Trading in the common shares of the Company (“Common Shares“) is expected to resume on the TSXV on December 20, 2023.

Pursuant to the RTO:

  • the Company implemented a consolidation of its then issued and outstanding 11,000,000 Common Shares on the basis of one new Common Share for every two existing Common Shares;
  • the private company Simply Solventless Concentrates Ltd. (“SSC PrivateCo“) amalgamated (the “Amalgamation“) with a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, 2366191 Alberta Ltd. (“Subco“), to form Massive Hash Factory Ltd., a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company;
  • all issued and outstanding common shares of SSC Private Co were cancelled and each former holder thereof, other than former holders who validly dissented in respect of the Amalgamation, is entitled to receive such number of common shares (“Common Shares“) of the Company for each one common share of SSC PrivateCo previously held; and
  • the Company changed its name to “Simply Solventless Concentrates Ltd.”

 

Following completion of the RTO, the directors and officers of SSC are:

  • Jeff Swainson, President, CEO and director
  • Jeff Hall, Chief Financial Officer
  • William Macdonald, director
  • Colin Davison, director
  • Steve Bjornson, director
  • Gord Cameron, Corporate Secretary

 

Jeff Swainson, President & CEO of SSC, stated “The closing of the RTO marks a significant milestone for SSC. We sincerely thank our shareholders and team for their support and commitment, which has ultimately allowed us to achieve this milestone during a time when the cannabis industry has faced significant headwinds. Despite these headwinds, over the past year and a half SSC has built an incredible team, developed a portfolio of fantastic cannabis products, launched two successful brands, Astrolab and Frootyhooty, increased revenue by 900%, achieved net income profitability, and reduced our debt from $9.1 million to zero. As we embark on our journey as a public company, we look to leverage our team, clean balance sheet, revenue growth story, and net income profitability to capitalize on the significant opportunities for organic and inorganic growth that have resulted from these headwinds.”

Prior to closing of the RTO, SSC PrivateCo, Subco and the Company entered into an amended and restated amalgamation agreement (the “A&R Amalgamation Agreement“), which amended and restated the amalgamation agreement dated August 6, 2021, as amended, the details of which are available in the Filing Statement.

 

The full details of the RTO are set forth in the Filing Statement and the A&R Amalgamation Agreement, each of which are or will be available on SSC’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

 

Equity Incentive Plan

In connection with closing the RTO, SSC adopted an equity incentive plan (the “Plan“), the details of which are available in the Filing Statement. The Plan allows SSC to grant equity based compensation awards in the form of stock options, restricted share units, deferred share units and performance share units. The Plan is a rolling 10% plan in respect of stock options and a fixed plan in respect of all performance-based awards. There are 48,475,188 Common Shares outstanding immediately following closing of the RTO, therefore up to 4,847,518 Common Shares may be issued upon exercise of stock options issued under the Plan. Up to 4,071,437 Common Shares may be issued upon exercise or settlement of all other awards under the Plan. The aggregate number of Common Shares issuable under the Plan and all other security-based compensation arrangements shall not exceed 10% of the total issued/outstanding shares, in accordance with TSXV Policies. As of the date hereof, SSC has 4,805,000 stock options and no other awards outstanding under the Plan. Amendments to the Plan must be approved by SSC’s shareholders, except for certain changes which are set out in the Plan and in accordance with the policies of the TSXV.
