PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
(to the Prospectus dated January 21, 2021)
US$100,000,000
100,000,000 Series A Units
33,333,334 Series B Units
We are offering on a “best-efforts” basis 100,000,000 Series A units (the “Series A Units”), with each Series A Unit consisting of (i) one common share and (ii) one half of one warrant to purchase one common share, with each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share (the “Series A Warrants”).
We are also offering to those purchasers whose purchase of Series A Units in this offering would result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 9.99% of our outstanding common shares following the consummation of this offering, in lieu of Series A Units that would otherwise result in ownership in excess of 9.99% of our outstanding common shares, 33,333,334 Series B units (the “Series B Units,” and together with the “Series A Units”, the “Units”), with each Series B Unit consisting of (i) one pre-funded Series B Warrant to purchase one common share (the “Series B Warrant,” and together with the Series A Warrant, the “Warrants”) and (ii) one half of one Series A Warrant, with each whole Series A Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share.
Each whole Series A Warrant offered in this offering is exercisable to purchase one common share, subject to adjustment as provided herein, and only whole warrants are exercisable. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade.
Each Unit will be sold at a price of US$0.75 per Unit. The Units will not be issued or certificated. The common shares, the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants will all be immediately separable and issued separately, but will be purchased together in this offering. This prospectus supplement also relates to the offering of the common shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (each a “Warrant Share”).
The Warrants will be exercisable at any time on or after the issuance date until the five-year anniversary of the issuance date. Each Series A Warrant will be exercisable at a price of US$0.80 per common share, subject to adjustment. Each Series B Warrant will have an aggregate exercise price of US$0.75 per common share, all of which will be pre-funded except for a nominal exercise price of US$0.0001 per common share.
For a more detailed description of our common shares, the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants, see “Description of the Securities We are Offering”.
As of the date of this prospectus supplement, our common shares are listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), under the symbol “SNDL”. On January 28, 2021, the closing sale price of our common shares as reported by Nasdaq was US$0.8250. On May 12, 2020, the Company was notified by the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq that the closing bid price of the Company’s common shares for the last 30 consecutive business days from March 30, 2020 to May 11, 2020 did not meet the minimum bid price of US$1.00 per share as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) required for continued listing on Nasdaq (the “minimum bid requirement”). At that time, the Company had until December 28, 2020 to regain compliance with the minimum bid requirement. Effective December 21, 2020, the Company transferred its listing from the Nasdaq Global Select Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market, so as to take advantage of an additional period of 180 days during which to achieve compliance, provided that the Company otherwise meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market other than the minimum bid requirement, and provides written notice to Nasdaq of the Company’s intention to remedy the non-compliance during this second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. Nasdaq granted the Company the foregoing extension on December 29, 2020. The extension allows the Company to regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid requirement if for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days before June 28, 2021 the bid price for the Company’s common shares closes at or above US$1.00 per share. In addition, our shareholders have granted approval to our board of directors to, in its discretion, implement a reverse share split of our common shares (the “reverse split”) if then necessary to attempt to comply with the minimum bid requirement. The Company actively monitors its closing bid price and has given written assurance to Nasdaq that it will, if necessary, implement available options to regain compliance with the minimum bid requirement, including a reverse stock split.
There is no public trading market for the Warrants, we do not expect a market to develop, and purchasers may not be able to resell the Warrants purchased under this prospectus supplement. In addition, we do not intend to apply for a listing of the Warrants on Nasdaq, any other national securities exchange, or any nationally recognized trading system. This may affect the pricing of the Warrants in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, and the liquidity of the Warrants.
We are an “emerging growth company” and a “foreign private issuer” under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus supplement and future filings.
