Zenabis Announces Extension of Unsecured Convertible Notes

VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 19, 2020 /CNW/ - Zenabis Global Inc. (TSX: ZENA) ("Zenabis" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into definitive agreements (the "Note Amending Agreements") with the holders (the "Noteholders") of two of the unsecured convertible notes originally issued by Zenabis Investments Ltd. on October 17, 2018, as amended on January 3, 2019 (each, a "Note" and collectively, the "Notes"). Such Notes have an aggregate principal amount of $6,400,000 with a prior maturity date of October 17, 2020. The key terms of the Note Amending Agreements include:

• the deferral of the maturity date of the Notes from October 17, 2020 to June 30, 2021 (the "New Maturity Date"); and
• Zenabis' issuance of 1,237,500 common share purchase warrants ("Warrants") to each Noteholder. Each Warrant entitles the Noteholder to purchase a common share in the capital of Zenabis at an exercise price of $0.15 for a period of five years from the date of issue.

Additionally, the holder of a third Note with a principal amount of $2,600,000 has delivered an interim waiver (the "Waiver") of any default under such Note upon its maturity to facilitate ongoing negotiations for the extension or settlement of such Note.

All of the Notes with a maturity date of October 17, 2020 were covered by the Note Amending Agreements or the Waiver. 

The Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") has not approved the issuance of the Warrants and the issuance of these securities is subject to TSX approval.
