$CANV Closes $6,500,000 Financing With Institutional Investor

CannaVest’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Michael Mona, Jr., stated, “We very carefully selected our partner in this financing, and after talking with multiple investors interested in our company, we selected the investor willing to invest in our company’s fundamentals and bet on the future success of our operations. We believe the terms of the financing reflect this, by allowing us to confidently predict and control the number of shares issuable to the investor. Unlike many investors in small cap companies, our investor was willing to negotiate and agree on terms that will support our efforts to provide value to our stockholders.”

In addition to securing additional working capital through the financing, CannaVest also announces that it has successfully renegotiated its financial commitments to its leading supplier of raw material in Europe. “Maintaining our dominant supply chain position and the strong relationships with our suppliers is a key differentiating value component of our company,” stated Joseph Dowling, Chief Financial Officer of CannaVest. “We are fortunate that our leading supplier recognized that limiting our financial outlay in 2015 for securing new product would greatly enhance the long term strength of our company. By restructuring our 2015 commitment to our supplier, we are now able to dedicate our resources toward continuing to build our sales channel,” continued Mr. Dowling.
