In addition, the Compensation Options will also be exchanged for equivalent instruments of the Resulting Issuer exercisable for Resulting Issuer Shares.
The net proceeds raised from the Private Placement will be used by Fire & Flower for capital expenditures, working capital and general corporate purposes.
