13.05.2019  |  CNW

Company to Pursue CBD-Focused Business

VANCOUVER, May 13, 2019 -  Clean Commodities Corp. (TSX VENTURE: CLE) ("Clean Commodities" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding letter of intent dated as May 9, 2019 to acquire Pacific North Hemp Inc. ("Pacific North Hemp") by way of share purchase agreement (the "Transaction"). Clean Commodities and Pacific North Hemp intend to negotiate and execute a definitive agreement (the "Definitive Agreement") respecting the Transaction. The Transaction is an arm's-length transaction.

The Transaction

Under the Transaction, the Corporation intends to issue to shareholders of Pacific North Hemp a total of 50 million common shares of Clean Commodities which will be subject to customary escrow and statutory hold periods (the "Share Consideration"). Based on 102,448,746 common shares of the Corporation currently outstanding as of the date of this announcement, the resulting issuer (the "Resulting Issuer") would be majority held by incumbent shareholders of the Corporation at approximately 67.2% and approximately 32.8% as to incoming shareholders of Pacific North Hemp. Following closing, the outstanding warrants and options of the Corporation will represent warrants and options of the Resulting Issuer.

In conjunction with Pacific North Hemp's 2019 crop planting season, Pacific North Hemp recently entered into an arm's-length secured bridge loan facility in the amount of $250,000 (the "Crop Planting Loan") bearing an interest rate of 12%. The Corporation intends to acquire the Crop Planting Loan prior to closing of the Transaction (the "Crop Planting Loan Repayment"). The result of the Crop Planting Loan Repayment would be to securitize the licenses and crop assets of Pacific North Hemp in favour of the Corporation, reduce pro-forma interest incurred by the Resulting Issuer and to enable the Resulting Issuer to recognize the full crop revenue from Pacific North Hemp's deployment of the Crop Planting Loan for its 2019 growing season.

Further to the Corporation's interim financial statements for the period ending March 31, 2019 and as filed on SEDAR, Clean Commodities reported a positive net working capital position of $1,630,254, which shall be used to advance near-term growth initiatives of the Resulting Issuer and fund the Crop Planting Loan Repayment.

Clean Commodities does not intend to open a financing in conjunction with closing of the Transaction.

Clean Commodities does not intend to consolidate or subdivide its common shares in conjunction with closing of the Transaction.

On closing of the Transaction, it is anticipated that the Corporation will re-brand as Pacific North Hemp and will carry on with the development of Pacific North Hemp's business, more particularly described as set out below.

Subsequent to closing of the Transaction, the Corporation intends to examine the potential for a sale of its current mining assets with proceeds redeployed in its hemp/CBD business and/or the distribution of those mining assets to shareholders by way of a spin-co. There can be no assurance relating to the future sale or distribution of the Corporation's mining assets .

The completion of the Transaction is subject to various normal-course conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, execution of the Definitive Agreement, the completion of satisfactory due diligence, and the approval of the Transaction by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). Pursuant to section 4.1 of Exchange Policy 5.2, the Corporation is not required to obtain and will not be obtaining shareholder approval of the Transaction, as: (a) the Transaction is not a related party transaction; (b) the Corporation is without active operations; (c) the Corporation is not and will not be subject to a cease trade order and will not otherwise be suspended from trading on completion of the Transaction; and (d) shareholder approval of the Transaction is not required under applicable corporate or securities laws.
