With NWC's expertise we have advanced the renovation of the existing facilities at In The Zone to near completion. Construction of significant expansion capacity will commence as early as October immediately after closing," said Mr. Rosen.
We are very excited to be working with PharmaCan to build ITZ into a world-class producer of premium medical-grade cannabis," said NWC's CEO, Andrew Muroff.
Completion of the transaction is subject to a number of conditions and regulatory approval including Health Canada and exchange acceptance. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.
