The Acquisition was completed pursuant to a share exchange agreement (the “Purchase Agreement“), dated April 7, 2020, and entered into with an arms-length third-party (the “Vendor“).

In consideration for the Acquisition, the Company has issued 21,000,000 common shares.

Its business plan calls for a further phase 2 expansion of the facility. Folium aims to produce a high quality and consistent cannabis product through its facilities.
“Canada has been a pioneer in legalization and early adoption of cannabis for both recreational and medical purposes. This equity position in a well-capitalized licensed producer provides Mota with a sound financial investment in the sector.” stated Ryan Hoggan, CEO of the Company.
Each of the Vendor, the Target, and Folium are at arms-length from the Company. The Acquisition does not constitute a fundamental change for the Company, nor has it resulted in a change of control of the Company within the meaning of applicable securities laws and the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange.
