A local hemp and CBD extraction firm has tapped institutional investors for US$3 million to cover costs related to a recent merger.
LiveWell Canada announced last December that it is acquiring Canada’s Vitality CBD Natural Health Products and its U.S. subsidiary. The reverse-takeover deal would see Vitality assume a majority stake in LiveWell, though the resultant company would remain headquartered in Ottawa with operations in Gatineau, Alberta and the U.S. Financial terms of this deal, which remains subject to regulatory approval, were not disclosed.
LiveWell says it is using this fresh injection of capital to cover the final costs on Vitality’s purchase of a CBD extraction facility in New Mexico.
