TORONTO, May 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Aleafia Health Inc. (TSX: AH, OTCQX: ALEAF) (“Aleafia Health” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Canabo Medical Corporation (“Canabo”) and GrowWise Health Limited (“GrowWise”), (together the “Vendors”) have closed a transaction (the “Transaction”) with Myconic Capital Corp. (CSE: MEDI) (“Myconic”) whereby the Vendors sold certain of their respective clinic assets to Myconic. Additionally, Canabo has agreed to continue to staff and generally operate the clinics for the benefit of Myconic for a period of ten years, through a Clinic Services and License Agreement (the “Services Agreement”) between Canabo and Myconic, ensuring that there will be no interruption to medical services offered to existing patients.

Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, the Vendors sold to Myconic certain clinic leases, inventory, equipment and contracts, all relating to clinic operations (which excludes all patient records) (collectively the “Purchased Assets”).

As consideration for the Purchased Assets, Canabo and GrowWise were issued and delivered an aggregate of 7,000,000 common shares in the capital of Myconic, issued at an issue price of $1.50 per share, in satisfaction of a purchase price of $10.5 million, (the “Consideration Shares”) on the closing of the Transaction. The Consideration Shares are subject to a contractual lockup whereby the Consideration Shares will be released and become freely tradeable in several tranches over a period of 12 months following closing. No finder’s fees are payable as a result of the Transaction.

As previously announced due to the COVID-19 pandemic, since March 2020 the Company’s clinic network has conducted 100 per cent of cannabis patient consultations virtually and will continue to provide best-in-class cannabinoid therapy to patients under the virtual-only model through the clinics and other Purchased Assets licensed from Myconic.

Under the Services Agreement, Canabo will provide such services as are necessary to maintain the operation of the Clinics in respect of medical cannabinoid education, therapy and treatment substantially consistent with past practice (the “Services”). Canabo will pay Myconic a licensing fee for the use of the Purchased Assets in connection with the Services as it will retain certain third party revenue generated from the performance of the Services. Additionally, Canabo will receive a fee from Myconic for performing the Services.

Myconic intends to expand the services offered at the purchased clinics to include a broader scope of mental health treatments, including ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.

In addition, Aleafia Health and Myconic have entered into a nomination rights agreement, which provides Aleafia with, among other things, the right to nominate or appoint one of the five members of Myconic’s board of directors following closing (subject to customary eligibility criteria, applicable securities laws and stock exchange rules) and will be entitled to exercise this right at each of annual meetings of shareholders provided it (or its affiliates) continues to own, control or direct at least 1,000,000 common shares of Myconic.

Wholly-Owned German Subsidiary Developed THC Testkits In-House to Help Pharmacists Identify Medical Cannabis

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AgraFlora Organics International Inc. (“AgraFlora” or the “Company”) (CSE: AGRA) (Frankfurt: PU31) (OTCPK: AGFAF) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Farmako GmbH (“Farmako”) – a GDP certified pharmaceutical wholesaler with a focus on the cannabinoid therapy – has begun supplying STADAPHARM GmbH (“STADAPHARM”) with its proprietary THC Testkits (the “THC Testkits”). The THC Testkits were developed and produced by Farmako in-house and will be supplied to STADAPHARM as a tool for pharmacists to detect THC and identify medical cannabis flowers and extracts in an easy, quick and cost-efficient way.

STADAPHARM, which is responsible for the Specialty Pharmaceuticals business within the STADA Group, will be entering the medical cannabis market in the second quarter of 2021. The company will launch its own THC-containing cannabis flower products and extracts and will also offer the THC Testkits, developed and produced by Farmako, along with its own products to pharmacists for the identity testing of medical cannabis.

“Katrin and everyone at Farmako continue to demonstrate their ingenuity and passion for the cannabis industry in Germany. I am very proud of the team and commend their efforts to develop the THC Testkit in-house, obtain patent protection, bring it to market and secure the supply agreement with STADAPHARM,” said Elise Coppens, Chief Executive Officer and Director of AgraFlora.

“Discussion in the German cannabis market often circles around the high barriers for patients, suppliers, doctors and pharmacists. Therefore, we as Farmako want to facilitate easier access to cannabinoid therapy for patients with a high burden of suffering via fair prices, reliable supply and efficient service for healthcare professionals. For us, cooperation is an important element of competition, only in this way can we develop the market for the benefit of patients. Therefore, we are very happy about this partnership with STADAPHARM, a highly renowned pharma corporation,” commented Katrin Eckmans, CEO of Farmako GmbH.

Farmako has been supplying THC Testkits to pharmacies since December 2020. The THC Testkit, for which Farmako holds patent protection, facilitates identity testing of cannabis in only five minutes, without the need for further auxiliary devices or expensive reference substances – thus offering a better alternative to the time-consuming and costly thin layer chromatography method of identity testing pharmaceutical ingredients or medicines containing THC. Further, the THC Testkit has been validated by the German testing laboratory DSI-pharm, Quality Services International GmbH, regarding its specificity for the purpose of identifying cannabis flowers and extracts according to German Pharmacopoeia.

Farmako has been active as reliable supplier of medical cannabis flowers since beginning of 2019. In Q4 2020 the product portfolio was enhanced by pharma-grade CBD isolate (GMP) as well as the THC TestKit and IMC cannabis flowers. In the second quarter of 2021, Farmako will further complement its product range by offering its own high THC cannabis extracts at a fair price. In this way, Farmako takes root as a supplier with a comprehensive portfolio in the medical cannabis market and continues to present itself as reliable partner for the retail and wholesale market.
