  • On March 7, 2023, Xebra Brands Ltd (XBRA: CSE)(XBRAF: OTCQB,  a British Columbia-based producer of cannabis-infused beverages, closed a  $659K private placement of units.
  • 15M units were sold at approximately $.04 per unit. Each unit has one common share and one 18-month warrant with a 66% exercise premium.
  • The net share price was a 43% discount to the preannouncement share price, consistent with the 38% increase in total shares outstanding before any warrant exercise.
  • The issue implied a market cap and enterprise value of $2.32M and $1.44M, respectively. The share price tripled on heavy volume directly after the issue, and current market cap and enterprise values are $8.7M and $8.5M. Valuation metrics are not meaningful given the company’s startup status (LTM revenues were approximately $60k).
