/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

MIAMI, April 9, 2019 /CNW/ - Cansortium Inc. ("Cansortium" or the "Company") (CSE:TIUM.U) announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Paradigm Capital Inc. (together with Canaccord Genuity Corp, the "Agents") pursuant to which the Company will issue on a private placement basis up to US$25,000,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible debenture units (the "Convertible Debenture Units" or the "Offered Securities") at an issue price of US$1,000 per Convertible Debenture Unit. Each Convertible Debenture Unit will consist of (i) a senior secured convertible debenture of the Company having a face value of US$1,000 (the "Principal Amount") and accruing interest at 12.0% per annum (the "Convertible Debentures") and (ii) 229 common share purchase warrants (the "Warrants") of the Company (the "Offering").  Each Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company (a "Warrant Share") at any time prior to March 21, 2021 at an exercise price of US$2.40 per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment in certain events.

The Convertible Debentures will bear interest from the Closing Date (as herein defined) at 12.0% per annum, with 6.0% payable quarterly in cash in arrears and 6.0% accruing and payable on the Maturity Date (as herein defined).  The Convertible Debentures will mature on the date that is two years following the Closing Date (the "Maturity Date").

The principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest in respect of each Convertible Debenture will be convertible at the option of the holder into common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") at any time prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the business day prior to the Maturity Date or (ii) the business day prior to any redemption or repurchase of the Convertible Debentures in accordance with their terms, subject to adjustment in certain events. Subject to the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE"), the Convertible Debentures will be convertible into Common Shares at a conversion price of US$2.15 per Common Share (the "Conversion Price"), subject to adjustment in certain events. Accrued and unpaid interest in respect of a Convertible Debenture converted at the election of the Holder shall be converted at the Conversion Price.

The Company shall have the right at any time following the first anniversary of the Closing Date and from time to time thereafter to redeem, in whole or in part, the Convertible Debentures, on payment of the principal amount of the Convertible Debentures to be redeemed together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, unless converted prior to the date of redemption.

The Company shall also grant an option to the Agents (the "Over-Allotment Option") to cover over-allotments and for market stabilization purposes, to arrange for additional purchasers to purchase up to an additional 15% of the Offered Securities (or 15% of the Convertible Debentures or Warrants, or combination thereof) issued pursuant to the base offering, with such Over-Allotment Option exercisable, in whole or in part, for up to 30 days following the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), on the same terms and conditions of the Offering.

The Agents shall be paid a cash commission equal to 4% of the Principal Amount of the Convertible Debentures issued pursuant to the Offering, payable in cash on the Closing Date and shall be issued such number of compensation options as is equal to 4% of the Principal Amount of the Convertible Debentures issued pursuant to the Offering divided by the initial Conversion Price, with each Compensation Option entitling the holder thereof to acquire one common share of the Company (each a "Compensation Share") at an exercise price of US$2.15 per Compensation Share for a period of two years following the Closing Date, subject to adjustment in certain events.

The obligations under the Convertible Debentures will be collaterally secured by the following: (i) a general security agreement constituting a charge and security interest in all of the personal property of the Company; (ii) an unlimited guarantee of certain US based entities owned by the Company (directly or indirectly) consisting of Cansortium Holdings LLC, Cansortium Michigan, LLC, Cansortium Pennsylvania, LLC and Cansortium Florida, LLC (collectively, the "Guarantors"); and (iii) a pledge of the membership interests of the Guarantors from the Company or such other security as may be negotiated by the Company and the agents.

Upon a change of control of the Company, the Company shall within 30 days either: (i) offer to purchase the Convertible Debentures at a price equal to 101% of the Principal Amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest; or (ii) cause the resulting entity to issue a replacement debenture on substantially the same economic and other terms as the Convertible Debentures.

Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about April 23, 2019 (the "Closing Date"). The Offering is in the form of a best efforts private placement (i) in Canada to "accredited investors" within the meaning of National Instrument 45-106 and other exempt purchasers in Canada as agreed upon by the Company, (ii) in the United States pursuant to available exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), and in compliance with applicable state securities laws, and (iii) outside Canada and the United States on a basis which does not require the qualification or registration of any of the securities of the Company.

The net proceeds of the Offering will be used for continued expansion of the Company's U.S. based markets, including Florida, Puerto Rico, Texas, Pennsylvania and Michigan and for general working capital purposes.

The Convertible Debentures, Warrants and any underlying securities shall be subject to a hold period of four months and a day from the Closing Date.
