Business Highlights:
Subsequent to April 30, 2021, Canada House completed the acquisition of Margaree Health Group Inc. ("Margaree"), a medical cannabis clinic dedicated to veterans in the Province of Nova Scotia. The purchase consideration included cash consideration of $500 and an earn out measured against Margaree's revenue over a three-year period.
Also subsequent to the year ending April 30, 2021, the Company announced that they have entered into a definitive share exchange agreement for the Company's acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Montréal Cannabis Medical Inc. ("Montreal Cannabis") (herein referred to as the "Transaction"). The Transaction is considered an arm's length transaction and will constitute a "reverse takeover" of the Company by Montreal Cannabis as it is anticipated that the Company's shareholders will account for approximately 20% of the combined company post-closing. Should the Transaction be completed, it is anticipated that the Company will operate under the Montreal Cannabis corporate name with shares continuing to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange under a related ticker.
"Fiscal Year 2021 was a transformative year for Canada House. We completed the IsoCanMed acquisition, we launched our locally grown products in the Quebec adult use market, and we established a significant and meaningful presence in the veteran focused medical market as evidenced by our near 100% revenue growth on a year over year basis," commented Chris Churchill-Smith, CEO of Canada House. "We look forward to continued successes and industry changing results as we look to complete and integrate the MTL Cannabis acquisition and show that Canadian Cannabis companies can be profitable."
