VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 10, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zenabis Global Inc (TSXV:ZENA) (“Zenabis” or the “Company”) announces that it has today filed a preliminary prospectus supplement (the “Supplement”) to its short form base shelf prospectus dated April 9, 2019 (the “Shelf Prospectus”) in connection with a fully-marketed, “best efforts” offering of its common shares (the “Offering”). The Supplement was filed with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada, except Québec.

The Company also expects to grant to the Agents a 30-day over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 15% of the number of common shares offered in the Offering. The Offering is expected to be priced in the context of the market, with the final terms of the Offering to be determined at the time of pricing. There can be no assurance as to whether or when the Offering may be completed, or as to the actual size or terms of the Offering. The closing of the Offering will be subject to customary closing conditions, including the listing of the common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Supplement and the Shelf Prospectus contain important detailed information about the Offering. A copy of the Supplement and the Shelf Prospectus can be found under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com .

About Zenabis

Zenabis is a significant licensed cannabis cultivator of medical and recreational cannabis, and employs staff coast-to-coast, across facilities in Atholville, New Brunswick; Delta and Langley, B.C.; and Stellarton, Nova Scotia. In addition to gaining technologically advanced knowledge of plant propagation, the recent addition of state-of-the-art greenhouses in Langley provides Zenabis with 3.5 million square feet of facility space that can, upon full conversion, be dedicated to cannabis production.

If all facility space is fully built out and dedicated to production, Zenabis will own, and have access to, 660,000 square feet of high quality indoor cannabis production space, as well as 2.1 million square feet of greenhouse space at its Langley facility (an additional 700,000 square feet of greenhouse space will be used to continue the existing propagation business, to be converted at such a time that is beneficial to the strategic position of the company), strategically positioned on Canada’s coasts. These facilities, if fully converted for cannabis production, would have the design capacity to yield approximately 479,700 kg of dried cannabis annually, for both national and international market distribution. The Zenabis brand name is used in the medical market, while Namaste is used in the adult-use recreational market.
