TORONTO, Jan. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Auxly Cannabis Group Inc. (TSX: XLY) (OTCQB: CBWTF) ("Auxly" or the "Company"), a leading consumer packaged goods company in the cannabis products market, today announced that it has signed a non-binding term sheet to amend and restate the credit facility (the "Credit Facility") between its wholly-owned subsidiary Auxly Leamington Inc. and a syndicate of lenders, led by the Bank of Montreal as administrative agent upon the following revised terms:

• Extension of the maturity date by two years until December 31, 2025, with an option for Auxly Leamington to extend the maturity date for an additional year by making $2.5 million principal repayment by December 31, 2025;
  
  
• Updated, EBITDA and other financial and operational covenants for Auxly Leamington;
