The facility is a light deprivation greenhouse facility with approximately 15,000 square feet and an additional 2,000 square feet of indoor space used to manage the Business.
DENVER, Aug. 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — General Cannabis Corp (OTCQX: CANN) (the “Company”), the comprehensive national resource to the regulated cannabis industry, today announced that it has entered into a non-binding term sheet to acquire substantially all of the assets of a licensed recreational cannabis cultivator in Colorado (the “Business”).
The seller of the Business operates a light deprivation greenhouse facility with approximately 15,000 square feet and an additional 2,000 square feet of indoor space used to manage the Business.
This potential transaction follows the Company’s recent announcement of its entry into a non-binding term sheet to acquire substantially all of the assets of The Organic Seed, LLC, doing business as Cannaseur. The Company is taking these actions based on the signing of Colorado House Bill 1090 (“HB-1090”), a recently approved law allowing public companies to own Colorado-licensed cannabis companies.
Once the regulations surrounding the implementation of the law are finalized, the Company plans to enter into a binding transaction for the Business.It is anticipated that General Cannabis will pay consideration consisting of half cash and half in shares of the Company’s common stock for virtually all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Business. The number of common shares issued at closing will be determined based on the 30-day volume weighted average price, subject to a ceiling and a floor.
The term sheet also provides that General Cannabis will enter into a five-year lease for the cultivation facility with options for extension and the management team of the Business will stay on after the acquisition.
“We are pleased to announce our plans to acquire a second licensed Colorado cannabis operator,” said Michael Feinsod, Executive Chairman and CEO of General Cannabis. “This facility will pair us with a premier cultivator and expands our solid base for us to leverage our skill set as HB-1090 is implemented. We look forward to integrating this facility, and its team, into the General Cannabis family. This acquisition will bring our anticipated cultivation space to approximately 30,000 square feet.” “Colorado has been the national leader in legalized cannabis rollout. With statewide trailing twelve-month retail sales of over $1.5 billion, we believe Colorado cannabis cultivators and retailers are poised to take advantage of this new significant access to the public capital markets,” said Feinsod. “The leading operators in Colorado have achieved success operating at scale and, we believe, are excellent acquisition candidates. We plan to continue to acquire additional licensed cannabis assets within Colorado and other regulated markets. Our strong platform can create a synergistic opportunity for Colorado operators looking to grow with us.”
