TORONTO, Nov. 5, 2019 /CNW/ - PharmaCielo Ltd. ("PharmaCielo" or the "Company") (TSXV:PCLO, OTC:PHCEF) announces that earlier today it was advised by Creso Pharma Limited ("Creso Pharma") that due to BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd. changing its independent expert report to conclude that the PharmaCielo Share Scheme is neither fair nor reasonable and is not in the best interests of shareholders of Creso Pharma, it is impossible for the Board of Directors of Creso Pharma to support the Share and Option Schemes (the "Schemes") in their current form. As a result of the Creso Pharma Board of Directors changing its recommendation in respect of the Schemes, PharmaCielo has terminated the Scheme Implementation Agreement (the "Scheme Implementation Agreement"), originally announced on June 6, 2019, in accordance with its terms. No break or expense reimbursement fees are payable by either PharmaCielo or Creso Pharma in connection with the termination of the Scheme Implementation Agreement. The AUD$3.8 million (approximately CAD$3.57 million) secured bridge loan (the "Bridge Loan") previously advanced by PharmaCielo to Creso Pharma on June 6, 2019, will now mature on November 30, 2019. The Bridge Loan, which bears interest at a rate of 15% per annum, is secured by a general security agreement over the assets of Creso Pharma and a pledge of the shares of Mernova Medicinal Inc., a subsidiary of Creso Pharma, in favour of PharmaCielo.
"While we are disappointed by this outcome, we have appreciated the interactions between our teams over the past several months and wish them much success in their future endeavours," said David Attard, Chief Executive Officer of PharmaCielo. "Our team has made significant strides over the past several months on an organic basis, expanding cultivation and production with a best in class cost structure, as well as growing international sales. As we near completion of Phase I of our processing centre, which will be capable of producing over 24 metric tonnes of refined cannabis oil capacity per year, we are ramping up sales efforts. We are well-positioned to grow our business and the progress made over the past several months has set the Company up for a strong close to 2019 and solid growth in 2020."

TORONTO and RIONEGRO, Colombia, Aug. 1, 2019 /CNW/ - PharmaCielo Ltd. ("PharmaCielo" or the "Company") (TSXV:PCLO, OTC:PHCEF), the Canadian parent of Colombia's premier cultivator and producer of medicinal-grade cannabis oil, PharmaCielo Colombia Holdings S.A.S., is ramping up its oil processing capabilities in the Company's Rionegro, Colombia facility following the recent acquisition and installation of additional high-performance, high-volume extractors, combined with proprietary extraction techniques.
After receiving approval for commercial export of non-psychoactive (CBD) isolate PharmaCielo has expanded its extraction processing capacity to 265 tonnes of dried flower to meet anticipated global demand for its high-grade medicinal cannabis oils, feeding international supply channels and product production lines following the recent achievement of Colombian government approval for commercial export of non-psychoactive (CBD) isolate combined with announcement of the Company's intent to acquire Creso Pharma Limited (ASX:CPH) ("Creso Pharma").
"As global demand for medicinal cannabis oils and extracts continues to outpace supply, we are taking the right steps with prudent investment in processing infrastructure to ensure that we capitalize on business opportunities to become the leading supplier globally," said David Attard, CEO at PharmaCielo. "With the recently announced agreement to acquire Creso Pharma, we have the opportunity to expand our global footprint and add an extensive portfolio of animal and human CBD products, which when combined with commercial export approval and inbound order demand puts us at the stage where we need to ramp up production."
Along with the expansion of its extraction capabilities, PharmaCielo also announced it has surpassed the 18-tonne mark of dried flower currently under inventory and immediately ready for processing. The Company also continues to expand the land area under active cultivation, currently at 12.1 hectares (capable in annual cultivation in excess of 0.48 million kg) from 5.3 hectares at the beginning of the year, with additional cultivation expansion expected to continue throughout the balance of the year.
"Since receiving Colombia's first-issued manufacturing and cultivation licenses, we have utilized the opportunity to conduct trials with the full range of processing equipment and to determine which methodology best meets individual strain and finished-product requirements, as well as to develop proprietary methodologies," added Attard. "Deep experience with all the processing technologies leaves us well positioned to immediately capitalize on installation of the new equipment and not lose valuable production time learning relative ins-and-outs."
The additional processing equipment now in place complements technologies previously manufactured and installed by Canadian firm Vitalis, the global leader in industrial-scale supercritical CO2 extraction, and will immediately increase annual dried flower processing capacity in support of previously announced strategies for the expansion of hectares under cultivation, with a corresponding increase in finished oil production. Laboratory analysis conducted has demonstrated purity of CBD isolate extraction certified as greater than 99+%, and readily accommodating multiple international requirements for commercial import.
