CALGARY, AB, June 3, 2025 /CNW/ - Simply Solventless Concentrates Ltd. (TSXV: HASH) (" SSC") is pleased to announce that it has amended the terms of its aggregate notes payable of up to $7.15 million due to the prior shareholders of ANC Inc. (" ANC"), which were comprised of a non-interest bearing promissory note with $3.65 million currently outstanding (the " Promissory Note"), previously due May 31, 2025, and a non-interest bearing earn-out note with up to $3.5 million outstanding, previously due October 31, 2025 (together with the Promissory Note, the " Notes"). The Notes were originally issued on October 17, 2024 as partial consideration in connection with the acquisition by SSC of ANC. The amendment of the Notes provides for the following repayment terms:
Approximately $3.4 million of the Notes will be repaid through the issuance of 6,875,000 common shares of SSC at $0.50 per common share (the " Equity Issuance"), subject to approval from the TSXV.
$0.5 million of the Notes have been discharged.
$1.0 million of the Notes will be repaid in cash on or around June 3, 2026.
$2.2 million of the Notes will be repaid in weekly cash payments averaging $21,370.19 over two years. Should SSC repay this balance by July 31, 2025, the remaining principal balance owing at that time will be reduced by $367,500. Should SSC repay this balance by December 31, 2025, the remaining principal balance owing at that time will be reduced by $245,000.
The Equity Issuance will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance. In connection with the amendment of the Notes.

This arrangement significantly improves SSC's balance sheet while reducing cash flow obligations, providing a strong foundation for future growth and the execution of our impactful business plan focussed on opportunistic acquisitions."
Related Party Transaction
James, Clarke, Thomas Facciolo and Tairance Rutter, insiders of SSC, will receive a portion of the Equity Issuance as parties to the amended Notes, which are considered "related party transactions" for the purposes of National Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (" MI 61-101"). SSC was exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 in reliance on section 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101. SSC did not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction 21 days prior to the closing of the amendment as the details of the amendment had not been confirmed at that time. Further details will be provided in a material change report to be filed by SSC subsequent to the dissemination of this press release.
