The company was very prompt getting back to me, helps having Canada in a different time zone. Unfortunately when companies put out asx releases, lawyers get involved, dotting i's crossing t's causing a loss of plain English readability.

Here's their de-identified reply..
Hello xxxx,
Thanks for the below ...
In summary the market obviously has not understood the transaction ...
The acquisition is based around 4 milestones of which the second 10% revolves around the conversion / renewal of the license under the Cannabis Act ...
The third is the change of address and ownership which includes the approval of standard processing at the new facility for a further 30% ...

The transaction could not be further de-risked from the point of view the Company has secured a license for 80% Stock and 20% Cash staged over four milestones to be fully operational and compliant as a cultivator ...
Are the readers aware that all licenses in Australia also ‘expire’ / renew annually ... this is not dissimilar to renewal of mining licenses or your drivers license ... it is the governments way to ensure your premise and security personnel are still compliant and in place ... it is also an avenue to generate annual fees for the government ... as with most of these legislative things you are either compliant or not ... if you are not compliant you are provided with a remedy and a time to remedy ... the government are not in the business of expiring / cancelling licenses ...
Thanks
