TORONTO, Aug. 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Flow Capital Corp. (“Flow Capital” and “Flow”) wishes to congratulate Inner Spirit Holdings Ltd. (“Inner Spirit”) on its successful listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE"). Inner Spirit’s common shares began trading effective at the market open on August 1, 2018 under the symbol ISH.

Inner Spirit is a Flow Capital portfolio company. In January 2018, Flow Capital converted its royalty in WATCH IT! to common shares of Inner Spirit. Following the completion of Inner Spirit’s IPO, Flow Capital owns approximately 8.36% of the outstanding common shares of Inner Spirit. 

Inner Spirit is establishing a chain of recreational cannabis dispensaries under its Spirit Leaf brand. Supporting local entrepreneurs by applying its award-winning franchise and retail models, Inner Spirit has more than 100 franchise partnerships in place for Spirit Leaf locations across BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Inner Spirit also intends to operate corporate dispensaries in certain jurisdictions. Developing a diverse portfolio of quality and curated lifestyle cannabis products - including Spirit Leaf’s own locally sourced lines – Inner Spirit and its Spirit Leaf brand is positioned to be an iconic Canadian brand and the most trusted source for recreational cannabis.

“Flow Capital congratulates Darren Bondar and the team at Inner Spirit on becoming the first Canadian recreational cannabis retail company to complete an initial public offering,” stated Robb McLarty, Acting Chief Executive Officer of Flow. “Inner Spirit’s success will be a meaningful contributor to increasing Flow’s net asset value.
