VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 11, 2021 /CNW/ – Entheos Capital Corp. (the “Company”), announces that it has entered into a binding letter agreement dated February 7, 2021 with The BC Bud Co. (“BCBC”) whereby the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of BCBC by way of a share exchange.

Upon the successful completion the proposed acquisition of the securities of BCBC (the “Transaction”), it is anticipated that the Company will carry on the business of BCBC (the “Resulting Issuer”) and will seek to delist its common shares from the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) and list its common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) such that on the date of closing, the common shares of the Resulting Issuer would be listed on the CSE as a life science issuer in the cannabis industry. The Transaction constitutes a ‘reverse takeover’ of the Company.

Related Party Transaction

As two directors of the Company, being CEO Brayden Sutton and Director Josh Taylor are each the holders of 40% of the issued and outstanding shares of BCBC, the Transaction constitutes a ‘related party transaction’ as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). As a result, the completion of the Transaction will be subject to the valuation and majority of the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101.

Brayden Sutton is a Director, President and CEO of the Company and currently holds, directly or indirectly 1,713,333 ENTH Shares, representing approximately 12.55% of the issued and outstanding ENTH Shares. Josh Taylor is a Director of the Company and currently holds, directly or indirectly, 127,309 ENTH Shares, representing less than 1% of the issued and outstanding ENTH Shares.

Following completion of the Transaction, but prior to completion of any concurrent financing, Mr. Sutton will hold 12,213,333 ENTH Shares representing approximately 32.86% of the issued and outstanding ENTH Shares, prior to the exercise of any options or warrants held by him, and Josh Taylor will hold 10,627,309 ENTH Shares, representing approximately 28.56% of the issued and outstanding ENTH Shares, prior to the exercise of any warrants held by him.

The Transaction will be reviewed and considered by the Company’s independent director. Malahat Valuation Group has prepared an initial valuation report dated December 21, 2020 in respect of BCBC which concludes that the fair market value of BCBC is in the range of $7.9–$8.7 million.

Transaction Summary

Pursuant to the Transaction, the Company will issue common shares in its capital (“ENTH Shares”) to the holders of common shares in the capital of BCBC (“BCBC Shares”) on the basis of approximately 2.1 ENTH Shares for each BCBC Share. It is anticipated that approximately 26,250,000 ENTH Shares will be issued pursuant to the Transaction based on the current capital structure of BCBC. The Company currently has 13,651,815 ENTH Shares issued and outstanding.

No advances to be made by the Company to BCBC are contemplated by the letter agreement and no finder’s fees are payable in connection with the Transaction.

The Transaction is subject to a number of terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, the parties entering into a definitive agreement with respect to the Transaction on or before March 15, 2021  (such agreement to include representations, warranties, conditions and covenants typical for a transaction of this nature), the completion of a private placement by ENTH to raise gross proceeds of at least $1,000,000 as further described below, the approval of a majority of the minority shareholders in the Company, and the approval of the CSE and other applicable regulatory authorities. Additionally, the delisting of the ENTH Shares in advance of the listing on the CSE will also require the approval of a majority of the minority shareholders in the Company.

All dollar figures referenced herein, unless otherwise specified, refer to Canadian dollars.

Trading Halt

Trading in the ENTH Shares has been halted and is expected to remain halted pending the satisfaction of the listing requirements of the CSE.  There can be no assurance that trading of ENTH shares will resume prior to the completion of the Transaction and it is not anticipated that trading will resume on the TSXV prior to delisting.
