CEO of DionyMed cannabis company leaves amid possible default

Toronto-based DionyMed, a multistate marijuana brands operator, is under pressure after key executives stepped down amid a possible credit default.

CEO Edward Fields and Mark Zinselmeier, the chief operating officer, resigned from the company, which has businesses in states including California and Nevada.

DionyMed received a notice of default under an existing credit agreement demanding immediate payment of $24.8 million plus any additional interest, fees and expenses.

In March, DionyMed agreed to buy a Los Angeles cannabis campus complex for $19 million.

The company also has been involved in protracted lawsuit disputes with delivery company Eaze Solutions.

DionyMed trades on the Canadian Securities Exchange as DYME.
