NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
LOS ANGELES, May 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BLVD Centers Corporation (the “Company”) announced today that it has submitted an application to the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) to list its common shares on the CSE. Once approved, the Company plans to apply for a voluntary delisting of its common shares from the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”), subject to necessary regulatory approvals.
The Company's move from the TSXV to the CSE follows several announcements since the start of 2018 highlighting plans to expand its product and services offering into the US cannabis market, possibly through direct sales of marijuana. The move to the CSE will give the Company a clear path to expand into the US cannabis market and/or acquire companies associated with selling, growing or processing cannabis outside Canada in compliance with the stock exchange its shares trade.
“Our move to the CSE is a strong first step toward potentially expanding into the US cannabis market” said Chris Heath, CEO of the Company. “While there is still much to be done, our current business is well positioned to act as a platform for that expansion. It has become clear to me that our current business, as it stands today, does not have the growth potential I once thought it did. I believe that expanding into the cannabis market through the prism of addiction services gives us an advantage over others in the market. It provides a potential opportunity for significant revenue growth and cash flow and, most importantly, it gives our shareholders the potential opportunity to benefit from the excitement surrounding the cannabis industry. In the last five quarters, I have worked to stabilize and grow our rehab centers. While I have had success in cutting costs and we have seen some quarters with slight increases in revenues, the overall business needs a new catalyst. I will continue to work to ensure our business platform can be used as a foundation for our expansion into the cannabis space.” Continued Mr. Heath, “I am greatly looking forward to sharing our progress and further updates with the markets soon as we get the business and the team ready for this exciting potential expansion to our current addiction treatment business”.
