Snipp Announces the Launch of a 100% U.S. Subsidiary to Facilitate the Sale of Its Solutions to U.S. Based Cannabis Companies...
May 09 2018 - 6:00AM
TORONTO, May 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Snipp
Interactive Inc. ("Snipp" or the “Company”) (OTCQB:SNIPF)
(TSX-V:SPN), a global provider of digital marketing promotions,
rebates and loyalty solutions, today announced that it has
incorporated a 100% owned subsidiary in the United States to
facilitate it to do business with Cannabis companies based in the
United States. The reason the Company chose to incorporate this
subsidiary is twofold. The first is to enable the Company to be
able to leverage its software platforms to service Cannabis
businesses with creative business models that could include equity
based and performance compensation partnerships and secondly to
isolate its core business given that at the U.S. Federal Level
Cannabis is still a Schedule 1 controlled substance.
“Since the launch of the Snipp Cannabis
Marketing Resource Center we have received a lot of interest and
had many discussions with multiple players in the U.S. and Canadian
markets. Some of these discussions have led to recommendations that
have included working in a more partnership type structure that
could involve an equity component as part of the payment mix for
the use of our platform and services by these potential clients. As
a Company we are open to working with companies in the Cannabis
space to design programs that enable our shareholders to enjoy the
upside of this nascent but fast growing industry and creating a
separate legal entity to enable that therefore makes a lot of
sense,” said Atul Sabharwal, Founder & CEO of Snipp.” The
Cannabis space is rapidly evolving and we have seen a few U.S.
based companies dual listing on the Canadian exchanges. A great
example is a company like iAnthus, A CMRC member, who pioneered
listing in both markets. They have set the stage for a whole new
crop of companies based in the U.S. to list in Canada many of whom
have joined our Cannabis Marketing Resource Center and are in deep
discussions with us on signing a Managed Service Agreement which
allows Snipp to become an approved vendor, locking in these clients
for the future as their marketing needs evolve. We look forward to
sharing some of progress we are making in converting our CMRC
members to paying clients over the next few quarters.”
