Khiron Closes Revolving Credit Facility with Financing Company in Colombia

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 14, 2023) - Khiron Life Sciences Corp. (TSXV: KHRN) (OTCQB: KHRNF) (FSE: A2JMZC) ("Khiron" or the "Company"), announces that its wholly owned subsidiary Zerenia^TM Colombia has closed an unsecured revolving credit facility of CAD 580,000¹ with a private financing company in Colombia.

The 12-month revolving credit facility became effective on February 10, 2023, and was provided by a Colombian private financing company. The Company was granted this working capital credit line after having established a relationship with the financing company over the past year. Khiron's unique business model with a growing patient base has been strengthened by the recent accomplishments including mandatory insurance coverage in Colombia, NHS coverage in the UK, and the engagement of Colombia's largest public insurance company, Capital Salud.

Alvaro Torres, CEO of Khiron, comments: "Today is a fantastic day for our medical cannabis business. Over the past years, we have gained the trust of patients, governments, large insurance companies and now also financing companies. This credit line is a testimony to our credit-worthy company and marks an inflection point of our business. Having access to non-dilutive capital for the first time in the company's history is something we have been working on for quite some time. We will use this momentum to continue building relationships with the traditional banking and financing sector, as our Company continues to grow and achieve profitability."

Revolving Credit Terms

The unsecured revolving credit line provided to Zerenia SAS bears an annual interest rate of DTF + 10.5%².
