Cannabis producer Zenabis Global Inc. will commence trading under exchange symbol “ZENA” on the TSXV
VANCOUVER, Jan. 10, 2019 /CNW/ – Zenabis Global Inc. (“Zenabis”) is pleased to announce that the trading of its common shares will commence at market open today under exchange symbol “ZENA” on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”).
This event follows the completion of the reverse takeover of Bevo Agro Inc. (“Bevo”) (TSXV: BVO) by Sun Pharm Investments Ltd. (“Sun Pharm”) on January 8, 2019.

(“CubicFarm”) and subsequent a reverse take-over of Bevo by Sun Pharm (the “RTO”), with the resulting combined issuer being Zenabis.
While the Spin-Out and RTO were effective at 12:01 a.m. and 12:05 a.m., respectively, on January 8, 2019, Zenabis’ understanding is that key timing for investors purchasing Bevo shares on the TSX-V over the last two days was as follows:
