MediPharm Labs' Board Continues Value Destruction for Shareholders with Sale of Hope Facility
Complete Incompetence at the Board Level Results in Fire Sale of Treasured MediPharm Asset, the Hope Facility, to a Competitor Hope Facility was One of Canada's Best Cultivation Assets Before it was Acquired by MediPharm, Grossly Mismanaged, and Ultimately Shut Down in 2024 MediPharm Labs' Board is Pursuing its Worst Deal Yet: A Highly Dilutive NO CASH Sale of the Remaining Company Apollo has a Concrete and Achievable Plan to Drive MediPharm's Share Price from Nearly $0.06 to Over $1.00, Restoring Value to its Loyal Shareholders SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO VOTE THEGOLDCARD 'FOR' APOLLO CAPITAL'S SIX DIRECTOR NOMINEES AND NOT VOTE MEDIPHARM's GREEN CARD TORONTO, June 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apollo Technology Capital Corporation ('Apollo Capital'), one of MediPharm Labs' ('MediPharm') largest investors, warns MediPharm shareholders that the Company's current leadership is continuing its pursuit of value destructive M&A, with the ultimate goal of a non-cash dilutive sale of the entire company. A sale of the Company which would trigger over $5M in change of control and other payments to current management. 'It's a travesty for shareholders to have what is believed to be a $12M asset sold for just $4.5M, likely netting shareholders less than $4M after fees and expenses. Worse still, the acquirer will wisely use the facility to produce cannabis for export that will directly compete with MediPharm in Europe,' says Regan McGee of Apollo Capital. 'Yesterday's fire sale announcement makes it crystal clear that MediPharm's Board has no actual value creation strategy, just a desire to sell off MediPharm's assets at shareholders' expense to keep paying themselves at 500% above market norms. Is MediPharm pursuing growth facilities as a strategy or not? Is the Napanee facility the next fire sale we will see to a competitor?' questions Regan McGee of Apollo Capital. Apollo expects the scaling of MediPharm's Napanee facility to cost shareholders significantly more than what the buyer of the Hope Facility will spend to achieve real profitability. Apollo expects the scaling of MediPharm's Napanee facility to cost between $3 million and $5 million and take 12 to 18 months to generate revenue. Apollo notes MediPharm's management team does not have cultivation experience, which could result in millions of investment dollars needed before it provides a return, if ever. The Hope Facility, formerly known as CannaFarms, was built by the highly respected Laflamme family to be one of the first licensed facilities in Canada. As exceptional visionaries, the Laflamme family built a world-class facility at immense personal cost to service patients in need, including military veterans. After nearly a decade of strong operational success as a positive driver for the community, MediPharm leadership not only failed to realize the value of its acquisition, but handed its assets to a competitor for well below market value. This sale is a tragic outcome for MediPharm shareholders. CEO David Pidduck has sold off MediPharm's Hope. Apollo Capital asks: Apollo Capital has invested significant capital into MediPharm and nominated highly qualified director candidates who can drive the urgent change needed and propel share price over $1.00. For more information, see our strategic five-pillar plan at Apollo urges shareholders to save their investments and vote the GOLD CARD by June 13, 2025.

RBC Capital Reiterated an Outperform Rating on Lyft (LYFT), Assigning a $21 PT
On June 5, RBC Capital analysts maintained an Outperform rating on Lyft, Inc. (NASDAQ:LYFT) with a price target of $21. The analysts mentioned the current rationality in the ride-sharing space, observing identical pricing and pick-up windows for Lyft and Uber, its market rival. Lyft's revenue has demonstrated solid growth over the last year, coming in at 27%. A ridesharing passenger and driver in a car, looking out the window in anticipation of their destination. RBC reported that Lyft, Inc. (NASDAQ:LYFT) is a sector winner year-to-date, ranking fifth overall with an 18% increase, compared to the 1% boost in the Nasdaq. According to the analysts, this performance was driven by Lyft's limited tariff exposure and GenAI concerns, combined with strong execution. Another positive development commended by RBC was Lyft, Inc. (NASDAQ:LYFT)'s autonomous vehicle launch with May Mobility, which is on the horizon. However, the soon-to-be Tesla launch is a potential competitive risk, though analysts commented that a stock selloff related to Tesla was a buying opportunity. The analysts also highlighted Lyft's promising valuation at 7.3x its forecasted 2026 EBITDA. This valuation, paired with the company's tactical plans, was a factor that contributed to RBC's Outperform rating. Lyft, Inc. (NASDAQ:LYFT) is a leading peer-to-peer transportation company operating across the United States and Canada, offering ridesharing, shared bikes/scooters, and Express Drive rentals. While we acknowledge the potential of LYFT as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
