Bhang is contributing its know-how and intellectual property, including its trademarks and patents, to the JV and will collaborate with INDIVA on sales and marketing. Each of the parties has committed to contribute equally to the working capital of the JV.

Completion of the transaction contemplated herein remains subject to a number of conditions precedent. INDIVA does not anticipate completing its previously announced equity investment in Bhang until applicable regulatory approvals for such investment are obtained.
