Proposed Cudahy Floor Plan & Facility Layout
The City of Cudahy has created specific zones of the city to allow operation for these license types, and 420 will manufacture, deliver, and distribute various flower strains and cannabis concentrates in a variety of CBD-to-THC ratios and terpene profiles.
Christian Scovenna, High Hampton’s Sr. VP Corporate Finance, commented:
“This transaction further expands High Hampton’s strategic cannabis distribution network in California and will ultimately allow us to bring more products and quality brands online as we advance this and our other assets. With the previously announced acquisitions of CaliGold (see press release April 18, 2018) and Bravo Distro (see press release May 2, 2018) expected to close soon, High Hampton will be well positioned with distribution hubs, product and cultivation opportunities across California.”
All membership interests of 420 were purchased for a total of USD$6,550,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price was satisfied by a cash payment of USD$500,000 and the issuance of 8,047,099 common shares of the Company (the “Payment Shares”) at a deemed price of CAD$1.00 per Payment Share.
One insider of the Company acquired 3,428,066 Payment Shares, which constitutes a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The issuance to the insider is exempt from the formal valuation and the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the Payment Shares issued to or the consideration paid by such person did not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.
All Payment Shares issued in connection with the Acquisition are subject to a voluntary escrow period expiring December 21, 2018, except for the Payment Shares issued to the insider which are subject to a voluntary escrow period expiring on December 21, 2018 and June 21, 2019.
None of the securities issued in connection with the Acquisition will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and none of them may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state where such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful.
