MJardin Provides Corporate Update and Next Phase of Strategic Plan
31 March 2020 - 11:00PM
MJardin Group, Inc. (“MJardin” or “the Company”) (CSE: MJAR)
(OTCQX: MJARF), a leader in premium cannabis production, announced
today that as part of its ongoing review, evaluation and turnaround
process, it has actioned amendments to the Managed Services
Agreements (“MSAs”) which were negotiated and put in place by
previous management. As part of the same review process,
MJardin is also terminating its previously announced joint venture
partnership with Rama First Nation that included prospective plans
for a cultivation facility. The Company continues to work with its
MSA partners and Rama First Nation to finalize the updated
agreements.
MSAs
The amended MSAs will provide a streamlined royalty fee
structure which will allow for the monetization of the Company’s
intellectual property and proprietary cultivation methodologies. In
addition, the amendments will reduce ongoing management
obligations, thus reducing costs and placing less cash flow demands
on the Company.
The Company has agreed to amend, terminate and extend its MSAs
with Potco, LLC & Potco South, LLC, Next1 Labs, LLC, Next1 Labs
South, LLC, and Gravitas Henderson, LLC dba F&L Warm Springs,
LLC to December 31, 2020. In addition, the Company and Lightshade
Labs, LLC, are in final stage discussions to extend their MSA for a
period of 14-months. The Company is also finalizing its
renegotiation of its MSA with AtlantiCann Medical Inc., pursuant to
which the Company will earn a royalty for the balance of the
existing 10-year agreement, but will no longer provide labour
support to the operation.
RAMA Venture
The decision to dissolve of the joint venture partnership with
Rama First Nation, and its prospective 94,000 sq. ft. indoor
greenhouse cultivation facility, was based on fiscal
responsibility, preservation of the Company’s capital in today’s
economic climate, and developments in the cannabis cultivation
market in Canada.
“I have nothing but great respect and admiration for our Rama
First Nation partners, but I have to make these difficult business
decisions in an effort to allocate capital where it makes most
sense, while ensuring that we don’t take on more debt until we have
successfully turned this business around,” said Pat Witcher, CEO of
MJardin Group. “This decision, along with restructuring our
pre-existing MSAs to remove the burdensome management costs we were
incurring is in the best interest of the Company and all of its
stakeholders.”
