APHRIA SIGNS MOU TO SUPPLY MORE THAN 5,000 KG OF CANNABIS TO BRITISH COLUMBIA'S RETAIL CANNABIS MARKET

Aphria Inc. has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the British Columbia Liquor Distribution Branch (BCLDB) to provide a portfolio of high-quality, branded cannabis and cannabis derivative products for sale in British Columbia's adult-use market.

Under the terms of the MOU, Aphria will supply more than 5,000 kilograms of high-quality cannabis in the first year of the agreement, which will be made available for sale on-line and at licensed retailers across the province. Adult-use consumers will be able to choose from a wide-ranging selection of Ontario and B.C. dried flower, prerolls and cannabis oils from the company's portfolio of adult-use brands.

"We're incredibly proud that the BCLDB has selected our fantastic range of products and brands to be sold at the province's licensed retailers starting on Oct. 17," said Jakob Ripshtein, chief commercial officer at Aphria. "Both long-time enthusiasts and newcomers to cannabis will find that our adult-use brands and products, which include locally grown and celebrated B.C. bud from Broken Coast cannabis, have been thoughtfully developed to meet distinct consumer needs and interests. We are thrilled to provide adult-use consumers in B.C. the opportunity to discover our brands and to help ensure that there is an adequate supply to meet the anticipated demand in the province."

Aphria is continuing to demonstrate its readiness to provide both adequate supply and a deep selection of high-quality products across Canada starting in October. With previously announced supply agreements in Quebec, Manitoba, Alberta and New Brunswick, and a cross-Canada partnership with Great North Distributors, the company is well prepared to meet the anticipated demand in the adult-use market. Aphria is also developing a range of innovative cannabis products that are expected to be made available in B.C. and elsewhere once authorized for sale under the Cannabis Act.

"Aphria has the infrastructure, know-how and capacity to deliver on our commitments to B.C. and across Canada once the opening bell rings," said Vic Neufeld , chief executive officer at Aphria. "Not only are we well prepared, but also we are confident that our thoughtfully researched and developed portfolio of adult-use brands will resonate with consumers. Our company-wide focus on innovation, including our new extraction centre of excellence, will also ensure that Aphria remains on the leading edge of tomorrow's cannabis products that will revolutionize the way consumers integrate cannabis into their lives."
