TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - May 04, 2017) - Golden Leaf Holdings Ltd. ("GLH" or the "Company") ( CSE : GLH ) ( OTCQB : GLDFF ), a leading cannabis oil solutions company built around recognized brands, is pleased to announce, further to its news release dated March 22, 2017, the pricing terms of its best efforts private placement offering (the "Offering") of subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts"). Canaccord Genuity Corp. ("Canaccord Genuity") is acting as the lead agent for a syndicate of agents including Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. and Mackie Research Capital Corporation (together with Canaccord Genuity, the "Agents"). AC Group Financial Inc. acted as an advisor to the Company on this transaction and the related four acquisitions previously announced in recent weeks.

Pursuant to the Offering, the Company will offer to sell, on a best efforts, private placement basis, up to 125,000,000 Subscription Receipts, at a price of $0.28 per Subscription Receipt, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $35 million. Upon satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions (as described below), each Subscription Receipt shall be automatically exchanged, without any further consideration or action by the holder of such Subscription Receipt, for 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"). Each Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company (each, a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.37 per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment in certain events, for a period of two years from the closing of the Offering.

The Company has granted the Agents an option (the "Agents' Option") to arrange for the sale of up to an additional 18,750,000 Subscription Receipts for additional gross proceeds to GLH of up to $5.25 million on the same terms and conditions as the Offering. The Agents' Option is exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time up to 24 hours prior to the closing of the Offering.

Proceeds from the Offering are anticipated to be used to satisfy the cash component of the purchase price for the acquisitions of Chalice LLC, a leading vertically integrated cannabis company in Oregon, JuJu Joints, Canadian based Medical Marihuana Group Corporation and a cultivation license and extraction license in Nevada from NevWa, LLC (the "Acquisitions").

Don Robinson, CEO of GLH, commented, "This financing will enable GLH to close on the four previously announced strategic acquisitions for which we have binding letters of agreement. Our strategy is to become a leading consolidator of high-value cannabis brands, and these four acquisitions will bring significant advantages to Golden Leaf, including a highly differentiated brand portfolio, broader product line, and larger footprint in Canada and the U.S. Following completion of the strategic acquisitions, the Company expects to commence integration of its new entities and consolidate operations to drive efficiencies and synergies."

The Subscription Receipts will be issued pursuant to a subscription receipt agreement (the "Subscription Receipt Agreement") to be entered into among the Company, Canaccord Genuity and a subscription receipt agent to be agreed upon. Pursuant to the Subscription Receipt Agreement, the gross proceeds from the Offering (less 50% of the Agents' cash commission and all of the Agents' expenses) (the "Escrowed Funds") will be held in escrow pending satisfaction of the escrow release conditions, including (i) the definitive agreement regarding the Acquisitions (the "Definitive Agreement") shall have been entered into on terms substantially similar to the terms of the binding letter of agreement entered into in connection with the Acquisitions or otherwise on terms acceptable to the Agents, acting reasonably; (ii) the completion or satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the completion of the Acquisitions shall have occurred; (iii) the Common Shares, including the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, being approved for listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange; (iv) the receipt of all necessary regulatory, shareholder and third-party approvals, if any, required in connection with the Acquisitions; and (v) the Company shall not be in breach or default of any of its covenants or obligations under the Subscription Receipt Agreement or the agency agreement to be entered into with the Agents in connection with the Offering (the "Escrow Release Conditions"). Upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions, the balance of the Agents' commission shall be released to the Agents and the remaining Escrowed Funds, together with any interest earned thereon, will be released to the Company.

If the Escrow Release Conditions have not been satisfied within 120 days following the closing of the Offering, the Subscription Receipts will be deemed to be cancelled and holders of Subscription Receipts will receive a cash amount equal to the offering price of the Subscription Receipts.

Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about May 23, 2017. The Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and stock exchange approvals.

The Subscription Receipts and any Common Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period in Canada of four months and one day following the closing of the Offering in accordance with applicable securities laws. Additional resale restriction may be applicable under the laws of other jurisdictions, if any.
