NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION BY ANY UNITED STATES NEWS DISTRIBUTION SERVICE

TORONTO, Oct. 02, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quinsam Capital Corporation (CSE:QCA) ("Quinsam" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it expects a large number of liquidity events by its investee companies in the coming months.

“Quinsam has invested in a large number of pre-public companies over the last year” said Roger Dent, CEO of Quinsam. “Many of these investments were in anticipation of going-public transactions. Following the usual slow period for liquidity events in the summer of 2018, Quinsam now anticipates a very active period for liquidity events as we head into the end of 2018. In all cases, we currently expect the liquidity events to have a positive impact on our NAV. We are at present very optimistic about the prospects for our Q4 results.”

The timing of these liquidity events is not in Quinsam’s control and they are subject to regulatory approvals, which may not be forthcoming. However, based on what has been announced, liquidity events anticipated in the near term include the following:

Acreage Holdings: Quinsam invested $992,000 in Acreage at a pre-money value of approximately US$500 million. Acreage has announced an RTO on the CSE with an anticipated listing in November. The RTO is with Applied Inventions Management Corp. “We think that Acreage has the potential to be regarded as the premier US cannabis company” said Roger Dent. “Given the market response to the current private financing by Curaleaf Inc., we would not be surprised to see Acreage trade at a very large premium to our cost.” 

FLRish Inc (dba Harborside): Quinsam invested US$1.25 million in this company and it has announced an RTO with Lineage Grow Company Ltd., another Quinsam investee. We anticipate a well-received listing in December.

Halo Labs Inc. has received conditional listing approval from the CSE for its merger with Apogee Opportunities Inc. We invested $500,000 in Halo Labs Inc. and we understand that listing is imminent.
