Emerald Health Therapeutics Proposes to Amend Warrant Terms

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Emerald Health Therapeutics, Inc. ("Emerald") (TSXV: EMH; OTCQX: EMHTF) announces that it intends to amend the terms of certain common share purchase warrants originally issued on September 9, 2019 (the "Warrants").

An aggregate of 12,500,000 Warrants were initially issued at an exercise price of $2.00 per common share of Emerald (each, a "Common Share") in connection with a $25,000,000 convertible debenture financing. Emerald intends to amend the exercise price of the Warrants such that:

• 6,250,000 Warrants will have an exercise price of $0.17 per Common Share (the "$0.17 Warrants"). If, at any time prior to the expiry date of the $0.17 Warrants, the closing market price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") is greater than $0.2125 for 10 consecutive trading days, Emerald may deliver a notice to the holder of the $0.17 Warrants accelerating the expiry date of the $0.17 Warrants to the date that is 30 days following the date of such notice; and
   
• 6,250,000 Warrants will have an exercise price of $0.21 per Common Share (the "$0.21 Warrants"). If, at any time prior to the expiry date of the $0.21 Warrants, the closing market price of the Common Shares on the Exchange is greater than $0.2625 for 10 consecutive trading days, Emerald may deliver a notice to the holder of the $0.21 Warrants accelerating the expiry date of the $0.21 Warrants to the date that is 30 days following the date of such notice
  
  (collectively, the "Warrant Repricing").

All other provisions of the Warrants will remain the same and all Warrants will still expire on September 9, 2021.  

The Warrant Repricing is subject to acceptance by the Exchange. The holders of the Warrants have consented to the Warrant Repricing. If the Warrant Repricing is accepted by the Exchange, Emerald expects that holders of the $0.17 Warrants will immediately exercise all such warrants for proceeds of $1,062,500 to Emerald (the "Proceeds"). Emerald intends to use the Proceeds for general working capital purposes.
