Fire And Flower Holdings (TSX: FAF) is looking to strengthen its balance sheet, with the firm announcing this morning that it has forced the conversion of certain convertible debentures due July 31, 2020 following an amendment to the terms. The company has positioned the move as being one that significantly increases the balance sheet of the firm.
As of the latest financial report from Fire and Flower, a total principal amount of $20.0 million remained outstanding on the July debentures, which bares an interest rate of 8.0% per annum.
Following the consent of the two debenture holders, the terms of the debenture have been further amended and modified to allow for the forced conversion of the debt if the equity is trading above $0.70.
