HAVN Life Announces Financing Commitment of C$9,000,000 through the issuance of Convertible Debentures and Warrants

HAVN Life Sciences Inc. (CSE: HAVN | OTC: HAVLF | FSE: 5NP), a biotechnology company pursuing standardized extraction of psychoactive compounds and the development of natural health products, is pleased to announce that Alpha Blue Ocean is supporting the Company’s growth with a CAD$‎‎9,000,000 ‎‎financing arrangement whereby the Company will issue up to $10.6 million principal amount of Convertible Debentures (as defined below), which will include one initial tranche in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 followed by up to ‎nineteen subsequent tranches in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 each over a period of 36-months (net cash to the Company for each tranche other than the first tranche to be $450,000 as described in greater detail below).

The Company has entered into a subscription agreement with Global Corporate Finance Opportunities 17‎ that provides for the issuance of convertible debentures and common share purchase warrants. The Subscriber is an investment fund managed by ABO.‎  HAVN Life intends to use the proceeds for general working capital purposes.

The Subscription Agreement provides a commitment to fund the Company up to $9,000,000 through the subscription for ‎$10,600,000 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Debentures‎ (including the Debenture Commitment Fee (as defined below)) in twenty tranches, with the first tranche being for the aggregate principal amount of $1,100,000 (inclusive of the Debenture Commitment Fee) and each additional tranche being for $500,000. The first Tranche is expected to close on or about August 4, 2022. The proceeds of the First Tranche are to be offset by certain transactional expenses, including payment by the Company to the Subscriber of a commitment fee of $600,000, after which the Company will receive proceeds of approximately $420,000. The Company intends to qualify the distribution of the Convertible Debentures, Warrants, and the common shares in the capital of the Company issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures and Warrants, to be issued to the Subscriber by way of a prospectus supplement to its final short form base shelf prospectus dated October 4, ‎2021.

The issuance of the Debentures and Warrants pursuant to the First Tranche is subject to certain closing conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange and completion of a 30-for-1 consolidation of the Company’s Common Shares.

In addition to the Debenture Commitment Fee, each Convertible Debenture will be issued for proceeds equal to 90% of the face value of the principal amount. The Convertible Debentures will mature on the date that is 12 months from the date of issuance ‎(unless accelerated in accordance with their terms), ‎and are convertible: (i) at any time at the option of the holder; and (ii) automatically at maturity. The conversion price of the Convertible Debentures is equal to 100% of the lowest daily ‎volume weighted average price of the Common Shares ‎on the CSE (or such other stock ‎exchange on which the Common Shares are then principally traded), during the fifteen (15) ‎trading days immediately preceding the date on which a conversion notice is delivered to the ‎Company (or, in the event of the automatic conversion of the outstanding principal upon the ‎maturity of the Convertible Debenture, the maturity date) ‎having regard for any adjustments made in accordance with the terms of the Debentures.

In the event that the Conversion Price is greater than the last closing price of the Common Shares on the CSE on the trading day ‎immediately preceding the date of the relevant conversion notice (or, where no conversion notice is given, the relevant maturity date of the Convertible Debentures), the Company will be required to pay the Subscriber a make whole amount to compensate the Subscriber for the difference between the actual conversion price and the Theoretical Conversion Price.

In each Tranche, the Subscriber is entitled to receive Warrants to acquire such number ‎of Common Shares as is equal to ‎‎50% of the aggregate principal ‎amount of the Convertible Debentures issued in each Tranche divided by the warrant exercise price. The Warrant Exercise Price is equal 120% of the lowest closing VWAP over the fifteen ‎trading days immediately preceding the request to issue a new Tranche, except that in connection with the First Tranche, the Warrant Exercise Price must be equal to the lower of $0.06 and 120% of the lowest closing VWAP over the fifteen trading days immediately preceding the request to issue the First Closing Date.

Upon the occurrence of certain events of default or a change of control, as set forth in the Subscription Agreement, the Convertible Debentures then outstanding may, at the discretion of the Subscriber, be immediately converted into Common Shares or redeemed in cash. The Subscription Agreement also contains provisions preventing the Company from issuing Convertible Debentures if the issuance of such Convertible Debentures would result in the Subscriber holding beneficial ownership or control of equal to or greater than 10.0% of the Common Shares (on a partially diluted basis).
