TORONTO, Aug. 22, 2023 /CNW/ – Humble & Fume Inc. (CSE: HMBL) (OTCQX: HUMBF) (“Humble” or the “Company”), a leading North American distributor of cannabis and cannabis accessories, today bolstered its expansion plans as it announced an additional $4 million USD investment by Green Acre Capital Distribution Corp. (“Green Acre”) into HC Solutions Holdings Inc. (“HCI”), a joint venture company established by Humble and Green Acre. The focus of this venture continues to be the strategic distribution of cannabis products across the United States, with a primary focus on California.
Green Acre has financed its investment through an option agreement with Johnson Brothers, a leading wine, spirits, and beer distributor in the United States. Further information on the JV, Green Acre and Johnson Brothers is set out in the company’s Nov. 15, 2021, and April 25, 2022, press releases. This innovative financing approach aligns with Humble’s ethos of seeking strategic partnerships that leverage industry expertise and resources to fuel expansion.
Green Acre and Johnson’s commitment, in the form of this substantial financial infusion, underscores their steadfast support for Humble’s growth trajectory within the cannabis distribution landscape. This augmented partnership capitalizes on the synergies between the parties, amplifying their combined influence in the rapidly evolving cannabis market.
“Securing this additional $4 million USD investment represents another significant step forward in our strategic plan for growth and market presence,” commented Jakob Ripshtein, CEO of Humble. “We are proud to deepen our relationship with our partners and appreciate their unwavering confidence in our ability to drive forward within the competitive landscape of cannabis distribution.”
By leveraging the financial backing and strategic acumen of its partners, Humble is poised to seize new opportunities, broaden its product offerings, and enhance its operational capabilities. The investment increases Green Acre’s ownership stake in HCI from 50.2% to 75%, while Humble retains the remaining 25%.
Green Acre has also granted to Humble an option for a period of six months to acquire 50% of the common shares of HCI acquired by Green Acre pursuant to the subscription described above for an aggregate purchase price of $2 million USD.
