“The team at HANF have built an impressive brand and base of retail stores in Germany and Luxembourg with significant growth potential. They posted over $3,000,000 CDN in sales last year alone,” said Shawn Moniz, CEO of EuroLife. “We have the opportunity to acquire the company in its early stages and aggressively grow its footprint across Europe together with other EuroLife Brand assets over the next two to three years. While Europe is currently experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic, the HANF retail locations have remained opened as an essential service, and CWE has experienced ongoing sales for its health and wellness products.

“We are extremely excited to join the EuroLife team, and build HANF into one of the largest retail brands in Germany and other European countries by increasing the number of stores significantly in the coming two years. We intend to make HANF continue as one of the leading and most recognized Health and Wellness CBD brands in Germany, the largest economy in Europe,” said Joern Follmer, CEO of HANF. “We are fortunate that our stores are an essential service during this COVID-19 outbreak. We remain open to serve the public in a safe and sanitary way. Our outlook is positive on the health of our business and of our customers. We are seeing a change in consumer behaviour towards healthy food choices, most likely due to what the world is experiencing during this pandemic. We are seeing a growing interest in, and acceptance of, healthy and organic hemp-based products for a healthy lifestyle.”

HANF Management

Wenzel Cerveny, Managing Director, a seasoned restaurant owner and event organizer after an apprenticeship with Hilton Hotels, spent most of his career in the hospitality industry. Since 2012 through his activism as a spokesman for the legalization of Cannabis in Germany he became one of the most visible and prevalent activists for Medical Cannabis in Germany. In 2017 he founded the first HANF retail store in Munich.

Jöern Follmer, CEO of CWE, as co-founder of DCI GmbH (the German subsidiary of CWE), Jöern has been consulting with Wenzel since they met in 2016 on the campaign trail. Jöern is a serial entrepreneur that has sold his company to a NASDAQ firm in 1999, built up another company to take it public at the Deutsche Börse in 2005 and since 2008 has become an investment banker who has since then taken public more than 40 companies. Jöern studied Business Administration in Germany at Universität Bamberg and was awarded an M.B.A. degree in 1991 from TCU, Ft. Worth, TX, USA.

The German Cannabis Market

Statistics regarding the current number of German medical cannabis patients are not publicly available; however, online sources suggest there are more than 60,000 patients currently enrolled in the German program. The recently published “Germany Cannabis Report,” authored by Prohibition Partners, predicts the number of patients in Germany could increase to over 1 million by 2024. The report also suggests the aggregate market value for German medical cannabis has the potential to grow from 73 million euros in 2018 to over 7.5 billion euros in 2028. Adult recreational consumption and production of cannabis is currently not allowed in Germany and other parts of Europe, but Prohibition Partners reports cannabis legalization to be gaining support and when eventually passed will bring the combined German cannabis market to an estimated 16.2 billion euros in size by 2028.

A key driver of the cannabis market in Germany is the country’s German health care system. The public health care system covers up to 5 ounces of cannabis medication per medical user per month, including cannabis flower, oils, and pharmaceutical products (Sativex, Nabilone and Dronabinol).
