Neil Closner, CEO of MedReleaf, added, "MedReleaf was founded on the belief that by striving to be the Medical Grade Standard and bringing the highest level of quality and rigor to the cannabis industry, we would produce safe, consistent, and effective products that help improve the quality of life of our patients and, in time, provide an unrivaled experience for the adult use consumer".
Canadian medical cannabis producer Aurora Cannabis Inc. said on Monday that it has agreed to buy MedReleaf Corp. for C$3.2 billion ($2.5 billion) in a deal that was guided by McMillan LLP.
The proposed Transaction brings together two of Canada's premier cannabis companies with fully-aligned strategic visions and production philosophies, as well as complementary assets, distribution networks, products, and capabilities. Aurora is leading the effort to consolidate the industry, having acquired more than 10 targets in the past two years.
"The combination strengthens our capacity to service the rapidly expanding global medical cannabis markets, and amplifies our early-mover advantage", Aurora Chief Executive Officer Terry Booth said in a statement.
The capitalization of the three biggest Canadian producers on the Toronto Stock Exchange has exploded in recent months. "Over the next couple weeks you'll see some more activity from Aurora", but nothing as large as the MedReleaf deal, he said. But, as Aurora's CCO says, they won't stop there - they're aiming "to become the world's largest cannabis company". This, in turn, would drive growth and opportunity for our business. A key official of MedReleaf is of the view that the firm's acquisition by Aurora will provide the shareholders an immediate premium. The company would also consider listing its shares in NY, he added.
