MTech Aquisition Corp. (“MTEC”), announced Thursday morning that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement with MJ Freeway LLC, a leading seed-to-sale technology provider and developer of the cannabis industry’s first enterprise resource planning platform. The combined company is estimated to have an initial equity value of $70 million, with shares of the new company valued at $10.16 per share.
It is estimated that MJ Freeway captures more than 30% of the global cannabis technology market based on management’s estimates. MJ Freeway has tracked more than $10 billion in sales for its clients in Australia, Europe, South America, New Zealand, Africa, Canada, and the United States in 29 states and the District of Columbia. Additionally, MJ Freeway’s software, MJ Platform®, includes compliance tracking of cannabis from seed-to-sale, as well as enterprise scale business management tools across the entire supply chain. Its Leaf Data Systems® software solution enables governments to track cannabis plants from seed-to-sale to help ensure patient, public and product safety.
Furthermore, Roger McNamee, founder of the venture capital firm Elevation Partners, and who is a current MJ Freeway investor and Senior Strategic Advisor to their Board, supports the transaction.
