Columbia Care Borrows $185 Million at 9.5% for Five Years – New Cannabis Ventures

The Offering was conducted on a “best-efforts” basis pursuant to an agency agreement entered into on February 2, 2022 between the Company and a syndicate of agents.

The Company may redeem the 2026 Notes at par, in whole or in part, on or after February 3, 2024, as more particularly described in the fourth supplemental trust indenture governing the 2026 Notes.

In connection with the Offering, the Company has received binding commitments to exchange approximately US$31.75 million of the Company’s existing 13% senior secured notes due 2023, pursuant to private agreements in accordance with the trust indenture, for an equivalent amount of 2026 Notes plus accrued but unpaid interest and any negotiated premium thereon.
