CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / January 25, 2019 / International Cannabrands Inc. (CSE:JUJU) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed the fourth tranche of its previously announced brokered private placement (the “Offering”) pursuant to an engagement letter with Gravitas Securities Inc. and Canaccord Genuity Corp. (collectively, the “Agents”).

The Company sold an additional 31,280,000 units (each, a “Unit”) at a price of $0.10 per share. Each Unit consisted of one (1) common share (a “Common Share”) and one (1) common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”) for gross proceeds of $3,128,000. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional Common Share at a price of $0.15 per share for a period of 36 months.

CEO Steve Gormley commented: “We are elated to have successfully completed this financing given the current market conditions. We have completed the acquisition of 51% of La Vida Verde, a highly respected branded cannabis product manufacturer and distributer based in Santa Cruz, California. The proceeds of the financing will enable International Cannabrands to continue to execute its mission in acquiring middle market cannabis brands with profitable operations.”

The Agents were paid a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and will also receive warrants to purchase such number of common shares as is equal to 7% of the Units sold under the Offering (the “Broker Warrants”). The Broker Warrants will be exercisable for a period of 36 months following closing of the Offering at an exercise price of $0.10 per share.

All of the securities issued under the private placement are subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from the date hereof.
