Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 9, 2014) - Matica Enterprises Inc. (CSE: GRF) ("Matica" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire THC Dispensaries, Inc. ("THCD"), a Nova Scotia company with a Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulation ("MMPR") licence as well as a brand new state of the art free standing facility currently awaiting its final inspection by Heath Canada. THCD has received a "Ready To Build" letter from Health Canada and is awaiting the pre-licence inspection currently scheduled for late October to become an operating Licenced Producer under the new MMPR program.
The MMPR license allows the Company to supply dried marijuana, seeds and organic soil to dispensaries throughout North America and Europe. THCD's 6,000 square foot facility is located on 35 acres in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, with an additional 16,000 square feet that can be added to maximize the production allowance in this facility to the allotted volume of 806,250 grams per year.
Matica Enterprises CEO, Boris Ziger states, "The signing of this definitive agreement with THC Dispensaries is a major milestone for Matica and propels the Company forward toward its near term goal of becoming a licensed producer of medical marijuana under the new MMPR program. This transaction with THC Dispensaries fully establishes Matica's position in the medical marijuana industry amongst the few companies that have achieved MMPR producer status."
Under the terms of the definitive agreement, Matica has an option to acquire a 50% interest in THCD by financing THCD up to $325,000 and further upon THCD becoming a Licensed Producer Matica will finance THCD a further $1,175,000. Matica will also issue 5,000,000 shares of Matica common stock to THCD.
Matica' shares are currently halted trading by the CSE pending the review of the disclosure related to the change of business to the medical marijuana industry. The Company understands the need for a halt at this stage of the implementation of its change of business and, in order to assist the CSE in their review, has filed an updated Form 2A reflecting the new businesses. The trading will resume as soon as the CSE has completed its review. Matica currently has two outstanding LOI's with existing medical marijuana producers but will not be proceeding any further with these companies.
