Alliance Growers (ACG-Cse) to Acquire Quebec Late Stage ACMPR Applicant
Feb 21, '18 - NR
Alliance Growers is pleased to report that it has entered into an exclusive agreement to acquire a late stage licensed producer applicant, Biotech Canna, to become a licensed producer under Health Canada's access to cannabis for medical purposes regulations ("ACMPR") in Quebec. Alliance Growers will supply financing and resources to build out the medical marijuana facility in preparation for the inspection required to obtain a growing license. Once Health Canada is satisfied with a successful crop, Alliance Growers will be granted its distribution license.
This is a key acquisition for Alliance Growers and its shareholders, as it allows the company an opportunity to become a licensed producer in the province of Quebec and gain an in-road to provide tissue culture plantlets to all licensed producers in Quebec.
There are several key points of value that are unique and advantageous to a Quebec license that include:
- 20% of Canada population is in Quebec
- Only 2 licenses have been approved in Quebec with only 1 producing (Hydropocathary).
- Quebec government has always looked to attain 25% of whatever Canada's intentions are with business. They have publicly stated they want Health Canada to process all the licenses- 16 Applications - in Quebec and have the applications approved swiftly.
- Quebec will only purchase the supply from Quebec growers, they won't go outside to other provinces for supply if they don't need to.
The initial Biotech Canna facility is 10,000 sq. ft. and is attached to a 120,000-sq. ft. warehouse for expansion. Biotech Canna will produce up to 1,000 kg per year and will increase that output in Phase 2 of expansion".
Alliance Growers is making an initial payment of $100,000 and $150,000 in stock. Alliance Growers will acquire 100% of the Quebec late stage licensed producer applicant in stages for a total consideration of $8 Million - cash consideration of $600,000 and $7.4 Million in stock at a deemed value of $1/share, the final payment of $500,000 in Alliance stock to be released from escrow upon Health Canada ACMPR approval.
Commenting on the acquisition of a Quebec late stage licensed producer applicant, Dennis Petke, Alliance Growers' President and CEO, stated "Management of Alliance Growers continues to carry out our mandate to build a diversified global cannabis company that will be where the market is going, not where the market is today. Alliance Growers is focused on two primary streams in the cannabis space which are the most sustainable and that are here to stay; the grow stream and the medical CBD Oil stream. To optimally drive Alliance Growers growth and stature in the grow space, we have determined that acquiring a Quebec license would be both a key driver to success and a key pillar in Alliance' strategic business plan."
