Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 27, 2018) - Jiminex Inc. (TSXV: JIM.H) ("Jiminex" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent (the "LOI") dated June 26, 2018 with Cannabco Pharmaceutical Corp. ("Cannabco") whereby the parties will complete a business combination by way of a transaction that will constitute a reverse takeover of the Company by Cannabco (the "Transaction"). Pursuant to the Transaction, the Company will apply to delist from the NEX Board of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").

It is currently anticipated that the Transaction will be effected by way of a three-cornered amalgamation involving Cannabco and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jiminex (the "Amalgamation"). The resulting issuer that will exist upon completion of the Transaction (the "Resulting Issuer") will change its business from mining to the cannabis industry. The final structure of the Transaction will be determined by the parties following receipt of tax, corporate and securities law advice. The Transaction is an arm's length transaction. Upon the closing of the Transaction (the "Closing"), it is expected that current shareholders of the Company will hold 3.87% of the common shares of the Resulting Issuer (the "Resulting Issuer Shares") and current shareholders of Cannabco will hold 96.13% of the Resulting Issuer Shares (on a non-diluted basis).

Description of Cannabco and its Business

Cannabco was established with the intent of becoming a licensed cannabis producer under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations.  Cannabco utilizes an exclusive and proprietary commercial cultivation technology to improve yields and product quality, while reducing production costs when compared to a standard indoor grow facility.  Cannabco is currently in the process of licensing its 17,500 sq/ft facility in the Greater Toronto Area and has plans for an expansion facility.  Operations have been tailored for the facilities to provide medical and recreational grade Cannabis to the Canadian market as well as the potential export of oils, extracts, and pharmaceutical grade isolates to the global marketplace.

Share Consolidation and Exchange of Securities

Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, the Company will effect a consolidation (the "Share Consolidation") of its issued and outstanding common shares (the "Jiminex Shares") prior to Closing on a 3.886:1 basis resulting in approximately 4,995,008 Jiminex Shares outstanding on a post-Share Consolidation basis.

In accordance with the terms of the Transaction, the Company shall acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of Cannabco ("Cannabco Shares") in exchange for Jiminex Shares on a one-for-one basis. The deemed exchange price for the Jiminex Shares will be $0.20 per Jiminex Share, or such other price as permitted by governing regulatory bodies. Subject to the receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, Cannabco will pay a finder's fee to an unrelated third party in connection with the Transaction in the amount of $20,000.

Jiminex Shareholder Meeting

Prior to the completion of the Transaction, Jiminex will call a meeting of its shareholders for the purpose of approving, among other matters:

  • a change of name of the Company, as directed by Cannabco and acceptable to the applicable regulatory authorities, to be effective upon Closing;
  • the Share Consolidation;
  • the reconstitution of the Company's board of directors; and
  • the de-listing of the Jiminex Shares to the extent required by the TSXV.

Management of the Resulting Issuer

If the Transaction is completed, it is anticipated that the board of directors of the Resulting Issuer shall be reconstituted to consist of such directors as Jiminex and Cannabco shall determine, and certain officers of Jiminex shall resign and be replaced with officers appointed by the new board of directors.
