Levitee Labs Enters into Credit Facility For Up To $12 Million

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Levitee Labs Inc. (CSE: LVT) (OTCMKTS: LVTTF) (FSE: 7H7) (the "Company" or "Levitee”), an integrative wellness company with a diversified portfolio of healthcare and wellness assets, is pleased to report that it has entered into a financing agreement for up to $12 million for further business expansion. The secured loan facility (the “Loan”) was arranged by RiverFort Global Capital Ltd. (a UK firm) and the Loan is from RiverFort Global Opportunities PCC Ltd. (“RiverFort” or the "Lender"). The Company will utilize the proceeds from the Loan to support the Company’s prospective future acquisitions of several assets in the clinics, pharmacies and mental health space as well as for working capital purposes.

Pouya Farmand, CEO of Levitee commented, "We are grateful for the support we are receiving from RiverFort. We believe this financing is not only reflective of their confidence in the proposed acquisition strategy, but also in the acquisitive growth potential of Levitee Labs once acquisitions are completed. We are committed to continuing to execute our accretive acquisition program, adding another catalyst engine to Levitee’s future growth potential."

Pursuant to the terms of the Loan, Levitee has agreed to draw down an initial $2.5 million tranche (“Tranche 1”), with this debt maturing on October 20th, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”), with interest payable by Levitee in an amount equal to 10% per annum of the amount of the Tranche 1 advance. Any subsequent advances under the Loan, which will be entirely at the discretion of Levitee, will be subject to interest payable by Levitee in an amount equal to 20%, to be applied to the term between the date of the relevant advance date and the Maturity Date. The closing of Tranche 1, and each subsequent tranche of the Loan, will be subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions involving Levitee and RiverFort, including the final regulatory approval by the Canadian Securities Exchange.

The Loan provides for 25% warrant coverage for each advance or draw down, determined as being 25% of the principal amount of the tranche divided by the Company’s share price at the time of the advance. The exercise price of the warrants will be set at 150% of the Company’s share price at the time of the advance and the warrants will expire three years after the date they are granted. Subject to the satisfaction of the Tranche 1 closing conditions, Levitee will issue 1,378,778 warrants (“Warrants”) to RiverFort whereby each Warrant will entitle RiverFort to purchase one common share of the Company (a “Share”) at a price of $0.68 per Share for a term of three years.

As part of the Loan agreement, RiverFort will have the option to convert up to 50% of the principal amount of the Loan into Shares at a fixed conversion price equal to 125% of the market price of the Shares at the time of the applicable draw down. Subject to the satisfaction of the Tranche 1 closing conditions, the fixed conversion price for Tranche 1 will be $0.544 per Share. In addition, RiverFort may at its option, once every thirty (30) days, request and require that the debt represented by the interest that has been deemed to accrue on the Loan be converted into Shares pursuant to a private placement price equal to 90% of the last closing price of the Shares on the day prior to the notice of such conversion.

Gytis Martinkus, CEO of RiverFort Global Capital Limited stated, “We are excited to be working with Levitee Labs as its financing partner as it moves to implement its strategy to be a leading integrative wellness company dedicated to redefining traditional mental health and addiction treatments. The strategy communicated to me and my team by the board of Levitee Labs was very clear, with the intention to deploy capital through M&A as well as expanding its operational interests within the medical and wellness space. Despite being new to the CSE having listed in July this year, our due diligence showed the business to have a clear and proven cash generative model which will be able to expand with additional working and operational capital. As a result, we invest in Levitee Labs with confidence and look forward to our further work with the Company on its journey.”

Levitee and RiverFort are independent and operate at arm’s length from one another. The Loan agreement and any Warrants issued to RiverFort pursuant to the Loan agreement will be issued pursuant to prospectus exemptions set out in National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions (“NI 45-106”) and any Shares issued upon conversion of the Loan or upon exercise of the Warrants will, if issued, also be issued pursuant to prospectus exemptions set out in NI 45-106 and will be subject to applicable statutory hold periods under National Instrument 45-102 Resale of Securities.
