CALGARY, Alberta, Jan. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sugarbud Craft Growers Corp. (TSXV: SUGR, SUGR.DB, SUGR.WR, SUGR.WS, SUGR.WT) (OTCQB: SBUDF) (“Sugarbud” or the “Company”) announces that it has mailed a management information circular (the “Circular“) to holders (“Shareholders“) of its common shares (“Shares“) in connection with an annual general and special meeting (the “Meeting“) of Shareholders to be held by means of a remote communication via webcast on Tuesday, February 8^th, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. (MST) at:

Meeting Link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85374306178?pwd=cWpIUmFGNFF6bENyQThxbWJlUUZUUT09

Meeting ID: 853 7430 6178
Meeting Passcode: 310110

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider for approval, among other things, a resolution authorizing a consolidation of the Shares on the basis of a ratio of between 50 and 100 pre-consolidation Shares for each one post-consolidation Share (the “Consolidation“).

Consolidation

The Company wishes to reduce the outstanding share amount to a level more in keeping with its industry peers. The Company believes the Consolidation will promote increased liquidity and reduced volatility in the trading of the Shares. The exact Consolidation ratio will be determined by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board“) when the Board considers it to be in the best interests of the Corporation to implement such a Consolidation. Notwithstanding approvals being received, the Board may determine not to proceed with the Consolidation, at its discretion.

The Company currently has 569,979,606 issued and outstanding Shares. In the event that the Consolidation is completed, for example, on a 100 for one basis, the Company would have approximately 5,699,796 Shares outstanding following the Consolidation. In addition, the exercise price and number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding convertible securities, including purchase warrants, will be proportionally adjusted upon the implementation of the Consolidation.

Letters of transmittal will be mailed to registered Shareholders and registered Shareholders will be required to deposit their share certificate(s), together with the duly completed letter of transmittal, with Odyssey Trust Company, the Company’s registrar and transfer agent. Non-registered Shareholders holding Shares through an intermediary (a securities broker, dealer, bank or financial institution) should be aware that the intermediary may have different procedures for processing the Consolidation than those that will be put in place by the Company for registered Shareholders. If Shareholders hold their Shares through an intermediary and they have questions in this regard, they are encouraged to contact their intermediaries.

For more information on the Consolidation and other matters addressed at the Meeting, Shareholders are encouraged to refer to the management information circular of the Company dated January 10, 2022 which is available on the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
