Aurora Cannabis Receives Lenders' Consent
for Proposed Acquisition of ICC
Milestone towards Completing
Transaction to Establish Leadership in South American Market
EDMONTON and VANCOUVER, Nov. 1, 2018 /CNW/
- Aurora Cannabis Inc. (Aurora) (NYSE: ACB) (TSX: ACB) (Frankfurt: 21P; WKN: A1C4WM) and ICC Labs Inc. (ICC) (TSX-V:
ICC) are pleased to announce that Aurora has received, from its consortium of lenders led by Bank of Montreal (collectively, the
Lenders), consent and approval as required under its credit agreement with the Lenders to the previously announced plan
of arrangement (the Arrangement) between ICC and Aurora. Subject to the terms and conditions of the arrangement agreement
dated September 8, 2018 (the Arrangement Agreement), Aurora will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares
(ICC Shares) of ICC. Obtaining such consent and approval is one of the conditions to completing the Arrangement.
The Arrangement, once approved, will create
a strong foundation for expansion, and will leverage ICC's first-mover advantage in South America, bringing significant low-cost
production capacity, a well-diversified product portfolio, and extensive distribution channels throughout South America and internationally.
Led by CEO Alejandro Antalich, a widely-recognized
leader in the South American cannabis market with over 25 years of experience in the pharmaceutical sector, the acquisition of
ICC will establish Aurora as the industry leader in South America, a continent with over 420 million people. ICC is based
in Uruguay, the first country in the world to legalize cannabis for adult consumer use. In addition, ICC holds licenses in
Colombia for the production of medical cannabis.
Special Meeting of ICC Shareholders
A special meeting (the Meeting) of holders
of ICC Shares (ICC Shareholders) will be held on Tuesday November 6, 2018 at 9:00 a.m. (Toronto time) at Norton Rose Fulbright
Canada LLP, located at Royal Bank Plaza, South Tower, Suite 3800, 200 Bay Street, Toronto. At the Meeting, ICC Shareholders will
be asked to consider and vote on a special resolution (the Arrangement Resolution) approving the Arrangement.
Full details of the Arrangement and certain
other matters are set out in the management information circular of ICC dated October 3, 2018 (as updated by the news release of
ICC dated October 15, 2018) (the Circular). A copy of the Circular and other meeting materials can be found under ICC's
profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
ICC Board Recommendation
ICC's board of directors has unanimously
approved the Arrangement and recommends that ICC Shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution.
Timing and Conditions
Assuming approval of the Arrangement at the
Meeting, ICC will, on or about November 8, 2018, return to the Supreme Court of British Columbia to seek a final order to implement
the Arrangement. The closing of the Arrangement remains subject to receipt of certain other approvals (including certain Uruguayan
regulatory approvals) and the satisfaction or waiver of certain other customary closing conditions. Approval by shareholders of
Aurora is not required. Assuming all conditions are satisfied, ICC and Aurora expect that the closing of the Arrangement will be
completed in the fourth quarter of 2018.
