$FRSX QuadSight™ Makes the Invisible Visible for Drivers at CES 2019

Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: FRSX), a CES 2019 Innovation Awards Honoree in the Vehicle Intelligence and Self-Driving Technology category, will showcase a live demonstration, streaming direct from Israel, of its QuadSight™ vision system designed for semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicles. Broadcasting during the evening hours in Israel, Foresight will demonstrate in real time how QuadSight™ detects any obstacle in darkness, fog, rain, and blinding glare. The demonstration will be shown in booth #2206 at CES 2019, January 8–11 at the Westgate Las Vegas.

Targeted for the rigorous performance requirements of Level 3, 4 and 5 autonomous vehicles established by the Society of Automotive Engineers, QuadSight™ is designed to achieve all obstacle detection with near-zero false alerts under all weather and lighting conditions. 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’s quad-camera technology vision system fuses two pairs of long-wave infrared (LWIR) and visible-light stereoscopic cameras to achieve an unprecedented and unmatched performance standard for autonomous vehicle vision.

“In 2018, QuadSight’s remarkable vision capabilities were embraced by both automotive manufacturers and industry observers, as Foresight recorded multiple sales of its QuadSight prototype and received a number of innovation awards,” said Haim Siboni, CEO of Foresight. “CES 2019 will offer an opportunity to demonstrate our ability to provide superior obstacle detection in all weather and lighting conditions.”

QuadSight™ combines both reflective visible-light stereoscopic and emissive thermal stereoscopic vision. While visible-light camera systems utilize the same or sometimes less information than the human eye, LWIR imaging adds another layer of information based not on visible light, but on heat emissions. Essential for safety and reliability, stereoscopic vision technology produces exceptional three-dimensional (3D) images that result in outstanding object detection and accuracy for semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicles.

At CES 2019, QuadSight™ will be demonstrated at Foresight’s booth #2206 at Westgate Las Vegas. The QuadSight™ vision system demonstration will be broadcast live several times per day. Interested parties are encouraged to contact Foresight to schedule a demo. The demonstration will be streamed to Foresight’s booth from a test site in Israel, enabling a real-time, driver’s perspective. For a brief video showing the QuadSight™ vision technology, click here. As a CES 2019 Innovation Awards Honoree, QuadSight™ will be on display at the CES Innovation Awards Showcase at Tech West, The Venetian, Venetian Ballroom E/F. A QuadSight™ prototype will also be on display at the FLIR booth #31166, LVCC South Hall.

The CES Innovation Awards is an annual competition that recognizes two levels of honorees across 28 product categories. A panel of judges, including designers, engineers and members of the tech media, reviews submissions based on design, functionality, consumer appeal, engineering and how the products compare with competition. CES 2019 will showcase more than 4,500 exhibiting companies, including manufacturers, developers and suppliers of consumer technology hardware, content, technology delivery systems and more.

$RIV $TRSSF Gaining Traction in New Jersey Medical Cannabis Market

TORONTO, Dec. 18, 2018 — Canopy Rivers Inc. (“Canopy Rivers” or the “Company”) (TSXV: RIV) today provided an update that an entity controlled by its portfolio company TerrAscend Corp. (“TerrAscend”) (CSE: TER; OTCQX: TRSSF), NETA NJ LLC (“NETA”), has been selected by the State of New Jersey Department of Health to apply for final approval to operate a vertically integrated Alternative Treatment Center (ATC), which would permit it to cultivate, process and sell medical cannabis in the state.

The State of New Jersey received a total of 146 applications to cultivate, process and sell medical cannabis. NETA was the highest scoring applicant in the most densely populated region in the state, and one of only six successful applicants statewide. Each application was scored by a six-member selection committee selected to provide expertise across a wide range of areas, including plant sciences, diversity and inclusion, and all regulatory aspects of the medicinal marijuana program.  These successful applicants were chosen as part of the state’s plan to expand the medicinal marijuana program to include an increased number of eligible conditions for the growing patient population, which now has almost 40,000 participating patients.

In October, Canopy Rivers agreed to a restructuring of its investment in TerrAscend in order to accommodate TerrAscend’s strategic pursuits, while also maintaining strict compliance with industry regulations and the policies of the various securities exchanges which it is subject to. Pursuant to the restructuring, Canopy Rivers Corporation exchanged its common shares for exchangeable shares in the capital of TerrAscend that will only become convertible into common shares following changes in U.S. federal laws regarding the cultivation, distribution or possession of cannabis, the compliance of TerrAscend with such laws and the approval of the various securities exchanges that Canopy Rivers is subject to. The exchangeable shares are not listed on a recognized stock exchange and, until converted into common shares, the holders thereof will not be entitled to voting rights, dividends or other rights upon dissolution of TerrAscend. Given that the growth, cultivation, production and sale of cannabis is not currently federally legal in the US and there can be no assurances that it will be legalized, Canopy Rivers expects to record a write down on its investment in TerrAscend in the third quarter related to the reorganization, unless circumstances change.

Canopy Rivers does not engage in any U.S. cannabis-related activities as defined in Canadian Securities Administrators Staff Notice 51-532.

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains statements which constitute “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable securities laws, including statements regarding the plans, intentions, beliefs and current expectations of the Company with respect to future business activities and operating performance. Forward-looking information is often identified by the words “may”, “would”, “could”, “should”, “will”, “intend”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect” or similar expressions and includes information regarding the business and operations of NETA, the U.S. cannabis market, and expectations for other economic, business, and/or competitive factors.

Investors are cautioned that forward-looking information is not based on historical facts but instead reflects management’s expectations, estimates or projections concerning future results or events based on the opinions, assumptions and estimates of management considered reasonable at the date the statements are made. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking information are reasonable, such information involves risks and uncertainties, and undue reliance should not be placed on such information, as unknown or unpredictable factors could have material adverse effects on future results, performance or achievements of the Company. Among the key factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking information are the following: ability of NETA to operate a vertically integrated ATC; potential conflicts of interest; changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; the U.S. regulatory landscape and enforcement related to cannabis, including political risks and risks relating to regulatory change; changes in applicable laws; the expansion of the New Jersey medicinal marijuana program; the size of the patient population; compliance with extensive government regulation; public opinion and perception of the cannabis industry; risks related to the U.S. cannabis industry generally; as well as the risk factors set out in the joint management information circular of Canopy Rivers Corporation and the Company dated August 8, 2018, filed with Canadian securities regulators and available on the Company’s issuer profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

As cannabis remains illegal under federal law in the U.S., financial transactions involving proceeds generated by, or intended to promote, cannabis-related business activities in the U.S. may form the basis for prosecution under applicable U.S. federal money laundering legislation. Strict compliance with state laws does not absolve a company of liability under U.S. federal law, nor will it provide a defense to any federal proceeding. Accordingly, future business activities of TerrAscend may violate U.S. federal law and may have a material adverse effect on the business, operations and financial condition of the Company as a result of various reputational, contractual and legal risks associated with the Company holding the exchangeable shares.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking information prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as intended, planned, anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Although the Company has attempted to identify important risks, uncertainties and factors which could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be others that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update this forward-looking information except as otherwise required by applicable law.

The proposed initial public offering would enable investors to directly invest in DPW Technology Group which will include Coolisys Technologies, Inc., Microphase Corporation, Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd, Digital Power Limited, and Power-Plus Technical Distributors, LLC. Management believes that this divestiture and subsequent investment will facilitate execution of the Company’s existing $71 million backlog and fuel future growth. DPW Technology Group intends to hire a Chief Executive Officer to provide leadership during the IPO and to develop and execute future growth strategies.

This announcement is consistent with the Company’s stated holding company strategy, which includes strategic growth, acquisition and disposition of assets and will enable DPW to fund growth opportunities for the benefit of its stockholders. The result will be that DPW maintains ownership benefits while providing the opportunity for the businesses to grow, raise capital and create value as separately listed entities.

CEO and Chairman, Milton “Todd” Ault, III said, “Our strategy is to create opportunities for investors to hold equity in more focused, streamlined entities. The technology and defense businesses have generated a significant backlog, and we believe the capital from an IPO will accelerate revenue growth and, ultimately, add value to our stockholders. This announcement follows recent news regarding our pursuit of a spin-off of, or other transaction involving, Super Crypto Mining, Inc. and we look forward to enhancing value for both companies as they enter their next phase of growth.”

DPW’s primary investor/lender has agreed to provide purchase order financing up to $700,000 which shall be secured by a guarantee of Ault & Company, Inc. (“Ault”). Mr. Ault is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ault and also its majority shareholder. The proceeds from the purchase order financing, if received, shall be used to deliver on the backlog of products in DPW’s defense business. The financing will not be convertible into shares of DPW’s common stock and will carry an annual interest rate of approximately 10%. The parties are in the process of negotiating definitive documents; however, no assurance can be given that the parties will reach agreement.

For more information, DPW recommends that stockholders, investors and any other interested parties read the Company’s public filings and press releases available under the Investor Relations section at http://www.DPWHoldings.com or available at www.sec.gov.

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.

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.

“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.

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.”

$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.
