Convertible Debenture
On November 14, 2022, the Company entered into the Subscription Agreement with BT DE Investments, Inc., providing for the issuance of a $56.8 million (C$75.3 million) convertible debenture. The debenture is denominated in Canadian Dollars ("CAD" or "C$"). The debenture is convertible into 19.9% ownership of the Company's common shares at a conversion price of C$2.00 per Common Share of the Company on the TSX. The debenture will accrue interest at a stated annualized rate of 5% until such time that there is federal regulation permitting the use of CBD as an ingredient in food products and dietary supplements in the United States. Following federal regulation of CBD, the stated annualized rate of interest shall reduce to 1.5%. Interest is accrued annually and payable on the maturity date or date of earlier conversion.
On March 30, 2026, the Company announced that it has entered into an agreement to complete a transaction with BAT comprised of two components: (i) amendment and conversion of BAT’s outstanding C$75.3 million convertible debenture, as well as, all accrued interest, into Charlotte’s Web's common shares at a conversion price of C$0.94 per share; and (ii) a concurrent additional equity investment by BAT of $10 million (approximately C$13.6 million at current exchange rates) by way of a private placement at a price equal to the greater of (a) C$0.94 per share, and (b) a dollar amount equal to the maximum discount available pursuant to section 607 of the TSX Company Manual applied to the 5-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s common shares on the TSX prior to the closing date (collectively, the “Transaction”). The Transaction will result in the issuance of approximately 110 million Charlotte's Web's common shares to BAT and represents a total equity commitment of approximately C$103 million (approximately $75 million). Completion of the Transaction is subject to, among other conditions, TSX and shareholder approval. The Company's shareholders will be asked to approve the Transaction at an annual general and special meeting of the shareholders to be held on or about May 28, 2026.
