EDMONTON, ALBERTA, CHATHAM, ONTARIO and TEL-AVIV, ISRAEL, March 09, 2023 — Atlas Global Brands Inc. (“Atlas Global” or the “Company”) (CSE: ATL), a cannabis company with expertise across the value chain, announces that it has taken the necessary steps to leverage the combined capabilities across its six businesses following the completion of a business combination, involving Atlas Biotechnologies Inc., AgMedica Bioscience Inc. and Cambrosia Ltd. (“Cambrosia”) and the concurrent acquisition by Cambrosia of a 51% interest in each of Tlalim Pappo Ltd., Pharmacy Baron Ltd., and R.J. Regavim Ventures Ltd. – privately held operating cannabis pharmacies in Israel by reducing its aggregate workforce by approximately 20% and implementing a plan to reduce overlapping third party spending across the group.
