Drop Leaf

Julian Marley’s JuJu Royal Brand will trade as “JUJU”

Calgary, Alberta – Sept. 22, 2017 /AxisWire/ – GEA Technologies Ltd. “NEX:GEA.H” (“GEA” or the “Company”), an Alberta corporation listed on the NEX exchange, and DropLeaf LLC (“DropLeaf”), a limited liability company governed by the laws of Nevada, are pleased to announce (further to the press release dated September 8, 2017), that the merger transaction has been completed.

Immediately prior to and in connection with the Closing, the Company issued an aggregate of 11,902,439 Common Shares at a price of $0.05 per Common Share to raise gross proceeds of $595,122. The subscribers included a director of GEA who subscribed for 3,600,000 Common Shares. The shares will be subject to a four month hold period.

The Common Shares are expected to be listed and posted for trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) on Monday, September 25, 2017 under the symbol “JUJU”. The GEA common shares have ceased to be listed on the TSX Venture Exchange.

GEA will carry on business as International Cannabrands through its wholly owned Nevada subsidiary, International Cannabrands Ltd. The Company will propose a formal name change to its shareholders at its next annual meeting to adopt the name of “International Cannabrands.” Concurrently with the CSE listing, the Common Shares will be delisted from the NEX board of the TSX Venture Exchange.

“This offering brings our ability to expand on a national and international level to an accelerated position in the marketplace,” said Jeffrey Britz, Chairman & CEO of International Cannabrands. “As cannabis is now the fastest growing emerging industry around the world, operational capital is critical at this time to build a portfolio that will see successful growth. Advancement throughout the space through positive collaborations, partnerships and acquisitions will now be priority.”

“We are excited to be part of the Canadian Securities Exchange. It is an honor,” stated Travis Belcher, President. “Canada is a world leader for cannabis publicly traded companies.”

“The elements that attracted GEA to DropLeaf, was the Julian Marley name both as an artist and activist within the cannabis culture a strong presence in the US cannabis market and the successful business history built on mergers and acquisitions with DropLeaf Founder and CEO, Jeffrey Britz. We believe that International Cannabrands is in an excellent position to take advantage of the opportunities that have presented themselves. We are extremely happy with the approval of our CSE listing under the symbol “JuJu” and with the completion of the merger” said Antonio Ruggieri, former President & CEO of GEA.

Jeffrey Britz has become Chairman and CEO of GEA, as well as a director, while Travis Belcher will assume the role of President and a Director of GEA.
