OAKVILLE, Ontario, Nov. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTC: NUGS) (“NUGS” or the “Company”) today announced that it has closed the transaction under the stock purchase agreement with Scopien Technologies Inc. (“Scopien”), a sovereign AI platform company based in Oakville, Ontario. With the closing, Scopien now holds voting control of the Company through the Company’s Series B Super Voting Preferred Stock.
Management and Board Changes
In connection with the change of control, Zameer Mulla has been appointed President, Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer, Secretary and a director of the Company, and Richard C. Hawkins has resigned from all officer and director positions. The Company expects to add independent directors as it moves toward SEC reporting status.
Audit and Registration Statement
The Company intends to engage a PCAOB-registered independent auditor to audit the financial statements of the Company and Scopien’s operating business. Because Scopien is the operating business, its financial statements will form the historical financial statements of the combined company. The parties have agreed to use their best efforts to complete the audit and file a registration statement with the SEC within six months of the change of control. Filing the registration statement is the first step toward SEC reporting status and an eventual application to list on a national securities exchange.
Name and Symbol Change
The Company has changed its corporate name to Scopien Technologies Inc. with the Nevada Secretary of State and is preparing its submission to FINRA to complete the name change and a new trading symbol. The Company will provide an update once all documentation has been submitted to FINRA, and will continue to report progress as each step is completed.
“We are excited to take this first big step into the public markets,” said Zameer Mulla, Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Scopien. “Becoming a public company gives us the platform to expand Scopien, grow our sales and partner channels, and bring sovereign AI to more businesses and governments. Our focus now is completing the audit and the registration statement, and we look forward to keeping shareholders updated as we build.”
Court Custodianship
This is the first strategic transaction for the Company since its court-supervised restoration, which was completed in April 2026. Total reported liabilities were approximately $491,000 at September 30, 2026, and all legacy Series C Preferred Stock has been cancelled.
