THCBF - OTC
TFHC.F

VANCOUVER, March 16, 2017 /CNW/ - THC BioMed Intl Ltd. ("THC" or the "Company") (CSE:THC) announces that it has entered into a capital commitment agreement (the "Capital Commitment") with GEM Global Yield Fund LLC SCS ("GEM") for a $10 million Capital Commitment from GEM to invest into THC. Proceeds raised from the investment will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, particularly to acquire Clone Shipper LLC and support the Company's ongoing activities, development and expansion as a Licensed Producer under Canada's Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations ("ACMPR").

THC has the right to draw down under the Capital Commitment for a term of 2 years. Common shares will be issued to GEM at a price per share equal to the higher of the floor price set by THC and a 10 per cent discount to the market price of the common shares based on the immediately preceding 15-day volume weighted average price at for the acceptance period. Each draw down is subject to certain market out rights of GEM and approval of the CSE. GEM will hold freely trading common shares of the Company through a share lending facility provided by certain current shareholders.

THC will pay to GEM a commission fee of $225,000 upon the earliest of the closing of a private placement (in an amount equal to 15% of the proceeds of placements until the full amount of the fee is paid), 18 months from the date of the Capital Commitment or a change of control of THC. This fee will be payable by THC at the 18-month date even if it doesn't make any demands on the Capital Commitment. If, however, GEM fails to invest pursuant to the terms of the Capital Commitment, the fee will not be payable by THC. THC may elect to pay the commitment fee in cash or stock (subject to CSE approval).

As part of the transaction, THC has agreed to issue 6,635,000 common share purchase warrants to GEM, subject to the terms and conditions of the Capital Commitment. The warrants have an exercise price equal to the greater of $1.20 and the Market Price of the Common Shares on the date of the issuance of the Warrants. The warrants will have an exercise period of five years. The warrant exercise price is subject to repricing to 105% of the market price in the event that THC's market price is less than 90% of the Warrant exercise price on the first anniversary of the date of the Capital Commitment. The repricing must be done in accordance with the rules of the CSE. If the Company does not issue the 6,635,000 warrants within 18 months of the initial execution of the Agreement, the Company shall pay GEM 8% of the original face value of any unissued warrants.
