Supreme Cannabis Obtains Approval from Debentureholders to Partially Convert and Amend Debentures


TORONTO, Aug. 31, 2020 /CNW/ - The Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc. ("Supreme Cannabis" or the "Company") (TSX: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF) (FRA: 53S1) announced today that holders (the "Debentureholders") of the Company's outstanding 6.0% senior unsecured convertible debentures issued in October 2018 (the "Debentures") have approved an extraordinary resolution approving the previously announced amendments to the terms of the Debentures.

The following amendments, among others, were approved (the "Amendments"):

The Debentures will continue to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the trading symbol FIRE.DB.

The accreted portion of the principal is payable in cash upon maturity but does not bear cash interest and is not convertible into Common Shares. This accreted principal will be evidenced by new debentures (the "Accretion Debentures"), which will not be listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, will bear a separate CUSIP and will trade separately from the Debentures.

In consideration of the reduction of the principal amount of the Debentures by $63.5 million, among other consideration, the Company will issue an aggregate of 116.6 million Common Shares (the "Consideration Shares") to Debentureholders. Debentureholders resident in eligible jurisdictions will receive half of their Consideration Shares as freely-trading shares, and the other half of the Consideration Shares will be subject to a four-month restricted period. Debentureholders resident in other jurisdictions will be entitled to receive Consideration Shares subject to restricted periods, subject to applicable securities laws.

In order for eligible Debentureholders to receive freely-trading Consideration Shares, such Debentureholders are required to instruct their CDS participants to make the appropriate election with respect to jurisdiction of residency through CDS before the election deadline (the "Election Deadline"), which is expected to be on or around September 8, 2020. Any eligible Debentureholder that fails to elect prior to the Election Deadline will receive 100% of the Consideration Shares subject to a four-month restricted period.

The foregoing description of the Amendments is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the supplemental trust indenture the Company intends enter into with the trustee on the Closing Date and which will be filed on the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.  At such time, all Amendments to the Debentures will become effective and Debentureholders will receive Consideration Shares and Accretion Debentures.
