David E. Argudo, CEO of High Hampton, commented:

“First and foremost, I would like to thank our shareholders for the overwhelming amount of support and interest we have received for this Offering. It represents a strong vote of confidence for our company and team to deliver on High Hampton’s near and long-term goals. Our strategic plan for 2018 is laid out, and we are now in an excellent financial position to aggressively pursue its execution and create sustainable value for our shareholders.”

Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (each a “Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant (each a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.90 for a period of 24 months following the closing of the Offering.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds to complete phase one of its Coachella development, finance strategic growth opportunities, and for general and corporate purposes.

In connection with the Offering, the Company paid to eligible finders approximately $1,129,286 in cash and issued 1,723,814 non-transferable finder’s warrants (the “Finder’s Warrants”). Each Finder’s Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.90 for a period of 24 months following the closing of the Offering.

Five insiders of the Company subscribed for 840,000 units, which constitutes a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The issuance to the insider is exempt from the formal valuation and the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the units issued to or the consideration paid by such person did not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

All securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a four month holder period expiring July 14, 2018.

None of the securities issued in the Offering will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and none of them may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act.
