Cannasouth ‘CBD’ NZX Market Announcements


On 3 November 2023 Cannasouth launched a wholesale offer of secured convertible notes (“Notes”) to raise up to $5 million.

We have already secured subscription agreement for $1 million of Notes, that has been committed by three directors.

The Notes offer will provide working capital for Cannasouth until such time as revenue is generated from several of the Company’s products, recently verified.

The principal terms of the Notes are as follows:

  • 1) The Notes have a term of 24 months.
  • 2) The Noteholders may at their option (subject to paragraph 6 below) either:
    • redeem the Notes for cash at the expiry of the term of the Notes; or
    • convert all or some of the Notes into ordinary CBD shares at an issue price of 16.3 cents per share at anytime prior to the expiry of the term of the Notes.
  • 3) A drawdown fee equal to 3% of the face value of the Notes subscribed for, is payable to Noteholders.
  • 4) The Notes bear an interest rate of 15% per annum.  Interest is to be capitalised for the first 12-months of the term of the Notes, and thereafter is payable quarterly in arrears.
  • 5) The obligations of CBD under the Notes are secured by a General Security Agreement over CBD’s present and after acquired property to be granted in favour of all of the Noteholders.
  • 6) The exercise of the conversion rights referred to in paragraph 2 above are, in the case of Notes issued to Directors, conditional upon CBD’s shareholders approving the conversion rights for the Notes issued to Directors on or before 30 June 2024. Shareholder approval is optional if Directors’ investment represents less than 50% of the total number of Notes issued.
  • 7) In the event that shareholders do not approve the exercise of the conversion rights by Directors, then the interest rate applicable to Notes held by Directors shall increase by 3% per annum. – redeem the Notes for cash at the expiry of the term of the Notes; or convert all or some of the Notes into ordinary CBD shares at an issue price of 16.3 cents per share at anytime prior to the expiry of the term of the Notes.

Given the structure of the Notes offer, only wholesale and eligible investors (as defined by the Financial Markets Conduct Act) are entitled to participate in the Notes offer.

The Company is having discussions with other wholesale and eligible investors about participating in the Notes offer.

Wholesale and eligible investors wanting to participate in the Note offer should contact;

CFO, Colin Foster at colin.foster@cannasouth.co.nz or
