Headwinds Cause Cannabis Companies To Adapt Finances

XS Financial closed on a $24 million line of credit with Needham Bank committing $20 million and acting as the administrative agent. XS Financials’ existing $4 million line of credit with an FDIC-insured bank will be retired, and the same bank will contribute $4 million in the new loan.

“With many capital sources in the industry experiencing a near-term pullback in financing, we are thrilled to continue funding our target borrowers at scale for their critical expansion projects,” XSF CEO David Kivitz said.

XSF fully retired its $15 million line of credit with the Garrington Group concurrently with the closing of this loan.

The new loan has a term of two years, expiring in August 2024. Loans made under the line of credit will bear interest at an annual rate equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime rate plus 1%, with a floor of 6%, and may be prepaid with no penalty at any time.

This credit facility is a strong indication of James’ and our lenders’ ability to offer credit solutions tailored to the unique needs of a company and underscores the strength of our nationwide banking platform in the fast-growing cannabis market,” Needham Bank CEO Joseph Campanelli said.

IM Cannabis issues financing 

IM Cannabis also said that it will issue $5 million worth of nonbrokered financing – similar to a stock split. The company intends to use the proceeds from the offering for general working capital purposes.

Following the deal, the company may issue up to 10 million common shares at a price of 50 cents per common share. The deal is expected to close on or about Aug. 22.
