TORONTO-April 07, 2021-(BUSINESS WIRE)–Heritage Cannabis Holdings Corp. (CSE:CANN) (OTCQX:HERTF) (“Heritage” or the “Company”), today announced that it has expanded its relationship with Merida Capital Holdings (“Merida”) to leverage Merida’s strategic portfolio of companies in the sector and rapidly advance the Company’s U.S. product distribution strategy.
Upon closing of the Premium 5 acquisition in January 2021, Merida, the largest non-insider investor in Premium 5 became a strategic shareholder in Heritage. The agreement will see the two companies partnering to strategically expand Heritage’s product distribution in the U.S. This relationship will see the Company introducing its brands and products into select states where medical and/or recreational cannabis is legal, or soon expected to be, focusing initially in Michigan, Missouri, West Virginia, and California.
“Entering the U.S. cannabis market with a clear path and strong partner is a pivotal and transformational moment for Heritage,” stated David Schwede, President of Heritage. “The work done over the past three months with integrating Premium 5, increasing working capital and removing restrictive lending covenants has laid the foundation for today’s announcement. We are excited to reveal more of our vision to create shareholder value through this accretive expansion. Further, our growing relationship with Merida underscores the strength of the business and will accelerate our state by state expansion and access to nine purposefully selected U.S. markets, including the initial four we’re targeting immediately. This is the start of a number of strategic pursuits planned to drive higher profitability and leverage our growing brand portfolio.”
Merida Partner Max Gerard commented: “Merida is excited to strengthen our relationship with Heritage and introduce Heritage’s extraction expertise and Premium 5’s brand capabilities to our portfolio of 50+ companies. We specifically believe this relationship will create incredible synergies for our limited license operators, which will immediately open shelf space to Premium 5’s products in large markets like Michigan and Missouri.”
