Canada NewsWire

/THIS NEWS RELEASE IS INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION IN CANADA ONLY AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES./

TORONTO, Oct. 19, 2018 /CNW/ - The Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc. ("Supreme Cannabis" or the "Company") (TSXV: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF) (FRA: 53S1), is pleased to announce that, further to its news release dated September 27, 2018, the Company has completed its bought deal offering for gross proceeds of $100 million, including the exercise in full of the underwriters' over-allotment option (the "Offering"), comprised of 6.0% senior unsecured convertible debentures (the "Debentures") of Supreme Cannabis at the issue price of $1,000 per Debenture, with a syndicate of underwriters, co-led by GMP Securities L.P. and BMO Capital Markets, and including Cormark Securities Inc., Eight Capital, Beacon Securities Limited and P.I. Financial Corp.

The Debentures will have a maturity date that is 36 months from the closing date of the Offering (the "Maturity Date") and will bear interest from the date of closing at 6.0% per annum, payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31 of each year. The Debentures will be convertible, at the option of the holder, into common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") at any time prior to the close of business on the last business day immediately preceding the Maturity Date at a conversion price of $2.45 per Common Share (the "Conversion Price"), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The Company may force the conversion of the principal amount of the then outstanding Debentures at the Conversion Price on not less than 30 days' notice should the daily volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares be greater than $3.43 for any 10 consecutive trading days. Further details on the debentures can be found in the Company's filings on www.sedar.com.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for the construction and development of its existing and planned facilities in Canada. This includes the Company's facility in Kincardine, Ontario under construction and the development and construction of a facility on land purchased by the Company that is situated adjacent to such facility. The balance of the net proceeds will be used for general working capital purposes. In addition, the Company views the completion of the Offering as an important milestone in qualifying for graduation to the Toronto Stock Exchange alongside other leading mature licensed producers in the Canadian cannabis industry.

The Debentures were offered and sold by way of a short form prospectus filed in each of the provinces of Canada, excluding Quebec.
