Letter of Intent

The LOI provides that BevCanna and Capna, production partner to Bloom, will negotiate in good faith towards a joint venture arrangement (the “Definitive Agreement”) pursuant to which BevCanna would manufacture, possess, and sell cannabis products on behalf of Capna. The parties expect the following non-binding terms of the LOI to be formalized in the Definitive Agreement:

  • BevCanna would manufacture, possess, and sell cannabis products, including cannabis concentrates and cannabis extracts, on behalf of Capna, as and when permitted by applicable Canadian regulations under a licence expected to be granted by Health Canada to the Company; and
  • Capna would grant an exclusive license to certain technology and branding assets to BevCanna in Canada in connection with the Company’s production of cannabis products for Capna.
  • In the event Capna decides to extend their products to beverage, BevCanna shall be the exclusive beverage manufacturer for Capna in California and Canada, and will hold rights of first refusal to be the exclusive beverage manufacturer in any other US State.

In connection with the LOI, on October 22, 2019, BevCanna subscribed for 135,747 Seed Series Preferred Shares in the capital of Capna (“Capna Shares”) for an aggregate subscription price of US$250,000, and expects to subscribe for additional Capna Shares for an aggregate subscription price of US$250,000 upon entry into the Definitive Agreement. Entry into the Definitive Agreement is expected to occur by November 1, 2019.
