VERNON, BC , Jan. 25, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Boustead Securities client True Leaf Medicine International Ltd. (“True Leaf” or the “Company”) (CSE: MJ) (FSE: TLA) (OTCQB: TRLFF) announced that it has raised $10 million (CAD) via a Regulation A+ offering. With the offering fully closed, True Leaf is the first Canadian-listed company to conduct a successful Regulation A+ offering.
True Leaf offered a total of 14,285,715 common shares at a price of C$0.70 per share, with a minimum subscription amount of C$350 (or 500 shares) per investor. The use of Regulation A+ allowed the Company to offer and sell its common shares to public retail investors as well as traditional accredited and institutional investors. Boustead Securities, LLC was the lead underwriter, and the True Leaf offering was listed on www.FlashFunders.com .
“Boustead is proud to have assisted True Leaf in becoming the first Canadian-listed issuer to conduct a Regulation A+ offering” said Boustead CEO Keith Moore.
True Leaf Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Darcy Bomford, stated, “We’ve always wanted to give the people who love our products, and share in our vision and values, the chance to own a piece of True Leaf” said Mr. Bomford. “Regulation A+ gave us this opportunity. We believe the proceeds from this offering should put us in an excellent position to execute our business plan.”
Risks of Investment in True Leaf
An investment in True Leaf has a high degree of risk including the lack of a listed market for its securities in the United States as well as other risks common to Regulation A+ investments such as a small equity market capitalization and public float, which may impair the liquidity of this investment. Moreover Canadian investors are unable to sell securities placed in the concurrent offering. The Company can make no assurances about the success of its products, or its licensing or marketing efforts; consequently investors in True Leaf may lose some or all of their investments. True Leaf does not have a license to produce cannabis. Cannabis, marijuana, and any products containing THC and CBD are illegal in the United States of America, notwithstanding laws of several states to the contrary. Further, transportation of such products across state lines or across national boundaries remains a Federal Offense in the United States of America, as well as the use of any federally chartered financial institution for transmittal or deposit of funds related to the sale of such products. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that True Leaf will receive a license to produce cannabis from Health Canada, and even if it were to receive such a license, there can be no assurance that it can import its products into the United States for market or sale, or to repatriate the proceeds of such sales for the benefit of investors in this offering.
