OG GROUP partnership with CXBS creates a WINNING formula.
Irvine, CA -- March 8, 2018 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Corix Bioscience Inc. (OTCQB: CXBS), an emerging developer of proprietary cannabis and industrial hemp strains earmarked specifically for use in important healthcare applications, today announced that it has executed a definitive agreement to acquire a 60% interest in OG Group LLC, positioning Corix to play a leading role in the California cannabis market.
Corix CEO Michael Ogburn commented, “We are pleased to team up with the highly-regarded industry leaders at OG Group. This acquisition allows us to put licenses Corix already owns to significant use. OG Group will be utilizing more than $5 million worth of specialty processing equipment to service customer orders. Together we expect to positively impact the entire ecosystem of this business.”
OG Group is purchasing a principal operations facility in Adelanto, California. The building has 1,800 square feet immediately available for processing activities, with substantial room for enlarging to meet customer needs. The real estate also includes ~44,000 square feet that could be used for future cultivation. OG Group is funding all of the purchase and start-up costs of the Adelanto facility and real estate.
CEO Ogburn noted, “The legalization of medicinal and adult-use cannabis in California this year, paired with the cannabis licenses (cultivation, processing and distribution) that Corix holds in Adelanto, makes this acquisition particularly fortuitous and timely. In the context of a current highly-fragmented California market, the acquisition of OG Group could, within a short period of time, result in Corix being the leading cannabis extractor in the state.”
The all-stock acquisition of 60% of OG Group calls for 17,500,000 Corix common shares to be issued to the OG Group shareholders; with 5,000,000 shares issued upon closing the transaction, and 2,500,000 shares to be issued on each subsequent purchase anniversary for five years thereafter.
Further details of the acquisition will be contained in an 8-K filing with the SEC.
