(CSE: BEE) (OTCQB: BEVVF) (CVE: BEE) (the “Company” or “BVT”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a secured loan agreement dated December 11, 2023 (the “Loan Agreement”) with two capital firms (the “Lenders”), whereby it will secure a loan of up to CAD $1 million (the “Loan”) on a credit facility basis.

The Loan will be funded in tranches of $100,000 (each, a “Tranche”) at the Company’s discretion. Each Tranche will be secured and evidenced by promissory notes (each, a “Note”).

The Company intends to use the proceeds from each Tranche to fund its ongoing growth strategy in the agricultural space, for continued research and development, marketing services and general working capital purposes. The Company intends to close the first Tranche on or about December 20, 2023 with up to nine additional Tranches to be drawn over the course of up to two years.
