CALGARY, Sept. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Westleaf Inc. (the "Company" or "Westleaf") (TSX-V:WL) (OTCQB:WSLFF) is pleased to announce that pursuant to a Consulting and Extraction Services Agreement between a subsidiary of Xabis Inc. ("Xabis") and Westleaf Labs LP, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Agreement"), the Company has issued 909,090 common shares ("Common Shares") in the capital of the Company to Xabis at a deemed price of $0.44 per share (the "Tranche 1 Shares").
Under the terms of the Agreement, which was previously announced by the Company on June 4, 2019, Xabis will provide technical expertise to the Company's Calgary-based extraction, processing and manufacturing facility ("The Plant"), in exchange for equity-based compensation of up to $1,000,000 worth of Common Shares, payable in three tranches over a three year period and a cash payment consisting of six monthly fixed fee service-based cash payments estimated to amount to approximately $138,000. The quantity of the Common Shares to be issued under each tranche will be determined by dividing the equivalent dollar amount to be received under the respective tranche by the five day volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares determined on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Common Shares are to be issued or such other method as may be permitted by TSX Venture Exchange policy.
The issuance of the Tranche 1 Shares is the first of three tranches of Common Shares to be issued to Xabis pursuant to the Agreement.
