LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Flower One Holdings Inc. (“Flower One” or the “Canadian Company”) (CSE: FONE) (FSE: F11), the Canadian parent company of the leading cannabis cultivator and producer in Nevada, today authorized the Canadian Company and its Canadian subsidiaries to seek protection from the Supreme Court of British Columbia pursuant to the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (the “CCAA”). The Canadian Company is seeking to appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. as the court appointed Monitor of the Canadian Company and its Canadian subsidiaries.
The decision to commence CCAA proceedings was made after careful consideration of the Canadian Company’s financial position and significant consultation with certain key creditors of Flower One. The CCAA proceedings are intended to facilitate a restructuring or sale of the Canadian Company and the injection of additional capital, with a view of Flower One going private by the end of the 2022 calendar year, thereby eliminating the administrative burden and significant expense associated with being a publicly listed company.
During the CCAA process, the US operations of Flower One are expected to continue in the ordinary course and without interruption.
