Jushi Holdings Inc. announced it has closed its previously announced acquisition of OhiGrow, LLC and Ohio Green Grow LLC (collectively, "OhiGrow"), for total consideration of $5.0 million in cash, inclusive of an approximately 10,000 sq. ft. facility and 1.35 acres of land. OhiGrow will complement the 8,000 sq. ft. Ohio medical cannabis processing facility located in Columbus, OH that has recently commenced operations, to which Jushi provides operational and consulting services. OhiGrow is expected to supply biomass to the Processing Facility to create manufactured medical marijuana products, including Jushi's suite of permissible branded products, to be sold at licensed medical marijuana dispensaries throughout Ohio. OhiGrow's facility is located in Toledo, OH, approximately 100 miles or 2.5 hours from Columbus, OH. To date, approximately $4.5 million has been invested in the OhiGrow building, equipment, and land by the previous owners. There is an additional 15,000 sq. ft. of available vacant space on the property, which can be further developed. OhiGrow holds a Level II cultivation license from the state and has the right to apply for the regulatory approvals necessary to expand the facility's cultivation area, ultimately up to the maximum 9,000 sq. ft., which is currently permitted under OhiGrow's Level II cultivation license.
