In other recent news, Akanda Corp. announced a strategic shift in its business operations with the acquisition of First Towers & Fiber Corp., a telecommunications infrastructure company. This transaction will make First Towers a wholly owned subsidiary of Akanda. As part of the deal, First Towers shareholders will receive approximately 15.3 million Akanda shares or an aggregate cash consideration of about $14.1 million, payable 18 months after closing. Akanda will also assume certain debts and outstanding options from First Towers. This acquisition marks a significant change in Akanda’s focus, as it withdraws from its UK operations, specifically the importing and distribution of cannabis-based products through its Canmart Ltd. subsidiary. The company will now concentrate on developing THC and CBD facilities at its Canadian property in British Columbia. Investors are encouraged to review the forthcoming Form F-4 registration statement, which will provide detailed information about the transaction. These documents will be available through the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or directly from Akanda.
