TORONTOSept. 20, 2018 /CNW/ – FSD Pharma Inc. (“FSD” or the “Company”) (CSE:HUGE) is pleased to announce that pursuant to the approved construction and development budget announced on July 3, 2018 (Link), Auxly Cannabis Group Inc. (TSX.V – XLY) (“Auxly”) has made an equity investment into the Company at $1.00 per Class B Subordinate Voting Share for total proceeds of $7.5 million.

FSD Pharma Inc. (CNW Group/FSD Pharma Inc.)

All of the securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a hold period expiring on January 20, 2019.

Proceeds of the financing will be deployed toward construction of the 220,000 square foot cultivation footprint that FSD and Auxly are jointly developing pursuant to their strategic alliance and streaming agreement previously announced on March 5, 2018 (the “Joint Cultivation Footprint”) (Link). The buildout of the Joint Cultivation Footprint is currently underway in Cobourg, Ontario and will include dedicated space for large scale extraction capabilities.

In addition to the Joint Cultivation Footprint, FSD is also implementing several technological advancements at the Cobourg facility aimed at increasing energy efficiency and post-harvest process automation. These advancements are anticipated to benefit the environment and the community of Cobourg through less demand on the local electricity grid and will reduce operating expenses to the Company.

Anthony Durkacz, Director of FSD Pharma commented, “We are honored by the investment from our partner Auxly and the faith they have placed in us considering this investment is being made at a premium to the current market price. We are moving ahead with plans to building out the world’s largest cannabis indoor hydroponic grow operation and working toward a Nasdaq listing.”

“Our investment in FSD demonstrates our belief and commitment to FSD as a flagship partner and their ability to cultivate the highest quality indoor hydroponic cannabis at scale while effectively managing operating costs in a competitive marketplace” stated Hugo Alves, President and Director of Auxly.  “We are happy with the construction progress at our joint project in Cobourg, Ontario and are very much looking forward to continuing to work with the FSD team and helping them achieve their goal of being a global player in the premium cannabis market.
