On September 23, 2015, the Board of Directors of Creative Edge
Nutrition, Inc. ("FITX") approved the spinoff of its wholly-owned
subsidiary, CEN Biotech, Inc. ("CEN"), to the shareholders of FITX.
CEN is involved in the prospective medical marijuana business and
is attempting to obtain the necessary license and approval under
the Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations in Canada. CEN has
completed the construction of its production facility, and is
prepared to immediately begin production of medical marijuana once
all licenses and approvals are obtained.
Shareholders of FITX, as of the close of business on November
30, 2015 will receive 1 share of CEN Biotech, Inc. common stock for
every 700 common shares of FITX owned on the record date of
November 30, 2015. The total shares of CEN will be 7,000,000 which
is comprised of 6,900,000 common shares and 100,000 preferred
shares. CEN is currently planning to have its shares traded on the
OTC Markets QB. FITX will continue to trade on the OTC Markets
Pink.
CEN engaged Thayer O' Neal, CPAs to perform the company audit.
This audit is now complete and the audited financial statements are
included in a Form 10 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on September 23, 2015. Thayer O' Neal is a full service
public accounting firm which provides professional accounting,
auditing and tax services to a number of publicly and privately
held companies.
The Company will issue a comprehensive press release shortly
outlining the status of its pending litigation and other efforts
seeking to overturn Health Canada's arbitrary denial of its license
to produce medicinal marijuana. The Company is also continuing its
endeavors to procure a detailed and meaningful zoning designation
of its Lakeshore, Canada properties, consistent with the town
council's initial holding that CEN Biotech's properties had "the
correct zoning". The fact of proper zoning is memorialized in the
minutes of Lakeshore's town Council meeting of November 7, 2013.
The Company remains strongly committed to its pursuit of justice in
procuring its license to produce. The spinoff is a testament of CEN
Biotech's confidence in its ability to execute to its original
strategy and obtain all licensing and approvals necessary. Despite
the continued and unjustified bashing from press and stock short
sellers, CEN Biotech remains fully committed to its shareholders
and its business plan.
Bill Chaaban, President and CEO of CEN stated, "I am very
pleased and excited to have our audit complete. We have met a
milestone in our companies' history by spinning off the medical
marijuana and hemp venture into its own publicly-traded company as
we stated in the past. This spinoff will allow us to focus on
executing to our business plan while FITX will focus on the sport
nutrition and beverage markets. I am confident of James Robinson's
ability to run FITX and very happy with his progress to date in his
launch of Giddy Up beverages. James has supported CEN throughout
his tenure as President and CEO of FITX. We look forward to future
successes of both companies."
In respect to his executive employment contract, Bill Chaaban
has waived two years of salary and cancelled the addendum to his
employment contract which would have allowed debt conversion to
FITX or CEN Biotech shares.
James Robinson, CEO Creative Edge Nutrition added, "It has been
a long and thorough process to compete the spin-off of CEN Biotech
into a separate company and reward shareholders of Creative with
CEN shares. Now FITX can focus on the energy drink market and
strategically launch with regional and national suppliers. I am
confident that Bill will continue to lead CEN Biotech with the
utmost transparency and integrity as he has in the past. This is a
win for our shareholders."
