VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nabis Holdings Inc. (CSE: NAB) (OTC: NABIF) (FRA: A2PL) (“Nabis” or the “Company”) announces that Nabis AZ, LLC (“Nabis AZ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, failed to fund its deferred payment obligation in respect of an asset purchase agreement for the assets and management agreements related to the operation and management of Perpetual Healthcare Inc. (“Perpetual”), the operator of the Emerald medical marijuana retail dispensary located in Arizona. Nabis AZ was required to make payment to the vendors under such asset purchase agreement of approximately USD $8.1 million, including accrued interest, which was due on October 25, 2020 (the “Deferred Obligation”). The Company’s efforts to secure alternative financing to fulfill the Deferred Obligation have been unsuccessful to date.
Nabis AZ has received formal written notice of its default on the Deferred Obligation. Following the lapse of a 10 business day cure period ending November 10, 2020, in addition to the acceleration of the approximately USD $8.1 million owing, the terms of the Deferred Obligation contemplate that (i) a specified representative of the vendor will be appointed to the board of directors of Perpetual, and (ii) an amended and restated operating agreement in respect of Nabis AZ will become effective, providing certain specified representatives of the vendor with an aggregate 75% membership interest in Nabis AZ with certain limited governance rights, whereby such persons will be entitled to a monthly pro rata preferred distribution in respect of their 75% aggregate membership interest until the Deferred Obligation is satisfied.
The Company will provide further updates in respect of the foregoing matters as they progress.
