Medford, Oregon–(Newsfile Corp. – March 11, 2021) – Grown Rogue International Inc. (CSE: GRIN) (OTC: GRUSF) (“Grown Rogue” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced upsized brokered private placement offering through the issuance of an aggregate of 21,056,890 special warrants (each a “Special Warrant“) at a price of $0.225 (the “Issue Price“) per Special Warrant for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,737,800.25 (the “Offering“). The Offering was led by Eight Capital (the “Agent“), as sole agent and bookrunner.
Each Special Warrant entitles the holder thereof to receive, for no additional consideration, one unit of the Company (each, a “Unit“) on the exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrant. Each Unit is comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Common Share“) and one Common Share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant“). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.30 for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the closing date (the “Closing Date“) of the Offering, subject to adjustment in certain events set out in the indenture governing the Warrants.
The Special Warrants are exercisable by the holders thereof at any time for no additional consideration and all unexercised Special Warrants will be deemed to be exercised, without any further action or payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, on the date that is the earlier of: (i) the date that is three (3) business days following the date on which the Company obtains a receipt from the applicable securities regulatory authorities (the “Securities Commissions“) for a (final) short form prospectus qualifying distribution of the Common Shares and Warrants underlying the Special Warrants (the “Qualifying Prospectus“), and (ii) July 6, 2021.
The Company has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a receipt from the Securities Commissions for the Qualifying Prospectus before the date that is 30 days following the Closing Date (the “Qualification Date“), provided, however, that there is no assurance that a Qualifying Prospectus will be filed or that a receipt therefor will be issued by the Securities Commissions prior to the expiry of the statutory four month hold period.
If the Company has not received a receipt from the Securities Commissions for the Qualifying Prospectus on or before April 5, 2021, each unexercised Special Warrant will thereafter entitle the holder to receive upon the exercise or deemed exercise thereof, at no additional consideration, 1.10 Units (instead of one (1) Unit).
As consideration for the services rendered by the Agent in connection with the Offering, the Company paid to the Agent a cash commission of $253,745.63 and issued the Agent an aggregate of 1,127,758 broker warrants of the Company (the “Broker Warrants“) exercisable to acquire 1,127,758 compensation options (the “Compensation Options“). As consideration for certain advisory services provided in connection with the Offering, the Company paid to the Agent an advisory fee of $25,500 and issued the Agent an aggregate of 113,500 advisory warrants (the “Advisory Warrants“) exercisable to acquire 113,500 Compensation Options.
Each Compensation Option entitles the holder thereof to purchase one unit of the Company (a “Compensation Unit“) at the Issue Price for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date, subject to adjustment in certain events. Each Compensation Unit shall be comprised of one Common Share and one common share purchase warrant of the Company (a “Compensation Warrant“). Each Compensation Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase one common share in the capital of the Company (a “Compensation Warrant Share“) at a price of $0.30 at any time before 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the day that is twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date, subject to adjustment in certain events.
The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Prior to the filing of the Qualifying Prospectus and the deemed exercise of the Special Warrants, the securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of closing of the Offering in addition to any other restrictions under applicable law.
The securities issued and sold pursuant to the Offering have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This news release will not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor will there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Management Commentary
“With the April 1st cannabis legalization in Germany, we are augmenting our focus and resources on the German market, where we expect to see the biggest growth potential, and the best return on investment. While it is still too early to make any predictions, our sales in Germany almost doubled during the month of April,” said Oren Shuster, Chief Executive Officer of IMC. “Looking back on the first month post legalization in Germany, I see that we have the infrastructure and the supply agreements in place to continue delivering the accelerated growth we have already seen in April. We will also ensure that we have the necessary resources in place for success.”
“In 2023 we completely restructured, becoming a very lean and agile company, leaning into active cost management. This process is reflected in the numbers, our G&A decreased 27% vs Q1 2023” said Uri Birenberg, Chief Financial Officer of IMC. “While our results have recovered from the impact of the Israel-Hamas war, our revenue was still effected by both an unfavorable exchange rate, as well as price reductions to sell off inventory.”

Q1 2024 Financial Results
- Revenues for the first quarter of 2024 were $12.1 million compared to $12.5 million in the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of 3%. The decrease is mainly due an exchange rate effect of about $0.2 million and decrease in avg. price per sale due to increased competition.
- Gross profit for the first quarter of 2024 was $1.8 million, compared to $2.9 million in Q1 2024, a decrease of 39%. The downside is attributed mainly to the slow-moving stock that was moved out at a lower price and an exchange rate difference totaling $0.4 million and $0.64 million cost of sales loss due to an inventory erase of the slow-moving stock. Company fair value adjustment was $0 and $0.4 million for the Q1 2024 and Q1 2023 respectively.
- Total Dried Flower sold in Q1 2024 was approximately 1,873 kg with an average selling price of $5.68 per gram, compared to approximately 1,842kg in Q1 2023, with an average selling price of $6.59 per gram. This difference is mainly due to increased competition within the retail segment, and mid-range stock discounts to move out slow moving stock.
- Total operating expenses in Q1 2024 were $7.4 million compared to $6.5 million in Q1 2023. The increase is due to the other operating expenses related to Oranim Deal revoke, with an expected losses of $2.8 million. Adjusting for this one-time losses, Q1 2024 operating expenses were $4.6 million compared to $6.5 million in Q1 2023, a decrease of 29%.
- G&A Expenses in Q1 2024 were $2.3 million, compared to $3.2 million in Q1 2023, a decrease of 28%. The decrease in the G&A expense is attributable mainly to salaries and professional services of $0.64 million.
- Selling and Marketing Expenses in Q1 2024 were $2.3 million, compared to $2.8 million in Q1 2023, a decrease of 18% mainly due to a decrease in Salaries and professional services of $0.5 million.
- Net Loss from continuing operations in Q1 2024 was $6.0 million, compared to $0.9 million in Q12023.
- Basic and diluted Loss per Share in Q1 2024 was $0.42, compared to a loss of $0.05 per Share in Q1 2023.

- Cash and Cash Equivalents as of March 31, 2024, were $1.0 million compared to $1.8 million in December 31, 2023.
- Total assets as of March 31, 2024, were $41.1 million, compared to $48.8 million in December 31, 2023, a decrease of 16%. The decrease is mainly attributed to the goodwill reduction due to Oranim agreement cancelation of about $2.8M, a reduction in Inventory of $2.1 million, reduction of Cash and cash equivalents of $0.8M and reduction in Trade payables of $1.2 million.
- Total Liabilities as of March 31, 2024, were $32.8 million, compared to $35.1 in December 31, 2023, a decrease of about 7%. The decrease was mainly due to the reduction in other accounts payables and accrued expenses of $1.8 million and reduction in the PUT option liability of $0.7 million.

Non-IFRS Measures
This press release makes reference to “Gross Margin” and “Adjusted EBITDA”, which are financial measures that are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These measures are provided as complementary information to the Company’s IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these measures should neither be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS.
For an explanation of how management defines Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA, see the Company’s management’s discussion and analysis for the period ended March 31, 2024, available under the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.
We reconcile these non-IFRS financial measures to the most comparable IFRS measures as set out below.

Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as “seek”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “estimate”, “expect”, “likely” and “intend” and statements that an event or result “may”, “will”, “should”, “could” or “might” occur or be achieved and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on the estimates and opinions of management on the date the statements are made. In the press release, such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to: the impact of the Israel-Hamas war on the Company, including its operations and the medical cannabis industry in Israel; the timing and impact of the legalization of medicinal cannabis in Germany, including, the Company having it “all in house”; the Company being positioned to take advantage of the legalization; the Company’s growth in 2024; the market growth for medicinal cannabis in Germany; the stated benefits of the Company’s EU-GMP processing facility and an EU-GDP logistics center; the Company to host a teleconference meeting as stated; and the Company’s stated goals, scope, and nature of operations in Germany, Israel, and other jurisdictions the Company may operate.
Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, including but not limited to: the Company’s ability to focus and resources to achieve sustainable and profitable growth in its highest value markets; the Company’s ability to mitigate the impact of the Israel-Hamas war on the Company; the Company’s ability to take advantage of the legalization of medicinal cannabis in Germany; the Company’s ability to host a teleconference meeting as stated; and the Company’s ability to carry out its stated goals, scope, and nature of operations in Germany, Israel, and other jurisdictions the Company may operate.
The above lists of forward-looking statements and assumptions are not exhaustive. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements due to a number of factors and risks. These include: the failure of the Company to comply with applicable regulatory requirements in a highly regulated industry; unexpected changes in governmental policies and regulations in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates; the Company’s ability to continue to meet the listing requirements of the Canadian Securities Exchange and the NASDAQ Capital Market; any unexpected failure to maintain in good standing or renew its licenses; the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group“) to deliver on their sales commitments or growth objectives; the reliance of the Group on third-party supply agreements to provide sufficient quantities of medical cannabis to fulfil the Group’s obligations; the Group’s possible exposure to liability, the perceived level of risk related thereto, and the anticipated results of any litigation or other similar disputes or legal proceedings involving the Group; the impact of increasing competition; any lack of merger and acquisition opportunities; adverse market conditions; the inherent uncertainty of production quantities, qualities and cost estimates and the potential for unexpected costs and expenses; risks of product liability and other safety-related liability from the usage of the Group’s cannabis products; supply chain constraints; reliance on key personnel; the risk of defaulting on existing debt; risks surrounding war, conflict and civil unrest in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, including the impact of the Israel-Hamas war on the Company, its operations and the medical cannabis industry in Israel; risks associated with the Company focusing on the Israel and Germany markets; the inability of the Company to achieve sustainable profitability and/or increase shareholder value; the inability of the Company to actively manage costs and/or improve margins; the inability of the company to grow and/or maintain sales; the inability of the Company to meet its goals and/or strategic plans; the inability of the Company to reduce costs and/or maintain revenues; the Company’s inability to take advantage of the legalization of medicinal cannabis in Germany; and the Company’s inability to host a teleconference meeting as stated.
