Abba Medix Group Inc. (cse:ABA) (“Abba” or the “Company”), formerly Saratoga Electronic Solutions Inc., is pleased to report it has entered into a definitive Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of 9037136 Canada Inc., a private company operating and known as Redecan Pharm (“Redecan”), from Mr. Richard Redekop (“Redekop”). The Agreement was made following the entering into of a Letter of Intent the Company reported April 6, 2015.

Summary of Redecan

Redecan is focused on developing premium quality medical marijuana products and Redekop is a licensed producer and seller, able to cultivate marijuana under the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (“MMPR”) in Canada. Redekop obtained a medical marijuana license to undertake the production of medical marijuana in July 2014 and in March 2015 was awarded a full production and sales license. Redekop (also operating under the name Redecan Pharm), is currently listed as one of the seventeen persons in Canada to obtain such a license to date. Redekop has applied to Health Canada to transfer and assign his MMPR license to Redecan. If such transfer is approved, the principal focus of Redecan will be the production of medical marijuana from its fully secured, 15,000 square-foot greenhouse production facility in Niagara, Ontario.

Summary of the Transaction

Under the terms of the share purchase transaction (the “Transaction”), Abba shall pay to Redekop an aggregate consideration of approximately CDN $11,000,000, in cash and shares of the Company. Abba agreed to acquire all of the shares of Redecan for a purchase price consisting of CDN $8,000,000 plus 6,000,000 shares of Abba with a deemed notional value of CDN $0.50 per share, for a total deemed value of CDN $11,000,000. The consideration payable is subject to decrease for any liabilities and indebtedness of Redecan outstanding as of March 12, 2015, and for any decrease in Redecan’s working capital as a result of medical marijuana sales after March 12, 2015. The consideration payable is subject to increase for expenses incurred by Redecan for the purpose of leasehold improvements to the production facility after January 31, 2015, and for any GST/HST input tax credits relating to the operation of the business up to January 31, 2015.

The Transaction is conditional upon regulatory approval, including approval of the transfer of the MMPR license from Redekop to Redecan and any required third party consents.

Closing of the Transaction is expected to be at a mutually agreed date no later than June 12, 2015, subject to extension if Health Canada has not approved the transfer of the MMPR license by Redekop to Redecan by that date. On closing, Abba will pay to Redekop, CDN $3,000,000 in cash and issue a promissory note in the amount of CDN $5,000,000 bearing interest of 4% to be paid as follows: CDN $2,000,000 plus 4% per annum interest six months after closing; CDN $2,000,000 plus 4% per annum interest twelve months after closing; and $1,000,000 plus 4% per annum interest fifteen months after closing. In addition, Abba will issue to Redekop on closing 6,000,000 common shares representing 8.92% of Abba’s issued and outstanding capital stock (not including any outstanding warrants or any additional shares issued after the date of the Agreement).

As of the changeover date, deemed the close of business on March 12, 2015, Redekop’s licensed business has been and will continue to be operated for the benefit of Abba.

On closing Abba will also deliver a share pledge agreement as security for its promissory note and pursuant to that agreement Abba will not a) deal with Redecan’s MMPR Consent b) change the existing MMPR designations of Redecan’s employees until all amounts owing have been paid or without written consent.

Effective March 12, 2015 and continuing post-closing, management shall continue to provide their services pursuant to employment agreements with Redecan which, inter alia, make provision for performance-based incentive bonus based on the profits earned by the existing production facilities of Redecan.

Pursuant to the Transaction, Redekop, or his designate, has been invited to have a position on Abba’s Board of Directors, subject to any requirements of the CSE. In addition, and subject to receiving any required consent from Health Canada and any other necessary consent, the new Board of Directors of Redecan will be restructured to provide for five (5) directors, three (3) of whom will be nominated by Abba and two (2) of whom will be nominated by Redekop.

Commenting on the transaction, Mr. Ahmad Ray Rasouli, CEO of Abba stated, “We are very pleased to announce this vital transaction. Working with Richard and his team at Redecan these last few months we recognized their commitment to excellence in the medical marijuana field. We are delighted to have the opportunity to continue to work with Richard and his team to build a national, Canadian medical marijuana brand we can all be proud of.”
