Entourage Health Corp. (
TSX-V:
ENTG) (
OTCQX: ETRGF) (
FSE:
4WE) ("
Entourage" or the
"
Company"), a Canadian producer and distributor of
award-winning cannabis products, announced today that the Company
has partially repaid its senior secured credit facility (the
“
Credit Facility”) with Bank of Montreal
("
BMO") from the net proceeds of the sale of its
Strathroy facility and cash, and that the remaining balance of the
Credit Facility of approximately $14.6 million has been assumed by
its other senior secured lender, an affiliate of the LiUNA Pension
Fund of Central and Eastern Canada ("
LPF"),
allowing for the full repayment of BMO. In connection with the
assignment of BMO’s rights, interests and obligations under the
Credit Facility, BMO has also assigned certain related security of
the Company. Following such assignment, the Company has no further
obligations to BMO under the terms of the Credit Facility and the
related security and obligations previously existing in favour of
BMO have been assigned to LPF. The terms of the Credit Facility
were not amended in connection with the assignment. By
restructuring its senior secured debt, the Company simplifies its
capital structure in line with the strategic decisions made to
simplify its business operations.
The Company previously announced it would be
ceasing its cultivation activities and has signed a three-year
supply agreement with HEXO Corp. to buy bulk cannabis for its
expanding retail distribution and increased medical offerings. The
Company recently closed the sale of its Strathroy facility
enabling the Company to achieve greater financial
flexibility. The Company has also entered into a two-year
agreement with the University of Guelph to store its genetics
in-vitro and conduct research on its proprietary genetics. This
collaboration allows the Company to ensure that the maintenance and
advancement of proprietary genetics continue to be a priority for
its long-term business model.
"Through diligent financial management and
strategic planning, we have completed the restructuring of our
senior debt facilities. This achievement demonstrates our
commitment to fiscal responsibility, simplification of our business
at the operational and corporate level and paves the way for future
growth opportunities with fewer restrictions," stated George
Scorsis, CEO and Executive Chairman of Entourage. "With our
operations centralized at our production site in Aylmer, we have
achieved full optimization and efficiency in our processes. The
initiatives have already shown promising results, improving
productivity and reducing production costs, aligning with the
long-term best interests of our patients, customers, and
shareholders."
