NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE U.S.

SALINAS, Calif., July 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Indus Holdings, Inc. (“Indus” or the “Company”) (CSE: INDS; OTCQX: INDXF), announces that it has terminated the pending acquisition of assets from W Vapes announced in May of 2019. The termination of the transaction coincides with an asset acquisition announced between Planet 13 and W Vapes. All figures stated are in US Dollars.

Under the terms of the termination, Indus will no longer be obligated to acquire the assets of W Vapes. Additionally, the Las Vegas facility that Indus acquired on December 6, 2019, which is home of the local cultivation operations, will be sold to certain affiliates of Planet 13. Indus received a cash payment of $500,000 at signing and upon the closing of the transaction following regulatory approvals, Indus will receive additional net cash proceeds of approximately $2.8 million.

“As we have stated previously, this acquisition and the associated expenditure of shareholder capital no longer made strategic sense for Indus,” said George Allen, Chairman of the board of Indus Holdings, Inc. “This termination is in keeping with our focus on California, the world’s largest cannabis market where we see ample opportunity to redeploy capital with greater inherent synergies that support our go-forward strategy and path to profitability.”
