AUXLY ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF INVERELL S.A. ACQUISITION

Further to its previous releases, Auxly Cannabis Group Inc. has completed the acquisition of 80 per cent of the outstanding common shares of Inverell SA.

The transaction positions the company as a leader in the global cannabidiol economy with a highly efficient, low-cost source of cannabinoids for international distribution, including through the company's strategic partnership with ICC International Cannabis Corp. Inc. which provides the company with access to 16 markets through a network of 35,000 pharmacies. Importantly, the low-cost, high-purity CBD produced by Inverell gives the company a long-term and stable supply of CBD to support the research, development and manufacturing of cannabis-derived products at Dosecann Inc., the company's wholly owned licensed processor facility located in Prince Edward Island, Canada.

Under the terms of the transaction, the shareholders of Inverell received aggregate consideration of approximately $15-million (U.S.), payable as follows:

  • $2-million (U.S.) in cash paid on closing;
  • $3,562,500 (U.S.), which was paid via the issuance on closing of 1,927,343 common shares of the company at a price of $2.28 (Canadian) (1);
  • $9,437,500 (U.S.), which will be paid via the issuance of 5,105,769 common shares of the company at a price per share of $2.28 (Canadian) (1) per share, to be held in escrow pending the achievement of certain milestones following closing, including the successful registration of Inverell's cannabis genetics and the successful exportation of CBD products.

(1) At the U.S./Canadian-dollar exchange rate of $1.2335.

Hugo Alves, president and director of Auxly Cannabis Group, commented: "We are incredibly pleased with progress that Inverell has made on the cultivation of its 2019 crop of CBD-rich hemp and on the broader development of the business as a stand-alone entity in the Auxly platform. In a very short period, Inverell has exceeded its 2018 planting target of 150 hectares of hemp plants and has made significant strides forward on the development of its world-class extraction facility located in the Parque de las Ciencias. We continue to believe that the low-cost and high-volume access to CBD molecules, through our ownership in Inverell, positions Auxly to be a leader in the global value-added cannabinoid-based product markets."
