VANCOUVER, BC, June 22, 2020 /CNW/ - Invictus MD Strategies
Corp. (NEX: GENE.H) (the "Company")
announced today that it has entered into an investment agreement
for the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Acreage Pharms Ltd.
("Acreage"). The purchaser is Acreage Developments
Corp. (the "Investor"), a privately-owned company that is
unrelated to the Company and its directors and officers.
Completion of the sale is subject to condition precedents
including Court approval of the transaction and a plan of
compromise and arrangement (the "Plan") being approved by
the creditors of Acreage and the Court in the CCAA proceedings
currently underway involving the Company and its
subsidiaries. As part of the transaction and Plan, all
existing shares of Acreage will be cancelled and new shares issued
to the Investor. As a consequence, the Investor will be the sole
shareholder of Acreage, and it is not anticipated that the sale
will result in any recovery for creditors or the common
shareholders of the Company. Recoveries will be limited to the
creditors of Acreage.
The Company anticipates that it will shortly file a motion for a
court order to present the Plan to the creditors of Acreage and
subject to receiving certain approvals, plans to seek a sanction
order from the Court approving the implementation of Plan.
Details of the sales process that was undertaken will be available
then.
The Company continues to seek buyers for its remaining assets
and is in discussions with parties regarding a potential
transaction. There can be no assurance that the transaction
with the Investor will be completed, that the creditors or the
Court will approval the Plan or that any transaction involving the
remaining assets of the Company will eventuate.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services

Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or
accuracy of this release.
