Halo Labs Sign Definitive Agreement to Acquire Canmart (HALO) (AGEEF)
242Halo Labs Sign Definitive Agreement to Acquire Canmart (HALO) (AGEEF)- RICH TV LIVE - October 4, 2020 - Halo Labs Inc. (“Halo” or the “Company”) (NEO: HALO, OTCQX: AGEEF, Germany: A9KN) has entered into a definitive share purchase agreement, (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company, in exchange for up to 72,463,768 common shares of Halo (“Halo Shares”), will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Canmart Ltd. (“Canmart”), a licensed importer and distributor of cannabis-based products for medicinal use (“CBPMs”) in the United Kingdom (“UK”) (the “Acquisition”). Issuance of certain Halo Shares will be subject to milestones and, once issued, will be subject to volume trading restrictions
Canmart possesses all necessary licenses from the UK Home Office and the MHRA to import and distribute CPBMs to authorized patients in the UK. Canmart operates a 30,000 square foot storage and distribution facility in Southeast England.
The UK population consumes one of the greatest amounts of cannabis per capita in the world. With an estimated 4.7 million cannabis users out of a total general population of 66.4 million in 2019, the number of users per capita even approaches California, currently the single largest cannabis market in the world.1 While the estimated number of people in the UK who use cannabis to treat chronic health conditions is only 1.4 million,2 the legal use of medical cannabis is still in its relative infancy. The UK legalized CPBMs, including plant materials, oils, tinctures, edibles and capsules, in November 2018.
Nearly all CPBM prescriptions are imported, because there is no formal domestic manufacturing program in the UK.3 However, as legal prescriptions are on the rise,4 recent regulations have sought to streamline and ease the importation of medical cannabis to the UK. In March 2020, the Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (the “MHRA”) and the Home Office implemented changes that enable Canmart to import large quantities of CPBMs and hold inventory of these approved medicines. The Company’s research of publicly available information indicates that Canmart and four other companies in the UK currently possess all of the licenses necessary for bulk importation and distribution of CPBMs.
Prohibition Partners anticipates that bulk imports will catalyze demand for CPBM: “As bulk imports increase, so will patient access, driving down the cost of medicines to patients and the National Health Service, improving stability of access, while facilitating an exponential growth in patient numbers.”5 By 2024, the UK medical cannabis market is predicted to be worth nearly £1bn (US$1.3bn), servicing more than 400,000 active patients. With lower costs, easier access and up to fifty-two treatable conditions, Prohibition Partners estimates that the total patient base for medical cannabis in the UK could reach four million during the same time period. This trend is reenforced by the independent research group Drug Science’s Project Twenty21, that launched Europe’s largest medical cannabis patient trials in the UK. Lead investigator, Professor David Nutt, anticipates patient prescriptions will increase by 20,000 due to this trial alone.
