Aura Health Provides Further Clarity Regarding Offering and Strategic Investor

Aura Health Inc. (CSE:BUZZ)  is pleased to provide further clarity on the press release dated February 21, 2019 with regards to the upsized private placement subscription receipt offering (the “Offering”), including the participation by a strategic investor and the divestiture by Aura of certain non-material U.S. assets.

Aura is currently in the process of divesting its 30% interest in four medical marijuana clinics in the U.S. (the “U.S. Assets”). The proceeds from the sale of the U.S. Assets are not expected to be material to the Company.

The divestiture of the U.S. Assets will constitute an additional escrow release condition to be satisfied in order for the escrowed funds to be released to the Company pursuant to the Offering.

The Company respects the clarification provided by Aleafia Health Inc.’s February 21, 2019 press release and their notification not to proceed with their previous investment discussions in the Company at this time.

Pursuant to the terms of the private placement to issue and sell up to $7.26 million of subscription receipts at $0.22, the first close is expected to occur on or about February 27, 2019.
