Abba Medix Signs Medical Cannabis Supply Agreement with Franchise Cannabis Corp's wholly owned German subsidiary ACA Müller ADAG Pharma Vertriebs GmbH for the Supply of Products to the European Union

/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

TORONTO, Nov. 25, 2019 /CNW/ - Canada House Wellness Group Inc. (CSE: CHV) ("Canada House" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce its wholly owned subsidiary, Abba Medix Corp. ("Abba"), has entered into a two-year Medical Cannabis Supply Agreement (the "Supply Agreement") with Franchise Cannabis Corp.'s ("Franchise") wholly owned subsidiary, ACA Müller ADAG Pharma Vertriebs GmbH ("ACA Müller"), the first company in Germany licensed to distribute medical cannabis, for the sale and export of a minimum of 200 kg of pharmaceutical-grade EU-GMP cannabis flower into the European Union each year. 

Under the Supply Agreement, Abba will acquire genetics from Europe's first legal registered seed bank. Franchise's collection of genetics consists of over 220 strains, bred by award winning and world-renowned breeder Charles Scott. Mr. Scott has won numerous globally recognized awards including an induction into the High Times Hall of Fame and 19 Cannabis Cups for THC strains such as Love Potion #1, Willie Nelson, and Pink Kush.

All products delivered under the Supply Agreement will be derived from plants grown in Abba's cultivation facility using Franchise's Genetics. At today's exchange rates, the minimum quantity deliverable under the Supply Agreement equates to minimum approximate revenue of $1.2M CAD during each year of the Supply Agreement ($2.4M CAD over the two-year term). Subject to the existing right of first refusal under the supply agreement announced by Abba on October 31, 2019, Franchise will have the first right during the term to purchase all EU-GMP certified products shipped by Abba to the European Union at a set price.

ACA Müller and Abba will begin exports into Germany and other European Union countries upon Abba receiving EU-GMP certification by relevant authorities.  Abba remains on track to obtain EU-GMP Certification in mid-2020.

"Based on multiple visits to Abba's Pickering facility, we feel very confident with the prospect of Abba achieving EU-GMP status during 2020. With only eight EU-GMP Certified facilities in the world this will be a huge accomplishment," said Clifford Starke, Franchise Cannabis's CEO. "We look forward to working with Chris and his team as long term partners for the production and distribution of EU-GMP medicinal cannabis." 

"Establishing this relationship with the first licensed German distributor of medical cannabis is an exciting step for our business in diversifying our distribution into international markets," said Chris Churchill-Smith, CEO of Canada House. "We have now signed high margin European supply agreements with cumulative minimum commitments representing approximately 20 per cent of our near-term annualized internal production, maximizing the profitability from Abba's existing facility. Through this relationship, Abba will benefit from one of the most complete and sought-after genetics collections in the world.  In addition, Abba's Canadian medical cannabis patients will benefit from our ability to offer a wider variety of proven and established high THC medical cannabis strains grown in a craft setting."
