MGC Pharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX:MXC) (OTCMKTS:MGCLF) has signed a binding term sheet with one of Israel’s leading cannabis brands for the exclusive wholesale import, sales and distribution of CannEpil® in Israel.
The agreement with IM Cannabis Corp (CNSX:IMCC) (OTCMKTS:IMCNF), which is one of the pioneers of the Israeli industry and has operations in Europe, is for a period of five years.
It will also see CannEpil® imported for a phase IIb clinical trial, which is due to begin next quarter following Israel Ministry of Health final approvals.
