Why This Is Important

After the transaction is closed, Ascent Industries will continue to operate in the United States. It has facilities in Oregon, where it has licenses to process and distribute cannabis to any licensed entity and Nevada, where it holds cultivation, production, processing and wholesale distribution licenses.

Ascent also has operations in Denmark through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Agrima ApS, which is waiting for the approval of Wholesaler Dealers License and Controlled Drug License and licenses for eight products for the Danish Medical Cannabis Pilot Program.
