Capital Secured at Favourable Terms
Replaces Previously Announced Private Placement
VANCOUVER, BC, July 26, 2022 /CNW/ - PlantX Life Inc. (CSE: VEGA) (Frankfurt: WNT1) (OTCQB: PLTXF) ("PlantX" or the "Company") today announced that it has obtained debt financing whereby it may borrow a principal amount of up to $10,000,000 from an arm's length creditor (the "Holder"), pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of a secured convertible promissory note issued to the Holder (the "Convertible Note"). With this financing, the Company announced that it is no longer pursuing its non-brokered private placement that was previously announced on July 13, 2022.
"We listened to the feedback of shareholders, and have secured financing at attractive terms that is a more appropriate way for PlantX to fund its operations and plans," said PlantX CEO, Lorne Rapkin.
The Convertible Note will bear interest at rate of 5.0% per annum, payable monthly and matures on May 1, 2024 (the "Maturity Date"). Proceeds under the Convertible Note will be advanced by the Holder to the Company, at the request of the Company, from time to time, provided that any advance shall be for a minimum of $250,000. The Convertible Note is secured by a general security interest over substantially all of the present and after-acquired personal property of the Company and certain subsidiaries and guaranteed by the same subsidiaries. The Company intends to use the proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Holder may, at any time up to and including the Maturity Date, convert, in whole or in part, the then outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest (the "Eligible Conversion Amount") into common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") at a conversion price equal to the closing trading price of the Common Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") on the last trading day immediately prior to the delivery of a written conversion notice by the Holder, provided that the in no event shall the conversion price per Common Share be less than $0.05 per Common Share (the "Conversion Price"), subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Note.
Additionally, in the event the ten (10) day volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the CSE is greater than $0.25 per Common Share at any time following the date issuance of the Convertible Note, then the Company shall be entitled to convert all of the Eligible Conversion Amount into Common Shares at the Conversion Price.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Convertible Note shall not be permitted to be converted by either the Holder or the Company, whether in whole or in part, where such conversion results in the Holder having beneficial ownership of, or control or direction over, whether direct or indirect, or any combination thereof, equal to or more than 10% of the then issued and outstanding Common Shares, such amount taking into account any other Common Shares issuable pursuant to any other convertible securities beneficially owned, controlled or directed by the Holder on a post-conversion basis.
The securities issued in connection with the Convertible Note are subject to a four-month hold period, in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
