"With the gross proceeds from this financing we now have the capital to completely implement our business plan,” Canntab CFO Richard Goldstein said in a statement.
“Raising significant equity during these extraordinary market conditions coupled with the inherent recent challenges in the Cannabis space, in particular, is a testament to the level of interest which exists in the future of Canntab.”
Canntab, based in Toronto, has filed 13 patents in Canada and the United States that cover a range of processes and formulations needed to create the company's hard pill formulations, including instant release, extended-release, and bi-layered solutions.
"We began as a pharmaceutical company more than a decade ago, and we will continue to operate as a pharmaceutical company producing the most advanced medical cannabis solutions," Goldstein said.
