OTTAWA, Aug. 14, 2018 /CNW/ - CannaRoyalty Corp. (CSE:CRZ) (OTCQX:CNNRF) ("CannaRoyalty" or the "Company"), a leading North American cannabis products and brands company, today announced the closing of the previously announced sale of CannaRoyalty's exclusive Canadian license to use and commercialize the pre-roll technology developed by Wagner Dimas to Aurora Cannabis Inc., ("Aurora Cannabis").

CannaRoyalty's exclusive Canadian license to use and commercialize pre-roll technology developed by Wagner Dimas was valued at $7 million¹ (the "Purchase Price") at the time of the execution of the binding term sheet. The Purchase Price is settled in 756,348 Aurora Cannabis common shares¹, which have now been issued to the Company. The value of these shares based on the closing price of Aurora Cannabis common shares on August 13, 2018, was approximately C$4.48 million.

"The sale of CannaRoyalty's Canadian license for the Wagner Dimas technology aligns with our stated commitment to create shareholder value by realizing value on high-quality assets, not directly used in the Company's distribution and brand network in its core market of California," said Marc Lustig, Chairman and CEO of CannaRoyalty. "The gain on the Company's early investment in Wagner Dimas validates its early identification of attractive investment opportunities in strategically important segments of the North American cannabis value chain. We believe Aurora Cannabis' leading Canadian business and its global portfolio of cannabis assets will provide a value maximizing platform for Wagner Dimas' technology."

¹ $9.255 per Aurora common share, based on the five-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of Aurora Cannabis Inc. stock to market close on July 11, 2018.
