Indiva Limited (the "Company" or "Indiva") (TSXV: NDVA) (OTCQX: NDVAF), the leading Canadian producer of cannabis edibles and other cannabis products, is pleased to announce that Sundial Growers Inc. ("Sundial") has provided an additional $8,500,000 in available funds to Indiva (the "Additional Funds") and has amended the terms of its existing non-revolving term loan facility with Sundial (the "Amended Term Loan"), bringing the total principal amount of the Term Loan including accrued and deferred interest to $19,751,905 (the "Principal Amount"). Indiva has also entered into a settlement and termination agreement (the "Termination Agreement") with Dycar Pharmaceuticals Ltd. ("Dycar") whereby the parties have agreed to terminate and settle all matters between them in relation to the licensing and manufacturing agreement, as amended, entered into on February 18, 2020 (the "Manufacturing Agreement").
The Amended Term Loan matures on February 23, 2024 or upon an event of default (the "Maturity Date") and bears an interest rate of 15% per annum. 100% of accrued interest is payable in cash and accrued on a monthly basis. Upon a change of control of Indiva or the repayment by Indiva of all of its obligations under the Amended Term Loan, Indiva shall be required to have paid to Sundial a multiple on invested capital of 1.375 times the Principal Amount (the "MOIC"). No additional interest shall be payable such that the aggregate amount paid by Indiva to Sundial will not exceed the MOIC.
Indiva intends to use the Additional Funds to satisfy its obligations under the Termination Agreement. Under the terms of the Termination Agreement, Dycar has received total cash consideration of $8,380,959, and the Manufacturing Agreement has been terminated. Dycar and Indiva have also agreed to enter into a mutual release of all existing and potential claims between them. Indiva will continue to provide Dycar with certain limited transitional services not to extend past January 31, 2022.
ATB Capital Markets Inc. ("ATB") acted as exclusive financial advisor to Indiva for the Amended Term Loan. In connection with the Amended Term Loan, Indiva has agreed to pay to ATB a cash commission equal to $250,000.
New Product Launch
Indiva is pleased to announce an array of new products and seasonal offerings which will be on store shelves and available through provincial wholesaler websites to of-age Canadians in 2021:
"We are delighted to continue to drive organic growth, and industry leading market share in the edibles category, by bringing new, innovative cannabis products to of-age Canadians. With a total of 10 new edible SKUs and several new super-premium flower SKUs to hit the market in the 4th quarter of 2021, Indiva will continue to build on its strength of producing differentiated products from our key brands, including Wana Sour Gummies, Bhang Chocolate, Slow Ride Bakery, Jewels and Artisan Batch," said Niel Marotta, President and Chief Executive Officer of Indiva. "We are also very pleased with the continued support from Sundial. The Amended Term Loan, and termination and repayment of all obligations under the Dycar Manufacturing Agreement, effectively lowers Indiva's cost of capital, and will be immediately accretive to earnings and cash flow."
Warrant Incentive Program Update With Strong Initial Insider Support
Further to the previously announced warrant exercise incentive program (the "Incentive Program") on September 22, 2021, the Company is pleased to announce that of the 17,184,996 outstanding common share purchase warrants (the "Warrants") eligible to participate in the Incentive Program, it has received commitments for the exercise of 8,016,666 Warrants, representing $3,206,666 in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company.

The Incentive Warrants and any common shares issued upon the exercise of the Incentive Warrants will be subject to a hold period expiring four months plus one day after the date of distribution of the Incentive Warrants.
Holders of Warrants eligible to participate in the Incentive Program who would like to participate in the Incentive Program have until October 12, 2021 to exercise their Warrants in the manner set forth in the letter delivered to the registered holders of the Warrants. Any Warrants that are not exercised prior to October 12, 2021 will remain outstanding in accordance with their original terms, and in particular, will no longer be eligible to participate in the Incentive Program.
