than 1 milligram of CBD per milliliter.
Main supplier: Panaxia in partnership with Neuraxpharm France.
Substitute: Emmac Life Sciences in partnership with Boiron.
THC and CBD balanced:
Lot 2.1: Flower with more than 5% THC and 5% CBD.
Main supplier: Aurora in partnership with Ethypharm.
Substitute: Tilray in partnership with Medipha Sante.
Lot 2.2: Sublingual oil with more than 5 milligrams of THC and 5 milligrams of CBD per milliliter.
Main supplier: Tilray in partnership with Medipha Sante.
Substitute: Little Green Pharma in partnership with Intsel Chimos.
Lot 2.3: Oral oils with more than 5 milligrams of THC and 5 milligrams of CBD per milliliter.
Main supplier: Panaxia in partnership with Neuraxpharm.
Substitute: Emmac Life Sciences in partnership with Boiron.
CBD dominant:
Lot 3.2: Sublingual oil with less than 1 milligram of THC per milliliter and more than 5 milligrams of CBD per milliliter.
Main supplier: Little Green Pharma in partnership with Intsel Chimos.
Substitute: Althea in partnership Laboratoires Bouchara Recordati.
Lot 3.4: Flower with less than 5% THC and more than 5% CBD.
Main supplier: Aurora in partnership with Ethypharm.
No substitute.
Lot 3.5: Sublingual oil with less than 5 milligram of THC per milliliter and more than 5 milligram of CBD per milliliter.
Main supplier: Little Green Pharma in partnership Intsel Chimos.
Substitute: Panaxia in partnership with Neuraxpharm France.
The CBD-dominant category originally had six lots in the application process, but suppliers were selected only for the three lots mentioned above.

LGC Capital Ltd. (TSXV:LG) is set to acquire a 35% equity stake in Freia Farmaceutici Srl, a hemp-focused Italian Pharmaceutical company
ITALY UPDATE
Freia Farmaceutici’s competitive advantage provides further upside in Europe. On May 16, 2019, LGC Capital entered into an investment agreement to acquire a 35% equity interest in Freia Farmaceutici Srl, a hemp-focused Italian Pharmaceutical company for $4.8M. This payment would be made in three installments over the course of 10 months.
Freia is one of the few hemp-based pharmaceutical companies with products approved by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Freia has a first-mover advantage, as it is the only company in Italy and one of the few in Europe to have developed and marketed hemp-based pharmaceutical products authorized by EFSA. For reference, EFSA is of similar caliber to the FDA, but focused in Europe. EFSA is funded by the EU and operates independently of European legislation.
Freia Farmaceutici has a recent history of strong financial performance. In 2017, Freia achieved sales of $740K and EBITDA of $265K, representing a 36% EBITDA margin. In 2018, with the additional approval of new drugs in Freia’s portfolio, sales levels increased by 74% to $1.3M and EBITDA grew to $280K. In 2019E, Freia is expected to focus on expanding its business nationally and internationally through increased sales of its existing drug pipeline, and the roll out of an additional eight authorized drugs into the market.
Freia Farmaceutici currently owns 2 patents, has filed 5 patent applications, and is in the process of completing 6 additional applications. Freia has 6 registered pharmaceutical drug products for patients on chemotherapy treatment, atopic dermatitis, and from dysmetabolism. Freia already has 6 products authorized in the nutrition and topical fields. Another 8 products that have been authorized in the gynecological field are expected to be launched in 2019E. Lastly, 9 more products are awaiting authorization. Of note, Freia has a variety of other research and development projects ongoing in the areas of gastroenterology, nutrition, and multiple sclerosis.

Valuation
Trades at a discount to peers. We believe this acquisition could provide significant synergies for LGC within Europe. Recall, LGC has a 47% interest in EasyJoint, one of Italy’s largest, vertically-integrated legal cannabis producer and a leader in the sale of 40 branded products ranging from high CBD flower to edibles. This would be an ideal distributor of Freia’s products. In terms of estimates, we plan to update once the investment in Freia closes. LGC currently trades at 4.1x our F2020E EBITDA estimate, a discount to cannabis holdings companies and gold and oil royalty companies, which trade at an average of 10.1x and 8.9x, respectively. We believe this gap should close as LGC begins to make material cash flow.

LGC Capital announces that it has increased its ownership to 40.4% of Little Green Pharma in Australia
https://howardgroupinc.com/2019/05/lgc-capital-announces-that-it-has-increased-its-ownership-to-40-4-of-little-green-pharma-in-australia/
MONTRÉAL, May 22, 2019 – LGC Capital Ltd. (TSXV: LG) (OTCQB: LGGCF) (“LGC” or the “Corporation”) announces that after much negotiation, it has successfully acquired, from a non-executive founder, additional shares in Australia’s licensed medical cannabis producer Little Green Pharma (LGP) bringing its ownership from 14.1% up to 40.4%.
LGP was the first, and is currently the only, domestic cannabis company in Australia producing a locally grown medicinal cannabis medicine for patients. LGC believes the opportunity to increase its ownership in LGP creates significant value for its shareholders and enables the Corporation to further take part in the rapidly expanding Australian medical cannabis market.
Little Green Pharma has had over 400 patients approved in Australia, with new patients increasing exponentially month-over-month. The Australian industry represents one of the fastest growing international medical cannabis markets globally, with approximately 6,400 SAS B forms approved to the end of April 2019 of which 1,110 occurred in April alone. Prohibition Partners estimates that the Australian medical cannabis market could be worth US$2 billion by 2028 and US$8.7 billion if adult use was to become legal.
Little Green Pharma produces its products in compliance with Australia’s strict Therapeutic Goods Order 93 Standard for Medicinal Cannabis and is one of only a handful of companies with an EU GMP recognised medical cannabis facility.
Expansion plans for LGP‘s cultivation facility have been submitted to Australia’s Office of Drug Control to increase production capacity in order to supply the Company’s growing demand for its products in Australia as well as to export product via its new distribution agreements in Germany, the United Kingdom, Canada and New Zealand.
Mazen Haddad, CEO of LGC Capital, stated; “Little Green Pharma was one of our first investments and as its business and opportunities expanded, and the opportunity to increase our shareholding to over 40% is a significant move for the Company. To be the first in Australia to grow and produce a full line of Medical THC Cannabis products, in accordance with both Australian and European standards, represents a great opportunity for LGC and its global initiatives. We look forward to expanding Little Green Pharma‘s production capacity and help growing its reach throughout the globe.”
Terms of the transaction:
Subject to TSXV approval, LGC Capital will pay to the vendor of the shares, AUS$5.5M. Closing of this transaction is expected to be within 95 days of signing the agreement.
Statutory information: For the financial year end 30 June 2018, Little Green Pharma generated Revenue of AUS$8,337 and had a net loss for the period of AUS$3,757,810. This was first year that the company was operational as a legal cannabis business.
