Creso Pharma Limited (ASX: “CPH”, the “Company” or “Creso”) is pleased to announce it has signed a three-year supply agreement with TerrAscend Canada, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TerrAscend Corp., (CSE: TER; OTCQX: TRSSF) (“TerrAscend”) to provide its premium cannabis product to help meet the significant consumer demand driven by Canada’s federal legalisation of cannabis in October 2018.

Under the terms of the Supply Agreement, Creso has agreed to sell and TerrAscend has agreed to purchase a minimum of 100 kgs of cannabis flower per month from Creso from the date that Creso is licensed to sell cannabis under Canadian laws. Pricing is determined on a sliding scale depending on the grade/quality of the flower and also whether the flower has been grown to a GMP standard.

Said John Griese, Creso Chief Operating Officer: “Creso is ticking off each step in its strategic plan and quietly building a diverse global enterprise. Few cannabis companies are currently commercial in countries across Europe and even less have established proprietary branded products such as Creso’s CBD based Nutraceuticals cannaQIX® and anibidiol® in human and animal health.

“As a result of supply agreements like the one with TerrAscend, Creso now enters the Canadian market place with committed revenues from product destined for the legal cannabis markets.”

Creso has recently completed a greenfield, state-of-the-art build of their Windsor Nova Scotia cultivation facility. The building is built to GMP standard and designed to operate at the peak of efficiency. The 24,000 square foot facility is on a land parcel capable of expanding to 200,000 square foot of grow space. It currently accommodates a two-tier grow room structure, with the capacity to yield in excess of 4,000 kgs of cannabis annually. The facility is well positioned to supply material B2B as well as direct to retail.

Creso recently announced its upcoming listing on the TSX-V. With no significant debt, any funds raised can assist further commercial expansion of its human and animal CBD products. The raise will also fund the phase two expansion of value-added production in Windsor Nova Scotia to support the imminent regulations of infused edible products.

“We are pleased to be working with Creso given their expertise in cultivation, propagation and product development. Creso’s state-of-the-art production facility makes them an ideal partner to support TerrAscend’s growth trajectory and commitment to the best-in-class products and formulations,” commented Dr. Michael Nashat, Chief Executive Officer of TerrAscend.

Said Dr. Miri Halperin Wernli, Creso’s CEO and Co-Founder: “This agreement is the result of a long history of positive conversations with TerrAscend. We believe our missions are complimentary and that opportunity beyond supply will strengthen both organisations. Confirming revenues for our dried flower supports a successful entrance into the Canadian cannabis space. ”
