Avicanna (AVCN) has obtained a secured term loan in the principal amount of $2,118,000.

The loan is subject to an original issue discount of approximately 15 per cent, such that $1,800,000 was advanced to the company. The term loan is due October 19, 2022.

In connection with the loan, Avicanna intends to issue common share purchase warrants to the lender following the revocation of the failure-to-file cease trade order (FFCTO) issued by the Ontario Securities Commission on June 11, 2021, and the resumption of trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The warrants and any common shares issued will be subject to a statutory four-month hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws. 

The term loan and issuance of the warrants are subject to the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the final approval of the TSX.
