Chuma Contracts Capital Canada as Exclusive Canadian Financial Advisor
LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 26, 2014 / Chuma Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:CHUM) (“Chuma” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has contracted Capital Canada Limited (“Capital Canada”) to act as its exclusive Canadian Financial Advisor in connection with raising equity financing for Chuma from Canadian investors.
Capital Canada is a recognized leader in providing investment banking services to predominantly mid-market companies. For over 35 years, it has focused on providing clients with financial advisory services, including equity private placements.
Capital Canada will provide Chuma with ongoing access to Canadian investors and institutions. Capital Canada will manage Chuma’s capital raise in the Canadian marketplace on a best effort basis, coordinate meetings with potential investors and institutions, evaluate proposals, and ensure the timely closure of Chuma’s financing opportunities. The engagement between Chuma and Capital Canada is for a period of one (1) year and subject to renewal by the parties’ mutual agreement.
“Canadians are familiar with our regulated marijuana industry. We are looking forward to presenting Chuma’s unique business strategy to savvy Canadian investors.” said Chuma President Kevin Wright, “To date we have seen very few publically-listed, American companies that allow Canadian investors the opportunity to gain exposure to US legal medical marijuana opportunities. As a Canadian, I have seen the solid rise in interest in this sector in Canada. I believe the Chuma model, in the billion dollar California medical marijuana market, offers a similar opportunity.”
Mr. Jack Steckel, Managing Director, Capital Canada stated “the Chuma business model provides financing and service solutions to lawfully organized medical marijuana companies that offers investors a business driven value proposition. Chuma has a ‘meat and potatoes’ financial model our investors will understand and endorse. We are looking forward to working with the top caliber team at Chuma to bring this story to the Canadian investment community.”
The appointment of Capital Canada as the exclusive Canadian financial adviser to Chuma took effect October 3, 2014 which then included prerequisite due diligence and tours of the Company’s dispensary and production contracts, and meetings with key management. Capital Canada performed and managed the due diligence process including operational, financial, and corporate governance reviews of Chuma.
Interested Accredited Canadian investors are invited to contact Mr. Steckel. Proceeds of the financing will be applied to Chuma’s ongoing business development operations in the legal California medical marijuana market.
