VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Innovative Properties Inc. d/b/a Nabis Holdings (CSE: NAB; OTC: INNPF; FRA: 71P) (“Nabis” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that it, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, has signed a definitive agreement to purchase certain assets from PDT Technologies LLC (“PDT”), including extraction and production equipment and rights to lease its current production facility in Port Townsend, WA. In addition, the Company will purchase the exclusive licensing rights throughout the state of Washington to Chong’s Choice brand products, one of the leading and most recognizable brands in the cannabis space.
PDT owns and operates an already-established production facility that produces high grade cannabis concentrate. The Company is planning to spend approximately USD $3 million to further expand the existing facility with new highly specialized equipment, two new extraction lines, an extraction clean room and lab facility, capable of producing up to 20,500 KG of cannabis concentrate on an annual basis. The facility will be subleased to a licensed Washington cannabis processor.
The Chong’s Choice brand, as one-half of the legendary comedy duo Cheech & Chong, is a well-known brand in the cannabis space. The Company expects that the rights it will acquire to the Chong’s Choice brand will provide it with new opportunities to forge licensing relationships with state-licensed Washington processors.
“Our agreement with PDT stands to dramatically expand our footprint and licensing capabilities in the well-established, state of Washington,” said Shay Shnet, CEO and Director of Nabis. “In connection with the acquisition, our expansion of the existing facility with a new ISO designed extraction clean room and GMP lab facility falls squarely within our aggressive expansion plans. Additionally, the included licensing rights for the Chong’s Choice brand represents a compelling addition to the recreational and lifestyle aspect of the Company’s investment portfolio in intellectual property.”
As Washington State is a relatively mature state with proven metrics, the Company will continue to evaluate opportunities within the state, along with many other limited license states in the near term as part of the Company’s multi-state cannabis expansion strategy.
