Eviana Health Corporation delivers customized consumer health care products using natural hemp strains of cannabis sativa for cannabinoid-based topical creams and products and cosmeceutical and nutraceutical merchandise. Post-closing, Organigram will own ~26% of Eviana’s outstanding shares on a non-diluted basis and ~40% on a fully-diluted basis.

Additionally, the Companies have negotiated the preliminary terms of an off-take agreement whereby Organigram shall have the right to purchase up to 50% of Eviana’s annual CBD oil production (or comparable form including but not limited to crystals) at 95% of the agreed raw CBD oil (or equivalent) wholesale price for a period of five years. The option to purchase a percentage of Eviana’s annual CBD oil production is based on Organigram’s continued ownership in Eviana. This potential investment supports Organigram’s aggressive growth strategy and helps ensure that Organigram is well prepared to meet the international demand for CBD oil.

Organigram Holdings Inc’s stock currently trades at market capitalization of $623.1 million on the TSX with price-to-book ratio of 3.87x.
