Molecule Holdings Inc. Announces Closing of $600,000 Secured Convertible Debenture Unit Offering
May 31, 2022 – TheNewswire - Molecule Holdings Inc. (CSE:MLCL) (“Molecule” or the “Company”), a Canadian craft-focused cannabis beverage production company, is pleased to announce that it has completed a non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”) of 600 senior secured convertible debenture units (each, a “Unit") to an arm’s length party for gross proceeds of $600,000. Each Unit is comprised of $1,000 principal amount of senior secured convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) and 6,000 common share purchase warrant (“Warrants”), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one common share (each, a “Common Share”) in the capital of the Company for a period of 36 months from the date of closing at an exercise price of $0.15 per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment pursuant to certain anti-dilution provisions.
The Debentures will bear interest at a rate of 8.00% per annum, which interest is payable in quarterly installments beginning June 30, 2022, and will mature on September 18, 2024 (the "Maturity Date"). The holder of the Debenture is entitled to convert the indebtedness under the Debenture at any time prior to the Maturity Date into Common Shares at a conversion price of $0.10, subject to adjustment pursuant to certain anti-dilution provision. Commencing four months and a day from the date of issuance of the Debenture, Company shall have the right to prepay or redeem the indebtedness under the Debenture, in whole or in part, at any time by providing a minimum of 30 days’ and a maximum of 60 days’ notice. The obligations under the Debentures are secured against the assets of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Molecule Inc. which has also acted as guarantor under the Debenture.
Subject to the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) and approval, if required, the Debentures and the Warrants provide for typical change of control as well as anti-dilution adjustments. The net proceeds of the Offering are expected to be used to repay $250,000 of the Company’s existing secured convertible debentures that were issued in March 2021, with the balance expected to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Commented David Reingold, CEO of Molecule, “We are excited to have completed this round of financing and look forward to working with our new partners in continuing to build the Molecule story. The beverage category is enjoying so much growth as consumers continue to indulge and experiment with cannabis infused beverages.
