Infused beverage expert readying for anticipated receipt of standard processing license

VANCOUVER, BC, February 18, 2020. Emerging leader in infused cannabis beverages, BevCanna Enterprises Inc. (CSE:BEV, Q:BVNNF, FSE:7BC)  (“BevCanna” or the “Company”), announced today that it is significantly expanding its manufacturing premises, in anticipation of the Company receiving its standard processing license and initiating full-scale commercialization this year.

Pursuant to a second amendment agreement (the “Second Amendment”) dated February 14, 2020, BevCanna’s current 5,235 square foot of dedicated cannabis production premises has doubled to 10,378 square feet.

“This expansion is an exciting step for BevCanna,” said John Campbell, Chief Strategy Officer at BevCanna. “We expect to receive our standard processing license imminently, and we’re preparing to initiate full-scale production in the coming months. We’ve seen a fantastic consumer and industry response to the upcoming Canadian beverage market, and this development ensures that we have capacity and full product offerings to fulfil the anticipated demand.”

“The high regulatory barrier to entry for cannabis infused beverages is proving difficult to surmount for many licensed producers that wish to expand their brands into this emerging category. Beverages are BevCanna’s core expertise. BevCanna’s world class bottling facility has been designed with maximum flexibility to cover a wide array of bottle sizes and form factors to allow the Company to fully serve its white label client needs.”

The Second Amendment was entered into with Naturo Group Investments Inc. (“Naturo”), and Naturo Springs Inc., a majority owned subsidiary of Naturo (“Naturo Springs” and together with Naturo, the “Lessor”).

In connection with the Second Amendment, the Company obtained an independent third-party fairness opinion from a Chartered Business Valuator.

The Second Amendment was a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Second Amendment was exempt from the valuation requirement of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemptions contained in section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 as the Company’s Shares are not listed on a specified market and from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemption contained in section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in that the fair market value of the Second Amendment did not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. As the material change report disclosing the Second Amendment is being filed less than 21 days before the transaction, there is a requirement under MI 61‐101 to explain why the shorter period was reasonable or necessary in the circumstances. In the view of the Company it was necessary to immediately close the Second Amendment and therefore, such shorter period was reasonable and necessary in the circumstances to improve the Company’s financial position.

The Company and the Lessor previously entered into a lease dated June 12, 2018, as amended on August 24, 2018 (the “Lease”). Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the parties further amended the Lease to:

-          increase the area of the premises that is available to the Company for its permitted use by the addition of 5,143 square feet, from the original 5,235 square feet, as set out in the Lease; and

-          increase the consideration paid to the Lessor by the Company under the Lease in order to give effect to the increased area of the premises.

The Company agreed to pay the  following additional consideration

-          $600,000 in cash, which has been paid; and $653,400 in common shares in the capital of the Company (each, a “Share”) at a deemed price of $0.425 per Share.

The Shares issued to the Lessor are subject to resale restrictions imposed by applicable law or regulation, including a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance.
