Emblem Corp. (TSXV:EMC) (EMC.WT) (“Emblem” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that it has purchased C$2.5 million of units (“Units”) of Fire & Flower Inc. (“Fire & Flower”) at a price of C$0.80 per Unit (the “Subscription”) as part of a larger Unit offering conducted by Fire & Flower. Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of Fire & Flower (each, a “Fire & Flower Share”) and one common share purchase warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one (1) additional Fire & Flower Share at a price of C$1.05 per share for a period of two (2) years, subject to adjustments in certain events.
Nick Dean, CEO of Emblem, says “Our partnership with Fire & Flower reinforces our belief that access to the end consumer is critical for driving long-term shareholder value. In a highly regulated environment, retail will be the front-line for customer education, driving product awareness, building brand affinity, and ultimately delivering the greatest margins. Fire & Flower is building a world-class retail concept under the leadership of a proven executive team and board of directors. We are confident that our investment in Fire & Flower will deliver a significant return on investment back to Emblem shareholders, while also supporting the growth of Emblem’s adult-use brands and products.”
Certain directors and officers of Emblem have interests in Fire & Flower. In particular, Harvey Shapiro, a director and the Chairman of the Company, is also a director of Fire & Flower. In addition, prior to giving effect to the offering, Mr. Shapiro owned approximately 19.5% of the Fire & Flower Shares outstanding and controls and directs approximately an additional 65% of the Fire & Flower Shares through a voting trust. Further, prior to giving effect to the offering, Maxim Zavet, a director of the Company, owned approximately 4.2% of the Fire & Flower Shares outstanding and Nick Dean, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company owned approximately 0.3% of the Fire & Flower Shares outstanding.
There will be less than twenty-one (21) days between the date on which the Company files a material change report with respect to the Subscription and the closing of the Subscription. The Company considers this reasonable and necessary as the Company’s participation in the offering was subject to certain conditions which were only met in advance of the closing of the offering of Fire & Flower Shares.
