Creso Pharma Limited(ASX:CPH, FRA:1X8) (‘Creso Pharma’) is pleased to advise that it has secured firm commitments from institutional, professional and sophisticated investors to raise up to A$18million (before costs) through the issue of approximately 94.7 million new fully paid ordinary shares (“shares”) at an issue price of $0.19 per share(“Placement”).

The Placement was heavily oversubscribed and strongly supported by a range of local and international groups including leading Australian businessman John Langley Hancock, S3 Consortium Holdings Pty Ltd (“Stocks Digital”) and independent global fund manager L1 Global Master Opportunities Fund, amongst others.

The issue price represents a 17.4% discount to the last traded price of $0.23 on 23 March 2021 and a 8.8% discount to the 15-day volume weighted average price (VWAP). The Placement will be undertaken in a single tranche within the company’s existing placement capacity under ASX listing Rule 7.1Aper the Appendix 3B lodged with ASX today.

The Company also intends to seek shareholder approval to issue placement participants one option for every four shares issued. The options will be exercisable at $0.38 each on or before a date that is 12 months after the date of issue.

EverBlu Capital acted as lead manager to the Placement. EverBlu will earn a 6% fee plus one million broker shares per $5 million raised (or part thereof) (subject to shareholder approval). Following the successful completion of the capital raising, the Company has extended the term of its engagement with Everblu Corporate Pty Ltd by 24 months, with all other terms and conditions to remain unchanged.

Creso Pharma is now well funded to progress a number of value accretive opportunities including PhaseII and Phase III clinical trial initiatives with target acquisition company Halucenex Life Sciences Inc. (“Halucenex”), subject to shareholder approval of the proposed acquisition. Clinical trials will explore the efficacy of psychedelic molecules on a range of mental health conditions such as depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and open up another lucrative vertical.

Funds will also be deployed to expand the Company’s current nutraceutical offerings, scale up operations at its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary Mernova Medicinal Inc. (“Mernova”), in line with recent increasing demand for Mernova’s products, and progress a dual listing on the OTCQB (“OTC”). The OTC market is expected to provide greater access to the North American investment community. Further, with a strong cash balance, Creso is well positioned to attract new partners and explore complementary acquisition opportunities that may arise, ahead of the pending federal legalisation of recreational cannabis in the US.

Commentary:

Non-executive Chairman Adam Blumenthal said: “We are extremely pleased to have generated such strong interest and support for the Placement and I would like to welcome a number of new investors to the register. The Board and management would also like to thank new and existing shareholders for their commitment to Creso Pharma.

“The Placement was very well bid and leaves Creso Pharma well funded to progress a number of near term revenue generating initiatives. Key short-term focus will include finalising the acquisition of Halucenex and undertaking clinical trials. Importantly, the acquisition provides the Company with access to another lucrative vertical and potential revenue stream. We will also be ramping up our nutraceutical division and preparing for the anticipated legalisation of cannabis in the US through our Canadian operations.

“Board and management look forward to providing shareholders with regular updates on progress over the coming months.”
