BevCanna provided updates on the following:

• The Company announced the landmark proposed acquisition of established beverage manufacturer and BevCanna partner Naturo Group Investments Inc. (“Naturo”). The proposed combination will create the only fully licensed white-label beverage manufacturing and distribution company with the capability to manufacture and distribute both CPG and cannabis-based beverages, with a global multi-channel distribution network of traditional retail and cannabis sales channels.

• Naturo brings over C$35M in assets, including the 40,000 sq. ft. beverage facility, 315-acres of cultivatable land valued at C$10.4M, beverage manufacturing equipment valued C$3.4M as of year-end and Naturo’s exclusive onsite alkaline spring water source, independently valued at C$18M. Naturo’s latest independent estimate of enterprise value is C$38M-C$42 (February 2020).

• Naturo also brings the nationally distributed Naturo flagship brand, TRACE, which currently enjoys a leadership position within the Canadian fulvic/humic plant-based functional mineral category and is sold in more than 3,000 Canadian retail stores, with select international agreements and partnerships under review.

• The agreement will eliminate future payment liabilities under BevCanna’s current lease agreement, royalty agreement and manufacturing agreements with Naturo. These eliminated agreements and fees will preserve future working capital and allow BevCanna to direct more resources towards its operations and shareholder value.

• The proposed company will combine the decades of consumer-packaged goods (“CPG”), capital markets, corporate strategy and public company expertise of both operational teams.

• Recent developments and initiatives related to Pure Therapy, BevCanna’s U.S. natural health and wellness direct to consumer e-commerce operation.

• The Company’s commercialization plans for the launch of the award-winning Keef and Cali-Bloom cannabis brands in the Canadian market, as well as the Company’s white-label operations, in anticipation of the imminent receipt of BevCanna’s Standard Processing License (SPL). The SPL is in the final review stage and the Company is in active discussions with Health Canada.
