INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 6-K REPORT

 

On December 8, 2022, Flora Growth Corp., a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario (“Flora” or the “Company”), entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “Investors”) in connection with the issuance and sale by the Company in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”) of 12,500,000 of the Company’s common shares, no par value per share (the “Common Shares” and, such number of Common Shares issued and sold in the Offering, the “Offered Shares”), and warrants (the “Investor Warrants”) to purchase up to 12,500,000 of Common Shares (the “Investor Warrant Shares”), at a combined purchase price of $0.40 per Offered Share and associated Investor Warrant to purchase one Common Share, pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-267585) and a related base prospectus, together with the related prospectus supplement dated as of December 8, 2022 (such registration statement, prospectus and prospectus supplement, collectively, the “Registration Statement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Investor Warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.40 per Common Share, exercisable immediately upon issuance and for a period of five years from the issuance date.

 

A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“A.G.P.”) acted as placement agent in connection with Offering, and in consideration therefor the Company agreed to register and issue to A.G.P.  warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”, and together with the Investor Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 500,000 Common Shares (the “Placement Agent Warrant Shares”, and together with the Investor Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”) pursuant to the Registration Statement.  The Placement Agent Warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.44 per Common Share, exercisable on or after the 181st day immediately following the date of issuance and for a period of five years from the issuance date. In addition, the Company agreed to pay A.G.P. an aggregate cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds raised in the Offering. The Company will also reimburse A.G.P. for legal fees and other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Offering of $50,000 as well as for non-accountable expenses of $15,000.

 

The net proceeds from the Offering were approximately $4.5 million after deducting A.G.P.’s fees and other estimated expenses relating to the Offering. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for capital expenditures, to increase operating capacity, working capital and general corporate purposes. 

 

The Securities Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and the Investors.  Additionally, the Company has agreed to provide the Investors with customary indemnification under the Securities Purchase Agreement against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

In connection with the Offering, the Company also amended the terms of the warrants issued to the Investors in the November 2021 public underwritten offering to reduce the exercise price of such warrants to $0.40.

 

The closing of the issuance of the Offered Shares, the Investor Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants occurred on December 13, 2022.

 

The Company also issued a press release announcing the pricing of the Offering on December 9, 2022, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
