MIAMI, Dec. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Cansortium Inc. (CSE:TIUM.U) (OTCQB: CNTMF) ("Cansortium" or the "Company") and the recently-formed Special Committee of the Board of Directors today announced the signing of separate definitive agreements to sell the Company's non-core operations in Canada and Puerto Rico. Terms of the sales, which are each subject to customary conditions and regulatory approvals, were not disclosed.

Neal Hochberg, Chairman of the Board and of the Special Committee, commented, "The key objectives of the Special Committee's strategic initiatives are to generate value from the Company's non-core assets and to prioritize capital allocation toward profitable growth. Together with the previously announced strategic reorganization and growth initiatives, the sale of the Company's Canadian and Puerto Rican assets frees up important capital and reduces the Company's operating costs, enabling management to increase its focus on the large, actionable opportunities in Florida and other U.S. markets, including Michigan, Texas and Pennsylvania. At the same time, we continue to evaluate strategic alternatives with respect to the Company's remaining non-core assets."
