Whereas, CANA will get 40% of shares in exchange for contributing operational expertise, sourcing the property, providing equipment for refining and extracting product, providing exclusive licenses for products destined to the Mexican market and establishing a written intellectual property licensing agreement of use exclusive to the JV for all current and future technology for oil extraction within the country of Mexico.
Further, the remaining 20% shares will be offered to CBDC in exchange for sourcing of hemp biomass, branding, marketing and the sale of the finished product, including but not limited to CBD isolate in bulk.
