Analysis · IMCC · Life Sciences
The June 18 non-binding letter of intent has now been converted into a definitive share purchase agreement, under which IM Cannabis will sell its European-focused assets to Slil.com Holding Ltd., a company controlled by CEO Oren Shuster. This related party transaction transfers IMC Holdings—which holds Adjupharm GmbH, Xinteza API Ltd., and Shiran Societe Anonyme—to Slil in exchange for a C$3.0 million advance payment already received and Slil's assumption of up to C$9.4 million in retained liabilities. The company expects the deal to improve shareholders' equity by approximately C$3.0 million and reduce debt, offering much-needed relief given the going concern doubts and Nasdaq delisting risk disclosed just days ago. However, the related party nature and reliance on financial hardship exemptions under MI 61-101 raise governance concerns, and the transaction must close by September 30, 2026.
