Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE:FRSX), an innovator in automotive vision systems, announced today the signing of a non-binding Development and Investment Agreement with RH Electronics Ltd., a primary contractor in the manufacturing and assembly of electronic systems.

The agreement covers the terms of RH’s engagement, directly and/or through its approved contractor, Tonson Labs, for a multi-phase project to develop chip-based FPGA and ASIC solutions for QuadSight™, Foresight’s four-camera vision system. Initially, RH will lay the infrastructure for an FPGA-board platform. Following completion of phase 1 and successful pass of acceptance tests, RH is planned to proceed towards development and manufacturing of an ASIC chip for the QuadSight™ system.

The parties are targeting to enter, within two months, into a binding agreement based on the principles of the initial non-binding agreement, pursuant to which the parties will determine the minimal quantities of QuadSight™ production units, and the commercial terms of production. In addition, under such binding agreement RH will receive a “right of first refusal” for the manufacturing of QuadSight™ systems and will prepare the infrastructure for such manufacturing facilities.

In addition, RH plans to purchase from Foresight, pursuant to the final binding agreement, approximately 1% of its issued and outstanding share capital, in total consideration of NIS 3,700,000, or NIS 3.00 per ordinary share, representing an 89% premium over the share market price.

“We are very excited about this important strategic alliance with RH that aims to enable us to achieve important future technological milestones,” said CEO of Foresight, Haim Siboni. “RH’s intended investment at a premium over the share market price marks a significant show of confidence in Foresight’s technology. RH’s engineering, developing and manufacturing capabilities are of great value to Foresight, making them an ideal partner for our future roadmap.”

“We believe in Foresight, its technology and products,” said chairman of the board of RH, Yacov Rozenberg. “Having the opportunity to collaborate with Foresight allows us to step into the exciting world of automotive. This agreement is expected to give RH exclusive rights to new production lines that will surely generate growth for company.”

$YGYI Passage of 2018 Farm Bill Could Lead to a Flurry of M&A Activity in CBD

Industry Leaders Looking at Acquisitions and Partnerships to Enter Burgeoning Legal CBD Market

NEW YORK, Dec. 17, 2018 — Cannagreed.com News Commentary

With the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, there are many companies in the CBD space that are poised to receive significant interest from industry leaders in numerous sectors that are looking to capitalize off the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill by acquiring or forming partnerships with the companies that have already entrenched themselves in the CBD sector.

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is the non-psychoactive chemical compound found in the hemp plant. The 2018 Farm Bill nationally legalizes the cultivation and farming of that plant, which in turn will allow for the national legalization of CBD, removing barriers that have restricted mainstream commercial acceptance of the compound.  Many companies have already staked positions in their industries to take the lead in establishing their leadership in the CBD and Hemp space.

Industry leaders have been taking notice of these events. They do not want to be left behind by the “CBD revolution”, as this bill “is a watershed moment for the CBD industry” said Brightfield Group, a company that specializes in cannabis and CBD market research, which projects that the medical and recreational CBD market is expected to reach an estimated value of $22 billion by 2022. Many companies have already expressed interest in acquiring or partnering with companies in the sector. The markets could positively reward these companies for their interest in the space:

GW Pharmaceuticals (OTC:GWPRF), the maker of Epidiolex, an epilepsy drug containing CBD. This Company had the first FDA-approved drug made from the cannabis plant, and its approval was done in tandem with the FDA reclassifying certain drugs containing CBD to Schedule 5 drugs.  Now that CBD is a legal substance, there are expectations that the Company will be looking to develop other CBD derived drugs. Johnson & Johnson (J&J) would be natural fit to either invest or acquire GW Pharmaceuticals as they have invested in two startup bio-tech companies, Avicanna and Vapium Medical through its JLABS Innovation startup. In light of the recent scandal that has plagued the Company, further investment into the hot CBD sector might help J&J turn their business around.

New Age Beverage (NASDAQ:NBEV), the US based energy and natural beverage manufacturer recently announced that it was beginning to produce CBD infused beverages. This got the attention of the entire beverage industry, including Coca-Cola, whom was reportedly interested in acquiring a minority stake or acquiring New Age outright. This is would be a natural play for Coca Cola, as their core soft drink business is being eroded by healthier alternatives. They continuously looking for new beverages to add to their portfolio to address the growing consumer demand for healthy alternatives. New Age’s CBD infused beverages would fit within Coca-Cola’s mandate of diversifying through health conscious beverages, and would take advantage of the hot CBD sector.

American Premium Water Corporation (OTC:HIPH), the marketer and distributor of the first hydro-nano CBD infused beverage on the market, is another company in the CBD space that has been linked to a larger, established beverage company. It was reported that American Premium Water’s CEO had met with National Beverage Corporation (NASDAQ:FIZZ), the manufacturer and distributer of various beverage brands, including the premium carbonated brand LaCroix, to discuss a potential partnership or minority investment. This would make a lot of sense for National Beverage, whom has also been besieged by its own scandal involving arsenic with its signature brand LaCroix. American Premium Water announced that it acquired proprietary CBD hydro-nano formulations which National Beverage could utilize for its line of beverages, including LaCroix. An entry into the burgeoning CBD space would re-invigorate the company, and they would be able to scale very quickly their wide distribution network a CBD infused beverage where there is a lot of thirst for product.

Youngevity International (NASDAQ:YGYI), the coffee and nutritional product manufacturer, entered the CBD space in 2017, by introducing a number of CBD infused products into its direct and multi-level channels, including a CBD coffee product, which has become one of its most popular sellers. This company has had tremendous success building a captive CBD customer base with its coffee product, has drawn attention from many players in the industry, including Keurig Dr Pepper, which has extensive distribution in the coffee space, including its Green Mountain Coffee subsidiary. It would be very easy for Keurig to drop Youngevity’s CBD infused coffee blends into its distribution channel, as coffee is one of the top products infusing CBD. Its only a matter of time before the country’s largest coffee distributor enters the CBD space, and Youngevity looks like a natural target.

$NUGS to Uplist to OTCQB, CEO Cancels 60 Million Shares,

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 12, 2018 — via OTC PR WIRE — Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTC:NUGS), today announced a major common share restructuring led by Chief Executive Officer, Simon Yu, who will cancel 60 million shares as part of the Company’s efforts to increase shareholder value and to uplist on the OTCQB Venture Market Place. The OTCQB Tier, which has more stringent reporting standards, compliance requirements and requires that companies maintain minimum share prices and be fully reporting, provides investors with increased transparency. Typically, uplisting to a higher tier results in greater awareness and liquidity for the issuer.

Cannabis Strategic Ventures latest share restructuring expands on an August 2018 undertaking where the Company canceled 75.6 million shares, including 20 million from Yu. Both share cancellations aim to increase value for investors and to qualify the company for OTCQB uplisting.

“2018 has been a tremendous year for the cannabis industry, marijuana stocks and cannabis investors. Reducing the number of outstanding shares increases the value for our shareholders and signals management’s commitment to building an industry-leading organization,” said Simon Yu, CEO, Cannabis Strategic Ventures. “Along with increasing shareholder value, moving to a higher tier exchange is a priority for our Company. OTCQB, will help broaden our shareholder base, provide better access to institutional investors and create additional value to current shareholders.”

A report by Arcview Market Research, in partnership with BDS Analytics, highlights the burgeoning cannabis industry and predicts that worldwide consumer spending on legal cannabis is projected to reach $57 billion by 2027, with adult-use cannabis making up the majority of spending at $38.3 billion.

Yu added, “As cannabis-friendly legislation expands nationally and globally, and as the industry gains new consumers, Cannabis Strategic Ventures will be positioned to add shareholder value through calculated and impactful acquisitions.”

About Cannabis Strategic Ventures
Cannabis Strategic Ventures is a Los Angeles based firm that incubates, develops and partners with category leaders within the cannabis sector. The Firm’s NUGS brand experience provides mentorship and a range of essential services to emerging and existing Cannabis consumer brands.

$TGODF Announces 2018 AGM Voting Results

is pleased to announce the voting results from its annual general and special meeting of shareholders of the Company (“Shareholders“), held in Mississauga, Ontario on December 6, 2018 (the “Meeting“).

All of the matters put forward before Shareholders for consideration and approval as set out in the Company’s management information circular dated November 7, 2018 (the “Circular“) were approved by the requisite majority of votes cast at the Meeting. In particular, Shareholders approved the election of all director nominees as follows:

Shareholders also approved the following items of business before the Meeting: (1)  the setting of the number of directors of the Company at five; (2) the appointment of KPMG LLP as auditor of the Company for the ensuing year and the authorization of directors to fix their remuneration; (3) the adoption by the Company of a new 10% rolling share option plan (the “New Share Option Plan“); (4) the adoption by the Company of a fixed number restricted share unit plan (the “New Restricted Unit Plan“); and (5) the adoption by the Company of a fixed number non-employee directors deferred share unit plan (the “New Non-Employee Directors Deferred Unit Plan“).

The total number of common shares of the Company (“Common Shares“) represented by Shareholders present in person and by proxy at the Meeting was 56,214,964 Common Shares, representing 20.92% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding Common Shares. Detailed voting results for the Meeting together with a copy of each of the New Share Option Plan, the New Restricted Unit Plan and the New Non-Employee Directors Deferred Units are available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

“We are thrilled with the overwhelming support from shareholders at our AGM,” commented Jeff Scott, Chairman of the Board. “2019 will be a pivotal year as TGOD’s flagship domestic facilities begin production ramp-up and sales commence in the coming weeks. With over $450 million raised, TGOD has established itself as a leader in Canadian and international cannabis markets with differentiated premium all-natural organic product, continued expansion across Europe and Latin America, and a team with over 200 years of CPG experience including a proven track record and ability to execute. I have the utmost confidence in our team as we solidify our organic leadership position and deliver on our goal of becoming the largest organic cannabis brand in the world.”

The Company is also pleased to announce that the previously announced plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement“) involving the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, TGOD Acquisition Corporation (“SpinCo“) and the related non-brokered private placement offering by SpinCo of up to 20,000,000 subscription receipts of SpinCo (“Subscription Receipts“) at a price of $0.50 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of up to $10,000,000 were also overwhelmingly approved by Shareholders at the Meeting.

Pursuant to the Arrangement, Shareholders of record as of the distribution date (the “Distribution Record Date“) will receive 0.15 of one unit purchase warrant of SpinCo (each, a “SpinCo Unit Warrant“) for each Common Share held. Each SpinCo Unit Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one unit of SpinCo (a “SpinCo Unit“) at a price of $0.50 per SpinCo Unit for a period of 30 days from the effective date of the Arrangement (the “Effective Date“). Each SpinCo Unit will consist of one common share of SpinCo (“SpinCo Share“) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of SpinCo (a “SpinCo Warrant“) with an exercise price of $1.25 per SpinCo Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from the date the SpinCo Shares commence trading on a recognized stock exchange, subject to certain acceleration provisions.

Shareholder approval of the Arrangement follows the receipt by the Company on November 6, 2018 of an interim order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) (the “Court“) authorizing various matters in connection with the Arrangement. The Company is seeking a final order of the Court to approve the Arrangement at a hearing expected to be held on December 10, 2018.

The establishment of the Distribution Record Date remains subject to the satisfaction of all conditions to the Arrangement (including receipt of requisite corporate and Court approvals) and the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange. The board of directors of the Company will determine the Distribution Record Date and the Effective Date following satisfaction of all of the conditions to the completion of the Arrangement. The Company will provide further updates on the Arrangement and the Distribution Record Date in due course.

Full details of the Arrangement and certain other matters are set out in Circular, a copy of which together with other meeting materials can be found under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

$NUGS Large and Small-Scale Cannabis Cultivation Fueling Growth of Budding Industry

CannabisNewsWire – CannabisNewsWire (“CNW”), a multifaceted financial news and publishing company, today announces the publication of an editorial featuring Cannabis Strategic Ventures (OTC: NUGS), a client of CNW focused on incubating, developing and partnering with category leaders within the cannabis sector.

To view the full publication, titled “Cannabis Cultivation Powering Growth for the Industry,” visit: http://cnw.fm/dtN7O

This interest of Cannabis Strategic Ventures shows how quickly cannabis cultivation has acquired the trappings of a legally established industry. As a publicly traded company that incubates, develops and partners with brands, Cannabis Strategic Ventures is a sort of meta-business that emerges in sophisticated markets — bolstering the development of production, services and retail through its application of business acumen and strategically applied capital.

Cannabis cultivation is a specialist form of agriculture, requiring an understanding of hydroponics, plant strains and environmental factors that affect the potency of crops. Acquiring those skills hasn’t been easy, especially given how long the industry operated in the shadows, its techniques and collective knowledge shared only through illicit channels. As cultivation takes off, the industry needs the support of companies such as Cannabis Strategic Ventures to acquire equipment, train staff and build facilities to meet the demand of a growing customer base.

About Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc.

Cannabis Strategic Ventures is a Los Angeles based firm that incubates, develops and partners with category leaders within the cannabis sector.

$FRSX Vision System Installed in Leading Automotive OEM’s Vehicle

Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE:FRSX), an innovator in automotive vision systems, announced today that it has successfully delivered and installed its first QuadSight™ prototype system for evaluation by a leading European manufacturer of commercial vehicles. QuadSight™ was successfully installed on the manufacturer’s truck and passed all initial performance testing. The customer will continue independent evaluation of the system’s performance.

A CES 2019 Innovation Award Honoree, the QuadSight™ quad-camera vision solution targets semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicles and is designed to allow near-100 percent obstacle detection with near zero false alerts, under any weather or lighting conditions.

By collaborating closely with the vehicle manufacturer at the prototype evaluation stage, Foresight collects important feedback in order to develop a commercial product that fits the exact customer’s requirements. Customer satisfaction at the end of the evaluation process may lead to future orders of QuadSight™systems by the vehicle manufacturer for mass production.

“This successful installation marks an important milestone in Foresight’s roadmap,” said Haim Siboni, CEO of Foresight. “We believe that in-vehicle evaluations of the QuadSight™ vision system will clearly demonstrate its advantage over competing systems by its ability to detect any obstacles under harsh weather and diverse lighting conditions. Such evaluations will increase the customer’s confidence in Foresight’s products.”

Using a four-camera vision system based on stereoscopic technology, QuadSight addresses the real-world need for autonomous driving in all-weather and all-lighting conditions and is designed to provide an unprecedented level of obstacle detection accuracy for semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicle safety. Leveraging decades of field-proven security technology and highly advanced image-processing algorithms, QuadSight™ uniquely enables visibility in complete darkness, snow, rain, fog, sandstorms and blinding glare.

Foresight will offer a live demonstration the QuadSight™ vision system at CES 2019, held from January 8–11 at the Westgate Las Vegas, booth #2206. Contact Foresight to schedule a demo.

About QuadSight™
Foresight first launched a demo of its QuadSight™ system last January at the CES show in Las Vegas. Foresight regards QuadSight™ as the industry’s most accurate quad-camera vision system, offering exceptional obstacle detection for semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicle safety. Using proven, highly advanced image-processing algorithms, QuadSight™ uses four-camera technology that combines two pairs of stereoscopic infrared and daylight cameras. QuadSight™ is designed to achieve near-100% obstacle detection with near zero false alerts under any weather or lighting conditions – including complete darkness, rain, haze, fog and glare.

Stereoscopic vision technology’s exceptional three-dimensional (3D) images, detection and accuracy are essential for safe and reliable semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicle vision systems. The combination of stereoscopic visible-light cameras and thermal vision exceeds a human driver’s ability to see objects in real time, whether large or small, in-motion or static, and from short or long-range distances.

About Foresight
Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX), founded in 2015, is a technology company engaged in the design, development and commercialization of stereo/quad-camera vision systems and V2X cellular-based solutions for the automotive industry. Foresight’s vision systems are based on 3D video analysis, advanced algorithms for image processing, and sensor fusion. The company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Foresight Automotive Ltd., develops advanced systems for accident prevention which are designed to provide real-time information about the vehicle’s surroundings while in motion. The systems are designed to improve driving safety by enabling highly accurate and reliable threat detection while ensuring the lowest rates of false alerts. The company’s systems are targeting the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicle markets. The company predicts that its systems will revolutionize automotive safety by providing an automotive-grade, cost-effective platform and advanced technology.
