Update on Medicinal Cannabis RTO

Further to the updates announced on 2 December 2019 and 21 January 2020 regarding the proposed reverse take-over of medicinal cannabis company, Kanabo Research Ltd ("Kanabo") (the "RTO" or the "Proposed Acquisition"), Spinnaker advises that Kanabo and the Company have continued to work towards satisfaction of the conditions for completion of the Proposed Acquisition.

From the Company's perspective it believes it is now almost ready to proceed, upon UK regulatory approval being confirmed. Following the UK legalising the prescription of medicinal cannabis in November 2018, Kanabo and the Company have positioned themselves to be one of the first cannabis-related businesses to list on the London Stock Exchange. However, until all conditions are satisfied and the overall listing requirements for cannabis-related companies are confirmed by the appropriate UK regulatory bodies, there can be no certainty that the transaction will proceed.

The full terms of the Proposed Acquisition are expected to be set out in a prospectus to be published in due course.
