Bonanza Blue Corp. Enters Into Binding Agreement With Cannabis Royalties & Holdings Corp. to Complete Reverse Take-Over

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 30, 2016) - Bonanza Blue Corp. (the "Company" or "BB") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding agreement (the "Agreement") with Cannabis Royalties & Holdings Corp. ("CRHC") which outlines the general terms and conditions of a proposed transaction pursuant to which BB will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of CRHC in exchange for securities of BB. The proposed transaction is anticipated to be carried out by way of a three-cornered amalgamation (the "Amalgamation") or other similar transaction, pursuant to which CRHC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of BB or otherwise combine its corporate existence with that of BB (the "Proposed Transaction"). As a result of the Proposed Transaction, the Company will continue on with the business of CRHC under the name "CannaRoyalty Corp." The Agreement was negotiated at arm's length and is dated June 30, 2016.

BB is a reporting issuer in the Province of Ontario and its common shares (the "BB Shares") are not currently listed on any exchange or market. As contemplated by the Agreement, BB and CRHC intend to apply to the Canadian Stock Exchange ("CSE") for the listing of the common shares of the consolidated entity (the "Listing"). BB has no commercial operations and has no assets other than cash.

CRHC is a privately held company incorporated pursuant to the Canada Business Corporations Act. CRHC provides an integrated approach to the legal cannabis sector with a focus on three key verticals: brands and intellectual property, delivery systems and devices, and extraction. CRHC contributes strategic capital and expertise to maximize the return potential of its diversified portfolio of assets and holdings.

The parties intend to enter into an amalgamation agreement (the "Amalgamation Agreement") to effect the Amalgamation, with such Amalgamation Agreement to include the terms and conditions set out in the Agreement and such other terms and conditions customary for transactions of this nature. The Proposed Transaction is subject to, among other things, receipt of the requisite shareholder approvals, regulatory approval, including approval of the CSE, and additional conditions, as described in the Agreement.

Prior to the completion of the Proposed Transaction, BB will call a meeting of its shareholders for the purpose of approving, among other matters, (i) a consolidation of the issued and outstanding BB common shares on the basis of one "new" BB common share for every 5 "old" BB Shares (the "Consolidation"), subject to adjustment in certain events; (ii) a change of name of BB to "CannaRoyalty Corp." or such other name as CRHC may determine and shall be acceptable to regulatory authorities; (iii) the election of nominees of CRHC to the board of directors of BB; and (iv) if required by the CSE or otherwise due to the structure of the Proposed Transaction, the approval of the Proposed Transaction. Upon closing of the Proposed Transaction, the board of directors of BB will be reconstituted in a manner that complies with the requirements of the CSE and applicable securities laws. CRHC shall be entitled to all nominees on the reconstituted board, subject to the receipt of applicable regulatory approvals.

In connection with the Proposed Transaction, CRHC intends to undertake one or more equity financings (the "CRHC Financing"). Further information regarding such financing(s) will be available in due course. In connection with the Proposed Transaction, BB also intends to undertake an equity financing for gross proceeds of not less than C$50,000 in cash (the "BB Financing"). The BB Financing will be completed by way of an issuance of subscription receipts, with each subscription receipt entitling the holder to one post-consolidation BB share upon conversion in accordance with its terms. Upon closing of the Proposed Transaction, all securities of CRHC issued in connection with the CRHC Financing will automatically be exchanged for post-consolidation BB shares on the same terms as existing CRHC securities.
