Canopy Growth Corporation Reiterates Stance on International Markets
SMITHS FALLS, ON, Aug. 4, 2017 /CNW/ – In response to multiple media reports regarding US market participation and security regulations, and as stated in a press release dated June 19th, 2017, Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (OTC: TWMJF) (“Canopy Growth” or the “Company”) wishes to reiterate its commitment to only conducting its business in jurisdictions where it is federally legal to do so.
Canopy Growth believes that conducting activities which are federally illegal, or investing in companies which do, puts the company at risk of prosecution, puts at risk its ability to operate freely, and potentially could jeopardize its listing on major exchanges now and in the future, limiting access to capital from reputable US-based funds.
Canopy Growth investors can feel confident that they are not being exposed to undue risks. We have a responsibility to our shareholders to only operate in a manner where clear federal and fully legal frameworks exist for that conduct.
Bruce Linton, Chairman & CEO
