BevCanna Enterprises Inc (CSE:BEV) (OTCMKTS:BVNNF) said it has strengthened its balance sheet and preserved cash amid these uncertain times by settling a debt with the issue of shares.

The firm owed Naturo Group Investments Inc for a strategic advance, which was a debt of C$197,000, and so issued it with 492,750 shares at a deemed price of C$0.40.

Naturo is controlled by Marcello Leone, Bevcanna's chief executive, chairman and a director.
