Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

The information set forth in Item 3.02 regarding the Private Placement is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On August 30, 2021, Lowell Farms Inc. (the “Company”) completed a US $18 million non-brokered private placement of common equity (the “Private Placement”).

 

Pursuant to the Private Placement, the Company sold 18 million units of the Company (the “Units”) for a purchase price of US $1.00 per Unit or aggregate gross proceeds of US $18.0 million. Each Unit is comprised of one subordinate voting share of the Company (a “Share”) and one‐half of one Share purchase warrant of the Company (each full Share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant is exercisable to acquire one subordinate voting share of the Company (a “Warrant Share”) at any time until August 30, 2024, at an exercise price of US $1.40 per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The Company entered into subscription agreements and warrants with the participating investors.

 

Proceeds from the Private Placement are contemplated to be used for working capital purposes, automation investments, and expansion into new markets.

 

Certain officers and directors of the Company purchased an aggregate of 2,900,000 Units pursuant to the Private Placement on the same terms as the other participants in the Private Placement. Participation by such insiders of the Company in the Private Placement was considered a "related party transaction" under relevant U.S. and Canadian securities laws and was approved by the disinterested directors of the Company.

 

The Units, their components and underlying securities were offered and will be issued in reliance upon Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as a transaction not requiring registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act. Each investor represented that it is an accredited investor and that it is acquiring the securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to any resale, distribution or other disposition of such securities in violation of the United States federal securities laws. Securities issued in the Private Placement are "restricted securities" under the Securities Act and may not be transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered or an exemption is available under the Securities Act. Neither this Current Report on Form 8-K, nor the exhibits attached hereto, is an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the subscription agreements, the Company has agreed to register the Shares included in the Units and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants for resale within 75 days of the closing date.

 

The foregoing summaries of the terms of the subscription agreements and warrants does not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the form of subscription agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, and to the complete text of the form of warrant, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
