("NGC" or "The Company"), the first privately-owned Canadian licensed producer of cannabis to have EU GMP certification, is pleased to share this update on initiatives with expansion into the global market.

Northern Green Global GmbH

NGC has successfully incorporated Northern Green Global GmbH ("NGG") in Unterschleißheim, Germany. Under the leadership of NGG's CEO Dr. Aslihan Akkar-Schenkl, NGG is now established as NGC's global pharmaceutical operation.

NGG CEO Dr. Aslihan Akkar-Schenkl comments, "Northern Green Global serves the mission of Northern Green Canada in providing cannabinoid medicines to global markets.

She continues, "Apart from providing pharmaceutical cannabis, our team of experienced pharmacists will focus on the development of cannabinoid formulations for chronic diseases."

NGC has engaged the Frankfurt office of Bird & Bird LLP (Dr. Kai Kerger and Dr. Niels Lutzho?ft) to guide the operation through the process of establishing the global expansion of NGG with their proven experience in the cannabis market.

Supply agreements are in the final stages of completion in the U.K., Poland, Denmark, Portugal, Australia and New Zealand. These exports will be completed in and after Q4 2020. Exports have been shipped for sale into the LATAM with an ongoing supply agreement for global oil distribution.
