"The sale of our equity stake and royalty in AltMed advances our stated strategy of realizing value for shareholders on assets that are deemed non-core to our business. The substantial gains from our successful investment in AltMed will provide CannaRoyalty with capital to continue to expand its distribution and brand network in the California market, while offering CannaRoyalty shareholders a significant return on investment," said Marc Lustig, Chairman and CEO of CannaRoyalty.

"We were early to identify the long term potential in AltMed and MüV as vital players in the North American cannabis value chain and are confident that the businesses will be valuable additions to Tidal Royalty's diverse portfolio. As CannaRoyalty continues to grow and build a solid presence in California, we look forward to partnering with the experienced team at Tidal Royalty." Mr. Lustig added.  

The aggregate consideration of $8 million will be in a combination of cash and Tidal Royalty's stock. Closing of the transaction is subject to, among other things, the satisfactory completion of due diligence, which is currently underway, and the receipt of all corporate and regulatory approvals.
