Supreme Cannabis Amends Credit Facility

TORONTO, Sept. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - The Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc. ("Supreme Cannabis" or the "Company") (TSX: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF) (FRA: 53S1) announces that it has entered into an agreement (the "Credit Facility Amendment") with its lenders to amend the three-year term credit facility initially announced on November 14, 2019 (the "Credit Facility").

Under the terms of the Credit Facility Amendment, the Company secured a deferral of its financial covenants related to fixed charge coverage ratio and leverage by 12 months to begin in the quarter ending March 31, 2022. New covenants regarding minimum liquidity and EBITDA will be tested in the interim. In addition, the Company has agreed to a 75 basis point increase in the applicable interest rate margin on the Credit Facility to reflect current industry dynamics.

The requirement for a minimum restricted cash balance has been removed and that balance has been used to repay a portion of the term loan outstanding. With the Credit Facility Amendment, the Credit Facility remains with a three-year term and has an amended term loan of $57.2 million and a revolving credit facility limit of $7.0 million.

"This amended facility is in line with our ongoing focus on right-sizing the business to align with our current strategy, and also proactively provides us improved runway to execute on our plan of being a profitable premium Cannabis CPG company," said Beena Goldenberg, President and CEO of Supreme Cannabis. "It also demonstrates that our lenders continue to have confidence in the Supreme Cannabis business case."

The disclosure in this news release relating to the Credit Facility and the Credit Facility Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of such documents, copies of which are or will be filed on www.sedar.com.
