    Hexo (NYSEAMERICAN:HEXO,TSX:HEXO) and Newstrike Brands (TSXV:HIP) announced the issuance of official approval from the Canadian Competition Bureau for a planned acquisition.

The Transaction has already been unanimously approved by the board of directors of each of Hexo and Newstrike. In April, the companies announced that Hexo has entered into irrevocable hard voting support agreements with shareholders of Newstrike representing in aggregate approximately 38.3 [percent] of Newstrike’s issued and outstanding common shares.
