LEEF Brands Completes 10-for-1 Share Consolidation
Cannabis company LEEF Brands, Inc. (OTCQB: LEEEF) has recently completed a significant alteration to its share structure by implementing a 10-for-1 share consolidation of its common shares. This strategic move is now active, and shareholders can observe the common shares trading on both the Canadian Securities Exchange and the OTCQB under the new consolidated terms.
Temporary Ticker Symbol Change
As part of the consolidation process, LEEF Brands’ ticker symbol on the OTCQB has been temporarily modified to LEEED. This change is intended to reflect the new share configuration and will remain for a period of 21 days following the date of the consolidation. After this duration, the ticker will revert to LEEEF. The company acknowledges any potential inconveniences arising from this change and sincerely appreciates the support and understanding of its shareholders during this transition.
Shareholder Instructions for Documentation
In light of recent developments, particularly the potential delays caused by logistical challenges, shareholders are encouraged to submit their letter of transmittal and share certificates directly to Olympia Trust Company, the designated transfer agent for LEEF Brands. Hand delivery is recommended to ensure prompt processing. Once Canada Post resumes routine operations, the company will mail necessary documentation to any remaining registered shareholders to aid in the exchange process.
Details of Private Placement Funding
Alongside the consolidation efforts, LEEF Brands has announced plans for a private placement aiming to secure gross proceeds of up to CA$2.5 million. This initiative includes the issuance of approximately 10 million units, with each unit offered at a price of $0.25 (post-consolidation). Each unit comprises one common share as well as a common share purchase warrant, representing a strategic approach to bolster the company's capital.
