Body and Mind Inc. (CSE: BAMM, OTCQB: BMMJ) (the “Company” or “BaM”), an operations-driven multistate cannabis company, is pleased to provide an update on construction progress of the new Body and Mind-branded dispensary in Markham, Illinois, as well as the divestment of the Company’s dispensary in Michigan, which is owned through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, DEP Nevada, Inc (“DEP”).
“We are excited to receive our temporary occupancy permit for the Markham dispensary and are expecting to open our first Illinois dispensary within the next weeks”, stated Michael Mills, CEO of Body and Mind. “Our development team has completed the buildout of the new operation within tight timelines and budgets and our experienced managers and leaders from other Body and Mind operations have been integral to set up, hiring, marketing and standing up the new operation. We are looking forward to bringing our exceptional customer service, cannabis knowledge, and product selection to the Markham area. Our Markham dispensary, along with our other assets in Illinois and New Jersey, are the near-term future of this company and we are streamlining our organization to focus on the success of these projects. As part of that strategy, we have executed definitive documents to divest our Michigan Body and Mind dispensary to a third-party.”
Consideration for the Michigan divesture by way of a stock purchase agreement includes assumption of the dispensary’s long-term lease, purchase of inventory and a working capital-adjustment. Additionally, the third-party purchaser will manage the dispensary pursuant to a management agreement while the parties pursue approval of the change of control through Michigan regulatory authorities.
The Company has options to acquire the Body and Mind-branded dispensary in Markham, Illinois along with the other Illinois Body and Mind-branded dispensary pursuant to a convertible credit facility between DEP and each of NMG IL 1, LLC and NMG IL 4, LLC and membership interest purchase agreements between DEP and the members of NMG IL 1, LLC and NMG IL 4, LLC. The dispensaries are managed by the Company.
