VANCOUVER, British Columbia , May 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Agra Ventures Ltd. (“AGRA” or the “Company”) (CSE: AGRA) (OTCPK: AGFAF), a company with diversified assets focused on the cannabis industry, announces that it has entered into an agreement with holders of the Company’s 10.00% Senior Unsecured Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”) to amend the Debentures to extend the maturity date for an additional twelve months from March 12, 2023 to March 12, 2024. Subsequent to AGRA’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the holders of the Debentures granted the Company forbearance on the maturity of the Debentures until May 31, 2023.

The Company has satisfied the aggregate accrued interest on the Debentures that was due on March 12, 2023 by the issuance of 24,000,000 common shares in the capital of the Company on a pro rata basis to the holders of the Debentures. As a result, the total number of common shares issued and outstanding as of the date of this news release is 159,938,571. On April 5, 2022, the Company announced an agreement to amend the Debentures to extend the maturity date for an additional twelve months from March 12, 2022 to March 12, 2023.

The Company also announces that, as a condition of the agreement to extend the maturity date of the Debentures and pursuant to a director’s resolution, it will be consolidating all of its issued and outstanding share capital on the basis of twenty-five (25) pre‐consolidation common shares of the Company for one (1) post‐consolidation share of the Company (the “Consolidation”). No fractional shares will be issued by the Company under the Consolidation and any fraction will be rounded to the nearest whole number. The Consolidation is expected to be effective within 30 days of this announcement.

As a result of the Consolidation, the number of issued and outstanding common shares of the Company is expected to change to approximately 6,397,542.
