(“Bellerosa”) to exclusively market the full range of GlobalEx tablets for use in Canadian and US horticultural and agricultural industries. Matica will test, and if successful, distribute and market Chlorine Dioxide tablets in the medical marijuana industry for the elimination of mold, biofilm, and pests in controlled growing facilities, eliminating the need for harmful or Health Canada restricted pesticides.
Under the terms of the definitive agreement, Matica has an option to acquire a 60% interest in the joint venture to be formed by Matica and Bellerosa by expending $200,000 over a two year period on the testing and marketing of the tablets. Matica will also issue 10,000,000 Matica shares to Bellerosa. This transaction will be considered a change of business for Matica and will be deemed a Fundamental Change under the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”).
Matica Enterprises CEO, Boris Ziger states, “This is a very important step for Matica as it confirms our commitment to the medical marijuana industry. We are striving to make these chlorine dioxide tablets the go-to solution for growers, a true industry standard. As a natural cleaning and sanitizing agent chlorine dioxide has no equal. It can eliminate the need for pesticides and fungicides not only in the medical marijuana industry but across a wide range fields as well. We hope that this will be the beginning of some very exciting times for Matica.”
Matica has been granted a trading halt by the CSE pending the review of the disclosure related to the change of business to the medical marijuana industry. The Company understands the need for a halt at this stage of the implementation of its change of business and, in order to assist the CSE in their review, will file an updated Form 2A reflecting the new businesses.
