VANCOUVER, March 30, 2017 /CNW/ - INVICTUS MD STRATEGIES CORP. ("Invictus MD" or the "Company") (CSE: IMH; OTC: IVITF; FRA: 8IS) announces that OptionCo has received its license to cultivate under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations ("ACMPR") as Acreage Pharms Ltd.

"This is a historic day for our Company, our sector and investors," said Dan Kriznic, Chairman & CEO, Invictus MD. "We are Canada's Cannabis Company. We now have 250 acres of cultivation space that stretches from Alberta to Ontario. Alberta has low cost of production as a result of low energy and water costs. The property is friendly to building as many square feet as required based on the significant demand. The CEO of Acreage Pharms is a serial entrepreneur and has been successful in previous ventures. He will be a key addition to the Invictus MD team. As one of the few cannabis producing companies in North America approved under the ACMPR this will enable us to engage and satisfy a wider investor audience, strengthening the sector and bring Invictus MD to international institutional investors." 

The Company now has 30 days to exercise its option under the definitive option agreement. The terms of this agreement include an issuance of 21 million shares of the Company, $4 million in cash to the current shareholders of Acreage Pharms and 3 million warrants exercisable at $1.50 per share. The Company has also committed $6 million from its treasury for building expansion at Acreage Pharms. The expansion includes a 30,000 square foot floor plate plus mezzanine within the existing 60,000 square foot secured perimeter located on the 150 acres in Edson, Alberta.
