Apollon Formularies Provides Update on Global Hemp Group
Apollon Formularies plc (AQSE: APOL, "Apollon" or the "Company"), a UK-based
international pharmaceutical company trading on the Aquis Stock Exchange, that
is licensed to research, develop, process, and sell medical cannabis
therapeutic products that include legal medical cannabis to treat various
illnesses under medical supervision, announced that it entered into a binding
Letter of Intent ("LOI") on January 12, 2023 with Global Hemp Group Inc.
("GHG") (CSE: GHG / OTC: GBHPF). The Company subsequently announced on 21 March
2021 that the due diligence period was extended to 28 April 2023.
The parties continue their due diligence, which the Company expects to be
completed by the end of May. When the due diligence is concluded, Apollon will
be advised on the final decision from GHG on moving forward with drafting the
definitive Asset Purchase Agreement. Once a decision is reached, an
announcement will be forthcoming to the market.
If the parties agree to move forward to the definitive agreement, they will
negotiate the final terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, and when signed, GHG
will acquire the Assets of Apollon, other than cash, cash equivalents, and
receivables, for a payment of 771,191,266 GHG common shares at a deemed price
of $0.015 per GHG common share, for a total consideration of C$11,567,869.
Other terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement are outlined in the shareholder
circular dated 15 March 2023.
To-date the exclusive licence agreement has been completed. Under the terms of
the agreement, the Company received US$250,000 in cash and 10,000,000 GHG
Shares. The hold lock-in period of four months and one day will end this month,
allowing the Company to sell its 10,000,000 GHG Shares at its discretion. In
return, GHG was granted an Exclusive Licence to certain of Apollon's
international patent applications and proprietary intellectual property with
supporting third-party pre-clinical test data in the following territories: The
United States, Canada, and Mexico, as well as Israel and the European Union
with extension to Morocco. During the Term of this licence agreement, GHG shall
pay a quarterly licensing fee to Apollon ("Licensing Fee"), the payment of
which shall be triggered when revenues are first generated from sublicensing
activities. Payment of the Licensing Fee shall commence in the subsequent
quarter. GHG shall provide a quarterly accounting of sublicensing fees it has
received not later than thirty days after the end of each quarter, and the
Licensing Fee is due and payable at that time. The Licensing Fee shall equal
10% of gross sublicensing fees received by GHG.
Terms used in this announcement are without material adjustment, pursuant to
the Company circular dated 15 March 2023.
The directors of the Company accept responsibility for the contents of this
announcement.
