Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – TheNewswire - January 25, 2022 – Global Cannabis Applications Corp. ("GCAC" or the "Company") (CSE:APP) (FSE:2FA) (OTC: FUAPF) (CNSX:APP.CN), a leading medical cannabis chain-of-custody compliance and data platform, announced it has signed an Letter Of Intent to acquire 33% of a South African Cell Captive (“CC”) insurance company focused on Cannabis grow operations in Southern Africa from Blue Anchor Risk Solutions (“BAR”). As part of the transaction, GCAC will grant BAR exclusive sub-license rights for Efixii software in South Africa, Lesotho and Zimbabwawe, and BAR will pay GCAC rolyaties fees based on the usage. The LOI is expected to become a definitive agreement no later than February 15th 2022. Cultivators using Efixii will be offered preferred insurance rates by BAR due to Efixii’s superior compliance and transparency, which reduces certain underwriters' risks.

For purposes of the Transaction, CC will be valued at $600,000 such that GCAC will purchase 33% of  CC by granting 4,000,0000 new common shares of GCAC shares (“APP”) to BAR at a deemed price of $0.05. The 4,000,000 common shares of APP will be used by CC as collateral (the “Collateral”) for its insurance book.  The Collateral may only be sold if a valid claim is registered by the holder of the Collateral.  BAR will grant an option to GCAC to purchase 4,000,000 common shares back of APP at a price of $0.001 per share, exerciseable by the Company the sooner of when the Collateral is replaced by cash flow of the Cell Captive and the 2nd anniversary of the Transaction. Upon replacement of the collateral, GCAC will still maintain its 33% interest in the Cell Captive.

BAR’s Cell Captive provides the capability to underwrite medicinal cannabis cultivators and growers. Currently no other South African insurer offers industry-specific solutions to a rapidly growing market.
