Puro New Zealand

In December 2020 Puro planted 10 hectares of medical cannabis at Kēkerengū on the Kaikoura Coast, where we also constructed the country’s largest medical cannabis drying facility. The seeds have been sourced from Australia, Europe and North America, and consist of six carefully selected cultivars, handpicked for their high levels of CBD and CBG, and low levels of THC.

Our first commercial cannabis harvest is taking place in March and April 2021.

What we've done so far

Puro has laid an solid foundation for success since its establishment a little over two years ago. It is well-placed to take advantage of the rapidly growing cannabis industry.

Seedlings at Puro's Waihopai research facility

Seedlings at Puro's Waihopai research facility.

The money raised through Puro’s initial PledgeMe campaign enabled Puro to turn its potential into action.  Over the last two years Puro has started growing at its two sites, formed a talented team, secured key licences, developed a research programme and formed key research partnerships.  We have also invested in significant, long-term infrastructure and specialised equipment, culminating with the planting of New Zealand’s largest medical cannabis crop in the summer of 2020/21. 

Puro achievements to date

 

What's next?

While we are proud of Puro's achievements to date, we know the best is yet to come.

Through this opportunity, Puro aims to raise a maximum of $2 million through retail investors. This will be used to fund ongoing working capital including the development of Puro’s indoor breeding facility at Waihopai, near Blenheim. This facility, which will be established in an existing building, is designed to produce the highest quality cannabis flowers from Puro’s premium cultivars.  Puro is growing. This is your opportunity to grow with us.

Waihopai site model

The breeding facility will sit beside Puro’s existing research facility and play an important role in continuously improving its crop genetics, while also acting as a nursing facility for seed production and for stocking our commercial glasshouses following further expansion.  The completion of this facility is part of Puro's planned staged approach to development.  

Puro coming up

Puro has secured room to grow.  At our Kēkerengū outdoor cultivation site we have up to 80 hectares of flat land available to us.  We are currently growing under organic protocols and, with our organic certification pending, we are on track to be one of the few large scale producers of organic cannabis in the world.  This provides Puro with a unique proposition when exporting to global markets.

Please note: We are only issuing whole shares. As the share price is $1.15, your desired pledge amount will be rounded up or down to the closest number of whole shares. For example, the minimum pledge possible is actually $2,500.10 if rounded to the closest number of whole shares.

Risks and Challenges

Puro is a start-up enterprise, working in a new-to-New Zealand industry sector and operating in an uncertain global business environment. While all new industries present challenges, Puro believes it has the right people and the right systems in place to navigate these uncertainties and continue to develop its commercial production.

Puro has a comprehensive risk management framework which enables the Board of Directors and management to regularly and systematically assess the likelihood of existing and potential risks occurring, the impact they may have and develop controls and mitigation strategies to protect the sustainability of the business.

Further commentary around the risks and challenges are available in the Information Memorandum.

A note from PledgeMe

We have completed Veda checks on the company, Puro New Zealand Limited, and the nominee company, Puro Shareholding Limited, and their Directors, as well as Google checks. Articles were found relating to previous directors, and irregular behaviour by a non-related cannabis company. Puro directors are confident Puro has managed these issues appropriately. There were no other adverse findings.

    Details

    Offer Details

    Current Valuation 34,336,025
    Raise Minimum 100,000
    Raise Maximum 2,000,000
    Share Price 1.15
    Minimum Pledge 2,500.10
    Maximum Shares Offered 1,739,130
    Explanation of valuation:

    The pre-raise value of $34,336,025 is based on 29,857,413 shares currently on issue at $1.15 per share. This price compares to Puro’s previous raise in 2019 at $1.00 per share which was oversubscribed by both wholesale and retail investors.

    This valuation is an assessment of value by the Puro directors using their knowledge,
    experience and expertise. It is based on the considerable investments Puro has made to
    date into specialised equipment, long-term infrastructure, key staff recruitment and system
    development. The Puro directors believe this assessment represents fair value and is
    attractive both to new shareholders, some of whom missed out on the previous Puro capital
    raise, and existing shareholders who wish to increase their investment.

    Financial Information:
    The medical cannabis sector in which Puro operates in is a new industry and developing at a
    rapid pace. Puro is at the beginning of the value chain as a specialist grower. While interest
    in Puro’s products is strong, regulatory delays and wider impacts of COVID-19 are impacting
    the industry. This has led to delays and difficulties in predicting revenue streams. The fast-paced nature of this ne
    w industry, and fluidity around international market access, regulatory
    understanding and manufacturing, has resulted in the Puro board determining that, while
    they have financial information prepared for internal purposes and as an assessment of
    value, it is not prudent or practicable to formulate reasonable assumptions on which to base
    prospective financial information for investors.

    Historical financial information and an analysis of the global markets and key implications and opportunities for Puro is provided in the Information Memorandum.

    Please note: We are only issuing whole shares. As the share price is $1.15, your desired pledge amount will be rounded up or down to the closest number of whole shares. For example, the minimum pledge possible is actually $2,500.10 if rounded to the closest number of whole shares.

    Hi I pledged for this round and am wondering when we get notified to pay?? I thought it was on the 14th of April but nothing has been deducted. I would hate to miss out, in fact I would be right pissed off to be honest.

    Posted on 21-04-2021 by Pey-Lyn Laulua

    Hi Pey-Lyn. You should have received an email from PledgeMe regarding payment and next steps, it is possible your spam/junk filters may have intercept or we have an incorrect email address. Can you please email PledgeMe ([email protected]) confirming your email and they will resend the information to you. You wont miss out ! Thanks, Tim

    Hi Tim - exciting to see your offer be so well supported. II would like to invest, but is it too late? I went through pledge process only to realise at the end that there is no more shares to allocate. Justin

    Posted on 15-04-2021 by Justin Strang

    Hi Justin. Thank you, we are very fortunate to have such incredible support from our shareholders and investment community. The offer is now full, however PledgeMe will commence a validation process to ensure every investor meets AML and NZ residency compliance. If an investor is deemed ineligible for any reason, we will look to withdraw their pledge and replace from a waitlist, which is to be formed shortly. Please keep an eye out on our website to register your interest at www.puro.co.nz/invest (this page will be updated shortly).

    I was on a wait list as an investor who missed out last time but didn't get any update that this offer was live. "This private capital raise is for our shareholders and registered investors only. This is your chance to own a stake in Puro." Is there a seperate offer for existing and waitlist investors or is this offer on pledgeme the same thing?

    Posted on 14-04-2021 by Rob Thomson

    Hi Rob, please let me apologise. It appears your email was not included in our earlier announcements to waitlist investors, sorry about that. I will email you now with my phone number if you wish to give me a call. Thanks and sorry about that, Tim.

    Hi, I have 5000 shares from the last investment round that I am quite keen to sell (for personal reasons). If there is the opportunity to sell these during this campaign (maybe in smaller tranches to anyone that can't afford the 2500 minimum specified in this offer? Or if over-subscribed for example??) Then I would be very keen to do this. Please advise if this is an option at all. I appreciate any assistance.

    Posted on 11-04-2021 by James Cameron

    Thanks for your message. We will enable share trading on the Orchestra platform next year. In the meantime, if you know a buyer we can assist you with a private trade. Please get in touch with us directly and we can help with that and speak to you about the process.

    Answered on 12-04-2021 by Tim Aldridge


    How can you value 10 Hectares at $2,000,000. At 3500 pounds a hectare, that seems to equate to 57$ a pound. Can you please justify this price? US hemp prices right now are at $5 a pound max.

    Posted on 10-04-2021 by Reid Stewart

    Thanks for your question. While you are correct, 2020 pricing has hemp CBD ‘biomass' varying from $7USD to $40USD per pound, and CBG Biomass averaging $61USD per pound; our product is not biomass (low potency).

    Puro has the ability to produce large volumes of slow-dried, high potency top flower. Global marketplaces out the average price of high potency CBD and CBG flower around $US160 per pound. Our forecasting and projections for the next 5+ years have been erring on the side of caution.

    We also foresee the marketplace paying by the price of API (price per milligram of CBD for example) - so we are confident that with correct cultivar selection, and our premium growing environment and organic methodologies - we will be able to command a suitable price for Puro flower.

    I assume the $2 Million of biological assets is cannabis. Just wondering how you have valued these assets and if you are expecting revenue of $2M from the sale of these assets over the next 12 months? (Your reveue forecast currently shows $0 for the next 2 years).

    Posted on 30-03-2021 by Jacob Boyes

    Yes, the Biological Assets consist of the cannabis plants still in the ground at 31 December 2020. The relevant principles of International Accounting Standards (IAS 41 — Agriculture) have been applied in determining the value shown – and that is to measure the assets at fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Our forecasts, including revenues, have been prepared for internal purposes. Please refer to the Information Memorandum for commentary explaining why it is not prudent to provide these to investors as part of this offer. Regards, Tim

    Answered on 30-03-2021 by Tim Aldridge


    Are you able to give more specifics on how the cash will be used? In the prospectus it sounds like you will mainly be investing in capital, however, there is only $800k cash on hand and you have forecast no revenue for the next 2 years. With about $600k in payables and having burnt through $1 million cash last year seems like a lot of it will just be used to keep the lights on. Do you also expect to be doing further capital raises to sure up your cash position in the near future?

    Posted on 30-03-2021 by Jacob Boyes

    The new capital introduced by this raise will be used to develop our indoor breeding facility at Waihopai Valley and for working capital. We also have a subsequent wholesale raise which will primarily be used to fund the first commercial glasshouse. There are no further capital raises planned at this stage. The directors have managed Puro’s investments carefully and strategically, with the funds invested to date enabling the construction of significant infrastructure, importation of seed genetics and the planting of NZ’s first large-scale medical cannabis crop. Please refer to the Information Memorandum regarding commentary on forecasts, which have been prepared for internal purposes. Thanks Tim

All shareholders have been invited to join Orchestra so they can view their shareholding and see other relevant company information. We will follow up with you directly. Thanks, Tim

    Was prepared to also put on much the same as last time. Why has this come about. Not everybody can afford the minimum. And what has happened to the amount we have already invested. Interested to hear. Regards Jan

    Posted on 25-03-2021 by Janive Harrison

    Hi Jan. Thanks for your question. The minimum investment threshold has increased for this offer and the directors believe this is suitable given the progress and position Puro is in today. The funds invested previously have been use to build out the infrastructure and equipment required to undertake NZ’s biggest cannabis farm. We outline this further on page 20 of the Information Memorandum. Thanks, Tim

    Answered on 25-03-2021 by Tim Aldridge


    RE Jacob Boyes comment. I agree with him. Looks like you have forgotten the smaller investors who helped you get started. Maybe a $1000 lower limit may have been the go.

    Posted on 24-03-2021 by Geoff Hawke

    Hi Geoff. It is always difficult to set investment thresholds and we do appreciate your feedback - thank you. As per above, the directors felt $2,500 was a suitable minimum given the progress and position Puro is in today, with facilities built and our commercial harvest due to commence next week. We do value our smaller investors immensely. In setting the minimum investment level for this offer we reviewed our current shareholding levels and found the majority of our shareholders sit above that $2,500 investment level, which also gave the directors confidence that this threshold is at the right level for the business today. Thanks, Tim

    Answered on 25-03-2021 by Tim Aldridge


    Why is there not a $500 pledge option like last time?

    Posted on 23-03-2021 by Jacob Boyes

    Hi Jacob. The majority of our shareholder investment into the company to date has been at or above $2,500 and the directors felt $2,500 was a suitable minimum given the size of the company and achievements to date. Thanks for your question.

    Puro New Zealand

    Puro is New Zealand's largest cultivator of premium medical cannabis, dedicated to growing sustainably and organically at two sites in Marlborough.  We are one of the first companies in New Zealand to commercially grow low-THC and high-CBD medical cannabis, which we will sell to domestic and international manufacturers and wholesalers.

    With the licences we need, plants in the ground, the first harvest about start and the space to expand – Puro is growing.  Our organic accredition is also underway, which will provide a unique selling proposition for Puro locally and globally.

    In December 2020 Puro planted 10 hectares of medical cannabis at Kēkerengū on the Kaikoura Coast, where we also constructed the country’s largest medical cannabis drying facility. The seeds have been sourced from Australia, Europe and North America, and consist of six carefully selected cultivars, handpicked for their high levels of CBD and CBG, and low levels of THC.

    Our first commercial cannabis harvest is taking place in March and April 2021.

    With an internationally-experienced agronomy team, global experts on medical cannabis by our side and a cultivation programme driven by comprehensive research and world-leading technology, Puro offers an exciting opportunity to invest at the forefront of this new global industry.

    What we've done so far

    Puro has laid an solid foundation for success since its establishment a little over two years ago. It is well-placed to take advantage of the rapidly growing cannabis industry.

    Seedlings at Puro's Waihopai research facility

    Seedlings at Puro's Waihopai research facility.

    The money raised through Puro’s initial PledgeMe campaign enabled Puro to turn its potential into action.  Over the last two years Puro has started growing at its two sites, formed a talented team, secured key licences, developed a research programme and formed key research partnerships.  We have also invested in significant, long-term infrastructure and specialised equipment, culminating with the planting of New Zealand’s largest medical cannabis crop in the summer of 2020/21. 

    Puro achievements to date

     

    What's next?

    While we are proud of Puro's achievements to date, we know the best is yet to come.

    Through this opportunity, Puro aims to raise a maximum of $2 million through retail investors. This will be used to fund ongoing working capital including the development of Puro’s indoor breeding facility at Waihopai, near Blenheim. This facility, which will be established in an existing building, is designed to produce the highest quality cannabis flowers from Puro’s premium cultivars.  Puro is growing. This is your opportunity to grow with us.

    Waihopai site model

    The breeding facility will sit beside Puro’s existing research facility and play an important role in continuously improving its crop genetics, while also acting as a nursing facility for seed production and for stocking our commercial glasshouses following further expansion.  The completion of this facility is part of Puro's planned staged approach to development.  

    Puro coming up

    Puro has secured room to grow.  At our Kēkerengū outdoor cultivation site we have up to 80 hectares of flat land available to us.  We are currently growing under organic protocols and, with our organic certification pending, we are on track to be one of the few large scale producers of organic cannabis in the world.  This provides Puro with a unique proposition when exporting to global markets.

    Please note: We are only issuing whole shares. As the share price is $1.15, your desired pledge amount will be rounded up or down to the closest number of whole shares. For example, the minimum pledge possible is actually $2,500.10 if rounded to the closest number of whole shares.

    Risks and Challenges

    Puro is a start-up enterprise, working in a new-to-New Zealand industry sector and operating in an uncertain global business environment. While all new industries present challenges, Puro believes it has the right people and the right systems in place to navigate these uncertainties and continue to develop its commercial production.

    Puro has a comprehensive risk management framework which enables the Board of Directors and management to regularly and systematically assess the likelihood of existing and potential risks occurring, the impact they may have and develop controls and mitigation strategies to protect the sustainability of the business.

    Further commentary around the risks and challenges are available in the Information Memorandum.

    A note from PledgeMe

    We have completed Veda checks on the company, Puro New Zealand Limited, and the nominee company, Puro Shareholding Limited, and their Directors, as well as Google checks. Articles were found relating to previous directors, and irregular behaviour by a non-related cannabis company. Puro directors are confident Puro has managed these issues appropriately. There were no other adverse findings.

      Offer Details

      Current Valuation 34,336,025
      Raise Minimum 100,000
      Raise Maximum 2,000,000
      Share Price 1.15
      Minimum Pledge 2,500.10
      Maximum Shares Offered 1,739,130
      Explanation of valuation:

      The pre-raise value of $34,336,025 is based on 29,857,413 shares currently on issue at $1.15 per share. This price compares to Puro’s previous raise in 2019 at $1.00 per share which was oversubscribed by both wholesale and retail investors.

      This valuation is an assessment of value by the Puro directors using their knowledge,
      experience and expertise. It is based on the considerable investments Puro has made to
      date into specialised equipment, long-term infrastructure, key staff recruitment and system
      development. The Puro directors believe this assessment represents fair value and is
      attractive both to new shareholders, some of whom missed out on the previous Puro capital
      raise, and existing shareholders who wish to increase their investment.

      Financial Information:
      The medical cannabis sector in which Puro operates in is a new industry and developing at a
      rapid pace. Puro is at the beginning of the value chain as a specialist grower. While interest
      in Puro’s products is strong, regulatory delays and wider impacts of COVID-19 are impacting
      the industry. This has led to delays and difficulties in predicting revenue streams. The fast-paced nature of this ne
      w industry, and fluidity around international market access, regulatory
      understanding and manufacturing, has resulted in the Puro board determining that, while
      they have financial information prepared for internal purposes and as an assessment of
      value, it is not prudent or practicable to formulate reasonable assumptions on which to base
      prospective financial information for investors.

      Historical financial information and an analysis of the global markets and key implications and opportunities for Puro is provided in the Information Memorandum.

      Please note: We are only issuing whole shares. As the share price is $1.15, your desired pledge amount will be rounded up or down to the closest number of whole shares. For example, the minimum pledge possible is actually $2,500.10 if rounded to the closest number of whole shares.

      Hi Tim - exciting to see your offer be so well supported. II would like to invest, but is it too late? I went through pledge process only to realise at the end that there is no more shares to allocate. Justin

      Posted on 15-04-2021 by Justin Strang

      Hi Justin. Thank you, we are very fortunate to have such incredible support from our shareholders and investment community. The offer is now full, however PledgeMe will commence a validation process to ensure every investor meets AML and NZ residency compliance. If an investor is deemed ineligible for any reason, we will look to withdraw their pledge and replace from a waitlist, which is to be formed shortly. Please keep an eye out on our website to register your interest at www.puro.co.nz/invest (this page will be updated shortly).

"This private capital raise is for our shareholders and registered investors only. This is your chance to own a stake in Puro." Is there a seperate offer for existing and waitlist investors or is this offer on pledgeme the same thing?

      Hi, I have 5000 shares from the last investment round that I am quite keen to sell (for personal reasons). If there is the opportunity to sell these during this campaign (maybe in smaller tranches to anyone that can't afford the 2500 minimum specified in this offer? Or if over-subscribed for example??) Then I would be very keen to do this. Please advise if this is an option at all. I appreciate any assistance.

      How can you value 10 Hectares at $2,000,000. At 3500 pounds a hectare, that seems to equate to 57$ a pound. Can you please justify this price? US hemp prices right now are at $5 a pound max.

      Posted on 10-04-2021 by Reid Stewart

      Thanks for your question. While you are correct, 2020 pricing has hemp CBD ‘biomass' varying from $7USD to $40USD per pound, and CBG Biomass averaging $61USD per pound; our product is not biomass (low potency).

      Puro has the ability to produce large volumes of slow-dried, high potency top flower. Global marketplaces out the average price of high potency CBD and CBG flower around $US160 per pound. Our forecasting and projections for the next 5+ years have been erring on the side of caution.

      We also foresee the marketplace paying by the price of API (price per milligram of CBD for example) - so we are confident that with correct cultivar selection, and our premium growing environment and organic methodologies - we will be able to command a suitable price for Puro flower.

      I assume the $2 Million of biological assets is cannabis. Just wondering how you have valued these assets and if you are expecting revenue of $2M from the sale of these assets over the next 12 months? (Your reveue forecast currently shows $0 for the next 2 years).

      Posted on 30-03-2021 by Jacob Boyes

      Yes, the Biological Assets consist of the cannabis plants still in the ground at 31 December 2020. The relevant principles of International Accounting Standards (IAS 41 — Agriculture) have been applied in determining the value shown – and that is to measure the assets at fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Our forecasts, including revenues, have been prepared for internal purposes. Please refer to the Information Memorandum for commentary explaining why it is not prudent to provide these to investors as part of this offer. Regards, Tim

      Answered on 30-03-2021 by Tim Aldridge


      Are you able to give more specifics on how the cash will be used? In the prospectus it sounds like you will mainly be investing in capital, however, there is only $800k cash on hand and you have forecast no revenue for the next 2 years. With about $600k in payables and having burnt through $1 million cash last year seems like a lot of it will just be used to keep the lights on. Do you also expect to be doing further capital raises to sure up your cash position in the near future?

      Posted on 30-03-2021 by Jacob Boyes

      The new capital introduced by this raise will be used to develop our indoor breeding facility at Waihopai Valley and for working capital. We also have a subsequent wholesale raise which will primarily be used to fund the first commercial glasshouse. There are no further capital raises planned at this stage. The directors have managed Puro’s investments carefully and strategically, with the funds invested to date enabling the construction of significant infrastructure, importation of seed genetics and the planting of NZ’s first large-scale medical cannabis crop. Please refer to the Information Memorandum regarding commentary on forecasts, which have been prepared for internal purposes. Thanks Tim

      Posted on 25-03-2021 by Janive Harrison

      Hi Jan. Thanks for your question. The minimum investment threshold has increased for this offer and the directors believe this is suitable given the progress and position Puro is in today. The funds invested previously have been use to build out the infrastructure and equipment required to undertake NZ’s biggest cannabis farm. We outline this further on page 20 of the Information Memorandum. Thanks, Tim

      RE Jacob Boyes comment. I agree with him. Looks like you have forgotten the smaller investors who helped you get started. Maybe a $1000 lower limit may have been the go.

      Posted on 24-03-2021 by Geoff Hawke

      Hi Geoff. It is always difficult to set investment thresholds and we do appreciate your feedback - thank you. As per above, the directors felt $2,500 was a suitable minimum given the progress and position Puro is in today, with facilities built and our commercial harvest due to commence next week. We do value our smaller investors immensely. In setting the minimum investment level for this offer we reviewed our current shareholding levels and found the majority of our shareholders sit above that $2,500 investment level, which also gave the directors confidence that this threshold is at the right level for the business today. Thanks, Tim

      Answered on 25-03-2021 by Tim Aldridge

      Warning statement about equity crowdfunding

      Equity crowdfunding is risky.

      Issuers using this facility include new or rapidly growing ventures. Investment in these types of business is very speculative and carries high risks.

      You may lose your entire investment, and must be in a position to bear this risk without undue hardship.

      New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This requires those offering financial products to have disclosed information that is important for investors to make an informed decision.

      The usual rules do not apply to offers by issuers using this facility. As a result, you may not be given all the information usually required. You will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.

      Ask questions, read all information given carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing yourself.
