Based in British Colombia, Canada, VSSL is a cannabis genomics, plant sciences and consulting firm that builds predictive tools for the cannabis industry, and uses molecular and bioinformatics tools to deliver unique solutions suited to its customers’ business models.

 

The closing of the transaction will be subject to the satisfaction of various conditions that are customary for a transaction of this nature, including, without limitation, the execution of definitive documents, the completion of due diligence investigations of VSSL satisfactory to the Company, and the audit of VSSL’s financial statements that will be required to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission following the closing of the transaction.

 

In accordance with the terms of the Binding LOI, and concurrently with the execution thereof, the Company entered into (i) an Employment Agreement with Kyle Remenda, pursuant to which he will serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “Employment Agreement”), and (ii) a Consulting Agreement with Philippe Henry pursuant to which he will serve as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer (the “Consulting Agreement”).

The option vests as to one-quarter of the shares immediately, with the remaining shares vesting in equal amounts on each of the next three anniversaries of the grant date. The Consulting Agreement is for an initial term of one-year and will renew automatically for successive one-year periods unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least 30-days prior to the expiration of the then term.
