CordovaCann Completes Acquisition of Cannabis Extraction Operation in Washington

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / March 1, 2021 / CordovaCann Corp. (CSE:CDVA)(OTCQB:LVRLF)(“Cordova” or the “Company”), a cannabis-focused consumer products company, is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cordova WA Holdings, Inc., has completed the purchase of Extraction Technologies, Inc. (“Extraction Tech”), an arm’s length Washington-based company that provides cannabis extraction services and end products to licensed cannabis operators and retailers in the State (the “Transaction”). Pursuant to the Letter of Intent announced on October 23, 2020, this acquisition will enable Cordova to provide manufactured cannabis products on both a white label and branded basis throughout the State of Washington.

Extraction Tech, headquartered in Bremerton, Washington, manufactures a variety of cannabis derivative products via tolling agreements and white label manufacturing contracts. The business is expanding its customer base and product offerings and will continue to be led by the strong operational team that founded the business.

The acquisition of Extraction Tech includes purchase of a 10,900 sq. ft. manufacturing building, processing equipment, and contracts with tolling and white label customers. The consideration for the Transaction is three million (3,000,000) common shares of the Company issued upon closing and five hundred thousand (500,000) common shares of the Company for every $125,000 US dollars in EBITDA generated by Extraction Tech during the 12-month period beginning on the 3-month anniversary of the Closing Date and ending of the 15-month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Earnout Payment”). The maximum Earnout Payment that can be earned by Extraction Tech is four million (4,000,000) common shares, which will be earned if the business generates $1,000,000 US dollars or greater in EBITDA over that 12-month period.

“We welcome the Extraction Tech team to the Cordova family and are excited to enter the Washington market through this very attractive acquisition,” said Taz Turner, Chairman and CEO of Cordova. The contracts that have been assembled by Extraction Tech position it for strong growth in the near-term and we anticipate the acquisition to be immediately accretive for Cordova. We look forward to expanding in Washington in the near future.”
