SugarBud Announces Intent to List Common Share Purchase Warrants for Trading on the TSX Venture Exchange

TSX-Venture Exchange: RRL

CALGARY, Alberta, Sept. 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SugarBud Craft Growers Corp. (“SugarBud” or the “Company”) (trading as Relentless Resources Ltd.) is pleased to announce that it intends to apply to the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) to list, as a supplemental listing on the TSXV, a total of 143,858,237 common share purchase warrants (“Warrants”) of the Company consisting of 88,727,560 Warrants issued pursuant to a private placement offering of the Company completed on March 21, 2018 and an additional 55,130,677 Warrants to be issued pursuant to the previously announced fully subscribed rights offering (“Rights Offering”) for proceeds of $7.4 million (the “Proceeds”).

The Warrants will be governed by a warrant indenture to be entered into between the Company and Computershare Trust Company of Canada. The Company is currently drafting the warrant indenture and plans to list the Warrants as soon as possible. 

Listing of the Warrants is anticipated to provide liquidity to SugarBud’s current Warrant holders, attract a larger scope of potential investors to SugarBud, and defer dilution into the future. Due to SugarBud’s current working capital and its access to non-dilutive forms of financing, proceeds from the exercise of Warrants is not needed at this time.     

Including the Proceeds, SugarBud will have approximately $10 million of working capital. This capital will be deployed on Phase 1 of SugarBud’s cannabis cultivation facility at Stavely, Alberta, and is sufficient to achieve all requisite Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (“ACMPR”) licenses. 

Upon receipt of its ACMPR licenses, SugarBud intends to access non-dilutive forms of capital to complete the Stavely project. As previously announced, SugarBud has entered into a commitment letter in respect of a $17.65 million credit facility with Farm Credit Canada, and is currently in negotiations with third parties regarding a revolving working capital credit facility in the amount of $2 million and equipment financing of $7 million.

The Warrants listing remains subject to TSXV approval. The Company will provide further details as they become available.
