TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Slate Office REIT (TSX: SOT.UN) (the “REIT”), an owner and operator of high-quality workplace real estate, is pleased to provide an update to its previous announcement in connection with the proposed amendments to the terms of its 5.25% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures, due February 28, 2023 (the “Debentures”) to: (i) increase the interest rate from 5.25% to 9.00%, effective February 28, 2023, (ii) decrease the conversion price from $10.53 per REIT unit to $5.50 per REIT unit, (iii) extend the maturity date from February 28, 2023 to February 28, 2026, and (iv) provide that the Debentures are not redeemable prior to February 28, 2025 and, at any time after February 28, 2025, the REIT shall be permitted to redeem the amended Debentures, in whole or in part at a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of the redemption (collectively, the “Amendments”).

“As we remain focused on positioning the REIT’s portfolio for long-term stability, the REIT’s management team, together with the Board of Trustees, believe the implementation of these Amendments will prove prudent and beneficial to both the REIT and the Debentureholders,” said Steve Hodgson, Chief Executive Officer of Slate Office REIT. “We continue to navigate a volatile and uncertain operating environment, and these Amendments will provide the REIT with attractive financing terms while, importantly, enabling the REIT to preserve liquidity and optionality for the REIT’s future needs in the face of rising rates and persistent macroeconomic challenges. For the Debentureholders, the Amendments will offer existing Debentureholders a series of material enhancements to the existing terms.”

As previously announced, the REIT is separately but concurrently soliciting consents and proxies from the holders of the Debentures (the “Debentureholders”) to pass an extraordinary resolution to approve the Amendments (the “Extraordinary Resolution”). If Debentureholders representing not less than 66 2/3% of the principal amount of the Debentures have delivered valid consents and proxies consenting TO / voting FOR the approval of the Extraordinary Resolution by January 25, 2023 (the “Consent Solicitation”), the Extraordinary Resolution will be passed. If the Consent Solicitation condition is not met, the REIT will hold a meeting of the Debentureholders (the “Meeting”) on January 27, 2023 to seek approval of the Extraordinary Resolution. However, if the Extraordinary Resolution is approved through the Consent Solicitation, the Meeting will be cancelled, as it will no longer be necessary to effect the Amendments.

Today, the REIT filed a consent and proxy solicitation statement, and related materials (collectively, the “Solicitation Materials”) on SEDAR. The Solicitation Materials are available under the REIT’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Additionally, the REIT will distribute Solicitation Materials to all the Debentureholders.

The Solicitation Materials outline important information for Debentureholders, including the following:

• CDS Clearing and Depositary Services Inc. (“CDS”) is the only registered holder of the Debentures, and all other holders of the Debentures are beneficial holders who hold the Debentures through an intermediary which is a participant of CDS (each a “CDS Participant”). Accordingly, beneficial Debentureholders must provide consent and voting instructions to their CDS Participant.

• The deadline for CDS Participants to submit consent and proxy instructions to the CDSX system for beneficial Debentureholders to be entitled to receive the Consent Fee (described below) is 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on January 20, 2023. However, notwithstanding this deadline, beneficial Debentureholders should be aware that most CDS Participants have an internal deadline for receiving instructions that is earlier than this deadline.

• Each Debentureholder as of the record date of December 21, 2022, who provides both a valid consent and proxy in favour of the Extraordinary Resolution before the deadlines described above, may be eligible to receive a fee (the “Consent Fee”). The Consent Fee will be payment of $5.00 for each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures.

• The deadline for CDS Participants to submit consent and proxy instructions to the CDSX System (without entitlement to the Consent Fee) is 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on January 25, 2023. However, notwithstanding this deadline, beneficial Debentureholders should be aware that most CDS Participants have an internal deadline for receiving instructions that is earlier than this deadline.

Kingsdale Advisors is acting as the Information, Solicitation and Tabulation Agent for the Consent Solicitation and the Meeting. Debentureholders may contact Kingsdale Advisors regarding: (i) questions concerning the terms of the Consent Solicitation and the Meeting, (ii) assistance with Solicitation Materials, (iii) requests of additional copies of the Solicitation Materials or (iv) assistance with proxy appointments for the meeting at: 1-800-775-1986 or by email at corpaction@kingsdaleadvisors.com.

From becoming the top revenue-generating cannabis company in Canada to being recognized as one of Canada’s “Top Growing Companies” for the second year in a row by the Globe and Mail, to the growth of its unique Cabana Club loyalty program to over 900,000 members, to entering a new lucrative vertical in the United States with the launch of cannabis seed sales, the Company continuously demonstrated that it is committed to the further diversification of its ecosystem while remaining a leader in bringing innovation to the cannabis retail landscape.

High Tide’s 2022 Highlights:

• Total revenue for the nine months ended July 31, 2022, increased to CAD$248.6 million from CAD$127.3 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2021. Concurrent with the release of the Company’s fiscal third quarter results, it disclosed that annualizing the revenue generated in the month of August 2022 results in a current revenue run rate exceeding CAD$400 Million.  High Tide has become the top revenue-generating¹ cannabis company in Canada, according to New Cannabis Ventures².
• Generated same-store sales increases of 46% during the three months ended July 31, 2022, compared to the same quarter in the prior year and 18% compared to the prior quarter.
• Delivered rapid growth in its unique Cabana Club loyalty program, which is the largest bricks-and-mortar cannabis loyalty program in Canada with over 900,000 members.
• Launched Cabana Elite, the first-of-its-kind cannabis paid membership loyalty program in Canada.
• Entered the British Columbia market, with six stores operating at the end of 2022.  The Company also anticipates the organic opening of its location in Kamloops, BC, imminently.

• Increased its total employment footprint from just over 900 to over 1,400 during 2022 in order to manage growth.

COMPANY TO OPEN NEW STORE IN ETOBICOKE, ONTARIO

The Company also announced today that its Canna Cabana retail cannabis store located at 170 Queen Street North, Etobicoke, Ontario, will begin selling recreational cannabis products and consumption accessories for adult use tomorrow, December 31, 2022. This first Etobicoke store is Canna Cabana’s 150th in Canada and the 49th in Ontario. Anchored by two major discount retailers, this store is located within a major commercial plaza in the inner Toronto suburb of Etobicoke, containing a national arts and crafts retail chain. It is also a short drive away from Sherway Gardens, a large mall in the Greater Toronto Area that brings in customers from surrounding municipalities, like Mississauga, Canada’s seventh largest city, which do not permit bricks-and-mortar cannabis sales within their boundaries.

“Once again, I would like to thank our loyal customers, team members and our shareholders for their ongoing support as we delivered yet another landmark year for High Tide, despite geopolitical, supply chain and economic challenges worldwide. With their support, we were able to execute our business plan, which saw us emerge as the top revenue-generating cannabis company in Canada. Our rapid revenue growth and positive adjusted EBITDA continue to expand as we leveraged the strengths of our diversified cannabis ecosystem and experienced strong growth in our Cabana Club loyalty program, which now sits at over 900,000 members. I am optimistic that this continued growth in both revenue and customer loyalty will be recognized by the capital markets as macro-level global challenges outside of our control ease through 2023,” said Raj Grover, President and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide.

“Despite most cannabis companies facing fierce challenges across the cannabis value chain, we have continued on our forward trajectory, delivering on our goals which included opening 150 locations in 2022 through laser-focused execution. The results we’ve yielded in Canada over the last couple of years give me confidence that our team will continue to execute and deliver in large and exciting markets like the United States and Germany as relevant laws and regulations materialize. I have said it before and want to re-iterate now that our ambition is to become a top-five MSO with significant retail operations beyond North America. We continue to strengthen our business with every passing year and look forward to delivering yet another year of solid growth and significant market share gains heading into 2023,” added Mr. Grover.

CALGARY, Alberta–(BUSINESS WIRE)–High Tide Inc. (“High Tide” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: HITI) (TSXV: HITI) (FSE: 2LYA), a leading retail-focused cannabis company with bricks-and-mortar as well as global e-commerce assets, announced today that further to its press release dated September 29, 2022, the Company has completed its acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of 100% of the equity interest of 1171882 B.C. Ltd., operating as Jimmy’s Cannabis Shop BC (“Jimmy’s”), resulting in High Tide’s acquisition of two retail cannabis stores currently operated by Jimmy’s in British Columbia (the “Stores”) for $5.3 Million (the “Transaction”). The Stores are located at 1225 Cranbrook Street North, Cranbrook and 1543 Victoria Street, Prince George.

The Cranbrook store is located near the base camp of the Kootenay Rockies and is within a short drive of award-winning golf courses and nature trails. It is also situated within a commercial complex that includes a prominent local grocery store as well as a multinational hotel chain. The Prince George store is situated within the largest city in northern British Columbia, which is also close to the crossroads of provincial highways 16 and 97. The store itself is located within a commercial plaza including a national pharmacy chain and a major discount clothing retailer.

The closing of the Transaction brings High Tide’s nationwide store count to 149, including six in British Columbia. The Company also anticipates the organic opening of its location in Kamloops, BC, imminently. 

For the trailing four months ended May 31, 2022, the Stores generated annualized revenue of $5.4 Million and annualized Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $1.0 Million. The purchase price represents 5.25x annualized Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four months ended May 31, 2022.

TRANSACTION DETAILS

The Acquisition was completed pursuant to the terms of a share purchase agreement, dated September 28, 2022 (the “Acquisition Agreement”). High Tide acquired 100% of Jimmy’s for 2,595,533 common shares of High Tide (each, a “High Tide Share”) valued at $5.3 Million (the “Share Consideration”), on the basis of a deemed price of C$2.0365 per High Tide Share. The purchase price is subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment provision, to address any increase or decrease of working capital, inventory or cash estimated as of the closing date. The closing of the Transaction remains subject to final approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”). Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, 70% of the High Tide Shares issued are subject to a four month hold.

ABOUT JIMMY’S

Jimmy’s strives to find a balance between being a boutique and a neighbourhood store using a heritage theme that is both reflective of the individual communities in which it does business and chronicling Jimmy’s cultural relationship with cannabis over the past 100 years. At Jimmy’s, we love to have fun, but we also have the knowledge, background, and training to ensure clients can purchase responsibly.

Global freight forwarder recommits to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2035

ITASCA, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Supply chain solutions leader AIT Worldwide Logistics reaffirmed its commitment to protecting the environment as a signatory of The Climate Pledge. Co-founded by Amazon and Global Optimism, The Climate Pledge is a commitment signed by nearly 400 companies across 34 countries to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040—a decade ahead of the Paris Agreement’s goal of 2050. AIT aims to meet this goal even faster, by 2035.

“AIT is proud to reinforce our commitment to sustainability and join a community that will share knowledge, ideas, and best practices to combat climate change,” said AIT Executive Vice President and CIO, Ray Fennelly. “As a signatory of The Climate Pledge, we look forward to taking collective action to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2035, five years ahead of the pledge’s 2040 target. This goal not only aligns with our core values but will also create a better planet for our teammates, customers, partners, and the communities where we live and work—for generations to come.”

As a signatory to The Climate Pledge, AIT agrees to measure and report greenhouse gas emissions on a regular basis, implement decarbonization strategies in line with the Paris Agreement through real business changes and innovations, including efficiency improvements, renewable energy, materials reductions, and other carbon emission elimination strategies. The company also agrees to neutralize any remaining emissions with additional, quantifiable, real, permanent, and socially beneficial offsets to achieve net-zero annual carbon emissions.

AIT developed its own environmental sustainability initiatives in alignment with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, with an aim to support sustainable consumption and production and to combat climate change and its impacts. To achieve these goals, AIT plans to reach net-zero carbon emissions status by 2035, through both emission reduction practices and carbon offset purchases.

Internally, AIT teammates also oversee emissions, waste, and energy management processes and programs, including a companywide commitment to recycling and paper reduction. Additionally, AIT uses its transportation management system to track and measure carbon dioxide emissions down to the shipment level.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Although management believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking information are reasonable, no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct, and since forward-looking information inherently involves risks and uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on such information.

Certain material factors or assumptions are applied in making forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. The estimates and assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect, include, but are not limited to, the various assumptions set forth in this document as well as the following:

1. the ability to continue to receive financing on acceptable terms;
2. the future level of indebtedness and the REIT’s future growth potential will remain consistent with current expectations;
3. the success of the asset recycling program;
4. there will be no changes to tax laws adversely affecting the REIT’s financing capability, operations, activities, structure, or distributions;
5. the REIT will retain and continue to attract qualified and knowledgeable personnel as the portfolio and business grow;
6. the impact of the current economic climate and the current global financial conditions on operations, including the REIT’s financing capability and asset value, will remain consistent with current expectations;
7. there will be no material changes to government and environmental regulations that could adversely affect operations;
8. conditions in the international and, in particular, the French, German, Spanish and other European real estate markets, including competition for acquisitions, will be consistent with past conditions;
9. capital markets will provide the REIT with readily available access to equity and/or debt financing; and
10. the impact the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical conflict in the Ukraine and Russia will have on the REIT’s operations, the demand for the REIT’s properties and global supply chains and economic activity in general.

The REIT cautions that this list of assumptions is not exhaustive. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based upon assumptions that management believes are reasonable based on information currently available to management, there can be no assurance that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements.

When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions, the REIT cautions readers not to place undue reliance on these statements, as forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not, or the times at or by which, such performance or results will be achieved. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ, possibly materially, from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to:

• the REIT’s ability to execute its growth and capital deployment strategies;
• the REIT’s ability to execute its asset recycling program;
• the impact of changing conditions in the European office market;
• the marketability and value of the REIT’s portfolio;
• changes in the attitudes, financial condition and demand in the REIT’s demographic markets;
• fluctuation in interest rates and volatility in financial markets;

• general economic conditions, including any continuation or intensification of the current economic downturn;
• developments and changes in applicable laws and regulations; and
• such other factors discussed under ‘‘Risk Factors and Uncertainties’’ in the REIT’s Annual Information Form.

If any risks or uncertainties with respect to the above materialize, or if the opinions, estimates or assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results or future events might vary materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of providing information about management’s current expectations and plans relating to the future. Certain statements included in this press release may be considered a ‘‘financial outlook’’ for purposes of applicable Canadian securities laws, and as such, the financial outlook may not be appropriate for purposes other than this press release.

Except as expressly required by applicable Canadian securities law, the REIT assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
