IRVINE, Calif. , July 1, 2021 /CNW/ -- ManifestSeven Holdings Corporation (CSE: MSVN; OTCMKTS: MNFSF) (" M7 " or the " Company "), California's first integrated omnichannel platform for legal cannabis, announces that (i) pursuant to its announcement on June 25, 2021 , the Company continues to explore, review and evaluate a broad range of potential alternatives for M7 and, as part of that process, (ii) the Company has not made the applicable interest payments due on certain secured debt facilities, and (iii) the Company is in discussions with its lenders regarding a restructuring of the Company's debt obligations.

The Company continues evaluating options around its strategic direction and drivers, operations and operating model, geographic footprint, value-driven elements of the supply chain, and resourcing. As a part of that effort, the Company is pursuing a range of financing alternatives and has determined that it is prudent for the Company to preserve cash in the short term, pending further information about the availability and terms of any such alternatives.

As such, the Company did not make the accrued interest payment of US$1,245,691 , due on June 30, 2021 , pursuant to the terms of its remaining secured convertible promissory notes (the " Senior Notes "), which have an aggregate balance outstanding of US$4,138,071 . Further, the Company did not make the Senior Note extension payment of US$125,000 described in further detail in the Company's press release dated May 25, 2021 .

The Company also did not make interest payments due on a secured promissory note, in the aggregate principal amount of US$4,750,000 (" Weden Note "). The Weden Note is secured by a pledge and security agreement entered into among certain Company subsidiaries and the lender, which provides the lender with a first priority security interest in the equity and assets of the Company's subsidiary, Health Healing Holistic Options, Inc., which operates under the trade name "Weden" and conducts cannabis retail and delivery operations out of the Company's dispensary in Santa Ana, California .

By not making the interest payments, the Company is in default of each of the Senior Notes and the Weden Note. While the lender of the Weden Note and the holders of the Senior Notes each have reserved all rights and remedies regarding the respective defaults, all parties are in discussions with the Company about possible solutions. Further, the Company is working closely with its other major creditors, vendors, and landlords as it continues to pursue a range of strategic and financing alternatives.
