Charlotte's Web Holdings (CWEB.TO) has strengthened its balance sheet and enhanced its capital position after closing transactions with British American Tobacco subsidiary BT DE Investments (BAT), Charlotte's Web said overnight Thursday.

Charlotte's Web, a provider of hemp extract wellness products, closed the amendment and conversion of BAT's outstanding C$75.3 million principal amount of the convertible debenture into common shares of Charlotte's Web at a conversion price of C$0.94 per share.

Charlotte's Web also completed a concurrent additional equity investment by BAT of US$10 million through a private placement priced at C$0.94 per share.

"With increased financial flexibility and a streamlined capital structure, we are better positioned to execute our growth strategy, expand access, and deliver long-term value for our shareholders," Chief Executive Officer Bill Morachnick said.
