Skye Bioscience Reports that Emerald Health Therapeutics Shareholders Voted in Favor of Plan of Arrangement with Skye https://mjshareholders.com/skye-bioscience-reports-that-emerald-health-therapeutics-shareholders-voted-in-favor-of-plan-of-arrangement-with-skye/ Sun, 21 Aug 2022 14:31:49 +0000 https://www.cannabisfn.com/?p=2959442

San Diego, California, August 19, 2022 — Skye Bioscience, Inc. (OTCQB: SKYE) (“Skye” or the “Company”), a pharmaceutical company developing a proprietary, synthetic cannabinoid derivative to treat glaucoma, reports that the shareholders of Emerald Health Therapeutics, Inc. (“Emerald” or the “Company”) (CSE: EMH; OTCQB: EMHTF) today approved the proposed plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) with Skye, with approval by 87.07% of votes cast by shareholders for that resolution. The Arrangement resolution also received majority of the minority approval, excluding interested parties, pursuant to applicable law.

Emerald will now seek a final order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia to approve the Arrangement.

Completion of the Arrangement remains subject to approval by the shareholders of Skye, which is expected to be obtained at Skye’s shareholder meeting to be held in October or November, subject to SEC review of the proxy, if applicable. The transaction is expected to close shortly thereafter, subject to Skye obtaining listing approval from the CSE and satisfaction of other customary conditions.

“We are very pleased to see strong voting participation by Emerald Health Therapeutics shareholders at this meeting and their clear support of the proposal to merge with Skye Bioscience,” said Punit Dhillon, CEO and Chair of Skye. “We are preparing for Skye’s shareholder meeting to vote on the plan of arrangement, and we continue to take the required steps to start our planned Phase 1 study in the fourth quarter.”

Updates
Emerald has substantially completed the wind-down of its cannabis operations and is working to exit remaining leases and to find a purchaser for its Quebec production facility.

Skye has regulatory approval to start its Phase 1 clinical study. It has also announced that it expects its contract manufacturer to start manufacturing Skye’s placebo and SBI-100 drug products for the Phase I clinical study to establish the safety and tolerability of SBI-100 in early September.

Skye has also announced that it expects to complete its Phase I clinical study enrollment in early 2023 and to release interim data from that study in Q2 2023.

Skye expects to file its Investigational New Drug application with the US FDA before the end of 2022 to obtain clearance to initiate a United States Phase II study in the first half of 2023. This study will assess the efficacy of SBI-100 in treating patients with primary open angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Skye expects to report data from this study by year-end 2023.

Glaucoma affects over 70 million people in the world and its prevalence is increasing. This disease has needs that are not fulfilled by current drugs and there is a significant opportunity to beneficially affect patients with a novel class of drug such as SBI-100.

About Skye Bioscience
Skye Bioscience is a pharmaceutical company unlocking the potential of cannabinoids through the development of its proprietary cannabinoid derivatives to treat diseases with significant unmet needs. The company’s lead program, SBI-100 OE, is focused on developing a treatment for glaucoma, the world’s leading cause of irreversible blindness.

Irwin Naturals Begins Rollup of Psychedelic Mental Health Clinics https://mjshareholders.com/irwin-naturals-begins-rollup-of-psychedelic-mental-health-clinics/ Wed, 09 Feb 2022 21:13:54 +0000 https://www.cannabisfn.com/?p=2937177

Psychedelics, Top News


LOS ANGELES, Feb. 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Irwin Naturals Inc. (CSE: IWIN) (OTC: IWINF) (FRA: 97X) (“Irwin” or the “Company”) announced today it has taken the first step in the execution of its ketamine clinic rollup strategy – a move the Company says is motivated by an intention to become the world’s largest chain of psychedelic mental health clinics.

This first acquisition target is Midwest Ketafusion (“Ketafusion”) in Iowa City, Iowa. Irwin Naturals Emergence (“Irwin Emergence”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Irwin, and the shareholders of Midwest Ketafusion, LLC have entered into a definitive agreement (“Agreement”) dated February 7, 2022, pursuant to which Irwin Emergence will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Ketafusion.

Irwin’s CEO, Klee Irwin, said, “The leadership showed by Ketafusion in this space, and the access to care they are providing their fellow Iowans make this first upcoming acquisition in our national roll-up all the more exciting. Additionally, with a large proportion of the consideration being back-end loaded and earn-out based, the sellers, who will remain with the business, are aligned with our shareholders’ interests. With each acquired clinic to be renamed Irwin Naturals Emergence, we are the world’s first household name to enter the space and are executing towards becoming the largest clinic chain in the world.”

Irwin continued, “We see ourselves as gaining the national brand first mover advantage and will be leveraging our brand equity and status as a cult brand to expand rapidly as society embraces the psychedelic mental health revolution. This is important because, as a psychedelic, ketamine is a stunningly effective treatment for many mental health disorders. However, some Americans are not clear on its legality, safety and effectiveness. With nearly 80% of US households familiar with the trusted Irwin brand, it will be the welcome face of a familiar friend in a crowd of strangers – making this lifesaving solution a bit less intimidating to those in need1.”

Founder and CEO of Ketafusion, Charlie Hong commented, “What impressed us about Irwin’s’ approach to America’s mental health crisis is their philosophy of using their existing national scale to drive down patient costs, while being profitable at all stages of the expansion. That’s unusual. Many of the publicly traded players in the space have business models that justify losing money and charge non-accessible prices to patients. Furthermore, the team at Irwin has proven itself in being capable of building a national brand with an exceptionally faithful customer base. We are looking forward to working with Irwin and the team and being part of taking this great brand nationwide, making mental healthcare accessible to all.”

Transaction Terms

The Agreement is subject to certain customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. As consideration under this Agreement, Irwin will issue subordinate voting shares (“SVS”) and proportionate voting shares in the capital of Irwin, equivalent to 750,000 SVS on an as-converted to SVS basis, at a deemed price of C$3.80 (US$3.00) per SVS and assume approximately US$116,000 of debt at closing. Midwest Ketafusion’s management team will remain in place following the acquisition. There are no finder’s fees payable by the Company in connection with the transaction.

The shareholder of Ketafusion will be eligible to receive additional consideration based on certain conditions. If in the first 5 years after closing, Ketafusion earns an adjusted EBITDA of USD $1 million during a calendar year in the allotted period, Ketafusion would receive Irwin shares having an aggregate value of USD $5 million. The value of Irwin shares issued for the above mentioned additional consideration is based on the volume weighted average closing price of the subordinate voting shares on the facilities of the CSE or such recognized Canadian or other senior stock exchange on which the subordinate voting shares are then trading for the five trading days immediately prior to the date the Clinic satisfies the applicable conditions or such other price as may be mandated by the applicable policies of such exchange.

About Midwest Ketafusion

Our mission is to help our patients have a better tomorrow by providing the most advanced care available on the market. Midwest Ketafusion®️is an infusion clinic that offers intravenous (IV) ketamine for the treatment of depression, PTSD, OCD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, migraines, and multiple chronic pain conditions such as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), and fibromyalgia. We are Iowa City’s first and only infusion clinic offering evidence-based ketamine treatments. Our board certified, licensed providers are here to serve you in a peaceful, quiet office setting.

To contact the Company’s Investor Relations department, please call toll-free at (800) 883-4851 or send an email to [email protected].

Regulatory Overview

The following is a brief summary of regulatory matters concerning ketamine in the United States (“US”). Under the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 811) (the “CSA”), ketamine is currently a Schedule III drug as well as being listed under the associated Narcotic Control Regulations, and psilocybin is currently a Schedule I drug.

Most US States have enacted Controlled Substances Acts (“State CSAs”) which regulate the possession, use, sale, distribution, and manufacture of specified drugs or categories of drugs and establish penalties for State CSA violations and form the basis for much state and local drug laws enforcement activity. State CSAs have either adopted drug schedules identical or similar to the federal CSA schedules or, in some instances, have incorporated the federal scheduling mechanism. Among other requirements, some US States have established a prescription drug monitoring or review program to collect information about prescription and dispensing of controlled substances for the purposes of monitoring, analysis and education.

In the US, facilities holding or administering controlled substances must be registered with the US Drug Enforcement Agency (“DEA“) to perform this activity. As such, medical professionals and/or the clinics in which they operate, as applicable, are also required to have a DEA license to obtain and administer ketamine (a “DEA License“). While ketamine is a controlled substance in the United States, it is approved for general anesthetic induction under the US Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Once a drug is approved for use, physicians may prescribe that drug for uses that are not described in the product’s labelling or that differ from those tested by the manufacturer and approved by the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA“). Licensed medical practitioners may prescribe ketamine legally in Canada or the United States where they believe it will be an effective treatment in their professional judgment.

Please see Irwin’s filing statement on its SEDAR profile for more information on the regulatory environment and regulations surrounding the US THC industry.

CALGARY, AB and EDMONTON, ABJan. 6, 2022 /CNW/ – Sundial Growers Inc. (NASDAQ: SNDL) (“Sundial“) and Alcanna Inc. (TSX: CLIQ) (“Alcanna“) announce that Sundial has agreed to improve the consideration to be provided to Alcanna shareholders (the “Alcanna Shareholders“) for their common shares of Alcanna (each, an “Alcanna Share“) pursuant to the previously announced plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “Arrangement“) by including a cash component.

Sundial Growers Inc. logo (CNW Group/Sundial Growers Inc.)
Sundial Growers Inc. logo (CNW Group/Sundial Growers Inc.)

Sundial and Alcanna have amended the arrangement agreement dated October 7, 2021 (the “Arrangement Agreement“) to reflect the revised consideration, which provides that Alcanna Shareholders will receive, for each Alcanna Share held, 8.85 common shares of Sundial (each whole share, a “Sundial Share“) and $1.50 in cash consideration (the “Revised Consideration“). The Revised Consideration represents a change from all share consideration to a cash and share consideration mix. Based on this exchange ratio, the amount of cash consideration and the closing price of Sundial Shares on January 5, 2022 (converted to CAD$), the Revised Consideration represents a deemed value of approximately $8.43 per Alcanna Share (in comparison to a deemed value of approximately $8.37 per Alcanna Share as at January 5, 2022 pursuant to the prior consideration to be received under the Arrangement of 10.69 Sundial Shares for each Alcanna Share).

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – December 13, 2021) – Craftport Cannabis Corp. (CSE: CFT) (“Craftport” or the “Company”) today announced the following regarding the Pitt Meadows facility (“Pitt Meadows”). Pitt Meadows is owned by 1161750 B.C Ltd. (“1161”), which is 51% owned by Craftport.

Termination of Cultivation Agreements

Pitt Meadows had entered into two separate cultivation agreements.

On August 17, 2020, it entered into an agreement with a third party to assist with the cultivation activities associated with an estimated 12,000 square feet of space within area 4 of the Pitt Meadows greenhouse. The agreement had a 4 year term and could be extended for consecutive 2 year periods. The agreement could be terminated by either party with or without any reason, and without any penalty, upon giving 180 days written notice.

On November 23, 2020, it entered into an agreement with another third party to assist with the cultivation activities associated with an estimated 33,600 square feet of space within area 3 of the Pitt Meadows greenhouse. The agreement had a 4 year term and could be extended for consecutive 2 year periods. The agreement could be terminated by either party with or without any reason, and without any penalty, upon giving 180 days written notice.

Except for the above two agreements regarding areas 3 and 4, Pitt Meadows had suspended all operations while management reviewed strategic options for the facility.

Effective December 12, 2021, written notice was provided to both of the parties who entered into the above agreements for areas 3 and 4, that the cultivation agreements would be terminated in 180 days in accordance with the provisions of the agreements.

Listing Pitt Meadows For Sale

The Company previously announced its intention to utilize an asset-light model to focus on the premium craft cannabis Canadian recreational market. The Company continues its effort to secure the funding necessary to fully execute on this business plan. Given Pitt Meadows no longer fits within the Company’s new business plan, a listing agreement has been executed with B.C. Farm & Ranch Realty Corp. to sell the Pitt Meadows facility. Proceeds from the sale are expected to be used to repay debt and outstanding accounts payables, as well as for working capital purposes to support the asset-light model.

The Company intends to focus on the Canadian premium craft cannabis recreational market by utilizing an asset light model based from it’s Peachland facility.

Alps Enters into Initial $1.4 Million Engagement with Pure Harvest Smart Farms

1,000,000 sq. ft. High-Tech Growing Solution to Supply the Sultan Center, Kuwait’s Leading

LAS VEGASOct. 5, 2021 /CNW/ – Terry Booth, CEO, is proud to announce – Australis Capital Inc., (CSE: AUSA) (OTC: AUSAF) (“AUSA”),announced today that its majority owned subsidiary ALPS has entered into an agreement with Pure Harvest Smart Farms (“Pure Harvest”), the pioneer in controlled-environment agriculture in the Middle East, for the development of a 1,000,000+ square foot, high-tech, fully integrated facility to achieve year-round cultivation of high-quality, fresh fruits and vegetables in Kuwait.

Pure Harvest – The Sultan Center Partnership

The new facility is a foundational complement to the partnership recently signed between Pure Harvest and The Sultan Center (“TSC”). The Sultan Center (TSC) is the largest independent and publicly traded retailer in the Middle East, serving millions of customers across KuwaitOmanJordan, and Bahrain and others. Pure Harvest and TSC have entered into a multi-year commercial off-take agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, Pure Harvest will be supplying TSC with a broad variety of locally grown, premium-quality fresh fruits & vegetables, serving TSC’s supermarkets across the region.

ALPS High-Tech Approach Enables Premium Food Grown in Harsh Climates

Historically Kuwait has depended on the import of most fresh produce offered in its local supermarkets, as the country does not have a climate suitable for sustainable outdoor cultivation of many types of fruits & vegetables. As TSC decided it wanted to reduce its reliance on food imports and improve its environmental footprint, this created the challenge to create a facility that would deliver premium-quality fresh produce under these harsh climatic conditions.  Pure Harvest and ALPS partnered to meet this challenge, designing and delivering a growing solution that utilizes the abundant sunlight in Kuwait while at the same time being economical with scarce resources, including water and medium.

ALPS is specialized in designing facilities that deliver the highest-possible quality and return on investment, taking all climate and economic realities into consideration that a local operator is faced with. Based on over 30 years of experience in operating under a wide variety of conditions and economic parameters, ALPS has developed some of the highest-yielding, most profitable operations globally. This expertise is in part based on the very strong relationships ALPS has with its constellation of technology partners, who in many cases, under the direction of ALPS, have developed solutions that can be marketed to ALPS customers only. ALPS, furthermore, has developed significant know-how in relation to AgTech systems integration and operational optimization through its end-to-end involvement in projects, from pre-planning, through design, to post-commissioning optimization services.

Management Commentary

Thomas Larssen, President of ALPS, commented, “The ALPS brand continues to generate sizeable and exciting business opportunities across the globe, enabling us to grow revenues rapidly. Both TSC and Pure Harvest are run by visionaries with clear goals and ambitious objectives that require a high degree of technological innovation. Through our deep experience in delivering and operating environmentally controlled facilities across the entire global spectrum of climates, while delivering a high ROI, we are able to meet these challenges. We are very proud to be selected by Pure Harvest, a fast-growing technology-enabled agribusiness focused on the MENASA region (Middle EastNorth Africa, and South East Asia), and we expect to collaborate on other projects in the near future.”

Sky Kurtz, Cofounder & CEO of Pure Harvest Smart Farms, added, “We are very pleased to be partnering with ALPS on this project. ALPS’s capabilities complement our own perfectly, and they have a long, successful track record supporting clients to design and deliver high-tech, integrated production facilities. In TSC we have a market-leading partner that fully embraces the value that a producer-retailer partnership brings and what we can do together to improve quality, variety, flavour and food safety for Kuwaiti consumers. Through this partnership, TSC and Pure Harvest will deliver enhanced food safety, water conservation, economic diversification and sustainability within Kuwait and the MENASA region,”

ALPS, formerly Aurora Larssen Projects, is a global leader in facility design, construction management and (post) commissioning services to the horticultural sector across a wide variety of commercial crops.

About AUSA

AUSA is at its roots a community and culture-based cannabis company. After the completion of a dissident shareholder battle that ended with convincing shareholder approval, Terry Booth, former Aurora CEO, who had to step away from AUSA upon spin off, re-joined AUSA as CEO on March 9, 2021. Since then, the company has reset the direction of AUSA and in just 6 months closed multiple accretive transactions, improved legacy contracts, established a world class Executive Team, and resolved previous executive and board exits.

Also, in the same 6-month time frame, AUSA with its acquisition of ALPS has entered the global Sustainable Controlled Environment Agriculture Industry, a rapidly growing segment of the global horticulture market. ALPS provides customized designs along with multiple services that allow operators to maximize yield and quality while minimizing inputs and resources, including labor. ALPS at present is active in cannabis and traditional horticulture projects across the globe, including the U.S., Canada, Denmark Finland, IcelandGermanyNetherlands, Bahrein, United Arab EmiratesSoutheast AsiaAustralia, as well as other jurisdictions.

Total Capex committed by ALPS’ clients since Aurora divested its interest just 16 short months ago during the Covid crisis, stands at approximately $1.5 billion, with a rapidly growing business development pipeline with over $5 billion in total Capex planned to be spent by potential clients.

AUSA’s business assets include: a 51% ownership interest in ALPS, a milestone weighted deal with an option to acquire the remaining 49% of ALPS –- AUSA and Green Therapeutics, an award-winning MSO, have finalized and agreed to all terms with respect to AUSA’s 100% acquisition (subject to regulatory state licensing approvals). AUSA also owns land assets in Bellingham, Washington – as well as the iconic West Coast brand Mr. Natural and the ingestibles brand LOOS with a footprint in the California market. The Company is in the process of closing the acquisition of Herb in San Jose, which comes with the ability to cultivate, distribute and manufacture, as well as a state-wide partnership with Eaze, the largest legal delivery services in the U.S.

AUSA also has a partnership with the Endeavour PBR, the professional bull riders association. Under the partnership, the Company is launching a PBR endorsed line of topical CBD products under the AUDACIOUS Wreck Relief brand.

AUDACIOUS also has a supply partnership with Belle Fleur, founded by the team behind Rapper Weed. Machine Gun Kelly, recently stated: “I just bought $1,000 worth of Rapper Weed at Cookies in Maywood. These guys have the best flower in the game.” AUSA and Belle Fleur are working towards a broader arrangement to include brand partnerships in Massachusetts and other jurisdictions the companies intend entering into. ALPS has been contracted to build the Belle Fleur facility, construction commenced in August. ALPS partner Dawson Wallace is also involved in the Belle Fleur project.
