VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 10, 2020 / Organto Foods Inc. (TSXV:OGO)(OTC:OGOFF) (‘Organto" or the "Company"), an integrated provider of value-added fruits and vegetables today announced a bridge debt financing ("Bridge Debt Financing") of up to CDN$400,000 secured promissory notes to certain arm's length and non-arm's length lenders.

Organto intends to close the financing on January 15, 2020. The Bridge Debt Financing will mature April 3, 2020, and bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum with interest due at maturity. The lenders will receive up to 2,051,280 warrants (assuming all C$400,000 bridge debt financing is placed) with each warrant being exercisable for a period of twelve months at an exercise price of CDN$0.065 per share. Any shares issued upon the exercise of the warrants will be subject to a hold period of four months starting from the date of issuance of the warrants in accordance with applicable securities laws. The promissory notes will be secured by shares of Xebra Brands Ltd. currently owned by Organto.
