"We are very pleased with the revenue growth we are experiencing in both the medical and recreational cannabis markets as evidenced by our consolidated revenue more than doubling over the same period last year. We are just beginning to see the positive financial impact from significant growth in the adult-use market with strong reviews and demand for of our product offerings across nine Canadian provinces," commented Chris Churchill-Smith, CEO of Canada House. "We continue to receive strong reviews on Abba's platform and product offering with medical sales growing at a consistent rate. We look forward to continued success and to demonstrating industry leading results as we complete and integrate the MTL Cannabis transaction."
Business Highlights:
• On August 9, 2021, Canada House and MTL Cannabis entered into a definitive share exchange agreement for Canada House's acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of MTL Cannabis (the "Transaction"). The Transaction is between arm's length parties and constitutes a "reverse takeover" of the Company, and it is anticipated that the Company will operate under the MTL Cannabis corporate name with shares trading on the CSE under a related ticker symbol following the closing of the Transaction. Canada House is expecting that the transaction will be completed in the first calendar quarter of 2022.
The Company also announced that, prior to the maturity of its outstanding Convertible Debentures dated December 5, 2017 (the "2017 Debentures"), the Company corresponded with the remaining holders of 2017 Debentures and proposed Convertible Debenture Amending Agreements (the "Amending Agreements") to: i) extend the Maturity Date of the 2017 Debentures to December 5, 2022; ii) increase the interest rate on the outstanding principal amount from 8.5% per annum to 18.0% per annum from and after December 5, 2021; iii) remove the conversion right under the Debenture; and, iv) reaffirm the Company's obligations under the 2017 Debentures. As the Maturity Date of the 2017 Debentures has passed without payment of the amounts due at maturity, the Company is in default under the 2017 Debentures and will continue to be so until the Company pays the amounts due at maturity or reaches agreements with respect to the extension of the Maturity Date thereof. If the Company is not able to enter into Amending Agreements with all holders of the 2017 Debentures to extend the Maturity Date of the 2017 Debentures, the principal and interest of the 2017 Debentures not subject to such extensions will be due and payable and the holders of the 2017 Debentures may exercise rights to enforce the payment thereof.
