The Cannabist Company Announces Partial Redemption of 13% Senior Secured Notes Due May 2024

The Cannabist Company Holdings Inc. (NEO: CBST) (OTCQX: CBSTF) (FSE: 3LP) (“The Cannabist Company” or the “Company”), one of the largest and most experienced cultivators, manufacturers and retailers of cannabis products in the U.S., announced today that it has delivered a notice of partial redemption (the “Notice”) to the holders of the Company’s outstanding 13% senior secured notes due May 14, 2024 (the “13% Notes”). The Notice provides that the Company will, on October 23, 2023 (the “Redemption Date”), redeem US$25 million of the total US$38.2 million principal amount of the Notes (the “Redeemed Notes”) currently outstanding (the “Partial Redemption”).

On the Redemption Date, Holders of Notes will have a portion of their 13% Notes, in denominations of $1,000, redeemed effective as of the Redemption Date on a pro rata basis in accordance with the terms of the trust indenture between the Company and Odyssey Trust Company (the “Trustee”) dated May 14, 2020, as amended and supplemented (the “Indenture”).

Holders of Redeemed Notes will be entitled to receive payment of $1,010 for each $1,000 principal amount of Redeemed Notes (the “Redemption Price”) plus all accrued by unpaid interest up to but excluding the Redemption Date. The Redemption Price will be due and payable on the Redemption Date upon presentation and surrender of the Redeemed Notes in accordance with the instructions in the Notice. All Holders that surrender 13% Notes to the Company for redemption that are redeemed only in part, will receive a new 13% Note for the unredeemed part of the principal amount without charge. All interest on the Redeemed Notes shall cease from and after the Redemption Date.

The Cannabist Company will satisfy its obligation to pay to the holders of Redeemed Notes the Redemption Price in cash from funds on hand. The Partial Redemption follows on the Company’s September 21 closing of a Private Placement for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately US$25 million, for which the primary intended use of proceeds was stated to be the reduction of outstanding indebtedness.

Beneficial holders of Notes should contact their investment dealer if they have any questions about the Partial Redemption.

Holders of Notes may also refer to the Indenture for a full description of the redemption process, a copy of which is available under The Cannabist Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.

Subsequent to this Partial Redemption, the Company will have reduced overall interest expense and realized an annualized reduction in interest expense of $3.25 million. In connection with issuing the Notice and completing the Partial Redemption, the Company does not expect to complete the previously announced exchange of certain 13% Notes for a later series of note to ensure pro rata and equal treatment of all holders of 13% Notes.
