Canada NewsWire

MONTREAL, April 20, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - LGC Capital Ltd.

The first 29,000 sq. feet of greenhouses, of the initial Stage 1 58,000 sq. feet build-out have been constructed at Montego Bay and a new 2,500 sq. feet nursey and mother plant complex is currently under construction. Global Canna Labs has applied for a Herbhouse license which enables  consumption and sales directly onsite. In addition to that Global Canna Labs have also applied for a Tier-2 processing license for extraction of cannabinoids.

Global Canna Labs have also advised that the Jamaican Government's Cannabis Licensing Authority have completed their site inspections of the Montego Bay facilities on Thursday April 19 for converting their conditional Cultivator's Licence (Tier 3) (over 5 acres) to a full unconditional Cultivator's Licence and they expect formal approvals for the unconditional licence shortly.

On January 26, 2018, LGC announced that it had signed a Letter of Intent with Global Canna Labs and one of its major shareholders that provided for LGC subscribing for a $2.5 million secured debenture, convertible into an initial 30% strategic interest in Global Canna Labs and to also acquire a 5% royalty on Global Canna Labs' net sales for $2.4 million, payable in shares of LGC. (Refer to LGC's news release dated January 26, 2018 for full transaction details)

The Letter of Intent provided LGC the necessary time to carry out legal and technical due diligence, and this due diligence has now been successfully concluded and formal definitive agreements have now been drafted ready for execution, subject only to TSX Venture Exchange approvals.

John McMullen, CEO of LGC commented, "I would like to thank our shareholders for their  patience and understanding given that it has taken more time than expected to complete the due diligence on this transaction. It was important to get the legal and technical reviews completed to the highest standards possible, especially considering the transaction it is in a foreign jurisdiction. It is also excellent news that the Jamaican Cannabis Licensing Authority site inspection of Global Canna Labs' Montego Bay facilities went well last week and we look forward to completing this transaction as soon as possible and moving this into rapid cannabis production." 

Paul Glavine, President of Global Canna Labs, "We are excited that both Global Canna Labs and LGC Capital have satisfied due dillegence on this significant international Ganja day.  We are excited to build a global organic ganja brand that's deeply rooted to Jamaica's rich history of natural island products"
