DOJA Cannabis Company Announces Closing of Transaction and Initial Trading Date

KELOWNA, BC, Aug. 3, 2017 /CNW/ – DOJA Cannabis Company Limited (formerly SG Spirit Gold Inc.) (“DOJA” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced three-cornered amalgamation (the “Transaction”), pursuant to which it acquired all of the outstanding securities of Northern Lights Marijuana Company Ltd. (“Northern Lights”), a licensed Canadian cannabis producer. DOJA expects to commence trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol “DOJA” at market open on Wednesday, August 9, 2017.

DOJA™ is a premier cannabis lifestyle brand that will feature the highest quality handcrafted strains in Canada. DOJA’s state-of-the-art ACMPR licensed production facility is located in the heart of British Columbia’s picturesque Okanagan Valley. DOJA was founded by the proven entrepreneurial team that started SAXX Underwear®.

Going public on the CSE is a great achievement for DOJA. With this larger stage, we now have the ability to reach a global investor base and we look forward to welcoming many new investors that share our vision for the future of cannabis to the DOJA team.

Trent Kitsch, CEO of DOJA

As an authentic premium cannabis lifestyle brand, we have established deep roots locally and we are now extending out strong branches that will take the brand beyond the Canadian border. We are cannabis futurists – that believe cannabis is not what defines people, it is just a part of their lifestyle.

Closing of the Transaction

In connection with the Closing, DOJA’s wholly-owned subsidiary amalgamated with Northern Lights under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), with the amalgamated company being named “DOJA Cannabis Ltd.” and now being a wholly-owned subsidiary of DOJA. DOJA issued 1.8 common shares in the capital of the Company (each, a “DOJA Share”) for each Northern Lights share outstanding. Convertible securities of Northern Lights were exchanged, subject to adjustment, into similar convertible securities of DOJA.
