LAS VEGAS, Sept. 17, 2018 /CNW/ – Australis Capital Inc. (“Australis” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the Company has entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) to purchase a 15% equity interest (the “Share Purchase”) in the capital of Wagner Dimas Inc. (“Wagner Dimas”) from Cannroy Delware Inc. (“Cannroy Delaware”), the current registered and beneficial owner of such interest, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cannaroyalty Corp.

Wagner Dimas is a Nevada corporation which develops technology for large scale manufacturing in a variety of applications including production scale rolling machines to mass manufacture hemp and cannabis pre-rolls and cones.

“Wagner Dimas proprietary processes and patented technologies are scaling to a new facility on pace to produce 50 million pre-rolls annually in the California market alone,” stated Scott Dowty, CEO of Australis Capital Inc. “Our investment in Wagner Dimas with their expertise in traditional cannabis delivery systems, expanding business to business vertical, geographic expansion and significant branding opportunities serve as key growth vectors to our diverse investment strategy in the United States.”

Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, the Company intends to acquire approximately 15% equity interest in Wagner Dimas from Cannroy Delaware. As consideration for the Share Purchase, the Company would pay CAD $3,000,000 payable in either common shares of Australis or cash, at the election of the Company.

The LOI is non-binding and the completion of the Share Purchase is subject to customary closing conditions.
