Liht Cannabis Corporation (CNW Group/Liht Cannabis Corporation)

The Company will vigorously defend itself against the claim made by Veritas. As set out in the Response to Civil Claim, the Company believes the allegations are without merit and that the Agreement is in full force and effect. The Company is seeking an order for specific performance requiring Veritas to perform its obligations to the Agreement and otherwise abide by its terms, or alternatively, damages.

The Company alleges that the terms of the Agreement include, amongst others, a repayment of the $1,000,000 loan by transferring $100,000 to Veritas and by assigning its interest in the asset purchase agreement to acquire a marijuana production operation in Washington State.
