MPX International Corporation (CSE:MPXI); (CNSX:MPXI.CN); (OTC:MPXOF) (“MPX International”, “MPXI” or the “Corporation”), a multinational diversified cannabis company, is pleased to announce that it has acquired all of the intellectual property of 11157337 Canada Corp and H12 Brands Inc. (“H12”), including several well-established brands and distribution channels pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated November 30, 2021. The H12 business will be integrated with MPXI’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Canveda Inc. (“Canveda), a license holder under the Cannabis Act (Canada)..
The acquisition of H12’s intellectual property provides Canveda with several new highly recognized cannabis brands and products which are listed with the provincial boards of British Colombia, Alberta, Ontario and independent licensed distributors in Saskatchewan. The most recognizable brands are Kingsway pre-rolls which are marketed in two versions, namely “Day Shift” (Sativa) and “Night Shift” (Indica) as well as the successful Daize brand of full spectrum vapes.
The previous business model for High 12 Brand’s required a partnership with a group of licensed producers which manufactured the products under license from H12 and sold them directly to the provincial cannabis boards. High 12 was not itself a licensed cannabis producer. The acquisition by MPXI will allow its wholly owned subsidiary, Canveda Inc, a fully Health Canada License Holder to produce, market and promote the High 12 Brands directly to the boards generating much higher margins than were available to H12.
Several new products/concepts have been developed and presented to the provincial boards including additional full spectrum vapes currently in vogue in the vape market. BC and Ontario have already accepted to list these new products. The Kingsway product line has been expanded with a new “Split Shift” concept of a multi-pack 14- unit pre-roll pack with 7 sativa and 7 indica pre-rolls. As well, the “Pennies” brand, a low-cost package of 5 soft gels has recently been introduced into BC and Alberta with a great response.
Additionally, the acquisition brought new sales and marketing talent to Canveda. Joining Canveda as Vice President of Business Development is Jaime Cahill. Jaime has spent the last two years working in the cannabis industry launching products under H12’s brand portfolio in Canada and learning about the European medical cannabis market. She was previously an investment banker at National Bank after earning her MBA in Finance from Dalhousie University and a BSc in Chemistry at St. Francis Xavier University. Jaime is thrilled to be joining a passionate team at Canveda and looks forward to bringing new and innovative products to the market as the cannabis industry continues to grow.
Tanner Baines has accepted the position as Canveda’s National Sales Director. Tanner has spent the past year working with retail networks to successfully launch H12 branded products across Canada. Prior to joining the cannabis industry, he managed teams and operations in the craft beer industry. With a strong background in sales, Tanner is very excited to be joining the talented team at Canveda and looks forward to expanding brand recognition and sales of Canveda’s brands across the country.
“The acquisition of the High 12 Brands is a pivotal step for our Canadian recreational business. The diversity of the product selection, as well as the high-level brand recognition by consumers will allow us greater market penetration in the crowded Canadian recreational cannabis space,” said Michael Arnkvarn, Chief Operating Officer, Canada of MPXI. “Additional products and brands are in development and will be announced in due course allowing Canveda to augment revenues and earnings and to stay relevant with our customers.”
