Sproutly Secures Convertible Debt and Equity Financings and Shares for Debt Settlement

Sproutly Canada, Inc. (CSE: SPR) (OTCQB: SRUTF) (FSE: 38G) (“Sproutly" or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has secured a private loan (the “Loan”) of $855,000 from Infusion Biosciences Inc. (the “Lender”), a related party of the Company (the “Debt Financing”). The Loan carries an interest rate of 15% per annum accruing and compounding monthly, payable on maturity on or before October 24, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”). The Company anticipates using the proceeds of the Debt Financing to support the Company’s general working capital.

The Loan is evidenced by a secured convertible debenture (the “Convertible Debenture”) that provides the Lender with the right to convert the principal and accrued interest of the Loan into units of the Company (the “Debt Units”) at a conversion price of $0.07 per Debt Unit, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Debenture (the “Conversion Price”). Each Debt Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the Lender to acquire one Common Share (a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price equal to $0.08 for a period of two years from date of issuance.

As a condition of the Loan, the Company agreed to amend terms included in the $1 million private loan (the “Original loan”) from the Lender, which was previously announced on January 28, 2020. The Original Loan carried an interest rate of 10% per annum accruing and compounding monthly, payable on the Maturity Date. The Original Loan is evidenced by a secured convertible debenture that provided the Lender with the right to convert the principal of the Original Loan into units (the “Original Units”) of the Company at a conversion price of $0.19 per Original Unit. As a result of the amendment, the interest rate has been amended to 15% effective as of the date of the amendment and the conversion price has been reduced to $0.07 per Original Unit. Each Original Unit consists of one Common Share and one Warrant, with each Warrant entitling the Lender to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price equal to $0.08 for a period of two years from date of issuance.

Private Placement

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has completed a non-brokered private placement of 1,500,000 units of the Company (the “Equity Units”), at a price of $0.07 per Equity Unit to raise gross proceeds of $105,000 (the “Private Placement”). Each Equity Unit consists of one Common Share and one Warrant, with each Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one Warrant Share at an exercise price equal to $0.08 for a period of two years from date of issuance.

No finder’s fees were paid in connection with the Private Placement. The Company anticipates using the proceeds of the Private Placement to support the Company’s general working capital.

Debt Settlement

In addition, the Company has completed a settlement of outstanding current debt (the “Debt Settlement”) of the Company in the amount of $180,000 (the “Debt”), pursuant to the terms of a debt settlement agreement with an arm’s length creditor (the “Creditor”). In settlement of the Debt, the Company has issued 1,800,000 Common Shares (the “Settlement Shares”) at a price of $0.10 per Settlement Share.

The Debt was completely extinguished upon the issuance of the Settlement Shares. The Creditor voluntarily elected to satisfy the Debt with the Settlement Shares in lieu of cash payment, which will allow the Company to preserve its cash for future operations.

All securities issued in connection with the Debt Financing, Private Placement and Debt Settlement will be subject to a four-month and one day hold period from their date of issue under applicable Canadian securities laws, in addition to such other restrictions as may apply under applicable securities laws of jurisdictions outside Canada.
