Centurion Provides Update on HAI Beverages Amalgamation

Centurion to acquire a Disruptive Water-Soluble Cannabinoid Technology Platform Delivering Rapid Onset, Increased Bioavailability, Premium Taste Profiles and Highly Competitive Cost Structure

Centurion Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: CTN) ("Centurion", or the "Company") wishes to provide an update on its previously announced Amalgamation Agreement (the "Agreement"), with HAI Beverages Inc. ("HAI"), whereby Centurion is acquiring 100% of the outstanding shares and assets of a wholly-owned subsidiary of HAI ("NewHAI") in exchange for common shares of Centurion (the "Acquisition" or "Transaction"). NewHAI holds all material assets of HAI and the Acquisition will constitute a reverse take-over ("RTO") of the Company.

Hai and Centurion continue to work diligently together on multiple aspects related to completing the transaction including: refining the business plan, preparing legal documentation for submission to the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V"), completing an audit of the Hai business, updating the corporate presentation, arranging financing and implementing the Centurion share consolidation.

Centurion is also working with Hai on commercializing the Hai products in South America with the short-term goal of procuring agreements with current licensed producers to manufacture and distribute water-soluble cannabinoids, in ready-to-drink and dry formulations. Hai is progressing well with the implementation of its business plan in certain South American jurisdictions through the Centurion team's introductions and relationships. Follow this link for the Hai Beverages corporate overview.

Financing

HAI and Centurion (the "Parties") have agreed to increase the financing from the initially announced $2,500,000, to $5,000,000 (the "Financing"). The Parties intend to undertake the Financing by way of private placement at $0.50 per Unit. Each Unit will consist of one common share and one share purchase warrant. The Parties anticipate that each Warrant shall have a term of 24 months commencing on the Closing Date and shall entitle the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.65.

Centurion Share Consolidation

The Company intends to undertake a (2 for 1) share consolidation immediately whereby 2 common shares shall be exchanged for 1 post-consolidation common share of the Company. The number of stock options, warrants and related exercise prices will also be adjusted in accordance with the consolidation ratio. For reference, the Company currently has 33,639,473 common shares issued and outstanding.

Warrant Extension

At present, the Company has 20,112,575 warrants exercisable at a price of $0.15 per share and expiring on various dates in 2021 commencing on July 10. Upon completion of the share consolidation, there will be 10,056,287 exercisable at $0.30. The Company intends to apply to the TSX-V for a one-year extension to the exercise expiry date of the warrants.

AGM Date Set

Thursday the 29th of July 2021 has been set as the Centurion Annual General Meeting ("AGM") date. Meeting notice and Management circular will be mailed shortly. To mitigate potential risks of COVID-19 to the health and safety of our shareholders, employees, and other stakeholders, the Company has established a conference call number 1-866-305-1460 (Passcode is 7680289) for those shareholders who wish to follow the proceedings.

About HAI

The HAI team has extensive experience in the beverage and consumer packaged goods industries, founding HAI to capitalize on the disruption of the alcohol beverage market by cannabis infused products. The HAI team's deep understanding of the global beverage market and its experience in developing successful beverage brands, resulted in a proprietary technology platform that delivers:

  • Rapid onset and high bioavailability, providing an experience similar to the sessionability of alcohol consumption;
  • A cost structure competitive with non-infused, mass market beverages; and
  • Multi-format product capabilities.

HAI has developed an extensive portfolio of technology and assets related to water-soluble cannabinoids (THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids), including:

  1. A range of ready-to-drink beverage products targeting specific consumer groups.
  2. Seltzers, sodas, and a variety of carbonated cocktail formulations.
  3. Single-serve powdered drink offerings utilizing HAI's dry water-soluble technology.
  4. Teas, coffee, and mate (also known as cimarron), including K-Cup single serve formats, using a dry water-soluble formulation.
  5. A suite of advanced topical products that utilizes HAI's concentrates to enable rapid transdermal delivery of the active cannabinoid ingredients.

The HAI research team has successfully developed multiple infused beverage products containing highly bioavailable cannabinoids that deliver an equivalent experience to alcohol consumption and importantly, result in a rapid onset (within 3 to 5 minutes, compared to other available products having an onset of 15 to 45 minutes). The intellectual property Hai has developed around bioavailability and rapid onset led to HAI's first patent application.

Go-to-Market Strategy

HAI is implementing a two-prong, go-to-market strategy, focused on:

1) Procuring agreements with current licensed producers to manufacture branded and white-labelled water-soluble cannabinoids, in ready-to-drink and dry formulations; and
2) Royalty based licensing of intellectual property (the "IP") and processes to 3rd parties.

Centurion and HAI intend to pursue a cannabis beverage consumer packaged goods licensing and joint venture strategy anchored on the CannaEden operations in Uruguay. Through the CannaEden operation, and within legal jurisdiction parameters, the Company intends to initially pursue sales in Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. Centurion and CannaEden have advanced discussions with multiple South American pharmaceutical and consumer packaged goods companies in a coordinated effort to quantify potential domestic and international markets as well as determine feasible products and distribution networks.

The Company will also continue to develop and advance markets of initial focus for HAI, including Mexico, Canada, and the U.S.-based Latino markets (a significant, but largely underserved, demographic group). Activity in the U.S. would be limited to CBD-infused beverage manufacturing or licensing of IP within the legal guidelines established by the target jurisdictions and policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V").

CannaEden Amending Agreement

Pursuant to the Company's news release February 7, 2020, the Company has amended its original share purchase agreement (the "CannaEden Amending Agreement") with the Uruguayan group of companies doing business as CannaEden ("CannaEden") to align with the Company's planned share consolidation discussed above and the Financing. The CannaEden Amending Agreement amends certain provisions such that at closing, Centurion will issue 5 million shares (previously 10 million shares) in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares and assets of CannaEden. CannaEden will have the ability to earn up to an additional 3 million shares (previously 6 million shares) upon hitting the same revenue milestones as discussed above for NewHAI. The Company has also agreed to amend the Bridge Financing provision whereby CannaEden will have the option to receive either cash reimbursement, or common shares of the Company valued at $0.50, for expenditures incurred between execution date of the original share purchase agreement and closing of the Transaction.

Name Change

Subject to receipt of any necessary shareholder, Board of Director and or regulatory approvals, and coincidental with closing of the Transaction, the Parties propose to change the name of the Company to HAI Technologies Inc.

Trading in the shares of Centurion is expected to remain halted pending receipt of conditional approval from the TSX-V and/or closing of the Transaction.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we supplement our results with non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin %, adjusted net (loss) income, adjusted net (loss) income per diluted share, and free cash flow. The Company calculates EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization; adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, interest income, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization and also excludes certain extraordinary items; adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA as % of revenue, adjusted net (loss) income as net income (loss) less certain extraordinary items; adjusted EPS as adjusted net (loss) income divided by basic and diluted shares outstanding; and free cash flow as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating results and financial performance. We believe these measures are useful to investors as they are widely used measures of performance and can facilitate comparison to other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are not, and should not be considered as, measures of liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with GAAP financial performance measures. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to such GAAP measures can be found below. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, our reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
