Shares of Trichome Financial to begin trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange today, December 16, 2019

TORONTO, Dec. 16, 2019 /CNW/ – Trichome Financial Corp. (“Trichome Financial” or the “Company“) (CSE: TFC) today announced that the Company has signed a non-binding term sheet to provide up to $11.5 million in senior secured debt financing to Ontario Cannabis Holdings Corp. (“OCH“) or affiliates thereof.

Trichome Financial has built considerable expertise in the retail sector, with successful loans made to both C.G.S Foods Inc. (d/b/a Ganjika House), a lottery winner from the first round of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (“AGCO”) licensing process in March 2019, and 180 Smoke prior to its sale to Origin House (CSE: OH), as well as reviewing numerous retail opportunities across Canada.  Through this strategic relationship with OCH, the Company plans to provide growth capital for the buildout and initial inventory purchases of new corporately owned OCH stores (operating under the OCH flagship retail brand “Corner Cannabis”) pending OCH’s receipt of applicable regulatory licensing, which may occur as early as March 2020.

OCH was founded by a highly experienced team with a proven track record in the retail cannabis industry.  Prior to entering the Ontario market, OCH’s management team founded and built one of Canada’s largest retail cannabis chains, NewLeaf Cannabis, to 25 locations before selling to Meta Growth (f/k/a National Access Cannabis) for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $37.5 million.

“We view the recent move by the Ontario government towards an open market for private cannabis retail as a significant opportunity for Trichome Financial and we are excited to bring our capital, knowledge and relationships to partner with proven and sophisticated retail operators such as OCH,” said Michael Ruscetta, CEO of Trichome Financial. “OCH has a collection of strategically located store-front locations across Ontario, providing it with a significant opportunity to scale its growth in the near term with the opening of the Ontario market.”

“With the Ontario market opening, we are excited to begin the bricks and mortar build-out and to execute on a growth strategy to see OCH become a leading national retailer for the second time around,” said Jon Conquergood, CEO of OCH.  “We learned invaluable lessons through the highly successful build-out and operations of NewLeaf Cannabis: most importantly, that through authenticity and relentless attention to our customers in a welcoming community-based format, we will achieve long-term consumer loyalty and sustainability in this competitive industry.”
