Settlement of Fees and Issue of Equity

 

 

London, 15 July 2024: Further to the Company's announcement dated 26 October 2023, Hellenic Dynamics Plc (LSE: HELD), a medical cannabis cultivator with a dedicated focus on producing tetrahydrocannabinol ("THC") dominant strains of medical cannabis flowers for the fast growing global medical cannabis markets, announces that RiverFort Global Opportunities PCC Ltd ("Riverfort") has elected to subscribe for ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in Hellenic Dynamics ("Ordinary Shares") in order to discharge part of an outstanding loan and accrued interest, which was issued pursuant to the mezzanine loan announced 26 October 2023, and to settle a legal fee.

 

The loan and accrued interest of £39,600 will be settled via the issue of 4,000,000 new Ordinary Shares, based on the terms of the agreement between Hellenic and Riverfort and the legal fee of £3,600 will be settled via the issue of 363,636 new Ordinary Shares on the same terms (together the "New Ordinary Shares"). Noting the announcement made on 16 May 2024, any further payments due to RiverFort, pursuant to the amended mezzanine loan agreement, will be deferred until the earlier of 30 September 2024, or receipt of the long term loan announced on 22 April 2024, now expected to be received in July 2024.

Applications have been made to the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") and the London Stock Exchange Group Plc ("LSE") for the admission to the Official List of the FCA and to trading on the Main Market of the LSE respectively, of the 4,363,636 New Ordinary Shares in respect of the settlement. It is expected that the New Ordinary Shares will be admitted to trading and dealings will commence on the LSE on or around 16 July 2024 ("Admission").

About Hellenic Dynamics plc

 
Founded in 2019, Hellenic Dynamics is specifically focused on the cultivation and supply of THC ("tetrahy-drocannabinol") - dominant strains of medical cannabis flowers, destined for the growing global medical can-nabis markets. Hellenic Dynamics' core strategy is to develop and operate its 40,000 square metre active culti-vation licence from its 195,506 square metre facility located near Thessaloniki in Northern Greece. In full production, Hellenic Dynamics is capable of producing over 54,000 kg of dried flowers per annum.

 

Hellenic Dynamics will take advantage of its relatively low cost base resulting from a comparatively low cost of power, having its own running water supply and the labour rates for skilled and semi-skilled labour in Northern Greece.

 

29 European countries now allow medical cannabis via prescription and the European cannabis market is ex-pected to reach $7.25 billion per annum by 2029. Sales of Hellenic Dynamics' dried THC-dominant cannabis flowers and extracts are initially intended for export into Europe, in addition to other international markets and domestically in Greece.

 

As the first medical cannabis cultivator to obtain a listing on the main market for listed securities of the Lon-don Stock Exchange, Hellenic Dynamics is significantly different to the number of CBD (Cannabidiol) related companies that have appeared over the recent years. Hellenic Dynamics cultivates THC-dominant medical cannabis flowers. THC-dominant medical cannabis products are only available via a medical prescription. Medicinal cannabis has been approved for use both in the United Kingdom and Germany, plus 24 other Euro-pean countries, for conditions including but not limited to chronic pain, intractable chemotherapy-related nau-sea, anxiety, insomnia, Tourette's syndrome, substance use disorder, multiple sclerosis, IBS, spinal cord treat-ment, lack of appetite due to HIV/AIDS, cachexia, anorexia and glaucoma.
