CannaRoyalty Corp (OTCMKTS:ORHOF) Climbing Back Up The Charts

CannaRoyalty Corp (OTCMKTS:ORHOF) is a stock that keeps rewarding dip buyers. Shares are up over 50% off the December lows. Considering the strong start to the New Year for many cannabis names, the run in ORHOF could just be starting. ORHOF Daily ChartBackgroundCannaRoyalty is also known as Origin House. ORHOF is a growing cannabis product and brands company operating across key markets in the U.S. and Canada, with a strategic focus on becoming a preeminent global house of cannabis brands. The Company's foundation is in California, the world's largest regulated cannabis market, where it delivers over 130 branded cannabis products to the majority of licensed dispensaries. Its brand development platform is operated out of five licensed facilities located across California and provides distribution, manufacturing, cultivation and marketing services for its brand partners. The Company is actively developing infrastructure to support the proliferation of its brands internationally, initially through its acquisition of Canadian retailer 180 Smoke.Takeover potentialThe one thing the company, its management, and major shareholders are concerned about is a hostile takeover attempt. There are many cannabis companies sitting on a high market cap, but lack brands and a significant business behind that paper. ORHOF is aware of this and wants to protect what the company has built. In order to protect ORHOF, shareholders representing approximately 26% of the common shares of the Company on a fully-diluted basis have entered into voluntary voting support agreements with the Company, in support of its vision, strategic direction and business plan.In recent months, Origin House was approached by several public cannabis companies contemplating stock-based offers to acquire the Company. To date, these approaches have not culminated in transaction terms that recognize the long-term value of Origin House. Accordingly, in the estimation of management, there is a growing risk of hostile takeover activity with respect to the Company's shares. The Support Agreements were prepared in consultation with the Company's legal and strategic advisors to protect shareholders from coercive activity. The Support Agreements were executed by 100% of shareholders who were approached, including the Company's CEO, Marc Lustig, its President and General Counsel, Afzal Hasan, all members of the Company's Board of Directors, as well as shareholders from the acquired companies that form the core of Origin House's business: Alta, Kaya, RVR, FloraCal and 180 Smoke.Q3 resultsThird-quarter results were very impressive.
