Target Group Inc., signs agreement to acquire CannaKorp, Inc., creators of the groundbreaking pod-based WISP Vaporizer

TORONTO, Feb. 5, 2019 /CNW/ - Target Group Inc. (OTCQB: CBDY) ("Target Group" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce, that effective January 25, 2019, it has entered into an agreement to acquire Massachusetts-based CannaKorp Inc. ("CannaKorp"). CannaKorp is the holder of the patent-pending WISPtm vaporizing system.

The WISPtm is a pod-based, herbal vaporizing system that uses precisely measured, sealed and tested WISPtm Pods containing dried, ground botanicals. The WISPtm  vaporizer, used together with WISPtm  Pods, gives cannabis users the predictability and assurance to know what they're inhaling with every use, without the hassle of grinding, measuring, or packing. For the rapidly evolving market of cannabis consumers who prefer vaporization, Wisptm presents a proven method of delivery with unique bioavailability benefits and avoids the health concerns associated with the combustion of cannabis and other herbs.

Target Group is acquiring CannaKorp's operations in the United States and Canada. The acquisition will facilitate Target Group's expansion of cannabis operations, and position the Company's brand portfolio for global distribution. Target Group will continue executing its global expansion strategy, which is focused on acquiring and developing quality cannabis brands and solidifying long-term growth and stability in vital markets across the globe.

"The acquisition of CannaKorp will enable Target Group to enter all legal cannabis markets around the world, and to develop a centralized distribution channel for the WISPtm Vaporizer system, including centralized WISPtm Pod production. This acquisition also enables Target Group to provide the WISPtm and its WISPtm Pod technology to mainstream medical and recreational consumers, offering unprecedented variety through a break-through, consumer appliance experience that's clean, convenient, consistent and easy to use.", said Rubin Schindermann, Chief Executive Officer for Target Group.

Target Group Inc has identified a significant opportunity for growth within the wellness sector. Combining WISPtm natural herbal botanical pods with CBD (Cannabidiol), will allow WISPtm to develop a range of proprietary blends that will be available for sale within the broader American mass market immediately.
