4 Marijuana Stocks To Watch On Tuesday (2/12/19)

CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / February 12, 2019 / The 2019 year has already managed to be a catalyst for growth for the marijuana stock market. As we've seen in the media over the past few months, there has been a massive push for more legislation in favor of legalizing marijuana, namely because public approval has been at an all-time high. More consumers are recognizing that cannabis is not only completely safe, but it can also be used to treat a myriad of health-related issues. Back in 1937, Congress first passed the Marijuana Tax Act, which saw the nation band together to condemn the substance. Many years later, several nations including Canada have enacted laws enabling citizens to use cannabis in both recreational, as well as medical contexts. For the future of the industry to be secured, lawmakers need to press onward with passing legislation in favor of cannabis, because this will allow companies in the sector to continue operating and developing novel products meant to improve the lives of consumers. Nabis Holdings (INNPF) (NAB), Aphria Inc (APHA), Canopy Growth Corp (CGC), and OrganiGram Holdings Inc (OGRMF) (OGI.V) are four cannabis companies worth looking into.

Nabis Holdings (INNPF) (NAB) is a Canadian investment company focused on investing in high-quality cash flowing and strategic assets across multiple aspects of the cannabis sector primarily in the U.S. limited license states with a roadmap to expand globally. The Company presently works throughout the U.S. by identifying companies with high growth potential, where they can then gain a majority stake. Nabis' corporate framework was devised to give the Company the opportunity to identify, and subsequently acquire majority-stake interests in companies across the broad spectrum of vertically integrated businesses, with a focus on strategic revenue generation, EBITDA and growth.

Nabis Holdings (INNPF) (NAB) announced last week that the Company has entered into a binding term sheet with Momentum Ideas Co to acquire certain assets used and marketed under the brandBloombox, including the Bloombox Software and data platform. Nabis' acquisition ofBloombox will create a dominating presence in the growing U.S. cannabis market, featuring an integrated ecosystem of modern, next-generation technology.

Per the details of the agreement, the Bloombox team will work closely with Nabis Holdings (INNPF) (NAB), including Sam Gammon, the Company's inbound Chief Technology Officer following the closing of the Investment.

Shay Shnet, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Nabis Holdings (INNPF) (NAB), said, " Bloombox is a strategic investment for Nabis as it creates a very well established retail and supply chain ecosystem to be used and distributed across the Nabis' network of dispensaries across the United States," said Shay Shnet, CEO & Director of Nabis.

Aphria Inc (APHA) enjoyed impressive gains in mid-afternoon trading on Monday, with its shares up 7.40%, trading at $9.00 per share. Towards the end of last week, the Company announced that, after much deliberation, its Board of Directors had decided to reject a hostile bid offer by Green Growth Brands Inc that would see the Company acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Aphria including any common shares that may become issued at a later date.

Irwin Simon, Aphria's independent Board Chair, commented, "regardless of their brazen attempts to suggest otherwise, GGB is asking Aphria shareholders to accept a substantial discount on their shares, as well as delisting from both the TSX and NYSE, resulting in a vast dilution of their ownership in Aphria. In return GGB offers shares in an illiquid company with limited operating history, minimal assets and no track record in the cannabis industry."
