(“Cornerstone” or “the Company”) (TSXV:CGP) (Frankfurt:GWN) (Berlin:GWN) (OTC:CTNXF) announces a non-brokered private placement of up to 1.38 million common shares at an issue price of $5.00 per common share for total gross proceeds of up to $6.9 million (the “Offering”).
The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. Certain insiders of the Company may participate in the Offering.

Completion of the Offering is subject to applicable regulatory approvals, including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Offering is expected to close in December 2020.
The Company has engaged Canaccord Genuity Corp. to act as its financial advisor for the Offering. Finder's fees may be payable by Cornerstone in connection with the Offering.
The shares issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four-month hold period under applicable securities laws in Canada.
