LOS ANGELES AND IRVINE – September 10, 2020 – ManifestSeven (“M7” or the “Company”), California’s first integrated omnichannel platform for legal cannabis, today announced it closed on an aggregate of $10.2 million in gross proceeds raised via three private placements of equity and convertible debt in 2020.
“Today’s announcement is a resounding affirmation of M7’s business model and corporate resilience in the face of economic headwinds, making us one of the few cannabis companies to raise capital in this environment successfully,” said Sturges Karban, Chief Executive Officer of ManifestSeven. “We are truly encouraged by this level of financial backing from the investment community, which solidifies M7’s position as one of the leading operators in the legal cannabis market. This injection of capital allows M7 to continue expanding our seamless, compliant omnichannel across California, and eventually evaluate other markets in North America as opportunities arise.”
The Company expects to close its previously announced reverse takeover transaction of P&P Ventures Inc. (to be renamed ManifestSeven Holdings Corporation, the “Resulting Issuer”) in the coming days (the “RTO”). In conjunction with the RTO, each holder of Class A Common Shares of M7 will receive three Class A Subordinate Voting Shares of the Resulting Issuer (the “Shares”). The Company anticipates that the Shares will commence trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) in the coming days, under the ticker symbol “MSVN”.
Earlier this year, the M7 completed a unitized private placement offering (the “2020 Private Placement”) at a purchase price of $4.50 per unit, with each unit consisting of one M7 shares and one half warrant exercisable to acquire M7 shares at an exercise price of $6.75 per Share. Pursuant to the 2020 Private Placement, M7 has issued units for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.3 million.
M7 completed a private placement offering (the “15% Convertible Note Private Placement”) in August of an aggregate principal amount of approximately $2.5 million in subordinated secured convertible promissory notes (the “15% Convertible Notes”), which carry non-compounding interest at a rate of 15% per annum over an 18-month term, with the outstanding balance of principal and accrued interest convertible into Shares. The holders of the 15% Convertible Notes were also issued non-transferable warrants exercisable to acquire the number of Shares that such holder is entitled to upon the conversion of the 15% Convertible Notes at an exercise price equal to the conversion price until the date that is three years from the date of the CSE listing. As a result of the completion of the RTO, the 15% Convertible Notes constitute an obligation of the Resulting Issuer.
M7 completed a private placement offering (the “17.5% Convertible Note Private Placement”) in September of an aggregate principal amount of approximately $5.4 million in subordinated secured convertible promissory notes (the “17.5% Convertible Notes”), which carry non-compounding interest at a rate of 17.5% per annum over an 18-month term, with the outstanding balance of principal and accrued interest convertible at a conversion price (the “17.5% Note Conversion Price”) of $1.17 per Share (subject to certain adjustments). The holders of the 17.5% Convertible Notes were also issued warrants exercisable to acquire the number of Shares that such holder is entitled to upon the conversion of the 17.5% Convertible Notes at an exercise price equal to the 17.5% Note Conversion Price until the date that is three years from the date of the CSE listing. As a result of the completion of the RTO, the 17.5% Convertible Notes constitute an obligation of the Resulting Issuer.
For further information in respect of the RTO, the 2020 Private Placement, the 15% Convertible Note Private Placement, and the 17.5% Convertible Note Private Placement, please see the listing statement of the Company anticipated to be filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR as well as on the CSE website.
