Today’s podcast overview/transcript:
Good morning and welcome to another episode of Investorideas.com “potcasts”, looking at cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.
Today’s podcast begins with an introduction of myself, Taylor Van Zant the host of our “potcasts” and after that I focus on a few early announcements from a few interesting companies.
Khiron Life Sciences Corp. (TSXV: KHRN), (OTCQB: KHRNF), an integrated cannabis company with its core operations in Latin America, announced today that the Company has signed an LOI with Copservir Ltda., Colombia's largest pharmacy chain, to distribute Khiron's medical cannabis products across the country. The companies have agreed to initial discounting and commercial fees and will work towards establishing a definitive commercial contract and detailed distribution plan to begin sales in the second half of 2019.
As Colombia's largest pharmacy chain, Copservir Ltda., operates over 900 stores across 200 cities and municipalities with a traditional brick and mortar presence representing 75% of its CAD 500 Million / year sales. In addition, a growing virtual presence represents 25% of its sales with an annual growth rate of over 20%. The company combines its retail and virtual presence with a strong distribution and logistics platform with four distribution centres in the main cities of Colombia and a home delivery service in 120 cities. This makes the Colombian Government-administered company the largest by store-count pharmacy chain in the country.
On completion of the agreement, Khiron will have established a compliant and secure distribution platform for its medical products across Colombia, starting with its custom-made pharmacy compound strategy. Copservir's extensive brick-and-mortar presence, virtual channel and distribution capability will allow Khiron to offer patients across the country the option for pick-up or home delivery of their medical cannabis formulations. Coupled with Khiron's ongoing medical education platform to educate and engage doctors and physicians across the country, this distribution strategy will allow Khiron to reach more patients in a safe, compliant and innovative matter.
Alvaro Torres, Khiron CEO and Director commented, "The proposed agreement with Copservir Ltda. represents a significant development for Khiron, offering the opportunity to leverage our first mover advantage to distribute medical cannabis products across Colombia and service the more than 5 million potential patients in the country. We also view Copservir entering the medical cannabis market as a milestone validation of the market opportunity in Colombia. By offering a platform that makes it easier for patients to access their formulations in a compliant and safe manner, Khiron establishes a leadership position in the medical cannabis market in Colombia."
The companies will work towards establishing definite commercial and distribution agreements to begin sales in the second half of 2019.
High Tide Inc. (CSE:HITI) (OTCQB:HITIF), an Alberta-based, retail-focused cannabis corporation enhanced by the manufacturing and wholesale distribution of smoking accessories and cannabis lifestyle products, announced that on Friday, April 26, 2019 the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario ("AGCO") approved and issued a Retail Operator Licence to High Tide's counterparty Dana Michele Kendal for the Canna Cabana Toronto store. A Retail Store Authorization will also be required to be issued by the AGCO for the Winner to finalize the set-up of the Toronto Store. The Winner is aiming to open Canna Cabana Toronto on or before June 1, 2019.
The Toronto Store is expected to be highest profile Canna Cabana-branded location in Canada. "From originally being selected by the Winner to help establish the Toronto Store, to achieving this important milestone part-way through the process, we are growing very keen to open this shop near the intersection of Yonge Street and College Street," said Raj Grover, President and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide. "High Tide's best efforts are being put toward this project and we look forward to the privilege of the Toronto Store becoming a part of the surrounding community for the long term," added Mr. Grover.

Zenabis Global Inc. (TSXV: ZENA) (OTC:ZBISF) announced that it has entered into a binding term sheet for a three-year supply arrangement with leading German pharmaceutical research company Farmako GmbH for: (1) the supply of biosynthetically produced pure CBD isolate oil (99.9%) from Farmako to Zenabis for sale in Canada; and (2) the supply of European Union Good Manufacturing Practices certified cannabis cultivated in Zenabis' indoor facilities in Canada for sale by Farmako to the German medical market.
Andrew Grieve, Chief Executive Officer of Zenabis, stated, "While Zenabis is committed to producing both hemp- and cannabis-derived CBD products, we are thrilled to have signed the very first commercial agreement globally of its kind for the purchase of biosynthetic cannabinoids. We are purchasing the CBD isolates from Farmako at an incredibly low cost, which will allow us to tap into the rapidly growing Canadian CBD market by supplying products that will be priced much more competitively than current market offerings. This partnership will also enable Zenabis to supply high-quality medical cannabis into Germany, one of the largest medical cannabis markets in the world, thereby establishing our position in the European cannabis market."
Farmako founder and chief executive officer, Niklas Kouparanis, said, "Signing the first deal in history to sell mass-produced CBD isolate created by biosynthesis to Zenabis is a significant milestone for both Farmako and for the global Cannabis industry.
