On August 23, 2017, Peace Naturals, as borrower, entered into a construction loan agreement with Romspen Investment Corporation as lender, to borrow $40,000, to be funded by way of multiple advances. The aggregate advances are limited to $35,000 until the lender receives an appraisal valuing the property in British Columbia at an amount of not less than $8,000. The loan bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum, calculated and compounded monthly, in arrears, on the amounts advanced from the date of each advance. The term of the loan is two years, with the borrower’s option to extend for another twelve months. The loan is guaranteed by Cronos Group, Hortican, OGBC, the responsible-person-in-charge and the senior- person-in-charge of OGBC and Peace Naturals. The loan is secured by the following:
