("Pond") (TSX.V:POND)(OTCQB:PNDHF)(FSE:400), an ESG company addressing global sustainability challenges of wellness and climate change, is pleased to announce it has engaged Corton Capital Inc. ("Corton") in respect of a private placement (the "Private Placement") of up to an aggregate of $5,250,000 in principal amount of convertible debentures of Pond (the "Convertible Debentures").

The Convertible Debentures bear interest at 12% per annum, are convertible into common shares of Pond ("Common Shares") at the option of the holders thereof at any time after 30 trading days from the date of placement, at a conversion price of $0.20 per share (the "Conversion Price"), and mature three (3) years from the date of issuance. In the event that, following closing, the daily volume weighted average trading price (or closing bid price on days when there are no trades) of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") exceeds $0.40 per Common Share for 20 consecutive trading days (the "Triggering Event"), the Convertible Debentures (including the interest accrued thereon) shall be automatically converted into Common Shares on the effective date of the Triggering Event at the Conversion Price.

The Convertible Debentures will be senior unsecured obligations of Pond and will rank senior to any other existing and future subordinated unsecured indebtedness of Pond. The Private Placement is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the TSXV, and is anticipated to close on or about June 30, 2023. The Convertible Debentures, and any Common Shares issued upon conversion, will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring four (4) months and a day from the date of issuance of the Convertible Debentures.

可轉換債券將是Pond的優先無抵押債務,將優先於Pond的任何其他現有和未來的次級無抵押債務。私募受慣例成交條件的約束,包括多倫多證券交易所的批准,預計將於2023年6月30日左右結束。可轉換債券以及轉換時發行的任何普通股的法定持有期將從可轉換債券發行之日起四 (4) 個月零一天到期。

The net proceeds of the Private Placement are expected to be used by Pond for the repayment of debt and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

預計私募的淨收益將由龐德用於償還債務以及營運資金和一般公司用途。

In connection with closing of the Private Placement, Pond has agreed, subject to certain exceptions, to pay Corton a fee equal to up to 6% of the gross proceeds raised under the Private Placement and to issue to Corton that number of Common Share purchase warrants of Pond that is equal to up to 6% of the gross proceeds raised under the Private Placement, each such warrant having an exercise price of $0.20 per share and expiring three (3) years from the date of issuance.

關於私募收購,除某些例外情況外,龐德已同意向Corton支付一筆不超過私募籌集總收益6%的費用,並向Corton發行相當於私募籌集總收益的6%的Pond普通股購買權證,每份此類認股權證的行使價爲每股0.20美元,自發行之日起三(3)年內到期。

In addition to the Private Placement, and further to the prior release dated March 25, 2021, Pond announces that it has entered into an agreement with Grant Thornton Limited, in its capacity as court-appointed receiver and manager of Crystal Wealth Management System Limited, to further amend certain terms relating to Pond's obligations under its existing loan arrangements with Grant Thornton.

除私募外,繼2021年3月25日的先前新聞稿之後,龐德宣佈已以法院任命的接管人和Crystal Wealth Management System Limited的身份與Grant Thornton Limited達成協議,進一步修改與龐德在與格蘭特·桑頓的現有貸款安排下的義務有關的某些條款。

The agreement provides for, among other things, the postponement of all interest and principal payments until the earlier of September 30, 2023, and the date of closing at least $3 million under the Private Placement.

除其他外,該協議規定將所有利息和本金的支付推遲到2023年9月30日較早的日期,以及私募下至少300萬美元的完成日期。

Thomas Masney, Pond CFO, commented, "Pond is very pleased with the amendments as it will assist in stabilizing our debt servicing expenses during the current expansion phase of its business plan. By taking these careful measures, we may greatly increase our financial runway, lower our short-term debt obligations, and increase the flexibility of our balance sheet. We look forward to keeping our shareholders updated as appropriate."

龐德首席財務官托馬斯·馬斯尼評論說:“龐德對修正案感到非常滿意,因爲它將有助於穩定我們在當前業務計劃擴張階段的償債支出。通過採取這些謹慎的措施,我們可以大大增加我們的財務狀況,減少我們的短期債務並增加資產負債表的靈活性。我們期待酌情向股東通報最新情況。”

Although Pond believes that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward‐looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed thereon and Pond can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct. By their nature, such forward‐looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, which could cause the actual results and expectations to differ materially from the anticipated results or expectations expressed, including the risks set forth in Pond's management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for its year ended December 31, 2022, and for the interim period ended March 31, 2023, available on Pond's profile on the SEDAR website at .
