Calgary, Alberta (FSCwire) - International Cannabrands Inc. (CSE:JUJU) (the “Company”) is pleased to share CEO, Steve Gormley’s letter to shareholders.

Dear Shareholders,

It has been a little more than a month since my last update to shareholders and I wanted to reflect on the great progress the Company has made in the five weeks since my last letter. The senior management team at International Cannabrands has been hard at work turning the Company around and creating shareholder value through acquisition, strategic partnerships and the restructuring of the Company’s capital structure. 

Below is a list of the highlights:

• August 29, 2018, the Company invested US$600,000 to acquire 25% of Riotus SODO LLC, a company that has partnered with Solstice Holdings Inc., a leading brand and distribution company in Washington State. The investment is expected to provide strong accretive near term cash flow being in Q2 2019, a valuable platform for expansion of cash flow going forward and access to a highly respected producer and distributor for our products with an impeccable reputation.

• September 14, 2018, we completed a substantial restructuring of our capital structure and cancelled Preferred Shares and Common Shares representing a total of 115,766,613 voting shares, a 40% reduction in the outstanding equity on a non-diluted basis at that point. The number of Common Shares, on a fully diluted basis, was decreased by 27.7%. As a result the Company’s stock symbol changed from JUJU.A to JUJU. 

• September 21, 2018 we signed a definitive agreement for the acquisition of 51% of La Vida Verde (“LVV”) for an aggregate cost of US$8,000,000. See press releases dated April 24, and July 9, 2018, for additional information. LVV is a highly respected branded cannabis product manufacturer and distributor based in Santa Cruz, California. The investment in LVV will support an expansion of sales and operations staff, inventory required by rapid growth and to expand manufacturing capacity.

• September 25, 2018, we announced a distribution agreement with Solstice Holdings, Inc. (“Solstice”), a private company in Washington State, for the production, promotion and distribution of the Julian Marley JuJu Royal™ line and other products of the Company in the Washington State market. Washington State is one of the three largest cannabis markets in the US and had total sales of cannabis $1.37 billion in 2017.

Over the past several weeks the market has responded well to the significant changes executed by the Company. We are focused on earnings and growth. I look forward to sharing more in the days, weeks and months to come. 

In addition, the Company wishes to advise holders of an aggregate of 25,617,442 share purchase warrants issued in July and August, 2018 (the “Warrants”) with exercise prices ranging between $0.10 and $0.1187 per share, that based on the 10-day trading price of the Common Shares, pursuant to the terms of the Warrants the expiry date has been accelerated from 24 months to 30 days, namely, to 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on October 29, 2018. Any Warrants not exercised prior to that time will be null and void. Notices will also be sent to the registered holders thereof by mail.
