Together we are bullish on developing world class products with naturally occurring ingredients in clever and innovative ways for both humans and pets, which completely aligns with Creso Pharma's R&D and sales approach. The HighBrid Lab ramps up our objectives for near and long term growth targets, while potentially being a part of positive change. Together we are not shy, as our goal continues to be the People's Company, dedicated to providing global access to each of these naturally occurring ingredients while understanding that education, careful use, sustainability and data collection with consent are the keys to future success as regulations open up. The HighBrid Lab is a perfect name combining psychedelics and cannabis coupled with recreational use, science and technology. This is a monumental day for all of our shareholders and now their pets!"
Creso Pharma's Non-Executive Chairman, Mr. Adam Blumenthal said: "We are very excited to have entered into this agreement with Red Light Holland and to create a company that has the potential to become a world leading psychedelic, CBD and recreational and medicinal cannabis company. The transaction follows a considerable amount of due diligence undertaken by both parties, highlighting the strength of both Creso Pharma's and Red Light Holland's operations and abilities across a number of key international markets. There are a number of synergies across the businesses, which will allow the Combined Company to considerably scale up operations in the near term. Red Light's CSE-listed vehicle will allow the Combined Company to enter the lucrative US market and we anticipate that product sales through our recreational cannabis and CBD subsidiaries will scale up significantly in the short term, underpinning early cash generation and provide additional financial flexibility across the business."
"To oversee this rapid growth phase, the The HighBrid Lab will be led by an experienced board of directors and strategic advisors, who are expected to bring a wealth of knowledge to building successful cannabis, recreational products and psychedelics companies. Creso Pharma is very confident that Red Light Holland's established operations including a distribution arm and market understanding will provide a number of value catalysts. We look forward to working with the group to immediately refine our supply chain, increase brand awareness through North America and progress opportunities across the recreational and therapeutic psychedelics sectors to unlock value for new and existing shareholders."
