SMITHS FALLS, ON - Canopy Growth (NASDAQ:CGC) Corporation (TSX: WEED) (NASDAQ: CGC), a prominent player in the cannabis and consumer packaged goods market, has secured approximately $30M through a private placement offering. The transaction involved the sale of 6,993,007 units at a price of $4.29 each to institutional investors on Tuesday.
The influx of capital is aimed at bolstering the company's liquidity as it continues to focus on reducing overall debt. The funds from the offering are earmarked for debt repayment, working capital, and other general corporate purposes.
Each unit in the offering consists of one common share and one warrant, which could be either a Series A or Series B warrant. These warrants grant the holder the right to purchase additional common shares at $4.83. Series A warrants are exercisable immediately after the offering closes and remain so for five years, while Series B warrants can be exercised starting six months post-offering and up to five years thereafter.
Canopy Growth's offering is anticipated to close around January 10, 2024, subject to standard closing conditions. The company has also agreed to provide the investors with customary registration rights.
This financial move comes as Canopy Growth continues to expand its diverse portfolio, which includes premium cannabis brands such as Doja, 7ACRES, and Tweed, as well as wellness products by Martha Stewart CBD. The company's commitment to innovation is further exemplified by its vaporizer technology from Storz & Bickel, and its strategic positioning in the U.S. THC market through Acreage Holdings (OTC:ACRGF), Wana Brands, and Jetty Extracts.
The announcement, made under Rule 135c of the Securities Act of 1933, clarifies that the securities have not been registered and will not be sold in any jurisdiction where such an action would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the local securities laws.
