Aura Health Inc. (the “Company” or “Aura”) (CSE:BUZZ) is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche (the “First Tranche Closing”) of its previously announced “best efforts” private placement subscription receipt offering (the “Offering”) led by Mackie Research Capital Corporation (the “Lead Agent”), the lead agent and sole book runner, with a syndicate consisting of Haywood Securities Inc., PI Financial Corp., and Foundation Markets Inc. (together with the Lead Agent, the “Agents”). The Offering is being conducted on an agency basis for the issuance of up to 33,000,000 subscription receipts of Aura (each, a “Subscription Receipt” and collectively, the “Subscription Receipts”) at a price of $0.22 per Subscription Receipt (the “Issue Price”) for gross proceeds of up to $7,260,000 (subject to the Agent’s Option described below). The Offering is being completed in connection with the proposed acquisition of an 80% equity interest in Pharmadrug Production GmbH (the “Acquisition”), previously announced in a press release dated January 25, 2019. As part of the First Tranche Closing, the Company issued 8,726,954  Subscription Receipts at the Issue Price for gross proceeds of $1,919,929.88.

As previously announced, Pharmadrug is a cash flow positive German pharmaceutical distribution company with over 20 years of operating history and a Schedule I European Union narcotics licence that allows it to distribute medical cannabis to pharmacies in Germany and throughout the Eurozone as markets  become  legalized. Pharmadrug currently has supply agreements with Bedrocan International B.V. and with a Canadian Licensed Producer, and is expecting its first cannabis shipment shortly.

A total of $1.6 million from the First Tranche Closing will be used by the Company for payments associated with the Acquisition, which amount will be reimbursed in full by the Company to the purchasers of the Subscription Receipts in the event the Conditions are not satisfied. The balance of the proceeds will be placed in escrow with Capital Transfer Agency, ULC (the “Escrow Agent”) on behalf of the purchasers of the Subscription Receipts and will be released to Aura upon satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions (the “Conditions”), which will include the completion of the Acquisition on or before 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on March 29, 2019 or such later date as the Lead Agent may consent to in writing (the “Termination Time”). Should the Conditions not be satisfied prior to the Termination Time, the Subscription Receipts will be cancelled and all proceeds from the Offering will be returned to the subscribers.

Each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to receive, without any further action on the part of the holder or payment of any additional consideration, upon satisfaction of the Conditions prior to the Termination Time, one unit of Aura (each, a “Unit”) consisting of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”), with each Warrant exercisable at a price of $0.28, into one Common Share for a period of 24 months from the date of satisfaction of the Conditions.

The Lead Agent will have an option (the “Agent’s Option”) to offer for sale up to an additional 15% of the number of Subscription Receipts sold in the Offering at the Issue Price, which Agent’s Option is exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time up to 48 hours prior to the last closing of the Offering.

In connection with the Offering, the Agents will be paid a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the Offering (including, pursuant to any exercise of the Agent’s Option) (the “Cash Fee”), which at the option of the Agents, may be paid by way of issuance of Common Shares at the Issue Price. Upon closing, the Agents will also receive compensation options (each, a “Compensation Option”) in a number equal to 7% of the number of Subscription Receipts sold under the Offering (including, pursuant to any exercise of the Agent’s Option), with each Compensation Option being exercisable to purchase Subscription Receipts, or Common Shares and Warrants (if the Subscription Receipts have converted into Units as of the time of exercise of the Compensation Options), at the Issue Price for a period of 24 months from the date of closing of the Offering.
