Sativa Group Plc (AQSE:SATI), the UK’s leading quoted CBD wellness and medicinal cannabis Group, announced on 22 April 2020 that it had entered into a letter of intent with StillCanna, Inc., regarding a possible offer for the Company.
In accordance with Rule 2.4(c) of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, the Offeror was required, pursuant to Rule 2.6(a) of the Code, by 5:00 p.m. on 20 May 2020 (the “relevant deadline”), to either (i) announce a firm intention to make an offer for Sativa in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the Code or (ii) announce that it does not intend to make an offer for Sativa.
In accordance with Rule 2.6(c) of the Code, at the request of the Directors of Sativa, the Panel on Takeovers & Mergers has consented to an extension of the relevant deadline, until 5:00 p.m. on 3 June 2020 to enable the parties to complete the compilation of the necessary information and due diligence required to produce the Scheme Document and the associated Rule 2.7 announcement of a firm intention to make an offer from the Offeror.

This new deadline can be extended with the consent of the Panel in accordance with Rule 2.6(c) of the Code.
