XS Financial Provides A $13M Capex Lease Facility To Connected Cannabis

XS Financial Inc. XSHLF XSF, a specialty finance company providing CAPEX and equipment financing solutions to cannabis companies in the United States, has entered into a new lease agreement with Connected International Inc., a vertically integrated California operator with additional operations in Florida and Arizona.

Connected has been approved for a $13 million CAPEX lease facility, with an immediate drawdown of over $4.4 million for a sale-leaseback and to purchase equipment with up to 60-month terms. This equipment acquisition will enhance the capabilities of existing processing facilities and buildouts for their California and Arizona operations.

Greg Fodell, VP of corporate development of Connected International stated: "This non-dilutive financing will accelerate Connected's ability to expand its highly sought products into new markets. Working with XSF was seamless and transparent. We were able to unlock capital from existing CAPEX investments via their sale-leaseback program, and their internal procurement team provided significant value-add throughout the process. XS has proven to be a great partner."

Antony Radbod, COO of XS Financial stated: "We are pleased to support Connected as they continue their expansion in California and Arizona and believe this funding will be a catalyst for their next phase of growth. Connected is a highly-recognized brand known best for their genetics and co-brand, Alien Labs. While the capital markets in our industry continue to be constrained, XS remains enthusiastic about the U.S. cannabis market, and supporting its operating leaders for all of their CAPEX financing needs."
