TORONTO, Jan. 18, 2018 /CNW/ - Nuuvera Inc. (TSXV: NUU) (the "Company") is pleased to announce today that, due to strong demand, it has agreed with Clarus Securities Inc. ("Clarus") and Canaccord Genuity Corp. ("Canaccord", and collectively with Clarus the "Co-Lead Underwriters") on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters (collectively, the "Underwriters"), to increase the size of its previously announced C$35,000,020 "bought deal" offering. Pursuant to the upsized deal terms, the Underwriters have agreed to purchase, on a "bought deal" basis 8,181,820 units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of C$5.50 per Unit (the "Offering Price") for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of C$45,000,010 (the "Offering"). Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of the Company (a "Unit Share") and one half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a "Warrant").  Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Company (a "Warrant Share") at a price of C$7.20 for a period of 24 months following the Closing Date (as defined below).

The Company has also agreed to grant the Underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,227,273 Units at the Offering Price, exercisable in whole or in part, for a period ending 30 days from and including the Closing Date. In the event the over-allotment option is exercised in full, the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering will be approximately C$51,750,002.

The Units will be offered in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario by short form prospectus, and in those jurisdictions outside of Canada which are agreed to by the Company and the Underwriters, where the Units can be issued on a private placement basis, exempt from any prospectus, registration or other similar requirements.

The Offering is expected to close on or about February 9, 2018 (the "Closing Date") and is subject to certain conditions, including but not limited to, the receipt for all necessary approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

In connection with the Offering, Delavaco Group has been appointed as a special advisor to the Company.

Further to its earlier press release, Nuuvera would like to clarify that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Italian medical cannabis import licence and the transaction is anticipated to close on or about January 31, 2018, subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The purchase price for all of the outstanding shares of FL Group, the holder of the licence, is up to approximately 1,000,000 Euro with approximately 850,000 Euro payable upon closing of the transaction and up to approximately 150,000 Euro payable over two years, subject to certain adjustments in accordance with the terms of the definitive agreement.
