Valens GroWorks Closes Final Tranche of Offering

On , In Press Releases

Valens GroWorks Corp. (CSE: VGW) (the “Company” or “Valens”), a vertically integrated provider of cannabis products, is pleased to announce the closing of an additional 85,000 units (the “Units”) for proceeds of $85,000, the final tranche of its non-brokered $1.00 per Unit private placement (the “Offering”) first announced on July 26, 2017. The Offering raised a total of $3,335,615.

Proceeds from the Offering settled significant secured debt owing to the founding shareholders of wholly-owned subsidiary Valens Agritech, incurred during the original 17,000 sf facility buildout. Insiders subscribed for an aggregate of 3,250,615 Units from the Offering, all in the initial tranche that closed on August 26. The Company is particularly pleased to have converted this debt into equity, underlining related party and shareholder confidence, and curtailing the related interest expense burden on the Company.

Additional licensing initiatives, expansion and extraction capability, as well as marketing & branding initiatives have been successfully funded through this Offering, as well as by the recently announced exercise of options and warrants that raised an additional $478,000 for the Company.

Closing of the Offering is subject to a number of conditions, including receipt of all necessary corporate and regulatory approvals, including the CSE. All securities issued pursuant to this private placement are subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance.
