Africa’s first cannabis SPAC listing shows a way forward for nascent industry in South Africa

Cilo Cybin Holdings hopes to raise R2bn ($115m) for the manufacturing of medicinal cannabis in an initial public offer (IPO) on the JSE.

Cilo Cybin Holdings has received the go-ahead to list on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) as Africa’s first cannabis-targeted special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) and hopes to raise R2bn ($115m) for the manufacturing of medicinal cannabis in an initial public offer (IPO) that will remain open till November.

Founded by entrepreneur Gabriel Theron, Cilo Cybin Holdings is expected to draw significant attention from investors as South Africa’s nascent cannabis industry takes a major step toward accessing a much-vaunted global market estimated to be worth $27bn in 2022.

“The first step of the plan with the money raised is to acquire an existing cannabis manufacturing facility and to super-size its capacity,” says Theron. “We want to position ourselves as one of the largest processing hubs for the cannabis industry in Africa.”

Theron expects the global legal cannabis market to be worth $51bn by 2025 and that the companies that will survive in an incredibly complicated and regulated, yet lucrative market, will be the ones that establish strong brands early in the race.

“Medical cannabis is used for the treatment of various chronic conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis, cancer, depression, anxiety, epilepsy, and other neurological conditions. Thus, a wide application scope has led to an increased product demand for the treatment of various chronic conditions,” he says.

SPACs are formed to raise capital through an IPO or to acquire or merge with an existing company. Cilo Cybin’s listing is only the fourth of a SPAC on the continent and the first for a SPAC specializing in cannabis.
