CANOPY GROWTH CORP (OTCMKTS:TWMJF) continues to impress in the wake of its landmark announcement late last month of a minority stake investment by Constellation Brands (NYSE:STZ.B). The latest from the company is yet another strong diversification of its cash pile in the form of its announcement last week that it and Canopy Rivers Corporation, along with funds advised by JW Asset Management LLC have entered into subscription agreements with TerrAscend Corp. pursuant to which the Investors will acquire from TerrAscend, on a non-brokered private placement basis, 47,727,273 units of TerrAscend at a price per Unit of CAD$1.10, for aggregate gross proceeds of CAD$52,500,000.
According to the release, “each Unit sold in the Private Placement will consist of one common share of TerrAscend and one common share purchase warrant of TerrAscend, with each Warrant entitling the holder to purchase an additional Common Share for a period of 36 months from the closing date of the Private Placement at an exercise price of CAD$1.10.”
CANOPY GROWTH CORP COM NPV (OTCMKTS:TWMJF) is one of the bigger growers. The company produces and sells medical marijuana in Canada. It offers dry cannabis and oil products primarily under the Tweed and Bedrocan brands. It also sells its products through online.
According to company materials, “Tweed is the most recognized marijuana production brand in the world. It has built a large and loyal following by focusing on quality products and meaningful customer relationships. Tweed doesn’t just sell marijuana, it facilitates a conversation about a product we’ve all heard about but haven’t met intimately yet. It is approachable and friendly, yet reliable and trusted. As marijuana laws liberalize around the world, Tweed will expand its leading Canadian position around the globe.”
Also from their materials, “Bedrocan is the epitome of medical-grade cannabis. Bedrocan BV pioneered medical cannabis in Holland through decades of selection and refinement, leading to standardized, whole bud cannabis strains that patients can rely on. Bedrocan Canada supplies the same standardized strains to the Canadian market through exclusive licensing rights to the American continents, an arrangement it will also enjoy for all future genetic advancements. Due to its consistency over time, Bedrocan’s strains have been used in clinical research in seven European countries. That commitment to research didn’t stay on the east side of the Atlantic – Bedrocan Canada recently launched one of the largest clinical cannabis studies in the world, the EQUAL Study, to evaluate quality of life before and after medical cannabis use.”
