(CSE: ERTH) (OTCQB: VVIVF) (“EarthRenew” or the “Company“), owner of leading regenerative fertilizer producer Replenish Nutrients, is pleased to announce that it has amended the terms of its previously announced offering of units (the “Units”) of the Company.

The Units will be offered on a best efforts basis by Eight Capital, as lead agent and sole bookrunner, and Raymond James Ltd.
