DENVER, Colo., April 18, 2023 /CNW/ – Medicine Man Technologies operating as Schwazze, (OTCQX: SHWZ) (NEO: SHWZ) (“Schwazze” or the “Company”), announced that it has signed definitive documents to acquire certain assets of Standing Akimbo LLC (“Standing Akimbo“). The proposed transaction includes the medical cannabis dispensary located at 3801 Jason Street in Denver, Colorado. This acquisition expands the Company’s retail consumer base and furthers its growth efforts in the Colorado market, which upon close would bring the Company’s total number of operating Colorado dispensaries to 26 (this total excludes two additional Smokey’s dispensaries previously announced for acquisition in the second quarter of 2023 as well as a Colorado Springs medical dispensary acquired in 2022).

   

The consideration for the proposed acquisition is US$10,540,000 and will be paid as US$1,000,000 in cash and US$5,540,000 in Company common stock at closing, and US$4,000,000 in deferred cash payments. The acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter of 2023 upon receipt of approval from the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division and local licensing authorities.

Following more than a year of medical cannabis market operating experience in New Mexico, this acquisition marks Schwazze’s concerted effort to expand operations in Colorado’s $200M+ medical cannabis market. As part of the Standing Akimbo acquisition, Schwazze plans to open a Colorado Springs medical dispensary acquired in 2022 under the Standing Akimbo banner.       

“We have tremendous respect for the Standing Akimbo brand and operators. We look forward to the team joining the Schwazze family, continue running their Denver location and also expand service by adding a second location in Colorado Springs,” said Nirup Krishnamurthy, President of Schwazze. “We look forward to utilizing Schwazze’s operating playbook to support the Standing Akimbo team in their outstanding service to the Colorado medical cannabis community.”      

Since April 2020, Schwazze has acquired, opened or announced the planned acquisition of 46 cannabis retail dispensaries (bannered as Star Buds, Emerald Fields and R. Greenleaf) as well as seven cultivation facilities and two manufacturing plants in Colorado and New Mexico. In May 2021, Schwazze announced its Biosciences division, and in August 2021 it commenced home delivery services in Colorado.
