SmartKem, Inc. entered into a private placement, issuing senior secured notes with an aggregate principal amount of $1,100,000 and warrants exercisable for up to 400,000 shares at $2.75 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000. The notes mature on April 30, 2026, bear no interest unless an event of default occurs (then up to 10% per annum or the legal maximum), and are not convertible.

Purchasers received piggy-back registration rights.
