NEWS RELEASE
Greenbriar Announces Amendment to Water Rights Option Purchase Agreement
| August 30, 2024 | Trading Symbol: TSX Venture Exchange: GRB US OTC Market: GEBRF |
Scottsdale, Arizona, August 30th, 2024 - Greenbriar Sustainable Living Inc. (TSXV: GRB) (OTC: GEBRF) ("Greenbriar" or the "Company") announces that it has entered into an amending agreement with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Greenbriar Capital (U.S.) LLC ("Greenbriar USA"), and Ronnie Strasser ("Strasser") dated August 30, 2024 (the "Water Rights Amendment Agreement"), pursuant to which the parties agreed to amend the water rights option purchase agreement made as of October 1, 2023, between Greenbriar USA and Strasser (the "Original Water Rights Agreement").
Under the Original Water Rights Agreement, Strasser granted Greenbriar the right to acquire up to 115 acre-feet of water rights in the Tehachapi-Cummings County Water District (the "Water Rights") at an aggregate price of US$3,364,964.00 plus a non-refundable reservation fee of US$1,010,000 (the "Original Reservation Fee"). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Water Rights Amendment Agreement, Greenbriar USA may acquire the Water Rights for an aggregate price of US$3,400,000 plus the Original Reservation Fee. The parties also agreed that Greenbriar USA's option to exercise its right to acquire the Water Rights expires on December 31, 2024.
Additionally, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Water Rights Amendment Agreement, Greenbriar agreed to amend an aggregate of 500,000 incentive stock options to acquire up to 500,000 common shares in the capital of Greenbriar that were issued to certain consultants of Greenbriar on January 25, 2022, and are exercisable at a price of $1.25 per common share until January 25, 2025 (the "Options"). Greenbriar is seeking to amend the Options to reduce the exercise price from C$1.25 to C$1.00 per common share and to extend the expiry date of the Options from January 25, 2025, to the date that is two years following the date of the amendment (the "Option Amendments").
The Company also announces it has entered into a debt assumption and settlement amendment agreement (the "Debt Assumption and Settlement Amendment Agreement") with Captiva Verde Wellness Corp. ("Captiva") and Greenbriar USA, pursuant to which: (i) Greenbriar assumed C$1,000,000 (the "Assumed Indebtedness") of the C$5,591,588 owed by Greenbriar USA to the Company (the "Greenbriar USA Indebtedness") under the joint venture settlement agreement dated June 22, 2023, as amended August 21, 2023, between Greenbriar USA and the Company (the "Original Settlement Agreement"); and (ii) the parties amended the Original Settlement Agreement to update the repayment schedule of the remaining Greenbriar USA Indebtedness due to the assumption of the Assumed Indebtedness.
The Company also entered into a debt settlement agreement with Captiva (the "Debt Settlement Agreement"), pursuant to which Greenbriar agreed to issue a number of common shares in the capital of Greenbriar having an aggregate value equal to the Greenbriar Assumed Indebtedness (the "Shares for Debt Settlement").
Greenbriar is also pleased to announce that it has extended its letter agreement dated March 28, 2022, with Voya Renewable Energy Infrastructure Originator L.P. and Voya Investment Management LLC, pertaining to a construction loan mandate, until November 28, 2024.
The completion of the transactions contemplated by the Debt Assumption and Settlement Amendment Agreement and the Debt Settlement Agreement, as well as the Option Amendments, remain subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). Further details will be provided at the time of closing of the transactions.
