iAnthus Capital Holdings, Inc. to Present at the 2017 Marcum MicroCap Conference
TORONTO, ON and NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 06/13/17 --
iAnthus Capital Holdings, Inc. ("iAnthus" or "the Company"), (CSE: IAN)(OTCQB: ITHUF), which owns, operates, and partners with licensed cannabis operations throughout the United States, is pleased to announce that Hadley Ford, Chief Executive Officer, will present at the 6th Annual Marcum MicroCap Conference at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York on Thursday, June 15, 2017 at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time.
iAnthus announced earlier this week that they have signed a binding letter of intent to acquire 100% of Valley Agriceuticals, LLC. ("Valley Ag"), which has conditional approval from the New York State Department of Health to be awarded one of just ten medical marijuana licenses issued by the state . The proposed acquisition, when closed, will expand iAnthus' portfolio into five regulated cannabis states in the U.S., which the Company believes will constitute the largest footprint among public companies focused on licensed cannabis operations in the U.S.
Hadley Ford, Chief Executive Officer of iAnthus, commented, "We look forward to the proposed expansion into New York, which we believe has the potential to be one of the largest medical marijuana markets in the U.S. due to its large population and rapidly growing patient base. With this expansion, iAnthus is well positioned to harness the growth in the legal cannabis market, which is the fastest growing industry in the United States. We welcome the opportunity to update the investment community on our current licensed operations and growth strategy at the Marcum Conference."
The presentation will offer the investment community an opportunity to hear about iAnthus' cannabis operations and expansion strategy. The management of iAnthus will also be available for one-on-one meetings at the conference on Thursday, June 15, 2017 and Friday, June 16, 2017. Investors interested in arranging a meeting should contact their Marcum representative.
