Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – December 15, 2020) – Pharmadrug Inc. (CSE: BUZZ) (OTC Pink: LMLLF) (“PharmaDrug” or the “Company“) is pleased to provide an update to the status of its balance sheet following the recent general equity market upswing and the increase in PharmaDrug’s volume and share price appreciation.
Recent market activity has served to significantly strengthen PharmaDrug’s balance sheet and improve its ability to execute on its current business plan. The market has contributed to increased balance sheet strength is four distinct ways. Firstly, PharmaDrug was able to raise in excess of $850,000 by selling marketable securities that the Company valued on its Q3 financials at $200,000, due to a subsequent increase in the value of the shares. Secondly, the Company holds 4.24 million shares of Red Light Holland Corp. (CSE: TRIP) (FSE: 4YX) (OTC:TRUFF), of which it has not yet sold any shares. The Company also holds 4.24 million warrants of Red Light Holland exercisable at a price of $0.26 per share. Thirdly, the Company is now receiving conversion notices of its outstanding debentures which have a conversion feature at $0.05 per share. As a result, the Company has already seen a material decrease in its outstanding debt since Q3 financials. We will update the market on the debenture principal outstanding prior to year-end. Lastly, the company has a sizeable amount of $0.05 warrants in the market and management has already received a number of exercise notices. In summary, management expects to see a large increase in its cash balance by year-end with a greatly reduced outstanding debt balance.
Management plans to use increased cash position to execute on a more aggressive growth plan in Germany and the Netherlands. The Company is in the final stages of adding additional Medical Cannabis lines and has already started negotiations to add to its product offering to pharmacies narcotics lines outside of the Cannabis space. Management will look to add more salespeople in country and to accelerate activities to add more product lines to build out a larger and more diversified pharmaceutical distribution company, which we expect to include pharmaceutical psychedelic products as they become legally available in Germany.
In the Netherlands, the Company is continuing to advance on building out and launching its online psychedelics retail platform. We have also shortlisted locations for a flagship store in Amsterdam. Management will use increased liquidity to accelerate growth plans in 5 follow on cities in the country and has will contemplate strategic moves to vertically integrate and broaden out its psychedelics business model in The Netherlands before expanding into other countries.
