News

MPX Bioceutical Corporation(“MPX” or the “Company”) (CSE:MPX) (OTC:MPXEF) is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares (the “Canveda Shares”) of 8423695 Canada Inc. operating as Canveda (“Canveda”), as previously announced on April 17, 2018. Canveda is a Licensed Producer under Health Canada’s Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations having received its Cultivation License on June 12, 2017.

Canveda’s fully built-out 12,000 square foot facility, located in Peterborough, Ontario, is ready to commence its first production run and is capable of producing 1,000-1,200 kilograms of high quality cannabis flower annually.

Terms of Acquisition

MPX has acquired all the Canveda Shares for a total purchase price of CDN$18,120,000 comprised of the following consideration:

 

  • CDN$3,120,000 in cash;
  • CDN$15,000,000 satisfied through the issuance of 21,428,571 common shares in the capital of MPX (the “MPX Shares”) issued at a price of CDN$0.70 per MPX Share; and
  • the issuance of 6,000,000 common share purchase warrants each exercisable into one (1) MPX Share at an exercise price of CDN$0.84 for a period of five (5) years from the date of issuance.

 

“With the acquisition of Canveda, MPX has established a foothold in Canada to develop a vertically integrated business from seed to sale,” said Michael Arnkvarn, Executive Vice-President and Chief Marketing Officer. “The next phase will be to expand our relationship with Panaxia, a leader in the utilization of medical cannabis in pharmaceutical solutions, to include Canada and to finalize strategic alignments with existing marijuana business enterprises that will shorten our path to a sustainable and profitable Canadian presence. We have acquired a tremendous amount of expertise in the production and marketing of cannabis oils, cannabis derivatives and cannabinoid-infused products, and in employing multiple delivery formats in the United States. We will leverage this knowledge to manufacture and distribute these products in Canada as they become approved for sale by Health Canada.”

“The Canveda acquisition should accelerate our ability to secure cultivation, sale and dealer licenses at our Owen Sound facility,” adds W. Scott Boyes, Chairman, President and CEO of MPX. “Entering into the Canadian market leverages our success in the United States to become a dominant North American marijuana enterprise and will allow us to explore new markets internationally. We believe that current and planned cultivation by existing licensed producers will oversupply the domestic market. Instead, we plan to focus on the production, distribution and retailing of high quality cannabis distillates and derivative products for the domestic medical and adult use markets and for export to the growing list of countries legalizing the use of medical cannabis.”

MPX has agreed to pay a finder’s fee equal to 1% of the purchase price in MPX Shares at the deemed price of $0.70 per MPX Share to Stoic Advisory Inc., an independent Toronto-based corporate finance advisory firm working with companies across the global cannabis industry.
