The Flowr Corporation (“
Flowr” or the
“
Company”) (TSXV: FLWR, OTC: FLWPF) is pleased to
provide an operational update on its Canadian operations and the
progress in maintaining its status as a premium cannabis producer
and making the requisite changes to its operations in order to
reach profitability.
Sale of Non-Revenue Generating
Asset
The Company has entered into an agreement to
sell its interest in the Kelowna Research Station R&D facility
(the “KRS Facility”) to Hawthorne Canada Limited
(“Hawthorne”) for an aggregate purchase price of
$16 million (the “KRS Sale”), to be paid as
follows: 1) an initial cash payment of $3.0 million; 2) full
extinguishment of the principal amount outstanding under the
existing loan agreement between Flowr and Hawthorne for the
construction of the KRS Facility on closing, currently at
approximately $12 million; and 3) the balance of the purchase price
paid in cash upon closing. The KRS Sale is expected to close in Q2
2022 and is subject to certain closing conditions, including
receipt of all necessary regulatory and third-party approvals.
“The KRS building and Hawthorne partnership has
given us the ability to trial and commercialize exotic and unique
cannabis strains, giving us a competitive advantage in the Canadian
market,” commented Darryl Brooker, Chief Executive Officer. “Moving
forward we will maintain a very close relationship with Hawthorne
and will continue to benefit from shared Research and Development
and the partnership will continue through a service agreement. In
addition, this transaction further improves Flowr’s balance sheet
with the cash proceeds of approximately $4 million and the
elimination of $12 million of long-term debt outstanding.”
New Product Launches
Flowr is pleased to announce that four new
genetics, BC Clementine Crush, BC Lemon Ice, BC Spiced Grape and BC
Mango Melon OG, have been approved for listing across multiple
provinces, including Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia,
launching in the months of March, April and May 2022. These
additional listings will continue Flowr’s push to offer consumers
differentiated exotic genetics, with high THC, high terpene
contents, strong sensory profiles and premium quality buds.
Genetics Portfolio
Flowr has successfully completed trialing 44 new
genetics and will shortly begin commercial growing of up to 10 new
and exotic genetics selected for their unique terpene,
morphological and THC profile. This new genetic pipeline is
expected to launch in the second half of 2022 and the first half of
2023.
Canadian Retail Sales
Flowr continues to grow its Canadian retail
sales in all provinces with products available in over 1,500 retail
outlets across the country. This includes the listing of 11 SKU’s
in Ontario with more to launch in the coming months.
The Company is pleased to announce the continued
success of BC Dog Walkers, currently selling in Ontario and British
Columbia and launching in Alberta in March 2022. BC Dog Walkers
provide consumers with Flowr’s flagship strains, BC Pink Kush, BC
Black Cherry and BC Strawnana, in a 0.35 gram pre-roll format that
prioritizes convenience and accessibility. The pre-roll market in
Canada has seen a significant increase since October 2018 and Flowr
believes that providing its flagship strains in this format will
further enhance its position as a premium cannabis producer.
