VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (CSE: CLC) Christina Lake Cannabis Corp. (the "Corporation or "Christina Lake") announces that, further to the press release issued on March 11, 2022, whereby the Corporation announced certain amendments to the terms of its class B preferred shares ("Preferred Shares"), the board of directors of the Corporation has now provided notice to the holders of Preferred Shares (the "Preferred Holders"), for a compulsory redemption of their Preferred Shares, which is intended to be completed on or about March 25, 2022, in accordance with the revised terms of the Preferred Shares (the "Redemption").

In connection with the Redemption, the Preferred Holders, which in aggregate hold 2,000,000 Preferred Shares, will be issued in aggregate: (i) a secured promissory note in the amount of $2,000,000 which will bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum and mature on October 31, 2024; and (ii) 10,000,000 common shares in the capital of the Corporation (each a "Common Share") at a deemed price of $0.20 per Common Share (collectively, the "Redemption Price"). Following the Redemption and Payment of the Redemption Price to the Preferred Holders, all of the outstanding Preferred Shares will be cancelled.

2260994 Alberta Ltd., the general partner of Excalibur Technologies L.P., is a company controlled by Mervin Boychuk, will ultimately receive an aggregate of 750,000 Common Shares in connection with the Redemption. Accordingly, the Redemption constituted to that extent a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") requiring the Corporation, in the absence of exemptions, to obtain a formal valuation and minority shareholder approval thereof. The Company has relied on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a), 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the participation in the Redemption by insiders does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at least 21 days before the closing of the Redemption, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances as the changes to the terms of the Preferred Shares were approved by Preferred Holders on March 11, 2022.
