Herbal Dispatch Announces Equity Private Placement

Vancouver, B.C. – Herbal Dispatch Inc. (formerly, Luff Enterprises Ltd.) (CSE: HERB) (“Herbal Dispatch” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that, subject to regulatory approval, the Company intends to complete a non-brokered private placement ("Private Placement") of approximately 100,000,000 units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of $0.01 per Unit for gross proceeds of $1,000,000. Each Unit shall consist of one common share and one common share warrant (a “Warrant”) with each Warrant exercisable for one common share at a price of $0.05 per share for a period of 24 months after the closing date. The Private Placement shall be completed on a best-efforts basis from eligible purchasers that shall be restricted to accredited investors or other investors meeting exemption requirements for a non-brokered private placement.

The Company continues to experience significant revenue growth on a month-to-month basis in 2023. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company achieved gross sales of almost $400,000, representing over 60% growth from the previous quarter ended December 31, 2022. Monthly run rate gross revenue has gone from less than $100,000 in January 2023 to approximately $300,000 in April and an estimated $400,000 in May 2023. The Company also now has over 1,500 active customers on its medical sales platforms.

The Company expects that strong repeat orders and new customer growth will continue to drive strong month-over-month sales growth throughout the remainder of the year. In addition, the Company is seeing strong inbound interest on export sales that are expected to convert to revenue starting later in the second quarter.

Proceeds from the Private Placement will be used for working capital in support of the Company’s significant growth. Should the Private Placement be oversubscribed, the Company reserves the right to accept additional funds, subject to the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”).

The closing of the Private Placement is expected to occur before June 30, 2023 and is subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the CSE. All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a four month hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
