Closing of the sale opens a number of doors for the Company, including making Aura eligible to investments from a number of different financial institutions, which do not invest in companies with US cannabis assets.”

The Transaction satisfies an escrow release condition, pursuant to the subscription receipt agreement entered by the Company on February 27, 2019 in connection with the previously announced private placement subscription receipt offering.
