Bowden will provide an overview of the Company, including its award-winning products, the ongoing operations expansion and other key initiatives, as well as the growth opportunities resulting from the favorable regulatory environment. He will also speak in-depth on why franchising is the growth vehicle that is expected to propel the cannabis industry forward and how the upcoming merger with ONE Cannabis Group (OCG Inc.) and its dispensary franchise brand Unity Rd. complements the Company’s overall growth strategy.

“We are seeing positive changes in the cannabis industry,” Bowden said. “The U.S. market is very well positioned to benefit from what we believe is its next big growth driver – franchising.”

He continued, “Franchising significantly reduces barriers to entry for prospective entrepreneurs and for dispensary brands seeking a national footprint. Traditional multi-state operators need to fund all business development and expansion, while franchise brands can scale more rapidly at a lower cost because shops are locally owned and operated by their franchisees. It’s the most viable method for national expansion because of greatly reduced capital expenditures, resulting in accelerated scale.”

The Virtual Investor Summit is an exclusive, independent investor conference dedicated to connecting small-cap and microcap companies with qualified investors. The conference will feature approximately 100 companies and over 300 institutional, family office, high net worth investors and registered investment advisers. To register for the event, visit
