MedMen Enterprises Inc. (CSE:MMEN) (OTCQX:MMNFF) (“MedMen” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce certain amendments to its US$250,000,000 senior secured convertible credit facility (the “Facility”) arranged by Gotham Green Partners.
As a result of the amendments to the Facility, the aggregate amount that remains available to be borrowed has not changed. However, in order to minimize dilution given the current capital market environment, both parties have agreed to amend the size of both Tranche 3 and Tranche 4, as well as the timing of Tranche 3. Tranche 3 now consists of $10,000,000 in available credit and Tranche 4 consists of $115,000,000 in available credit. The parties anticipate that Tranche 3 will be funded within 30 days instead of the originally proposed date in December 2019.
The Facility has also been amended to provide that funding of Tranche 4 will require the consent of both the Company and the lenders under the Facility. Certain of the reporting and financial covenants under the Facility have also been modified to provide the Company with additional balance sheet flexibility. The modifications include a reduction in required minimum cash balances, removal of restrictions on equity issuances and an additional ability to spin-out or borrow against certain non-core assets, in addition to sales and indebtedness that were permitted prior to the amendment.
Please refer to the Company’s news releases dated August 12, 2019, July 10, 2019, May 23, 2019 and April 23, 2019 and to other documents available on the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com for additional details as to the Facility, including the amendments made thereto.
In addition, the Company has agreed to form a committee to select new independent directors to be appointed or elected to the board, which directors would form a majority of the board. The Company will propose director candidates to this committee for consideration and approval.

The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws.

Such forward-looking information and forward-looking statements are not representative of historical facts or information or current condition, but instead represent only MedMen’s beliefs regarding future events, plans or objectives, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of MedMen’s control. Generally, such forward-looking information or forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or may contain statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “will continue”, “will occur” or “will be achieved”. The forward-looking information and forward-looking statements contained herein may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding or suggesting the sufficiency of the proceeds of the Facility for MedMen to realize its objectives, statements suggesting that the Company will close on Tranche 3 or that the lenders will agree to fund Tranche 4, the effects of the Facility on the financial condition of MedMen, the ability of MedMen to satisfy the remaining conditions (and any future additional conditions) to drawdown on Tranches 3 and 4 of the Facility after the Facility is amended, the anticipated completion of Tranche 3 of the Facility in the principal amount of US$10,000,000 within 30 days, the timing for the appointment or election of new independent directors, and the completion by MedMen of its currently pending acquisitions.

One key risk is that the lenders under the Facility exercise their discretion and decline to fund Tranche 4, in whole or in part, which could result in the Company requiring other sources of funding. Such funding may not be available and if available, may be on terms that are materially more restrictive or expensive than those under the Facility. There can be no assurances that Tranche 4 will ever be funded.
In addition, in connection with the forward-looking information and forward-looking statements contained in this news release, MedMen has made certain assumptions. Although MedMen believes that the assumptions used in preparing, and the expectations contained in, the forward-looking information and statements are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on such information and statements, and no assurance or guarantee can be given that such forward-looking information and statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information and statements. Key assumptions used herein that MedMen will be able to satisfy the conditions to drawdown on Tranche 3 and Tranche 4 of the Facility. The forward-looking information and forward-looking statements contained in this news release are made as of the date of this news release, and MedMen does not undertake to update any forward-looking information and/or forward-looking statements that are contained or referenced herein, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
