(“Bophelo”) and anticipated Chairman of Halo pending the closing of the Company’s proposed acquisition of Bophelo (the “Bophelo Acquisition”), to act as the lead investor in a senior convertible debt offering, the proceeds of which will be used primarily to fund expansion at Bophelo’s cannabis cultivation zone in Mafeteng, Lesotho. Other directors, executives and shareholders are expected to participate. The Company is seeking to raise up to $3 million for the initial five hectare build out. To date, Ms. Mojela has funded $1.2 million to Bophelo in connection with the development of the cultivation zone.
