CSE:ACB

VANCOUVER, June 6, 2016 /CNW/ - Aurora Cannabis Inc. – (the "Company" or "Aurora") (CSE – "ACB") (OTCQB – "ACBFF") (Frankfurt:  21P; WKN: A1C4WM) is pleased to announce that on June 3, 2016, the Company entered into a non-binding agreement for a draw-down equity facility of up to $5,000,0000. The agreement provides for equity private placement offerings (the "Offerings"), to be conducted between Aurora and Alumina Partners LLC, a New York-based private equity firm, in draw down amounts at the sole discretion of the Company, of up to $500,000. Pursuant to the terms of the Offerings, Alumina Partners will commit to purchase up to $5,000,0000 of units of the Company (the "Units"), consisting of one common share (the "Shares") and one half of one common share purchase warrant (the "Warrants"), at discounts ranging from 15% to 25% of the market price of the Shares, with each Offering occurring exclusively at the option of the Company, throughout the 18 month term of the agreement. The exercise price of the Warrants will be at a 25% premium over the market price of the Shares. Closing is anticipated later this month.

The purpose of the Offerings is to provide the Company with financial flexibility and unilateral control over the financing of its working capital requirements, and provide access to capital as deemed necessary by the Board of Directors of the Company.

"We are very pleased that Alumina Partners have selected Aurora to represent their first foray into the rapidly maturing cannabis sector," said Terry Booth, CEO. "This agreement provides us with additional financial flexibility under a single working capital facility that will serve to de-risk the Company as we transition towards profitable operations, and prepare to execute on the next phases of our business strategy."

"We are bearing witness to a historic development, with the rapid emergence of a well capitalized cannabis industry in North America - and particularly in Canada, with its established national medical cannabis system and legislative path to legalize consumer use," said Adi Nahmani, Managing Member of Alumina Partners, LLC. "We are very pleased to enter into this investment agreement with Aurora. Their combination of a fast-growing, government approved patient base and an experienced, newly-expanded management team positions them extremely well to ride this economic wave."
