This Year, Texas Passed a Law Legalizing Hemp. It Also Has Prosecutors Dropping Hundreds of Marijuana Cases

TORONTO, July 3, 2019 /CNW/ – PRESS RELEASE – Harvest One Cannabis Inc. and Delivra Corp. have announced that they have completed the previously announced plan of arrangement under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), pursuant to which Harvest One acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Delivra.

“We are delighted to close this transaction and welcome Delivra to the Harvest One team,” said Grant Froese, chief executive officer of Harvest One. “The addition of the LivRelief brand to our existing product portfolio emphasizes our goal of becoming a global leader in the health, wellness and self-care sector. There are significant synergies between both organizations and we expect an expeditious integration. We will look to expand the development of Delivra’s products globally with an expanded reach of the current formulation and new products, including cannabinoid-infused products, when and where legal.”

Dr. Joseph Gabriele, director, chief executive officer and chief scientific officer of Delivra, added, “Harvest One’s health and wellness strategy coupled with their expanding distribution capabilities will ensure that our LivRelief product will reach more people in Canada and beyond. Delivra shareholders showed overwhelming support for this transaction and we look forward to the next stage of our development as part of the Harvest One team as we extend our reach, our offerings and capitalize on markets where CBD infused products are legal.”

Strategic Rationale and Outlook

• Delivra further strengthens Harvest One’s health, wellness and self-care strategy by adding LivRelief to its brand portfolio
• Harvest One will benefit from the formulation expertise of Delivra as it works to create a suite of brands and infused versions of existing brands in the Harvest One portfolio, such as Dream Water
• Delivra will immediately add to Harvest One’s existing distribution network of over 30,000 stores across North America with distribution into Shoppers Drug Mart, Loblaw, Walmart, Rexall, Pharmasave, London Drugs and other major retailers
• Delivra already has two FDA approved products which Harvest One will look to leverage their existing Dream Water retail relationships to start distributing throughout the U.S.
• Gabriele’s expertise as an assistant professor (PT), in the Department of Psychiatry, who collaborates with the MacAnxiety Research Centre and the DeGroote Center for Medicinal Cannabis research, will be a strategic benefit for Harvest One
