PharmaCan Capital announced in a press release yesterday a corporate rebranding to Cronos Group.  The new branding reflects the vision of the company as Canada's first bi-coastal licensed marijuana producer with interests in five licensed producers and three applicants.

"The rebranding was inspired by Greek mythology. As patron of the harvest, Cronos' rule ushered in the 'Golden Age' and bountiful, healthy harvests. This new name allows us to emphasize our strategic vision of efficiently producing premium marijuana and distributing it across Canada and around the world," said Cronos Group's CEO, Mike Gorenstein.

The company also announced two new members to the Cronos team.  David Hsu, whose expertise include operational restructuring, lean manufacturing and growth creation, joined Cronos Group as Head of Operations.  As well, William Hilson, a Certified Public Accountant with over 15 years experience in publicly listed multinational pharmaceutical companies, joined the team as Chief Financial Officer.

"With our new team of seasoned industry experts and collection of diverse assets within a rapidly developing multi-billion-dollar industry, the Cronos Group is well positioned to realize optimal value for our shareholders in the impending 'Golden Age' of the cannabis industry," said Jason Adler, a director of Cronus Group.

The ticker for Cronos Group's common stock listed on the TSX Venture Exchange will continue to be "MJN".
