NEW YORK and TORONTO and HERZLIYA, Israel, April 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Subversive Acquisition LP (TSX: SVX.U, OTCQX: SBVRF) (“SVX”) a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), today announced the close of its qualifying transaction to combine with InterCure Ltd.

Canndoc has an EBITDA annualized run rate of greater than US$10 million and positive free cash flow. Furthermore, we believe that Canndoc is well-positioned to capitalize on the adult-use market in Israel, which is expected to be legalized in 2021 or 2022.
