As previously announced on April 21, 2020 all required licenses and permits to commence the manufacturing of CBD at the ORIGIN extraction facility have been secured.

Proceedings issued in the English High Court have also been served by Borganic today on Dragonfly and also on Ms Radostina Draganova-Nikolova, a director of Dragonfly and general manager of the Joint Venture company.

In the proceedings served by Borganic it seeks declarations from the English High Court that:

1) Dragonfly has materially and persistently breached the Joint Venture agreement which constitutes a compulsory transfer event in favour of Borganic;

2) The notice of termination and compulsory transfer event served by Dragonfly on August 3, 2020 is null and void; and

3) Borganic retains ownership in the equipment it has financed at the Joint Venture extraction facility.

Borganic also claims damages against Dragonfly for the losses it has suffered as a result of Dragonfly’s alleged breaches of the Joint Venture agreement.
