IN PART, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES.
Aura Health Inc. (the “
Company” or
“
Aura”) (
CSE:BUZZ) is
pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Green Global
Properties Inc. (“
GGPI”), has entered into a
definitive purchase and sale agreement dated April 30, 2019 (the
“
PSA”) with Empower Healthcare Assets Inc.
(“
Empower”), a Delaware corporation and
wholly-owned subsidiary of Empower Clinics Inc (CSE: CBDT),
pursuant to which Empower has acquired Aura’s indirectly-held U.S.
cannabis assets (the “
U.S.
Assets”), as previously announced on April 17,
2019 (the “
Transaction”). The U.S. Assets being
sold consist of three medical cannabis clinics in the U.S. sun
belt, in respect of which GGPI owned a 30% interest through three
limited liability companies.
In consideration for the U.S. Assets, GGPI
received a promissory note issued by Empower in the principal
amount of USD$125,000 (the “Promissory
Note”). The Promissory Note bears interest at a
rate of 4% per annum, matures on July 31, 2019 and may be prepaid
at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium.
Daniel Cohen, CEO of Aura commented, “We are
pleased to finalize the sale of Aura’s US assets. Closing of the
sale opens a number of doors for the Company, including making Aura
eligible to investments from a number of different financial
institutions, which do not invest in companies with US cannabis
assets.”
The Transaction satisfies an escrow release
condition, pursuant to the subscription receipt agreement entered
by the Company on February 27, 2019 in connection with the
previously announced private placement subscription receipt
offering.
