“For Freedom Cannabis, this is a very important step forward,” explained Freedom Cannabis CEO, JohnFrank Potestio. “This provides our company with a very important foothold in the US market that can be developed even further as our two companies begin to collaborate.”
The two companies will also explore a potential merger in the future, depending on market conditions and regulatory approvals, that would significantly increase market share in North America. A potential merger would be dependent on due diligence by both parties, Freedom Cannabis pursuing a public offering in Canada, and legalization of cannabis at the federal level in the US.
“We are very pleased to have formed a working relationship with Artizen,” explained JohnFrank Potestio. “Artizen shares the same values as Freedom Cannabis and is dedicated to becoming one of the leading brands in North America. This provides a significant opportunity for Freedom to access the US market while continuing to build its brand in Canada.”
