TORONTO, Sept. 22, 2020 /CNW/ - GreenSpace Brands Inc. ("GreenSpace" or the "Company") (TSXV: JTR) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a new credit facility with Pivot Financial Inc. ("Pivot") to replace its previous ABL facility. The structure and conditions of the new debt facility (the "New Facility") include a $3.5 million term loan and a $4.0 million full recourse accounts receivable factoring.

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has re-negotiated the terms of its loans with Primary Capital Inc. ("Primary") and with MW1 LLC ("MW1"). The details of the amendments are as follows:

Under the previous terms of the Promissory Note with Primary (the "Primary Note"), during June 2020, the Company was to have made a 10% repayment of the Primary Note and was to have repaid the Primary Note in full by December 2020. The Company failed to make the 10% repayment and its failure to do so, put the Company in default of that loan. The Primary Amending Agreement provides that the terms of the Primary Note shall be amended to extend the maturity date to September 23, 2021 and requiring a 10% prepayment of the outstanding amount by January 4, 2021. The Primary Amending Agreement further provides that the consideration for these extensions shall be as follows: (i) the Company shall pay to Primary an extension fee in the amount of $56,572 (which shall be added to the total indebtedness of the Primary Note); (ii) the Company shall pay an additional extension fee in the amount of $18,857 (which shall be added to the total indebtedness of the Primary Note) in the event that the Company fails to make a 10% prepayment of the outstanding amount of the Primary Note by January 4, 2021; and (iii) at Primary's option, the Company shall pay to Primary an additional extension fee in the amount of $37,715 (which shall be added to the total indebtedness of the Primary Note) to be paid only in the event that the Company fails to repay the remaining principal and interest remaining on the Primary Note, in full, by September 23, 2021. In the event that this final extension fee is paid, the maturity date of the Primary Note shall be extended for an additional year on the same terms and conditions.

Under the original terms of the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Galaxy Nutritional Foods, Inc. from MW1 ("Acquisition"), the Company was to pay MW1 a total consideration ("Consideration") of US$17.8 million, comprised of US$4.5 million in cash, US$7.62 million in common shares in capital of the Company ("Common Shares"), and a two-year vendor take back loan of US$5.72 million, carrying 8.5% interest ("VTB Note").  This VTB Note was subsequently amended and extended.

Under the most recent terms of the VTB Note, during June 2020, the Company was to have made a 10% repayment of the VTB Note and was to have repaid the VTB Note in full by December 2020. The Company failed to make the 10% repayment and its failure to do so, put the Company in default of that loan. The Company has now entered into an agreement ("VTB Amending Agreement") to amend the terms of the Consideration for the Acquisition.

The VTB Amending Agreement provides that the terms of the VTB Note shall be amended to extend the maturity date to September 23, 2021 and requiring a 10% prepayment of the outstanding amount by January 4, 2021. The VTB Note further provides that the Consideration shall be increased as follows, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange: (i) the Company shall issue to MW1 8,333,334 Common Shares at C$0.06 per Common Share; (ii) the Company shall issue to MW1 2,777,784 Common Shares at C$0.06 per Common Share, such Common Shares to be issued only in the event that the Company fails to make a 10% prepayment of the outstanding amount by January 4, 2021; and (iii) at MW1's option, the Company shall issue to MW1 5,555,550 Common Shares at C$0.06 per Common Share, such Common Shares to be issued only in the event that the Company fails to repay the remaining principal and interest remaining on the VTB Note, in full, by the amended maturity date.  In the event that these final shares are issued, the maturity date of the VTB Note shall be extended for an additional year on the same terms and conditions.

With the completion of this new facility with Pivot and the amendments to the Primary Note and the VTB Note, the Company is once again in full compliance with its debt facilities.
