WINNIPEG, Manitoba, April 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DELTA 9 CANNABIS INC. (TSX: DN) (OTCQX: DLTNF) (“Delta 9” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that, through its new wholly owned subsidiary Delta 9 Logistics Inc., it has entered into a Limited Cannabis Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries Corporation (“MBLL”) and the Company anticipates becoming one of Manitoba’s first licensed cannabis distributors.

Under the Distribution Agreement, Delta 9 intends to work with authorized cannabis suppliers to provide cross-docking and distribution services, fulfilling delivery of orders to licensed cannabis retailers within the province of Manitoba. The Company’s cross-docking and distribution services will allow out-of-province suppliers to improve logistics efficiencies and reduce shipping costs into the Manitoba market and will provide Delta 9 with additional diversified revenue streams.

“We see Delta 9’s entry into the distribution services space to be the logical next step in the Company’s vertical integration strategy,” said John Arbuthnot, CEO of Delta 9. “Delta 9’s existing relationships with the Canadian cannabis industry’s leading suppliers and centralized warehouse presence in Winnipeg make us the ideal provider of these market services.”

Retail cannabis sales in Manitoba for the twelve months ending September 30, 2021 exceeded $138 Million, according to data from Statistics Canada, with more than 125 licensed retail stores in operation as of December 31, 2021. The Company intends to begin executing distribution agreements with suppliers immediately and anticipates distribution shipments will begin in Q2, 2022.

The Company’s planned launch of distribution services in Manitoba is subject to the receipt of a Distribution License (the “License”) from the Liquor Gaming and Cannabis Authority (“LGCA”).

Embark will be directly supplying retailers in Manitoba with The Hank Co. (“Hank”) Bubble Hash and The Hazel Co. (“Hazel”) Hash Sticks. Embark is also thrilled to be supplying the Distilled + Infused brand of nano-infused THC and CBD Liquid beverage mixes and the luxurious Meridian all-in-one THC and CBD wellness and beauty creams.

“The Embark team is pleased to share that our quality Hank Bubble Hash and Hazel Hash Sticks are available to retailers in the province of Manitoba,” said Bruce Dawson-Scully, CEO of Embark. “We are keen to work directly with local retailers, and are also delighted to be able to supply our newly launched nano infused beverages and topicals.”

Hank is part of Embark’s portfolio of 2.0 solventless line of brands. The Hank Bubble Hash is produced from quality whole flower trichome heads only, resulting in a flavourful experience. Produced through ice water extraction, the result is a light and golden hued, dabbable concentrate. Other concentrate products under the Hank brand, like Hank Pressed Hash, will soon be available to retailers in Manitoba.

Hazel is Embark’s premier brand under its portfolio of 2.0 solventless line. The Hazel Hash Sticks are a unique solventless concentrate for discerning cannabis connoisseurs and those who wish to expand their “go-to” options for concentrates. The hash sticks come in a pre-roll form, hand-crafted into a 1-gram hollow tube, and contains no paper or filter. It can be enjoyed as is, without the use of additional specialized tools such as dab rigs or pens.

Also available to retails are Embark’s newly launched brands that utilize the Embark Nano technology.

Distilled + Infused is Embark’s first product offering in the beverage category and comes in two different SKUs. The initial launch includes the THC-infused Liquid Shot and the CBD-Infused Liquid Shot. Both THC and CBD options are unflavoured, gluten-free and plant-based. They can be mixed with the consumers beverage of choice. Packaged in a convenient “grab and go” option, the CBD and THC shots contain Embark Nano’s proprietary bitter blocking formula, which eliminates any bitter taste typically found in current market offerings.

When combined with your preferred drink, the Liquid Shot results in a clear, translucent blend that does not compromise taste or flavour and requires no stirring. The Distilled + Infused Liquid Shot is ideal for those who desire an alternative to traditional cannabis consumption or beverage alternative to alcoholic beverages.

The luxurious Meridian all-in-one topical cream is available in THC and CBD 1oz and 2oz jar sizes scented with argan and vanilla. The Meridian products are suitable for daily use, paraben-free, scented with organic natural extracts, contain no synthetic perfumes or scents or volatile compounds, and no formaldehyde-releasing preservatives.

Meridian is the first of its kind in the Canadian market, utilizing the Embark Nano delivery technology, which shortens the initial onset time of THC effects and allows for transdermal and rapid systemic absorption. The Meridian cream is ideal for those looking for an all-in-one product with skin care attributes of nourishing hydration in conjunction with health and wellness properties in a topical cream format.
