Wayland is one of three groups that have been selected and is subject to a review period, after which a final decision will be made no earlier than April 17, 2019.
Eugene Beukman, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of International Cannabis stated: “Wayland’s first mover advantage coupled with their surgical execution and best-in-class operations within the German cannabis market are further validated by this recent announcement. Wayland had the corporate foresight to identify Germany, early on, as one of the world’s most exciting medical cannabis markets due to its progressive regulations, geometrically growing patient population, and insurance coverage for over 60 per cent of prescriptions. ICC enthusiastically applauds Wayland’s selection by the BfArM, through its German joint venture Demecan GmbH, to begin domestic production of medical cannabis.”
As per the Company’s previously announced Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with Wayland to acquire 49.9 per cent of Wayland Group Corp.’s international assets and licence portfolio. Upon closing of the transaction, Wayland’s international assets and licences will be transferred to a subsidiary, owned by Wayland and International Cannabis, 50.1 per cent and 49.9 per cent, respectively. The international subsidiary will include key management, pharmaceutical professionals and operations personnel from Wayland.
