(&#8220;Akanda&#8221; or the \u201cCompany\u201d) (NASDAQ: AKAN), an international medical cannabis platform company, today announced that the High Court of Lesotho (the \u201cLesotho Court\u201d) has placed in liquidation the Company\u2019s indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, Bophelo Bio Science &amp; Wellness (Pty) Ltd.<br \/>\n(\u201cBophelo\u201d).The action to place Bophelo in liquidation was taken by the Lesotho Court pursuant to an unauthorized application and request (the \u201cLiquidation Application\u201d) that was filed by Louisa Mojela, the former Executive Chairman of Akanda, who was recently terminated as Executive Chairman of Akanda, and the Mophuti Matsoso Development Trust (\u201cMMD Trust\u201d), which the Company believes was established by Ms.<\/p>\n<p>Mojela. Tej Virk, the Chief Executive Officer of Akanda, stated, \u201cThe application that was filed by Ms. Mojela to place Bophelo, our wholly-owned subsidiary, in liquidation was taken without Akanda\u2019s prior authorization, knowledge or consent.<\/p>\n<p>We therefore have reason to believe that Ms. Mojela\u2019s actions reflect her efforts to retaliate against the Company in response to her dismissal and removal from the Board of Directors of Akanda on June 23, 2022, on the basis of a lack of focus on profitability under her leadership. It is appalling that Ms.<\/p>\n<p>Mojela would take the extraordinary and significant action of seeking to cause Bophelo to be declared insolvent without consulting with, or obtaining the consent of, the Board of Directors or the senior management team of Akanda, which is the beneficial owner of 100% of Bophelo\u2019s equity interests, or even of the full Board of Directors of Bophelo itself.<br \/>\n\u201d Akanda intends to convene a special committee to investigate Ms.<br \/>\nMojela\u2019s actions and conduct, including actions and conduct taken by her prior to her filing of the Liquidation Application, and will pursue all of its available legal rights and remedies against Ms.<\/p>\n<p>Mojela and the MMD Trust for taking this unauthorized action. The Company also intends to contest and seek to reverse the determination by the Lesotho Court to place Bophelo in liquidation.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Akanda will seek to recover significant loans that it has made to Bophelo to fund the execution of Bophelo\u2019s business plan, including payment of rents and staffing costs, in the event that the Lesotho Court does not reverse its determination to place Bophelo in liquidation.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Ms. Mojela has been summarily terminated as Chairman of Bophelo for Cause, as a \u201cbad leaver\u201d, as a result of her improper and unauthorized action to seek to place Bophelo in liquidation.<\/p>\n<p>In an action taken without the Company\u2019s knowledge, the Lesotho Court has ordered an insolvent liquidation of Bophelo, and has appointed Mr. Chavonnes Cooper of Cape Town, South Africa, as liquidator of Bophelo for purposes of maintaining the value of the assets owned or managed by Bophelo.<\/p>\n<p>The order was signed by the Honorable Mr. Justice Mokhesi on July 15, 2022. Located near T\u2019sakholo in the Mafeteng District of the Kingdom of Lesotho, Bophelo is one of the largest licensed landholders engaging in cannabis cultivation in the country.<\/p>\n<p>It leases the premises on which it operates from the MMD Trust, pursuant to a long-term agreement. Bophelo\u2019s operations consist primarily of a Good Agricultural and Collection Practices (GACP) qualified hoop house and shade cloth outdoor grow site, which completed its first harvest in May 2022.<\/p>\n<p>It is generating attributed run-rate operating losses of approximately $2 million annually and was previously budgeted to receive nearly $2.5 million of capital investment in 2022 to construct a 2.5-acre Cravo green house for the 2023 growing season.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Virk further stated, \u201cAkanda believes that in this situation, Ms. Mojela, our former Executive Chairman, failed to consider or act in the best interests of either Akanda or our shareholders.<\/p>\n<p>We intend to reclaim what rightfully belongs to Akanda shareholders, which includes the Akanda Bokamoso Empowerment Trust, which was established to support our hard working and loyal staff at the Bophelo campus in Lesotho.<\/p>\n<p>While doing so, we remain committed to our mission of helping people lead better lives through improved access to high quality medical cannabis products.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d Continued Mr. Virk, \u201cHaving a presence in Africa was always about building for the long-term and making a social impact on our communities.<\/p>\n<p>In May 2022, Akanda acquired Portugal-based Holigen, an EU GMP certified medical cannabis producer, which has the means to potentially contribute profits to Akanda over the next six to nine months.<\/p>\n<p>With Holigen, Akanda believes it has more than sufficient capacity to produce premium quality indoor, outdoor and greenhouse medical cannabis within the European Union as the market matures.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, with shifting market dynamics, we have found higher demand from German and UK customers for product produced in Portugal than Lesotho due to evolving EU regulations.<\/p>\n<p>In the event we are unable to reverse the determination of the Lesotho Court, Akanda may actually experience considerable savings and greater profitability as a result of reduced expenditures and the elimination of losses associated with Bophelo\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d Concluding, Mr. Virk stated, \u201cFinancially, the reality is that, an Akanda, without Bophelo, is on an accelerated path to profitability and positive free cash flow.<\/p>\n<p>As a team, we are focused on our core markets in the UK and Europe, and are already executing on a number of commercial sales agreements, all of which will leverage our Portuguese operations.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these realities, Akanda remains committed to Bophelo, its employees and the longer-term ramp-up of cannabis markets in Africa. \u201d About Akanda Corp.<\/p>\n<p>Akanda (NASDAQ: AKAN) is an international medical cannabis and wellness platform company seeking to help people lead better lives through improved access to high quality and affordable products.<\/p>\n<p>Akanda\u2019s portfolio includes Bophelo Bioscience &amp; Wellness, a GACP qualified cultivation campus in the Kingdom of Lesotho in Southern Africa; Holigen, a Portugal-based cultivator, manufacturer and distributor with a prized EU GMP certified indoor grow facility; and CanMart, a UK-based fully licensed pharmaceutical importer and distributor which supplies pharmacies and clinics within the UK.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s seed-to-patient supply chain also includes partnerships with Cellen Life Sciences\u2019 Leva Clinic, one of the first fully digital pain clinics in the UK, and Cantourage, which operates a platform for bringing medical cannabis to Europe.
