LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 2, 2021 / Cannabis Global, Inc. (OTC PINK:CBGL), an innovation-oriented company investing in and growing operations in disruptive areas of the cannabis and hemp-related industries, today announces it has increased its ownership stake in Natural Plant Extract of California, Inc. ("NPE"), which operates a licensed cannabis manufacturing and distribution business operation in Lynwood, California. NPE owns a Type 7 California Manufacturing License as well as a California Distribution license. Under the terms of the agreement, which closed on January 27, 2021, the Company is purchasing an additional (18.8%) of Natural Plant Extract's outstanding capital stock, bringing its full ownership position to approximately 37.6%. In exchange for the 18.8% ownership, the Company will issue approximately 11.4 million restricted shares to the seller, which cannot be sold for one year, unless a registration statement is filed and effective covering the shares. Cannabis Global plans to assist in the operations of NPE and work with the NPE team on synergistic cannabis distribution and product manufacturing opportunities.
"We have expanded our ownership position in NPE as we believe it has a potent mix of upcoming product offerings and an exceptional management team headed by cannabis industry veterans with extensive business leadership, marketing, and branding experience. We see strong synergies with this management team and business model moving forward," commented Arman Tabatabaei, CEO of Cannabis Global.
NPE has also assembled capable advisors and investors, led by a highly successful high net worth California land developer, entrepreneur, and philanthropist who has recently acquired the Lynwood property and a substantial ownership stake in NPE. Marketing expert and business consultant Jim Riley also comes on-board to round out the experience of the team. Jim is also an independent Board member of Cannabis Global and will be taking the lead to help oversee the investment on behalf of the Company.
NPE and the Company plan to finish the build-out of a full-scale, state-of-the-art cannabis extraction and product manufacturing facility, scheduled to be completed during the first half of 2021. The products manufactured at the Lynwood site, and products manufactured by other companies, will then be distributed to retailers throughout California via Northern Lights Distribution, a subsidiary of NPE. Aside from the extracted product inputs and finished consumer products, the Cannabis Global team will also have access to a state-of-the-art portfolio of botanically derived and cannabis-inspired terpenes.
