March 1, 2021 – Vernon, B.C. – True Leaf Brands Inc. (“True Leaf” or the “Company”) (CSE: MJ) (OTC Pink: TRLFF) (FSE: TLAA) is pleased to announce that, further to its news releases of January 6, 2021, and February 1, 2021, the Company has closed a non-brokered private placement (the “ Offering ”) to raise gross proceeds of $1,534,479 (CAD) through the sale of 4,262,436 common shares priced at $0.36 per share, 53% more than the original $1,000,000 target. All shares issued are subject to a fourmonth hold period from the date of issuance.
The proceeds from the Offering will be used to pay down existing liabilities, general working capital purposes, and to initiate the Company’s strategic plan to become a leading provider of seed-to-shelf solutions for micro-cultivators and small-scale cannabis processors in Canada.
“True Leaf is proud to have strong investor support for our strategic plan and mission to support the craft cannabis community with a better route to market,” said CEO Darcy Bomford. “This successful raise will allow us to prepare our True Leaf Campus facility to advance this initiative.”
