Laguna Completes Definitive Equity Agreement with Carlsbad Naturals for Nano-Amplified CBD Water

January 25, 2017 – Kelowna, BC – Laguna Blends (CSE:LAG; OTCMKTS:LAGBF; FRA:LB6A) is pleased to announce that it has signed a definitive agreement with Carlsbad Naturals LLC (“Carlsbad”) whereby Laguna and Carlsbad have entered into an equity acquisition agreement (“Equity Agreement”) for the purpose of pursuing mutually beneficial business opportunities in the Cannabidiol (CBD) bottled water Industry and CBD ingestible products Industry (the “Transaction”).
Carlsbad is a leader in the distribution and sales of CBD bottled water in the USA through its unique and proprietary process of infusing CBD’s though nanotechnology. Carlsbad naturals has revenues of $521,000 from September 1, 2016 – December 31, 2016. In addition to the current sales growth of Carlsbad, Laguna plans to generate CBD water sales through its Club 8 online marketplace and its B to B distribution channel in the USA and Canada.
Ray Grimm, President & CEO of Laguna Blends, states: “The partnership with Carlsbad firmly solidifies Laguna as a unique player in the multibillion dollar bottled water and functional beverage industry. Carlsbad CBD water was formulated with the sole purpose of creating a high alkaline water with the added benefits of CBDs. Many believe this to be the next evolution in the water industry, providing unique health benefits due to the proprietary nanotechnology. Carlsbad CBD water provides antioxidants at the cellular level along with providing cellular hydration and energy. Laguna is currently in discussions with Carlsbad regarding further business opportunities including but not limited to the acquisition of controlling interest.”
Charles Vest, VP of Sales of Laguna Blends Inc.’s new hemp and CBD on-line marketplace “Club 8” said: “According to new data from Arcview Market Research, cannabis consumers in North America spent a combined $53 billion in cannabis consumables in 2016. The legal supply of cannabis product increases in North America because several US states have recently joined the list of legalizers while at the same time lawmakers are expected to begin the process of recreational legalization in Canada later this year. The estimated $53 billion in sales is more than was generated by McDonald’s and Starbucks combined in 2016.”
“The high amount of existing consumers differentiates cannabis from other major consumer-market investment opportunities in history. There is a huge demand for clean cannabis products in our industry today. We just need to move demand for an already widely-popular product into safe and legal channels. Experts see the biggest growth in sectors like edibles and concentrates. It is much easier and safer to buy these products from a trusted retailer than to make them at home. Not only Carlsbad’s Nano-Amplified CBD Water but all of our current and upcoming products in “Club 8” will benefit from this massive and unstoppable growth trend”, he added.
Pursuant to the terms of the transaction, Laguna has up to 75 days to acquire a 19% equity stake in Carlsbad. Laguna will initially purchase nineteen percent (19%) equity interest in Carlsbad for a one-time payment of $250,000 USD paid for in cash and $546,000 paid for in Laguna common shares for a total purchase price of $796,000.00 USD. Laguna is currently in discussions about acquiring additional equity interest, for majority control.
The common shares issued for the initial 19% are subject to lock up and or leak out provisions whereby the first 1/12 of the common shares will be released 4 months and a day after issuance. 1/12 will be issued every subsequent month thereafter.
