Wayland Group Closes Transaction with ICC International Cannabis Corp.

Wayland Group (CSE:WAYL) (FRANKFURT: 75M) (OTCQB:MRRCF) (“Wayland” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has completed a transaction relating to the sale of a 49.9% interest in Maricann B.V. (“Wayland International”), to ICC International Cannabis Corp. (CSE:WRLD.u) (FW8:8K51) (OTC:KNHBF) (“ICC”) pursuant to the terms of an amended and restated transaction agreement and related subscription agreement. Wayland now beneficially owns approximately 246,614,000 shares of ICC representing approximately 37% of the outstanding ICC shares following closing on a fully diluted basis.

Under the terms of the agreement, ICC is expected to subsequently acquire a 49.9% interest in the balance of Wayland’s international portfolio of assets and, upon completion of that acquisition, Wayland would beneficially own an aggregate of 300,000,000 ICC shares, representing an ownership interest in ICC of approximately 41.7%. Wayland intends to distribute ICC shares to its shareholders following completion of these transactions and upon receipt of any applicable approvals required to distribute these shares on a tax effective basis.

In connection with the transaction, ICC has purchased $6,357,836.91 of infrastructure and equipment from Wayland and agreed to make a cash contribution of $10 million to the capital of Wayland International. ICC has also indicated that it will make advances of a further $15 million in connection with Wayland’s joint venture Demecan GmbH relating to the three lots of production awarded to the joint venture in Germany by the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM). ICC’s contributions and advances will not increase its pro rata interest in Wayland International.

Wayland and ICC have entered into an investor rights agreement providing for certain customary rights in favour of Wayland with respect to its interest in ICC, including the right to nominate one member of ICC’s six-person board of directors. Wayland retains the right to appoint the board of directors and management of Wayland International. ICC and Wayland have also agreed to discuss in good faith the entering into of a supply and distribution agreement with respect to the potential supply of EU-GMP certified cannabis by Wayland to ICC.

Wayland’s previously announced strategic review continues to explore options to maximize the value of Wayland’s international and Canadian businesses for the benefit of its shareholders and other stakeholders, and such options may include transactions with other third parties.
