US (FL): Cannabist Company sells 14 dispensaries, 2 cultivation and manufacturing plants
Consideration for the MINT/SHANGO Transaction, subject to adjustment, is $5 million. Upon closing, the MINT/SHANGO JV paid a closing consideration of approximately $3 million in cash and issued a $2 million promissory note. $750k of this consideration was already held in escrow. Additionally, the MINT/SHANGO JV transferred to the Company all outstanding equity interest in its MMTC license entity, which the Company expects to divest to an additional third party.
The transaction includes 14 Cannabist dispensaries, two cultivation and manufacturing facilities in Alachua and Arcadia, and The Cannabist Company’s MMTC license.
“This sale is a key part of our ongoing strategy to streamline our company portfolio and strengthen the balance sheet as we build a better, more sustainable business. We are grateful for all the hard work and dedication from our Florida team and know they will be in good hands with the MINT/SHANGO JV. We continue to work towards closing the Lakeland transaction for an additional $11.4 million, and we can now proceed with the planned sale of the MMTC license received in the MINT/SHANGO transaction,” said David Hart, CEO, of The Cannabist Company.
