"Recent changes to the laws in California, have opened up the market for direct delivery across the state and have made delivery the fastest growing segment of the California cannabis market," said John Durfy, the CEO of High Fusion. "We are very excited about our licensing arrangement with MJ Direct and look forward to growing this portion of our business."
The terms of the Licensing Agreement provide for the exclusive use of software and intellectual property by the Company for two years and a one-time licensing fee of US$500,000 (Canadian $675,000) the payment for which will be satisfied through the issuance of multiple voting shares of the Company at a price of $0.10 per share resulting in the issuance of 6,750,000 multiple voting shares.
