This financing is the precursor to a $4million multi-tranche financing to be announced in the following week.

“Alliance has now secured multiple on-going financing streams to ensure the Company is able to meet its financial obligations to earn its interest in the Cannabis Biotech Complex without excessive dilution to its shareholders, commented Dennis Petke, President and CEO of Alliance Growers. “A portion of this initial $400k financing, with a lead order of 2,000,000 units, will be allocated to our projects and will provide the company with working capital and to kick start our additional financing streams.”

Dennis Petke further commented, “At Alliance, we have always held ourselves out as a global cannabis company focused not on where the market is today, but where the market is going, and we have remained steadfast on that path. Our goal is to establish a long-term presence in the cannabis industry through diversity, science and technology. And we are accomplishing that by partnering with Pharmagreen to build a cutting-edge cannabis biotech facility outside of Mission, BC.in addition to other undertakings. Under the guidance of Dr. Fawzia Afreen and Peter Wojcik, Alliance has also formed a strategic partnership with B.R.I.M to pursue and develop new methods and technologies to establish a presence in the industry’s newest fields. Our recently established ongoing financing streams ensure we are able to carry out our vision.”

Each Unit of the Private Placement is comprised of one common share and one transferrable share purchase warrant. Each share purchase warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional common share in the capital of the Company at a price of $0.15 per share, for a period of two years from the date the Units are issued. The warrants are subject to an acceleration clause after the resale restrictions on the shares have expired. The expiry time of the warrants can be accelerated if the Company’s shares trade at or above a weighted average trading price of $0.25 per share for 10 consecutive trading days. Finders fees may be payable on portions or all the financing, at the rate of up to 8% in cash and 4% in Units bearing the same terms at the Private Placement.
