SACRAMENTO, Calif., March 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vibe Bioscience Ltd. (CSE: VIBE) (the “Company” or “Vibe”), a vertically integrated cannabis retailer and cultivator is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary has entered into an acquisition agreement (the “NGEV Purchase Agreement”) to acquire a 13,500 square foot cannabis cultivation facility (“Cultivation Facility”) in Crescent City, California. Under the NGEV Purchase Agreement with security holders (collectively, the “NGEV Vendors”) of NGEV, Inc. (“NGEV”), Vibe’s subsidiary acquire all issued and outstanding shares of NGEV. The acquisition will be completed with the issuance of 600,000 common shares of Vibe and the assumption of approximately US$463,000 in term debt, subject to the terms and conditions of the NGEV Purchase Agreement.
NGEV, a corporation organized under the laws of California, owns a production facility, cannabis cultivation equipment and leases land in Crescent City, California. The cultivation facility provides a turnkey operation that has historically produced cannabis flower, clones and seeds. In addition to the immediate synergies with Vibe’s California operations, the leased land offers a future expansion opportunity to increase the cultivation canopy by up to 40%. The transaction will provide Vibe with a second licensed facility and is expected to enhance the profitability of Vibe’s Hype Cannabis Co. branded products.
“We expect this acquisition to generate shareholder value by growing our market share and generating additional brand equity. It will also support our expanding retail assets, improve margins, and profitability through vertical integration. I strongly believe the NGEV Acquisition represents a unique and strategic opportunity to add cultivation capacity to our existing Hype Cannabis Co. high-quality flower, distillate vape cartridges and wax concentrates,” said CEO Mark Waldon.
The completion of the NGEV Acquisition is subject to, among other things, the receipt of regulatory approvals (including, if required, the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange), receipt of certain consents from third parties, and the satisfaction or waiver of closing conditions. Vibe intends to commence cultivation operations immediately upon receipt of all written regulatory approvals. Completion of the NGEV Acquisition is expected to occur on or about April 15, 2020.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States.

Unlike in Canada which has Federal legislation uniformly governing the cultivation, distribution, sale and possession of medical cannabis under the Cannabis Act (Federal), readers are cautioned that in the U.S., cannabis is largely regulated at the State level. To the knowledge of Vibe Bioscience Ltd., there are to date a total of 33 states, plus the District of Columbia, that have legalized cannabis in some form. Notwithstanding the permissive regulatory environment of medical cannabis at the State level, cannabis continues to be categorized as a controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act in the U.S. and as such, cannabis-related practices or activities, including without limitation, the manufacture, importation, possession, use or distribution of cannabis are illegal under U.S. Federal law. Strict compliance with State laws with respect to cannabis will neither absolve Vibe Bioscience Ltd. of liability under the U.S. Federal law, nor will it provide a defense to any Federal proceeding, which may be brought against Vibe Bioscience Ltd. Any such proceedings brought against Vibe Bioscience Ltd. may adversely affect its operations and financial performance.
