TNY The Tinley Beverage Company Inc

The Tinley Beverage Company Inc. is pleased to announce that, in anticipation of its Long Beach facility receiving a cannabis manufacturing license, it has appointed a new auditor that is willing to work with companies that are engaging in cannabis-related activities in the United States.  The Company is also pleased to announce today’s closing of the final tranche of its Offering and the issuance of options for employees, officers and directors.  

As such, the Company announces the appointment of Zeifmans LLP (“Zeifmans”) as its auditor, effective December 23, 2019.  After being advised that Liptons LLP would not provide auditing services to Tinley as a result if its US cannabis activities, the Company requested their resignation.  The Company’s Board of Directors subsequently accepted such resignation and contemporaneously approved the appointment of Zeifmans.  In accordance with National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations (“NI 51-102”), the Company has filed a Notice of Change of Auditor, together with response letters from Zeifmans and Liptons. There were no “reportable events,” as such term is defined in NI 51-102.

As previously disclosed, on November 14, Tinley completed a non-brokered private placement (“Offering”) raising gross proceeds of $500,000 from the issue and sale of 1,250,000 units (the “Units”). On November 27, the Company disclosed that it had accepted additional, primarily inbound investor interest of $850,000 in the Offering, thereby bringing the total gross proceeds of the Offering to $1,350,000.  The Company is today closing on a final tranche of $425,000 from an investor in the earlier tranches, thereby bringing the total gross proceeds of the Offering to $1,775,000.  Each Unit is being purchased for $0.40 and is comprised of one common share of Tinley (“Common Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (“Warrant”).  Each Warrant is exercisable into one Common Share (“Warrant Share”) at a price of $0.60 for a period of 36 months following the closing.  The Common Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and a day from the date of closing.  In connection with the Offering, Tinley is paying finders fees on portions of the Offering totaling $116,025 and 290,063 Broker Units, inclusive of the finders fees reported on November 14 and November 27.  Each Broker Unit Option entitles the finder to acquire one Unit (a “Broker Unit”) at an exercise price of $0.40 for a period of 36 months following the closing of the Offering with each Broker Unit comprised of one Common Share and one Warrant. The proceeds will be used for additional equipment, including the prospective canning line, marketing and working capital. 

The Company has granted a total of 2,775,000 options to employees, officers and directors of the Company.  Each option is exercisable into Common Shares at a price of $0.41 per Common Share for a period of 5 years, expiring on December 23, 2024.  The Options vest in increments over 18 months.
