The Flowr Corporation Files Preliminary Short Form Base Shelf Prospectus and to Present at ICR 2020 and AltaCorp 2020 Investor Conference

The Flowr Corporation (TSXV:FLWR, OTC:FLWPF) (“Flowr” or the “Company”) announced today that it has filed a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus (the “Shelf Prospectus”) with the securities regulators in each province of Canada, except for the Province of Quebec.

“Although we have no immediate plans to raise capital through this Shelf Prospectus filing at this time, we believe it’s prudent to give the Company the flexibility to access capital in the future when opportunities emerge to continue executing on our global growth strategies,” said Vinay Tolia, Chief Executive Officer of The Flowr Corporation. “Despite the recent market volatility, we continue to be bullish on the growth opportunities in our businesses globally in 2020 and beyond.  As we stated in our Q3 update, we believe we’ll be cash flow break even in the second half of 2020 with the capital available to us today. Flowr’s management and insider ownership exceeds 50%.  Management’s and the Board’s interests are highly aligned with all current and future shareholders of the Company.”

The Shelf Prospectus, when made final, will allow the Company to make offerings of common shares, preferred shares, debt securities, subscription receipts, warrants or any combination thereof of up to $175 million during the 25-month period that the Shelf Prospectus is effective. If any securities are offered under the Shelf Prospectus, when made final, the terms of any such securities and the intended use of the net proceeds resulting from such offering would be established at the time of any offering and would be described in a prospectus supplement filed with the applicable Canadian securities regulators at the time of such an offering.  The purpose of the Shelf Prospectus is to shorten the timeline to raise funds for growth opportunities and working capital.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities, nor will there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

A copy of the Shelf Prospectus, when made final, can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
