Alta Vista and RedeCan Agree to Remove Royalty

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 29, 2016 / Alta Vista Ventures Ltd. (“Alta Vista” or the “Company”) (CSE: AVV, OTC: YRLLF) and RedeCan Pharm have agreed to remove the royalty that had been previously considered under the original Letter of Intent (‘LOI’) (see news release dated November 27, 2015). There is now no overriding royalty to be paid.

The amended terms of the acquisition consider the purchase of a 90% interest in RedeCan by paying to the owner of RedeCan $8,000,000 (Eight Million) and issuing a total of 9,000,000 (Nine Million) shares. The underlying owner will retain a non-participating 10% ownership in the business.

“The previously considered royalty proved unpopular with our shareholders and interested parties. We worked diligently to remove it and believe that this is a much better structure that will benefit both groups,” stated Ian Foreman, president of Alta Vista.

In addition, the parties have agreed to close the transaction on, or before, March 1, 2016.

About Alta Vista Ventures:

The purchase of Redecan Pharm is a critical step in Alta Vista’s goal of becoming a significant player in Canada’s medical marijuana marketplace. Under the terms of the LOI, subject to satisfactory due diligence and the signing of a definitive agreement, Alta Vista Ventures can purchase a 90% interest in RedeCan Pharm by paying $8,000,000 in cash and issuing a total of 9,000,000 shares over a one year term.

In addition to the right to purchase RedeCan, Alta Vista has the right to purchase Thor Pharma, an early stage MMPR applicant that could add up to 75,000 square feet of growing space. Alta Vista cannot guarantee nor estimate the timing for the issuance of an MMPR license to Thor Pharma.
