True Leaf Brands Inc (CSE:MJ) (OTCPINK:TRLFF) (FRA:TLA) said Tuesday that it has obtained approval from the British Columbia Supreme Court to finalize its refinancing and restructuring process.
True Leaf recently struck a deal with financial backers Canguard Entities to sell its businesses, which include True Leaf Cannabis Inc, True Leaf Brands and True Leaf Investments Corp, after they emerge from their respective proposal proceedings.
In a statement, the Vernon, BC-based company said that the approval brings it closer to emerging from creditor protection.
