"Following our recently announced commercial contracts and the market opportunities with additional cannabis 2.0 manufacturers coming on line, we felt this was the right time to provide our company with additional growth working capital to pursue these accretive opportunities," Nextleaf CFO Charles Ackerman said in a statement.

"We have received strong interest for this non-brokered private placement from loyal OILS shareholders and new strategic investors. As we move towards Canada's 2020 outdoor-grown cannabis harvest, our goal is to have our cannabis oil refinery at 100% utilization," he added.

Nextleaf added that if the shares trade above $0.70 per share for 10 consecutive trading days, then the expiry date of the warrants will be automatically accelerated to the date that is 30 days after the date the company provides notice to the holders of the warrants.
