Pasha Brands Starts Trading Under Exchange Symbol CRFT

VANCOUVER, June 3, 2019 /CNW/ - Pasha Brands Ltd. ("Pasha") (CSE: CRFT), Canada's largest craft cannabis organization, announced today that trading of its common shares will commence at market open today under exchange symbol "CRFT" on the Canadian Stock Exchange ("CSE"). This follows the completion of the reverse takeover of Broome Capital Inc. ("Broome") (TSXV: BCP).

Although new to the public markets, Pasha is Canada's only prohibition-era brand house and already the most significant force in Canada's craft cannabis community. The vertically integrated craft cannabis organization operates as a brand house representing Canada's most established craft cannabis cultivators, producers and retailers. Within the Pasha umbrella resides award-winning brands that have firmly established themselves, pre-legalization, in British Columbia – a region known around the world for its high quality craft cannabis product. Prior to legalization, the brands now owned by Pasha, while operating in the prohibition-era, ranked among the leading revenue producing companies now operating in the regulated industry.

"Today is historic for both Pasha Brands and the Canadian craft cannabis community," said Patrick Brauckmann, Executive Chairman of Pasha Brands. "Our listing not only marks the beginning for Pasha as a publicly traded company, but confirms our unwavering commitment to help take growers and brands, many of which played a role in making legalization happen, into the legal marketplace."

Beyond the brands' achievements, Pasha is led by a team who is well-known and well-respected in the Canadian craft cannabis community. Each member of Pasha's leadership team has uniques ties to the cannabis industry, which ultimately drives their motivation to bring craft cannabis to consumers on a global scale.

Pasha's wholly-owned subsidiary, BC Craft Supply Co. Ltd. ("BC Craft"), will assist micro-cultivators through development, licensing, testing, and distribution of craft cannabis products, in exchange for a guaranteed supply agreement with each micro-cultivator. Similar to Pasha, BC Craft has also amassed some of the most experienced growers in the industry who have laid the foundation for legal cannabis to exist today. Under the Health Canada framework, each micro-cultivator will be able to legally process approximately 500 kilograms of dried flower per year. For every 100 micro-cultivators BC Craft secures, up to 50,000 kilograms of world-class craft cannabis could be available to the market via Canada's regulated supply chain.
