Halo Labs Inc. HALO AGEEF announced Tuesday that it has entered into a binding letter of intent to acquire all of the common shares of the U.K. company Canmart Limited.

The company said it plans to purchase, partner and apply to attain more national licenses within Europe and other regions to enable direct market access for its products created from cannabis cultivated in Lesotho.

The deal is expected to close in the next 75 days.

"The U.K. is one of the world’s largest individual cannabis markets," Kiran Sidhu, Halo’s CEO and co-founder, said in a statement. ”Our goal is to become a major player in the U.K. in the coming years. With the quality and cost of medical cannabis we are growing in Lesotho, the acquisition of Canmart will put us in prime position to grow our business as cannabis-based medicinal treatments become more mainstream across Great Britain.”

Halo Labs shares closed Tuesday's session down 4.18% at 20 cents.
