Cannabis Wheaton Income Corp. (CWBTF) acquired Canadian private cannabis company Robinson’s Cannabis Incorporated in an all-stock deal. Cannabis Wheaton will acquire all of Robinson’s issued and outstanding shares.
Robinson’s is currently building a 27,700 square foot purpose-built facility for cannabis cultivation in Kentville, Nova Scotia. Robinson’s doesn’t have a license at this time but has completed the review process on paper and is confirming its readiness stage.
According to the company statement, Robinson shareholders will receive 5,369,126 common shares upon closing of the acquisition, 2,013,421 common shares issued and held in escrow to be released to Robinson’s shareholders upon Robinson’s receiving a cultivation license under the ACMPR and 2,013,421 common shares issued and held in escrow to be released to the Robinson’s shareholders when the company receives a sales authorization under the ACMPR.
Cannabis Wheaton seems to be focused on expanding its cultivation portfolio. The company also recently said it had entered into a joint venture with Peter Quiring, one of the largest greenhouse builders and operators in Canada, to build a brand new cannabis greenhouse facility in Leamington, Ontario. The joint venture will operate through a newly formed subsidiary dubbed GreenhouseCo. Quiring will act as Chief Executive Officer of GreenhouseCo.
