MissionIRNewsBreaks – Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSX.V: RIV) (OTC: CNPOF) Portfolio Company Acquires Ultra-Premium Cannabis Brand


Canopy Rivers (TSX.V: RIV) (OTC: CNPOF) on Thursday announced that its portfolio company TerrAscend Corp. (CSE: TER) (OTCQX: TRSSF) has entered definitive agreements to acquire ABI SF, LLC. ABI SF operates a Bay Area cannabis cultivation facility and owns the State Flower brand, which is recognized for its ultra-premium cannabis flower. California-based cannabis producer State Flower focuses on its craft approach to cultivation, using first-class genetics at an Envirocann certified facility in San Francisco. “This announcement is yet another example of TerrAscend delivering on its U.S. expansion plans, providing ever-growing U.S. exposure to Canopy Rivers’ and TerrAscend’s shareholder base,” Canopy Rivers president and CEO Narbe Alexandrian stated in the news release. “We think the acquisition of State Flower will allow TerrAscend to capture important mindshare in the U.S. through a strong, consumer facing brand. With a U.S. retail foothold already secured through The Apothecarium, we believe that State Flower is a natural strategic fit for TerrAscend.”
