VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 23, 2020 / FinCanna Capital Corp. ("FinCanna") (CSE:CALI)(OTCQB:FNNZF) a royalty company for the U.S. licensed cannabis industry is pleased to announce that its portfolio company, QVI Inc., a cannabis-infused product manufacturer located in Sonoma County, California and doing business as "The Galley", has been issued its Distribution Type 11 license by the California Bureau of Cannabis Control.
The Type 11 Distribution license is an important addition to QVI receiving its Manufacturing license announced last week, as it positions the facility to deliver a full spectrum of licensed services further supporting the QVI value proposition as a "one-stop shop" for both in and out-of-state brands. The Type 11 License authorizes the transporting of cannabis goods between licensees including delivery to retail outlets, arranging for testing of cannabis goods and conducting the quality assurance review of cannabis goods to ensure compliance with all packaging and labeling requirements.
The Galley facility is built to FDA and CDPH standards and is focused on high demand areas of production; Edibles, Topicals, Tinctures, Chocolates, Hard Candies, Gummies, Beverages, Vapes, Pre-Rolls and Flower Packaging.
Annie Holman Co-Founder of QVI said, "This Distribution license allows us to deliver additional important services to our clients, greatly simplifying their transport and logistics requirements allowing them to focus on what they do best which is to build great brands. We are currently onboarding new co-manufacturing clients at our state-of-the-art facility and are pleased to now provide all distribution related services in becoming a true "one-stop" service provider.
"The acquisition of the Distribution license is another important accomplishment for QVI as they have now, under one roof, connected the licensed supply chain from cultivator to retailer. This end-to-end capability further enhances their value proposition to cannabis brands looking to scale their business," said Andriyko Herchak, CEO of FinCanna Capital. "QVI's superior competitive positioning supports long-term growth as they continue to build on the strong demand for their services they are currently experiencing."
QVI expects to be shipping finished products from its 8,300 square foot state-of-the-art co-manufacturing facility to the market within the next three to five weeks.
Under the Royalty Agreement, FinCanna will receive a tiered corporate royalty, adjusted based on revenues, ranging from 15% to 6% of QVI's total revenues, with the top royalty rate of 15% on the first US$20 million of annual sales until cumulative royalties to FinCanna of US$10 million are achieved. In addition, FinCanna is entitled to earn a Supplemental Payment, when coupled with the royalty, will now ensure FinCanna receives a minimum of 35% of the annual after-tax net income from QVI. The supplemental payment will accrue annually and be paid out upon certain triggering events, including a change of control, an initial public offering or certain other specified events of QVI.
