Mojave Jane Brands and Bravo Distribution Reach Agreement on Reversal of Acquisition


/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION OR DISSEMINATION DIRECTLY, OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES./

CSE: JANE
OTC: HHPHF
FSE: 0HCN

Reversal reflects strategic shift from low-margin distribution to higher-margin direct to consumer model and results in reduced OpEx and return to Mojave of 4.5 million shares

TORONTO, Dec. 30, 2019 /CNW/ - Mojave Jane (CSE: JANE) (OTC: HHPHF) (FSE: OHCN), a California cannabis company, today announced that it has reached an agreement with the principals of Bravo Distribution ("Bravo") on the reversal of the original transaction whereby Mojave had acquired the assets of Bravo.

Bravo had originally been acquired to provide distribution capabilities to dispensaries in California. Following the reversal, and in light of the changing dynamics of the Californian cannabis market, the Company will continue to focus on executing  its strategy that combines manufacturing and premium brands with a direct to consumer distribution ("D2C") model through its investment in SpeedWeed, as announced on October 25, 2019.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Bravo principals will return the 4.5 million shares issued in consideration of the original transaction, first announced in August 2018. Furthermore, the Bravo principals will take on all financial commitments and liabilities related to the Bravo operation. Consequently, the Company anticipates ongoing cash savings in excess of $500,000 per annum, as well as a one-time saving of $100,000 related to these liabilities. The Company has recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $500,000, representing the remaining goodwill on its balance sheet related to Bravo.

Mojave Jane's CEO Gary Latham comments:

"The reversal reduces our OpEx spend and shares outstanding, and enables us to focus fully on our manufacturing, brands and direct to consumer (D2C) business model, a positive outcome for us and our shareholders. We anticipate our D2C model will deliver significantly higher margins compared to the Bravo model, and helps us establish even stronger ties with brands, dispensaries and consumers. With our recently increased investment in SpeedWeed, we are well positioned to execute on this model, and we look forward to updating shareholders regularly on our progress."
