On April 24, 2020, Tidal Royalty Corp. completed a business combination with MichiCann Medical Inc. to continue as Red White & Bloom Brands Inc. (“RWB”), forming a multi-state cannabis operator that holds a hemp production facility in Illinois and the right to acquire an investee that is operating a vertically integrated cultivation, production and retail business in Michigan.
