Captor Capital Corp.’s Acquisition of I-5 Holdings Ltd. Released from Escrow
The Acquisition was completed pursuant to a merger agreement dated February 16, 2018 (as amended) between Captor and I-5 whereby the holders (other than Captor) of common shares of I-5 (“I-5 Shares”) received 2.6 common shares of Captor Capital Corp. (“Captor Share”) in exchange for each I-5 Share. Captor issued a total of 171,868,364 Captor Shares in consideration for the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding I-5 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.20 per Captor Share. As part of the Acquisition, certain common share purchase warrants of I-5 are now exercisable into 22,208,031 Captor Shares at an exercise price of $0.25 per Captor Share and other common share purchase warrants of I-5 are now exercisable into 3,750,890 Captor Shares at an exercise price of $0.31 per Captor Share.
I-5 is a Canadian company focused on the US recreational and medicinal cannabis industries, with the goal of becoming a leading consumer-driven organization focused on delivering the highest quality cannabis products and experiences. With assets covering all three key verticals - cannabis production and processing, as well as a retail dispensary network - I-5 Holdings is uniquely positioned to benefit from the ongoing increase in legally available cannabis.
The company currently has operations in Washington and California. In California, I-5 Holdings controls two dispensaries that are licensed for recreational retail sales of cannabis products located in West Hollywood and Santa Ana, respectively. Each of these dispensaries are branded as MedMen stores and are both operated and managed by MedMen under separate management contracts.
In Washington state, I-5 has leased two cannabis cultivation facilities that are both equipped to produce high-grade cannabis. I-5 is in the process of sub-leasing these facilities to holders of cannabis cultivation licences. I-5 is also in the process of negotiating licence agreements with the sub-lessee cultivators for the use of certain intellectual property such as operational procedures and cultivation processes and methods in exchange for licence fees based upon the amount of cannabis produced at I-5’s facilities.
