Zenabis Provides Update on Previous Financing

VANCOUVER, Feb. 8, 2019 /CNW/ – Zenabis Global Inc. ("Zenabis") (TSXV: ZENA) is pleased to provide an update on a previously-announced Secured Convertible Debenture financing.  Zenabis issued a secured convertible debenture in October 2017, on which it drew $4,150,000 on October 17, 2018.  In connection with completion of its RTO, Zenabis was not permitted to draw the remaining $20,850,000.

Subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals, Zenabis and the lender have agreed to the following amendment of the terms of the Secured Convertible Debenture for the current undrawn amount of $20,850,000:

Term	Secured Convertible Debenture Agreement as of 17 October 2018	Proposed Amended Secured Convertible Debenture Agreement as of 8 February 2019
Conversion Right	Right to convert 100% of the Secured Convertible Debenture at $4.04 per share (a 20% discount to the price of the private placement announced November 27, 2018)	Continuing Right to convert the $4,150,000 principal amount drawn 17 October 2018 at $4.04 per share (a 20% discount to the price of the private placement announced November 27, 2018)
Warrants	No warrants	2,593,283 warrants, each entitling the lender to acquire one Zenabis share for a period of one year at a price of $4.02 per share (50% warrant coverage)

The result of the amendment is that the maximum total dilution is as follows:

Secured Convertible Debenture Agreement as of 17 October 2018	Proposed Amended Secured Convertible Debenture Agreement as of 8 February 2019
A maximum of 1,027,857 common shares in Zenabis from the current drawn amount	A maximum of 1,027,857 common shares in Zenabis from the current drawn amount
A maximum of 6,191,911 common shares in Zenabis upon the remainder of $20,850,000 being drawn	A maximum of 3,621,140 common shares in Zenabis upon the remainder of $20,850,000 being drawn

Andrew Grieve, the Chief Executive Officer of Zenabis, remarked, "We are pleased to have negotiated the opportunity to meaningfully reduce the maximum amount of dilution that will result from drawing on the remainder of the Secured Convertible Debenture."

About Zenabis

Zenabis is a significant licensed cannabis cultivator of medical and recreational cannabis, and employs staff coast-to-coast, across facilities in Atholville, New Brunswick; Delta and Langley, B.C.; and Stellarton, Nova Scotia. In addition to gaining technologically advanced knowledge of plant propagation, the recent addition of state of the art greenhouses in Langley provides Zenabis with 3.5 million square feet of facility space that can, upon full conversion, be dedicated to cannabis production.

If all facility space is fully built out and dedicated to production, Zenabis will own, and have access to, 660,000 square feet of high quality indoor cannabis production space, as well as 2.1 million square feet of greenhouse space at its Langley facility (an additional 700,000 square feet of greenhouse space will be used to continue the existing propagation business, to be converted at such a time that is beneficial to the strategic position of the company), strategically positioned on Canada's coasts. These facilities, if fully converted for cannabis production, would have the design capacity to yield 479,300 kg of dried cannabis annually, for both national and international market distribution. The Zenabis brand name is used among the medical market, while Namaste is used to service the recreational market.

The management team at Zenabis has significant experience in finance, agriculture, technology, pharmaceutical sales, consumer packaged goods, international distribution and brand marketing. Leadership is backed by the expertise of a Chief Growing Officer, a Chief Science Officer and Chief Medical Officer.
