Deep Roots Harvest Acquisition
C21 Investments has wrapped up the previously announced $3.5 million acquisition of a 6,500 square-foot, purpose-built, operational retail cannabis dispensary located in South Reno, Nevada in June.
Before that, the company closed a non-brokered private placement offering of its convertible debenture units for aggregate gross proceeds of CA$4 million ($2.9 million). C21 Investments used the net proceeds to fund the acquisition of Deep Roots Harvest, Inc.‘s assets – the Southern Reno retail cannabis dispensary – by its wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary, Silver State Relief, LLC.
"This large, purpose-built store, with its desirable location in a high-traffic, burgeoning area in South Reno, compliments our existing retail storefronts and will leverage our strong brand presence in the state," Newman said at the time. "We anticipate meaningful revenue growth, improved margins and expect this acquisition will be highly accretive to C21's bottom line. Rebranded under our Silver State Relief banner, we look forward to our new dispensary being operational in short order and will continue to actively pursue additional retail channels to build further shareholder value."
CXXIF Price Action
C21 Investments' shares traded 11% down at $0.2403 per share at the time of writing on Monday morning.
