CanBud Distribution Corporation Closes 2.6M First Tranche of its Previously Announced 3.5M Private Placement Offering

 CanBud Distribution Corporation (CSE: CBDX) (FSE: CD0) ("CanBud" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of approximately $2,639,080 (the "Offering"). The second and final tranche of the Offering is expected to close on March 2, 2021.

The Corporation issued 21,992,333 Units at price of $0.12 per Unit, with each Unit comprised of one common share in the capital of the Corporation (each a "Common Share") and one common share purchase warrant (each a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.22 within 24 months of the closing of the Offering (the "Warrant Term"), provided, however that if the closing price of the Common Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") (or any such other stock exchange in Canada as the Common Shares may trade at the applicable time) is $0.25 or greater per Common Share for a period of five (5) consecutive trading days at any time after the closing date of the Offering, the Corporation may accelerate the Warrant Term such that the Warrants shall expire on the date which is 30 days following the date a press release is issued by the Corporation announcing the reduced warrant terms.

Finder's fees in the aggregate amount of $84,470.39 in cash and 703,920 broker warrants (the "Broker Warrants") were paid to a syndicate of arm's-length finders, with the exception of $53,594.80 and 446,623 Broker Warrants paid to Florence Wealth Management Inc. ("Florence"). Raj Ravindran, CFO and Director of the Corporation, is the ultimate designated person and CEO of Florence. The Broker Warrants were issued on the same terms as the Warrants.

The proceeds raised from the Offering will be used by the Corporation for working capital, business development and general corporate purposes.

All securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day after closing. Completion of the Offering is subject to a number of conditions, including, without limitation, receipt of all regulatory approvals, including approval of the CSE.

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. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state where such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful. All securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day after closing of the Offering.
