Jushi Holdings Inc. (“Jushi” or the
“Company”) (CSE: JUSH)
(OTCMKTS: JUSHF), a
vertically integrated, multi-state cannabis operator, announced it
completed the acquisition of the remaining 21% of the issued and
outstanding equity of Dalitso LLC (“
Dalitso”), a
Virginia-based pharmaceutical processor permit holder. The Company
now owns 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of Dalitso.
Dalitso is one of only five applicants to have
received conditional approval for a pharmaceutical processor permit
issued by the Virginia Board of Pharmacy, and one of only four to
have received final approval and permit issuance in the
Commonwealth. Dalitso’s permit allows Dalitso to cultivate,
process, dispense, and deliver medical cannabis to registered
patients in Virginia. The designated area for Dalitso to operate is
Health Service Area II, in Northern Virginia, which includes two of
Virginia's most densely populated counties, Fairfax and Prince
William, and has a population of approximately 2.5 million people
or nearly 30% of the state's total population according to the U.S.
Census Bureau.
Dalitso has completed the initial build-out of
its cultivation, manufacturing, and processing footprint, while
also prefabricating the remaining 90,000 square foot facility in
Prince William County, Virginia to allow for efficient scaling as
patient demand increases. On Tuesday, December 1, 2020
BEYOND / HELLO Manassas, located at 8100
Albertstone Circle, Manassas, officially began serving
patients in-store with consultations bookable online through
beyond-hello.com.
Jim Cacioppo, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman,
and Founder of Jushi said: “I am thrilled to announce that Jushi
completed the acquisition of the remaining equity interests of
Dalitso. Since the recent opening of BEYOND / HELLO
Manassas, we have received positive feedback for providing
a patient-focused retail experience delivered by our expertly
trained pharmaceutical staff. We look forward to continuing to
build out Dalitso’s vertically integrated cultivation,
manufacturing, processing, and retail footprint to better serve
medical patients in Virginia.”
Over the prior two months, in three
independently negotiated transactions with distinct minority owners
of Dalitso, Jushi consolidated its ownership position from 61.765%
to 100% by issuing a total of only 4.2 million shares or share
equivalent, of which approximately half is subject to
indemnification provisions and trading restrictions for a year.
