  • Delta 9 announced the cash repayment of its unsecured 8.5% convertible debentures issued in July. The $11.8 million cash repayment represents a full payout of the Convertible Debentures. The Convertible Debentures were previously traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “DN.DB”. The Company met the pre-disbursement conditions required to draw-down $11.8 million under its credit facility with ConnectFirst Credit Union and concurrently made the cash repayment of the Convertible Debentures. The Company’s $11.8 million draw-down from its credit facility is subject to a 60-month repayment term at a fixed rate of 4.55% per annum, amortized over 144 months.

    Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company and one Common Share purchase warrant of the Company. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.255 per Common Share for a period of 36 months. Delta 9 also completed a loan from a shareholder in the amount of $4,990,264.37 that is due on July 15, 2025. The Loan shall bear interest at 6% per annum.
