OrganiGram Secures $5M Credit Facility and Expedites Facility Expansion
OrganiGram Holdings Inc. (TSX VENTURE:OGI)(OGRMF) (the “Company“) is pleased to announce that it has received two Letters of Interest (LOIs) which will provide long-term debt totaling $5,000,000. The Credit Facilities significantly strengthen OGI’s financial position in a manner that is non-dilutive to shareholders.
The Company will be utilizing the capital injection to continue the development of its medical marijuana facility in Moncton, NB.
OrganiGram’s President, Mr. Rogers, states, “We are very pleased to have negotiated a non-dilutive form of financing for OrganiGram. These LOIs, totaling $5,000,000, will provide the necessary capital required to further accelerate our growth strategy.”
OrganiGram has experienced a significant increase in patient registrations over the past few months and as such, is very pleased to have the capital to continue to accelerate their client acquisition strategies. The Company is currently awaiting a Health Canada inspection of 4 newly completed growing rooms, which are expected to come online by the end of June 2015.
Additionally, the Company has signed a multi-year agreement with Deloitte LLP (“Deloitte”) to provide audit services. Deloitte is the largest Canadian provider of professional financial services and the lead accounting firm in the medical marijuana industry, representing numerous other Licensed Producers. Deloitte maintains in-house expertise in the field and are members of the Canadian National Medical Marijuana Association.
Mr. Rogers states, “I am extremely pleased to announce that we have brought on Deloitte as our new auditors. I believe that their local presence supported by their industry knowledge will be of significant value to our company. Ernst & Young has relinquished their role as the company auditors and I would like to thank them for their contributions.”
The Company would like to announce the resignation of Mr. Dave Doherty from the Board of Directors, effective immediately. Mr. Doherty has been instrumental in guiding the Company through the RTO merger, listing and capitalization process.
OrganiGram’s CEO, Denis Arsenault, states, “On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank Dave for his support and guidance over the last year. With the above announced financing, the Company is now fully capitalized and well positioned to execute on its business plan, in large part due to the efforts of Dave. The entire team at OrganiGram would like to thank Dave for his service to the Company and wish him the best in his future endeavors.”
