Canopy Rivers Inc. (“Canopy Rivers” or the “Company“) (TSXV: RIV) (OTC: CNPOF) congratulates its portfolio company TerrAscend Corp. (“TerrAscend“) (CSE: TER) (OTCQX: TRSSF) on its announcement today that it has received an amendment to its licence from Health Canada allowing for the sale of cannabis oils from its facility in Mississauga, Ontario. Sales of TerrAscend’s cannabis oils are set to begin immediately through its medical marketplace, Solace Health. This news comes two months following TerrAscend’s announcement that it had been issued a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certificate in accordance with the rules governing medical products in the European Union, in conjunction with establishing a sales and distribution agreement with iuvo Therapeutics GmbH, a German pharmaceutical wholesaler.
“With another key milestone achieved by TerrAscend in a matter of a few short months, the company continues to demonstrate its ambition to become a global provider of pharmaceutical-grade cannabis products,” said Narbe Alexandrian, President and CEO of Canopy Rivers. “Cannabis oil is gaining popularity in Canada, the US and in other emerging global medical markets, and this sales licence enables TerrAscend to meet growing demand for non-combustible cannabis products.”
In October 2018, to accommodate TerrAscend’s strategic pursuits internationally, including select opportunities in the United States, Canopy Rivers agreed to restructure its investment and waive certain restrictive covenants that were granted by TerrAscend, in connection with its original investment.
