Good

(TSXV: RIV), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE: ACB) (TSX: ACB) and MYM Nutraceuticals Inc., (CSE: MYM) (OTCBB: MYMMF).
iAnthus
Capital Holdings Inc., .(CSE: IAN) (OTCQX: ITHUF) which owns, operates, and
partners with best-in-class regulated cannabis operations across the United
States, announced that CBD For Life, a top-ranked,
national CBD brand in the U.S. which the Company agreed to acquire on March 29,
2019, has entered into an agreement with Urban Outfitters, a lifestyle-oriented
general merchandise and consumer products store with 245 locations throughout
the United States, Canada and Europe.
The agreement places CBD For Life products
in Urban Outfitters' e-commerce platform and top 6 retail locations in the U.S.
The CBD For Life products are expected to launch in select Urban Outfitters
stores later this month.
"Our partnership with Urban
Outfitters represents a major step forward for CBD For Life, placing us in one
of the United States' most successful retail chains
that also serves as a tastemaker for the rest of the retail market," said Julie
Winter, COO of CBD For Life.
"With the backing of iAnthus, we look forward to further growing our
footprint and making our products top of mind for consumers around the
world."
Micron Waste Technologies Inc., .(CSE: MWM) (OTC: MICWF), a leading developer of waste
treatment systems for food and cannabis waste, officially opened its waste treatment innovation
centre in Metro-Vancouver yesterday. The new Delta facility will be the
operational headquarters for Micron's research team, led by Chief Technology
Officer Dr. Bob Bhushan. Current and future research will include the
development of commercial applications for new waste treatment targets produced
by a variety of industries, including brewing and distilling,
biopharmaceutical, food processing, oil and gas, agribusiness and pulp and
paper. Micron's first two waste treatment systems – the Cannavore™ cannabis
waste unit and the Organivore™ food waste unit – will be market-ready later
this year and models were on-site for viewing.
"The Micron Waste Innovation Centre
will be home to the heart of our company – the patented platform we innovated
to rapidly bio-engineer and commercialize waste treatment solutions for a wide
range of urgent waste problems," said President & CEO Alfred Wong.
"We have used the platform to create solutions for management of food and
cannabis waste and will now expand our focus to build a robust pipeline of
additional proprietary waste solutions."
Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC), announced that it has completed an all-cash
acquisition of Spain-based licensed cannabis producer Cáñamo y Fibras
Naturales, S.L. ("Cafina"). The acquisition lays the foundation for
Canopy Growth to expand its European production footprint into one of the most
ideal growing regions in the world, complementing the Company's existing
430,000 square foot licensed production site in Odense, Denmark, as well as its
world-class ISO 13485 internationally certified Storz and Bickel facility in
Tütlingen, Germany.
Cafina is one of three companies in Spain
authorized to cultivate, distribute and export cannabis containing more than
0.2% of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) for medicinal and research purposes, and
does so today in a 1,600 sq. ft. greenhouse. It is also licensed to conduct
hemp cultivation. With this acquisition and planned corresponding expansion in
Spain, Canopy Growth improves its long-term positioning to address demand across
Europe for medical cannabis and CBD products. Canopy Growth is also partnered
with a second licensed producer in Spain that produces cannabis flowers for the
Company under an existing supply arrangement.
Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSXV: RIV), and High Beauty, Inc. announced the completion of an investment by
Canopy Rivers in High Beauty, creator of industry-leading cannabis beauty brand
high. Canopy Rivers has subscribed for US$2.5 million of shares in High Beauty,
representing 18.4% of the company on a fully diluted basis, including
additional warrant coverage.
Management believes that High Beauty has
a competitive advantage in the global beauty market through its distribution
partnership with Sephora, an established leader in global prestige omni-channel
retail. Defined by its unique, open-sell environment, Sephora's curated
assortment of brands includes trusted classics, indie and emerging favorites,
and their own brand, Sephora Collection. The brand and beauty experts at
Sephora have been involved in the evolution of high from concept to shelf, and
the products have been specifically developed to meet "Clean at
Sephora" standards – a "free of" designation that meets
consumers' needs for products free of questionable and unwanted ingredients.
Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE: ACB) (TSX: ACB) and Hempco Food and Fiber Inc. (TSX-V: HEMP) today announced that the companies have entered
into a binding letter agreement in regard to the basic terms and conditions
upon which Aurora will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares
of Hempco not already owned by Aurora. In consideration of the transaction,
Aurora has agreed to pay $1.04 per Hempco Share, payable in common shares of
Aurora, reflecting a valuation of approximately C$63.4 million on a fully
diluted basis.
For
more than 12 years Hempco has been a trusted and respected pioneer, innovator
and provider of quality, hemp-based foods, hemp fiber and hemp nutraceuticals.
Hempco produces and markets the brands PLANET HEMP™ and PRAISE, hemp-based
foods and nutritional supplements for people and animals. Hempco has developed
multiple international distribution channels, selling through highly visible platforms,
such as Amazon.com, Well.ca and Metro Inc. Through its combined hemp assets,
Aurora is well positioned to drive growth through the sale of hemp products to
more than 100 countries
Hempco
provides Aurora with low-cost, high-volume access to raw material (hemp) for
the extraction of CBD, which has been increasingly recognized for its
therapeutic benefits across a wide range of medical indications and wellness
applications. Aurora identified this potential early on, completing its first
investment in Hempco in 2017, and has subsequently expanded its hemp-based
infrastructure through the acquisitions of Agropro, Europe's largest producer
of organic hemp and hemp-based products, Borela and ICC Labs. The full
integration of Hempco into this infrastructure adds further capacity, brands
and distribution channels to capitalize on the global CBD wellness opportunity,
which is anticipated to grow to $22 billion by 2022.
MYM Nutraceuticals Inc. (CSE: MYM) (OTCBB: MYMMF).announced that it has incorporated
"MYM Nutraceuticals Mexico S.A. de C.V." MYM has confidence in future
Mexican legislation to regulate the cannabis industry. The Company is taking
steps to be a first-mover in the industry in Mexico by planning to focus on the importation and
distribution of hemp derived CBD products. The expected changes in cannabis
legislation will make cannabis products like hemp-derived CBD available on the
shelves of general retailers across the nation.
The Company has engaged Mr. Joaquin
Araico as its Director of Business Development and Local Operations for Mexico.
Mr. Araico holds a BA in Economics at the Anahuac University and a certificate
in finance at the Technological Institute of Monterrey. He has over 35 years
experience in management, finance and politics, particularly in various levels
of government and strategic areas in Mexico. He will oversee the daily
operations of MYM Mexico and its entry into the CBD and cannabis market within
the country.
"In keeping with our Strategic Plan
previously outlined, we're excited to add another building block by
incorporating MYM Mexico and establishing an office in Mexico," said
Howard Steinberg, CEO of MYM. "The Mexican government is currently
considering significant cannabis reform at a national level. MYM aims to be at
the forefront of this movement by positioning the company to be a key player in
the importation and distribution of CBD-rich hemp products."
