Flower One Announces the Completion of its Restructuring Transaction

The Completion of the Restructuring Transaction Marks Another Milestone in the Company’s Transformative First Months of 2021

Flower One Holdings Inc. ("Flower One" or the "Company") (CSE: FONE) (OTCQX: FLOOF) (FSE: F11), a leading cannabis cultivator and producer in Nevada, is pleased to announce today that (i) following its press release dated April 14, 2021, the Company has completed its restructuring transaction with its 9.5% unsecured debentures due March 28, 2022 (the “March Debentures”) and 9.5% unsecured convertible debentures due November 15, 2022 (the “November Debentures”, and together with the March debentures, the “Debentures”), both of which will now reflect a maturity date of January 31, 2024, and (ii) in connection with this restructuring transaction, a second loan modification agreement has been agreed upon with the term lender to the Company and its affiliates.

“We would like to once again thank all of our debentureholders and shareholders for their support as we complete our restructuring,” said Kellen O’Keefe, Flower One’s President and Interim CEO. “The Company is continuing on its upward trajectory and is looking forward to the coming months especially with Nevada’s announced plans to fully reopen on June 1st, which should further power the state’s recently reported record cannabis sales.”

The completion of the restructuring has allowed for: (i) a right-sizing of the Company’s capital structure by reducing the debt service burdens on the business and improving cash flow, (ii) new investment being made into the Company, and (iii) providing the Company with the runway it requires to maximize value to its stakeholders.

The Debentures were delisted from the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) today in order to implement the amendments to the Debentures contemplated by the restructuring transaction (the “Debenture Amendments”). The relisting of the amended debentures on the CSE is expected to occur tomorrow, April 20, 2021.

In connection with the restructuring transaction, the Company has issued an aggregate of approximately 91,260,762 units, with each unit comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and 5/6 of a warrant of the Company (each, a “Warrant”), to holders of Debentures, totaling approximately 91,260,762 Common Shares and approximately 76,050,635 Warrants. Correspondingly, the total principal amount of March Debentures outstanding has been reduced from CAD$42,471,000 to CAD$16,988,400; and, the total principal amount of the November Debentures outstanding has been reduced from CAD$9,276,000 to CAD$3,710,400.

Copies of the management information circulars outlining the approved resolutions to the Debentures can be viewed on the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com and on the Company’s website at: https://flowerone.com

Second Loan Modification Agreement

In connection with the restructuring transaction, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have entered into a second loan modification agreement (the “Second Loan Modification Agreement”) with RB Loan Portfolio II, LLC, (the “Term Lender”) with respect to the Company’s existing US$30 million term debt, secured by the facility at 3950 N. Bruce St., North Las Vegas, Nevada.

Pursuant to the Second Loan Modification Agreement, the Term Lender has agreed to forbear certain existing events of default under, and to make certain modifications to, the existing term loan and financing documents which included, among other things, (i) the extension of the maturity date from December 21, 2021 to January 26, 2023, (ii) the obligation of the Company, starting on January 1, 2022, to pay monthly installments of interest at 14% per annum in cash, (iii) the payment of the exit fee of US$1,000,000 by December 21, 2021 and the ability of the Term Lender to refuse a loan payoff until such exit fee is received.

In accordance with the terms of the Second Loan Modification Agreement, the Company has also issued 300,000 common share purchase warrants (the “Loan Modification Warrants”) to the Term Lender in satisfaction of a modification fee payable to the Term Lender pursuant to the Second Loan Modification Agreement. Each Loan Modification Warrant is exercisable for one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.39 per Common Share for a period of 36 months following the effective date of the Second Loan Modification Agreement.
