Canopy Rivers (TSX.V: RIV) (OTC: CNPOF) this morning announced its completion of an equity investment in 10663522 Canada Inc. (“Herbert”), a unique brand platform focused on the adult-use cannabis beverage and edibles market. Canopy Rivers subscribed in Herbert for CAD $1,500,000 of preferred shares and received incremental warrants that entitle RIV to certain governance-related rights and the ability to increase its economic interest in Herbert under certain circumstances. “Herbert represents an opportunity for Canopy Rivers to be invested at a very early stage in a company focused on the adult-use cannabis beverage and edible product segment,” Canopy Rivers President Narbe Alexandrian stated in the news release. “In the US, cannabis-infused beverages have emerged as a high-growth segment within the ingestibles category, and include a variety of products in both THC- and CBD-dominant formats. In Canada, we expect similar growth beyond dried flower and oils, into food and beverage. Canopy Rivers believes that Herbert, equipped with existing R&D, marketing and manufacturing expertise, has the ability to enter this market quickly and achieve success in creating widely appealing THC-infused beverages and edibles under this new standalone brand.”
