Canadian Cannabis Corporation Expands Operations in Ontario-Set to Acquire Majority Stake in Hemisphere Pharmaceutical


TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - March 3, 2015) - Canadian Cannabis Corporation (OTCBB:CCAN) ("CCC") today announced the execution of a Letter of Intent that provides for the acquisition of 60% of the outstanding shares in 8455562 Canada Inc. d/b/a Hemisphere Pharmaceutical ("HPI") based in Brantford, Ontario.

Both HPI and CCC have separate applications to become a Licensed Producer under MMPR. Both companies are currently being reviewed by Health Canada. On February 2, 2014, HPI reached a milestone when it received its "Ready to Build Letter" from Health Canada.

The acquisition would provide CCC with access to all of the operating assets of HPI, including its proposed site at 67 Sinclair Blvd., Brantford, Ontario. The location is in close proximity to CCC's proposed facility in Brampton, Ontario.

"The acquisition of this new proposed site positions CCC to accelerate our business plan and start cultivating earlier than we expected," said Benjamin Ward, CEO of Canadian Cannabis Corporation. "The successful acquisition of HPI, its close proximity to our 100 Rutherford location and an existing 'Ready to Build Letter' from Health Canada places us in an advantageous position."

The "Ready to Build Letter" applies to HPI's facility capable of growing 3,000 kg of high grade medical marihuana and associated processing, packaging, storage, distribution and administration capacity.

Neither HPI nor CCC will possess, produce, sell, provide, ship, deliver, transport or destroy marihuana until licensed to do so by Health Canada.

With the Letter of Intent executed, CCC and HPI will begin their due diligence and negotiations with plans to close the transaction on or about April 1, 2015.
