Creso Pharma (CPH) has received firm commitments to raise $5 million through a placement to progress its US expansion.
The company will issue about 72.4 million new shares at a price of 6.9 cents each.
This issue price represents a 10.4 per cent discount to the last closing price.
Participants of the placement will also receive one attaching option for every share, which will be exercisable at 14 cents each and expire after 18 months.
The funds will be used to help the company grow its US footprint following the acquisition of Sierra Sage Herbs and Green Goo brand.
It will also be used for general working capital, product development initiatives, and other opportunities.
Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director William Lay said he is pleased with the support shown in the placement.
“These funds will provide us with additional financial flexibility to advance our US-focused growth trajectory, progress a number of new product development initiatives and explore new opportunities to unlock shareholder value,” he said.
“The company remains very well positioned to capitalise on the global market for recreational cannabis, CBD products and psychedelic treatments.
“We have a number of growth initiatives underway and look forward to providing additional updates as these materialise.”
Shares were trading 9.09 per cent lower today at 7 cents each at 12:16 pm AEDT.
