DENVER, June 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Elixinol, one of the most influential CBD brands in the world with nearly three decades of experience in the hemp industry, recently announced that its parent company Elixinol Global (EXL) has raised A$50 million through the issue of approximately 12.8 million shares at A$3.90 per share to institutional investors.
Proceeds acquired will be used to further expand operations in Colorado, Elixinol’s U.S. headquarters. Through this expansion, the company hopes to expedite innovation and continue to push the boundaries of its reach through strategic innovations and joint ventures.

“I acknowledge the strong support of new and existing institutional investors to accelerate EXL’s expansion in the U.S. and globally. We are witnessing an unprecedented positive shift in consumer appetite for CBD and hemp derived products. Elixinol plans to double its current production capacity in the U.S.,” said Paul Benhaim, CEO and co-founder of Elixinol. “Further, by securing additional raw materials, the company will be well positioned to accelerate the growth of Elixinol-branded CBD products and strategic opportunities.”
