GB Sciences Receives $4,150,000 and Completes the Sale of Its Louisiana Operations to Wellcana Plus
LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / January 12, 2021 / GB Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB:GBLX) completed the sale of its remaining interest in GB Sciences Louisiana LLC (“GBSLA”) on December 16, 2020.
In November 2019, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Wellcana Plus, LLC (“Wellcana”), whereby Wellcana would acquire the Company’s 50% membership interest in GBSLA. Since then, certain modifications of the Agreement had taken place so GB Sciences would be paid a total of $4,900,000: $4,150,000 in one lump sum at closing, in addition to the $750,000 already received, rather than over time to complete the sale to Wellcana. A portion of the proceeds from this sale were used to completely satisfy the Company’s obligations to Iliad Reseach and Trading, LP.
John Poss, CEO and Chairman of GB Sciences, stated, “We have the highest respect for Wellcana and wish them continued success in bringing relief to patients in Louisiana. That said, completing this sale is a nice way to close out a tough year.”
Andrea Small-Howard, Chief Science Officer and Director of both GB Sciences and GBS Global Biopharma, Inc., remarked, “This brings us a big step forward in turning our attention from the past towards the future, where we can focus 100% of our attention and capital on developing our existing cannabis-based combination therapies and on new research to enrich our already promising patent portfolio.”
