Ottawa, Canada – February 28, 2019 – CannaRoyalty Corp. d/b/a Origin House (CSE: OH) (OTCQX: ORHOF) (“Origin House” or the “Company”), a leading North American cannabis products and brands company, today announced that it has completed the previously announced conversion of the Company’s 3.5% royalty interest on the sale of Alternative Medical Enterprises, LLC’s (“AltMed”) MÜV branded products (“MÜV”) into AltMed’s equity (the “Agreement”), increasing Origin House’s aggregate equity position in AltMed to 5.1%.
Commenting on the Agreement, Marc Lustig, Chairman and CEO of Origin House said, “Converting our royalty stream into a combination of cash and more exposure to a multi-state operator of AltMed’s calibre is another win for Origin House shareholders. With rapid expansion of their business in Florida and Arizona, we’re confident that having an increased ownership level in these two states through AltMed will increase the already sizeable return on investment.”

- Origin House previously owned a 4.8% equity interest in AltMed and a 3.5% gross product royalty on the sale of certain MÜV products.
- Upon conversion of the royalty interest, Origin House now owns an aggregate of 5.1% of AltMed. As consideration for the Company’s royalty interest, AltMed has issued a combination of cash and units of AltMed’s equity to Origin House.
- AltMed is a licensed cannabis business operating in Florida and Arizona. AltMed exclusively manufactures and distributes award-winning MÜV cannabis products through AltMed’s 100% owned subsidiary, NuTrae LLC, d/b/a MÜV, which owns MÜV.
- During 2019, AltMed plans to open 14 additional retail dispensaries in target Florida cities.
