Namaste is well financed, having closed its previously announced "bought deal", raising gross proceeds of $40.3 million, including the full exercise of the over-allotment option. The company sold 15.8 million units at $2.55 per unit, with each unit consisting of 1 share and 1 warrant, with each warrant exercisable at $3.15 for 24 months, subject to an acceleration clause. Proceeds of the offering will be used to fund inventory and supplies for its CannMart facility, to expand its customer and user base, for e-commerce upgrades and for general working capital.

Namaste distributes vaporizers and smoking accessories through 24 e-commerce sites in 20 countries and with distribution hubs located around the world. It has majority market share in Europe and Australia, with operations in the UK, Canada and Germany and has opened new supply channels into emerging markets including Brazil, Mexico and Chile.

Through its acquisition of Cannmart Inc., a Canadian based late-stage applicant for a medical cannabis distribution license, the company is pursuing a new revenue vertical in online retail of medical cannabis in the Canadian market. It intends to leverage its existing database of Canadian medical cannabis consumers, along with its expertise in ecommerce to create an online marketplace for medical cannabis patients, offering a larger variety of products and a better user experience.
