Sunstream Bancorp Provides Follow-On Funding To SKYMINT'

CALGARY, AB, Nov. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - SunStream Opportunities LP ('SunStream'), an affiliate of SunStream Bancorp Inc., a joint venture sponsored by SNDL Inc. (Nasdaq: sndl ) ('SNDL'), today announced the closing of a US$6.25M senior secured term loan ('Senior Secured Term Loan') follow-on financing (the 'Financing') to SKYMINT Brands ('SKYMINT').

The Financing, made through Tropics LP, an affiliate of SunStream, increases the Senior Secured Term Loan principal amount advanced to SKYMINT to US$81.25 million. The Financing is the second follow-on senior secured term loan financing provided by SunStream to SKYMINT, the first being an incremental US$5 million for general working capital purposes, made in May 2022. In September of 2021, SunStream advanced its initial senior secured term loan to Skymint in the amount of US$70 million, in connection with SKYMINT's acquisition of 3Fifteen Cannabis ('3Fifteen'). The use of funds of the Financing will be for general working capital purposes, as SKYMINT finalizes the transfer of the remainder of the cannabis licenses acquired from 3Fifteen. With the acquisition of 3Fifteen, SKYMINT seeks to expand its retail footprint to 24 locations in Michigan, believed to be one of the largest cannabis retail footprints in the state.

Loans issued under the Financing will bear interest at a rate of 12.5% to 16.5% per annum based on a leverage test and mature on September 17, 2025.
