  • Amended and restated loan increased to $7.5 million from $3.5 million as James E. Wagner continues to deliver on operational milestones

  • Receivables Financing Facility represents new product for Trichome Financial borrowers

TORONTO, Nov. 7, 2019 /CNW/ – Trichome Financial Corp. (the “Company” or “Trichome Financial“) (TSXV: TFC) is pleased to announce that on November 6, 2019 it closed a follow-on loan to James E. Wagner Cultivation Corporation (“JWC“) (TSXV:JWCA) of up to an incremental $4.0 million, by way of an amendment and restatement of the Company’s existing loan agreement with JWC, for a total aggregate loan of up to $7.5 million (the “Amended Loan“). Trichome Financial previously advanced $3.5 million to JWC on February 19, 2019.  JWC is a licensed producer under the Cannabis Act that produces premium cannabis products using proprietary aeroponic cultivation practices.

Pursuant to yesterday’s closing, Trichome Financial provided JWC with an initial advance of $2.85 million under the Amended Loan (the “First Advance“), with the balance of $1.15 million to be advanced conditionally upon the achievement by JWC of certain milestones (the “Second Advance“). The proceeds will be used by JWC to fund its remaining capital expenditures and for working capital purposes as JWC begins to materially scale revenues out of its flagship facility at 540 Manitou Drive in Kitchener, Ontario (“JWC2″).

The Amended Loan is secured by a perfected first lien on all of JWC’s current and future tangible and intangible assets (including a share pledge from all subsidiaries of JWC) and bears interest at a rate of 9.25% per annum. Upon closing of the First Advance, Trichome Financial received a total of 984,208 common shares (the “Bonus Shares“) of JWC and 1,696,385 common share purchase warrants (the “Bonus Warrants“), with each warrant having a term of two years and a strike price of $0.42.  Upon closing of the Second Advance, JWC will issue to Trichome Financial additional Bonus Shares equal to 14.87% of the Second Advance, divided by the closing price per common share of JWC on the last trading day preceding the date of the Second Advance.  JWC will also issue additional Bonus Warrants equal to 25.63% of the Second Advance, divided by the closing price per common share of JWC on the last trading day preceding the date of the Second Advance, with each warrant having a term of two years from the date of the First Advance and a strike price equal to 105% of the closing price per common share of JWC on the last day preceding the date of the Second Advance.  The initial $3.5 million of the Amended Loan will mature on February 19, 2021 and the remaining $4.0 million will mature on November 6, 2021.

In addition to the Amended Agreement, Trichome Financial and JWC entered into a Receivables Financing Facility (the “Facility“), whereby JWC may elect to finance certain qualified receivables.  Total availability under the Facility is initially capped at $5.0 million and the financing of any receivables under the agreement will be subject to Trichome Financial’s sole discretion.

“Having closely monitored JWC’s performance and success at hitting milestones since our original loan closed in February, we are pleased to increase our commitment to JWC. Given its superior production capabilities, proven product quality and position as a premium cannabis brand, we feel JWC is well-positioned amongst its peers in the Canadian market,” said Michael Ruscetta, Trichome Financial’s Chief Executive Officer. “As capital remains very limited in the cannabis sector, our deal flow has increased significantly, resulting in a more robust pipeline of attractive lending opportunities for our shareholders.”
