TORONTO, Aug. 11, 2016 /CNW/ - GreenSpace Brands Inc. ("GreenSpace" or the "Company") (TSXV: JTR) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Beacon Securities Limited ("Beacon"), on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters (the "Underwriters"), to purchase, on a bought deal basis, 3,540,000 common shares (the "Offered Shares") in the capital of the Company at a price of $1.13 per Offered Share (the "Issue Price") for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $4,000,200 (the "Offering").

In addition, the Company has granted to the Underwriters an over-allotment option (the "Over-Allotment Option") exercisable, in whole or in part, in the sole discretion of the Underwriters to purchase, in respect of the Offered Shares, up to an additional number of Offered Shares equal to 15% of the Offered Shares sold pursuant to the Offering, at the Issue Price, at any time up to 30 days from the closing of the Offering.

The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about September 2, 2016 and is subject to the completion of formal documentation and receipt of regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The net proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Offered Shares will be used for debt repayment, working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Offered Shares to be issued under the Offering will be offered by way of a short form prospectus to be filed in each of the provinces of Canada (other than Quebec) and may be offered in the United States to Qualified Institutional Buyers pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements under rule 144A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), in a manner that does not require the Offered Shares to be registered in the United States. The Offered Shares may be also sold in such other jurisdictions as the Company and Beacon may agree. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States, nor in any other jurisdiction.
