Management Discussion & Recent Developments
Please refer to Cannex’s “Management’s Discussion and Analysis: Three Months Ended October 31, 2018” for a comprehensive overview.

“Cannex is pleased with another quarter of good topline results driven by continuing strong performance of our Washington State operations,” said Anthony Dutton, CEO of Cannex. “Washington is a critical component to our long-term strategy and forms the underpinnings of our operational template that we will leverage as Cannex expands into additional jurisdictions as a part of our recently announced business combination with 4Front Holdings.”

In November Cannex signed a binding letter agreement with 4Front Holdings, LLC (“4Front”) pursuant to which 4Front has agreed to combine with Cannex in an all-stock transaction (the “Transaction”). The transaction is subject to final due diligence and the execution of a definitive acquisition agreement which will supersede the letter agreement, the receipt of applicable corporate approvals, and other regulatory and/or governmental approvals. There can be no assurance that the transaction will complete as proposed or at all.

The resulting company will encompass proven management and operational skills in large-scale indoor cultivation, the manufacturing and branding of infused products, edibles and other derivative products, and proven retail operations. The combined company will have strong business development complemented by regulatory and compliance experts and will own, operate or manage six existing cultivation and production facilities in Washington, Illinois and Massachusetts and five retail operations in Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, and Pennsylvania.
