Canada: Marijuana companies to merge

By  |  June 24, 2015

Tweed Marijuana is offering to buy Bedrocan Cannabis Corp. in a friendly deal that would combine the two companies into what they say would be Canada’s largest licensed pot producer.

Bedrocan’s shareholders will receive a total of 33.9 million common shares of Tweed, worth about $61 million as of the close of business on Tuesday.

They say the deal will combine Tweed’s consumer-oriented business and Bedrocan’s base in the clinical and research communities.

Together they will have the capacity to sell 6,000 kilograms of marijuana per year across a variety of product lines.
