AgraFlora Organics Awarded Health Canada Research License at GMP-Certified Toronto, Ontario Bottling Facility and Increases Convertible Debenture Offering

December 10, 2019 03:05 ET | Source: AgraFlora Organics International Inc.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 10, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AgraFlora Organics International Inc. (“AgraFlora” or the “Company”) (CSE: AGRA) (Frankfurt: PU31) (OTCPK: AGFAF), a growth oriented and diversified international cannabis company, is pleased to announce the Company’s subsidiary, Potluck Potions and Edibles Inc., has been awarded a cannabis research licence (the “Research License”) from Health Canada under the Cannabis Regulations Act.

The Research Licence equips AgraFlora with the ability to develop cannabis infused beverage formulations, as well as complete human sensory testing for taste, appearance, aroma and texture at its GMP bottling facility located in Toronto, Ontario (the “Toronto Bottling Facility”). The Research Licence also allows AgraFlora to possess and store dry cannabis, cannabis oils/concentrates and cannabis edibles on site at the Toronto Bottling Facility.

In anticipation of the Research Licence, AgraFlora began comprehensive retrofit initiatives at the Toronto Bottling Facility including the completion of a cannabis research laboratory (the “Research Laboratory”) within its current GMP-certified premises. The Research Laboratory consists of state-of-the-art equipment for weighing, handling and processing microdosages of CBD and THC compounds, including magnetic mixers, homogenizers and high-pressure liquid chromatograph (“HPLC”).

The Company plans to immediately commence cannabinoid-related research and development activities, including:

Establishment of extraction protocols to isolate specific desirable compounds, including CBD, THC and THCV;
Cannabinoid extract infusion analysis relating to formulation and pilot batching;
Identification of process and physiochemical product attributes paired with analytically guided optimization;
Development of optimized blend formulations for water solubility and shelf stability ratios/forms;
High-pressure homogenization to produce superfine emulsions from cannabis oil; and,
Centrifugal partition chromatography to develop compounds in a powdered format.
AgraFlora's Toronto Bottling Facility boasts extensive manufacturing experience for leading beverage brands, such as Heineken and SABMiller, as well as the Coca-Cola Company. Strategically situated in the Greater Toronto Area (the “GTA”), the Toronto Bottling Facility affords the Company unbridled access to the largest addressable Canadian marketplace. The GTA is buoyed by established infrastructure, offering the flexibility to accommodate shipments from multiple ports and hubs across North America.

With annualized throughput of up to 30 million bottles, the Toronto Bottling Facility is equipped with custom-made bottling equipment, configured to conduct rapid production runs, with minimal downtime for production line changeovers. Fully operational, the Company’s Toronto Bottling Facility has been granted the following industry certifications:

Good manufacturing practices (“GMP”);
Canadian organic standards;
Certified vegan;
Fair trade certification (“ISO 17065”); and,
Kosher facility status.
Brandon Boddy, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AgraFlora stated: “The award of a Health Canada Research License at our GMP-certified Toronto Bottling Facility again places us at the nexus of a lucrative cannabis 2.0 vertical - cannabinoid-infused adult use and functional beverages. The functional beverage category is increasingly becoming the popular choice among consumers who are seeking low-calorie, nutrient-dense options as a healthy alternative to traditional beverages.

Our GMP-certified Toronto Bottling Facility, coupled with exclusive access to a suite of established cannabinoid-infused product formulation recipes already proven to garner considerable attention in mature U.S. marketplaces such as Colorado, further reinforces our position as a leader in the next phase of Canadian cannabis normalization.

The marketing and eventual distribution of our beverage products will follow additional testing, and will be subject to necessary approvals and licences to be granted by Health Canada and regulatory authorities in other territories."

Further to the Company’s news release dated November 25, 2019, AgraFlora has entered into signed subscription agreements for a non-brokered private placement offering consisting of 30,000 unsecured convertible debentures with an aggregate face value of $1,000 for increased gross aggregate proceeds of $30 million. The debentures shall mature on March 12, 2021.

Proceeds from the placement will be used as general working capital and to continue the Company's continuing capital expenditures at its 2.2-million-square-foot Delta greenhouse complex as well as its 51,500-square-foot Winnipeg edibles facility and for investment purposes.

("DOCC") for up to a $40 million investment at a price of approximately $0.45 per share for the retrofit of a large-scale medical cannabis cultivation operation in Delta, British Columbia.

Concurrently with the retrofit of the 2,200,000 square foot greenhouse complex located in Delta, BC, the Company has reached several important milestones in the past four months:

-- $20 million investment received from DOCC for the previously announced Equity Participation and Earn-In Agreement,

-- Cannabis supply agreement signed with Namaste Technologies for up to 25,000,000 grams of cannabis or 10% of total production from the Delta Greenhouse Complex for $4 per gram,

-- Engaged good manufacturing practices (GMP) facility experts to design post production exports for the European Union (EU) in preparation for the first crop of cannabis to be planted at its the large-scale Delta Greenhouse Complex,

-- Propagation supply agreement signed with Cabbay Holdings Corp. to supply high-CBD cannabis plants for a 5-acre outdoor grow operation,

-- Large library of cannabis seed varieties from diverse lineages acquired from a private genetics firm.

In addition, AgraFlora expects to be in receipt of the balance of the funds of the financing ($20 million) by March 31, 2019. Due to the size and complexity of the transaction, additional time is required to complete the transaction.

"We have made considerable progress over the past four months as we moved from an AMCPR applicant to an innovative high-quality licensed cannabis producer," said Derek Ivany, President and CEO of AgraFlora Organics(PUFXF). "We continue to move aggressively to prepare the Delta Greenhouse Complex for its first cannabis crop. We are focused on installing an advanced security system along with state-of-the-art lighting, watering and air purification technology to meet and exceed all regulatory and industry standards. We are also pursuing cannabis supply agreements with domestic and international customers in preparation for the first crop to be planted in Delta, BC. I would like to thank the project team for all their work and effort to keep the conversion of the Delta Greenhouse Complex on schedule and on budget. When at full capacity the Delta facility will be the second largest cannabis production site in Canada."

Plenty of time to accumulate!

Slowly accumulating shares every week. Glad this is staying low for now!

I'm guessing he's referring to Natures Hemp Co.

Looks like, from what I've seen, they distributed 100% of the common shares they received from them to shareholders. I don't know if that means they own the company outright though.

Good. Glad he's out. Should help that company thrive. I don't think that should affect our deal with them either. If anything, it's gonna help.

Oh shit dude, you're not supposed to say his name 3 times. Remember?

BeetleJuice?

Anyone see the spike to $9.70?!?

VANCOUVER, Oct. 26, 2018 /CNW/ - Namaste Technologies Inc.(NXTTF) ("Namaste" or the "Company") (TSXV: N) (OTCMKTS: NXTTF) is pleased to announce that subject to the proposed legislation outlined by the Province of Ontario, that the Company intends to launch recreational cannabis dispensaries through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cannmart Inc. ("Cannmart") and through its partnership with 2624078 Ontario In. ("Infinite Labz").

Both facilities are located within approximately 5km from Pearson International Airport. With over 47 million passengers through the airport annually, Cannmart and Infinite Labz will provide travelers with a convenient location within minutes from the airport that will offer a variety of cannabis products sourced from multiple vendors.

Cannmart is the first sales license which has been issued to a non-cultivator of cannabis in the Canadian market (the "sales-only" license). This allows Cannmart to offer a variety of cannabis products sourced from multiple license producers in a single platform. While the Company is focused on creating an online marketplace for medical cannabis, it has at the same time recognized the value of Cannmart and Infinite Labz locations and intends on launching physical dispensaries catered towards the recreational market.

Further to the Company's May 10th, 2018 news release, Namaste(NXTTF) acquired 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of Infinite Labz, which will be a purpose-built oil extraction facility incorporating leading extraction technology. Infinite Labz will offer a variety of products and brands to be sold to both the medical and recreational markets. Namaste(NXTTF) anticipates an accelerated demand for cannabis oils, and Infinite Labz will be a dedicated facility designed specifically for the production of oil and other products such as gel-caps, tinctures, pre-filled cartridges and edibles, as they become available on the market

The Company has also secured agreements strong US brands like Lowell Herb Co. ("Lowell Smokes") and Airo Brands Inc. ("Airo") to produce pre-rolls and pre-filled vaporizer cartridges subject to regulatory compliance. These brands, which are already established will be produced and distributed by the Company through Infinite Labz and Cannmart in the Canadian market. Both Lowell Smokes and Airo brands products will be made available through the dispensary locations along with a variety of other cannabis products which will be offered through Cannmart and Infinite Labz.


Management Commentary

Sean Dollinger , President and CEO of Namaste(NXTTF) comments: "We're looking forward to launching recreational dispensary locations in both facilities. Cannmart and Infinite Labz will each have unique product offerings that will provide value for both medical patients and recreational users. With our location being so close to the airport, we anticipate seeing a strong demand for a recreational dispensary model. While we have been focused on developing our online marketplace for medical cannabis, we recognize and intend on taking advantage of strong opportunities in the recreational market."

Looks like the MMs are desperately trying to hold this back.
