Icanic Brands Company Inc. ICNAF ICAN announced that the Canadian Securities Exchange has granted the company approval to change its corporate name to Leef Brands Inc. In connection with the name change, the company’s common shares will trade under the new trading symbol, “LEEF” as of December 7th, 2022. The company’s new CUSIP is 52426X104 and its new ISIN is CA52426X1042.
”We are extremely excited to announce the rebrand of Icanic to Leef Brands Inc., which marks the final piece of the combination of Leef Holdings and Icanic. As we continue to execute our corporate strategy, we wanted to ensure that our name and identity accurately represents our core ethos and our focus going forward. Leef represents a vision, strategy, culture and set of core values that I have employed since founding Leef Holdings and I intend to use these principles to take our company to the next chapter of its success,” stated Micah Anderson, CEO of Leef.
“The name change will also allow us to streamline the company’s marketing and branding synergies, as well as further promote our culture and what we represent in the cannabis industry. Above all, the Leef brand and logo have been part of my corporate identity since starting in the cannabis industry over 26 years ago and I felt it was very important that our company inherit the strong brand recognition and respect that comes with the Leef name,” added Anderson.
Strategic Corporate Update
To date, the company has derived approximately 80% of its revenue by providing its products and services to the cannabis brands in California. Going forward, while the company will continue to provide these white labeling services, it will aim to significantly improve its margins by increasingly utilizing its robust supply chain and enhanced manufacturing capabilities toward its own internally branded products. This will be furthered through a targeted M&A approach that will focus on the acquisition of brands that will greatly benefit from the Leef in-house manufacturing capabilities. The company’s long-term objective is for approximately 50% of its revenue to be derived from a portfolio of in-house brands.
In addition to focusing on its internal brands, the company is also intent on leveraging its manufacturing skill set and brand recognition to enter new markets by partnering with out of state manufacturing companies through licensing agreements or by way of M&A. This strategy will allow Leef to upgrade the processes and procedures of partnering companies, while also enabling Leef to launch its brand portfolio and other clients’ brands into these new markets.
