Lumiera Health changes their debt structure to allocate more cash for accelerated growth

MONTREAL, Feb. 25, 2022 /CNW Telbec/ - Lumiera Health Inc.  (TSXV: NHP) (the "Company" or "Lumiera "), a company specializing in the development and commercialization of natural health products, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an amending agreement with its third party lender in respect of the outstanding Note, the principal amount of which currently stands at $1,325,000.

As part of the amendment agreed with the lender, the Company is reimbursing $325,000 in capital in order to reduce its principal amount to $1,000,000 and extend the loan's maturity date to December 1st, 2022. In addition, the Company and the lender agreed to extend certain of the covenants to provide the Company with flexibility in executing its accelerated growth plan.

Improved debt structure

As a part of its accelerate growth plan, Lumiera is continuing to identify savings and allocate those saving to inventory to support growth.  With that focus, the Company entered into an agreement with a new lender, for an amount of $400,000. This amount will be used to paydown the current third party note and free-up cash flow in the short term; new loan has a two-year term and pays monthly interest at 12% plus 3% payable at maturity.

The Lender will receive 8,000,000 non-transferable warrants. Each warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one common share, at an exercise price of $0.05 per share, for a period of two years ending February 25, 2024. The Warrants will, unless exercised, expire on the 30th day after the Company pays back the note.

The new loan is subject to certain standard conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.
