VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nabis Holdings Inc. (CSE:NAB) (OTC: NABIF) (FRA: A2PL) (“NabisTM” or the “Company”), a leading Canadian investment company with specialty investments in assets across multiple divisions of the cannabis sector, today announced that it has completed the purchase of 2,260,500 common shares, representing a 49% interest, of Cannova Medical Ltd. (“Cannova”), a provider of innovative solutions for cannabis consumption, with the option to acquire the remaining 51% interest.
Cannova, based in Israel, is developing an alternative method for cannabis consumption in the form of a sublingual strip. The sublingual strips are infused with cannabis molecules that are produced using a patent-protected process involving the combination of various formulations with water soluble cannabinoids and natural active ingredients. The sublingual strip allows producers to more effectively control dosage quantities and significantly increases the effect of the cannabis, allowing it to be used for a variety of purposes including pain management, concentration, as an antidepressant, and to support better sleep.
Additionally, Cannova is developing the NovaJet Pro (“NovaJet”), an innovative, counter-top machine that enables clients to create customized film strips at the convenience of their homes, in real time. With the NovaJet, clients will be able to receive accurate and tailored sublingual strips with specific measured quantities of cannabinoids and other natural substances, customised to their unique demand.
As per the purchase agreement, Nabis will retain Exclusive Distribution Rights to both Cannova’s sublingual strips, as well as the company’s NovaJet printing machine. The products will be marketed to both the recreational and medical markets.
“Our goal for strategic investments at Nabis is to enter multiple aspects of the cannabis sector including related technology,” said Shay Shnet, CEO & Director of Nabis. “The Cannova team is focused on developing innovative solutions addressing an industry wide concern to have the ability to better measure cannabis consumption. We are thrilled to have closed our 49% interest acquisition enabling the Cannova team to bring this disruptive technology to market at an increased pace.”
“At Cannova we are developing unique solutions addressing the unmet need for reliable and customized cannabis consumption. The combination of cannabis with smart and innovative technology is key to the future of both medical and recreational cannabis usage,” said Omri Schanin, Founder & CEO of Cannova. “We are excited to work with the Nabis team leveraging their extensive experience and capabilities to help us reach our growth goals faster.”
