Namaste Announces Medical Cannabis Supply Agreement With Leading Jamaican Producer Marigold


VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Namaste Technologies Inc. ("Namaste" or the "Company") (CSE:N) (FRANKFURT:M5BQ) (OTCMKTS:NXTTF) is pleased to announce that it has signed a Medical Cannabis Supply Agreement (the "Supply Agreement") with Marigold Projects Jamaica Ltd. ("Marigold") under its wholly owned subsidiary, Cannmart Inc. ("Cannmart"), whereby Marigold will supply Cannmart with high quality Jamaican produced medical cannabis, to be imported by Cannmart from Jamaica and offered in the Company's online marketplace, subject to approval by Health Canada and the Cannabis Licencing Authority. This Supply Agreement further supports Namaste's vision of creating a diverse platform for medical patients to access high quality cannabis, sourced from both domestic and international producers.

Key Terms of the Supply Agreement:

The Supply Agreement with Marigold exemplifies a major component of Namaste's strategy in providing Canadian patients with access to high-quality imported medical cannabis. Marigold's strong management team and extensive experience in cultivation will add significant value to Cannmart's product offering. The Company anticipates strong demand for imported medical cannabis products and looks forward to further developing a relationship with Marigold and its management team.

Management Commentary

Clifford Starke, Chairman of Marigold comments: "Sean and his team have created a leading global web platform in the cannabis accessories industry. Now with an ACMPR production license in hand and the release of the NamasteMD app, we expect Namaste to further disrupt the cannabis industry using their innovative approach to product marketing. As Marigold enters its growth phase, weeks away from first commercial harvest, we look forward to becoming a trusted supplier of premium medicinal cannabis products to Namaste's customer base. We are thrilled to work with Namaste and look forward to further developing this strategic partnership in step with the legalization of medical cannabis worldwide."

Sean Dollinger, President and CEO of Namaste comments: "We are very pleased to announce this Supply Agreement with Marigold as we look to expand our product offering through Cannmart. The importation of medical cannabis will serve as a strong niche for Namaste in the Canadian marketplace. We believe this strategy will help set Namaste apart from its competitors.  Although Cannmart's patients will have access to some of the highest quality medical cannabis sourced from domestic licensed producers, we feel that there is major value in providing our patients with premium quality imported products as well. We thank Marigold's management team for working with us to prepare the Supply Agreement and we anticipate a long-term mutually beneficial relationship with them. Having recently received our ACMPR medical cannabis production license for Cannmart, we're looking forward to exploring new opportunities in this exciting industry."
