CannaRoyalty buys right to sell, make infused prerolls

Mr. Marc Lustig reports

CANNAROYALTY ACQUIRES RIGHTS TO INNOVATIVE INFUSED PRE-ROLL BRAND, PACIFIC REMEDY

CannaRoyalty Corp. has acquired the exclusive rights to distribute and manufacture Pacific Remedy LLC's industry-leading infused prerolls in California. The agreement also provides CannaRoyalty with the option to purchase global brand rights for the premium infused preroll manufacturer.

"Brands are true value. Built through real consumer trust. They are our mission," said Marc Lustig, chairman and chief executive officer, CannaRoyalty.

"I founded this company over three years ago with a vision that brands would dominate the future of the cannabis industry. Brands represent the trust relationship formed through repeat sales to, and an ongoing conversation with, a consumer. Most jurisdictions, including our home jurisdiction of Canada, do not yet provide the right conditions for that trust to form. Conversely, I have found that there is no better place in the world than California to create that trust, which is why we are there; building the pre-eminent global cannabis brand growth platform."

Pacific Remedy is a California-based brand founded by Timothy Elze and Jon Rivera. Pacific Remedy's uniquely designed infused prerolls make them a differentiated manufacturer in the premium preroll category. In 2017, Pacific Remedy's products were carried in 13 cannabis dispensaries throughout the Bay area and Southern California. Subsequent to this agreement, Pacific Remedy will be able to sell its premium product through CannaRoyalty's distribution network, which covers the majority of California's approximately 500 licensed dispensaries.

"Working with entrepreneurs like Jon and Timothy is one of the privileges we enjoy as a third party distributor and manufacturer. An authentic passion for the perfect preroll has driven them to build a unique commercial product. The delicate pairing of top-shelf flower sourced from FloraCal Farms (recently acquired), terpene-rich concentrate, innovative 'noodle' filter, handmade craftsmanship and eco-conscious packaging has elevated the 'joint' to a new level. Through this partnership, we are excited to help Pacific Remedy bring this hand-rolled-in-California product statewide. We are proud to call Pacific Remedy, along with almost a dozen other preroll brands on our distribution platform, our partners. Our doors are now officially open to the little guy, and we look forward to partnering with more passionate local California businesses to help bring their industry-leading offerings to the world," commented Afzal Hasan, president and general counsel, CannaRoyalty.

"As budtenders, we were focused on creating a product that offered quality and consistency when it comes to infused prerolls, resulting in a superior experience for our discerning consumers in California," said Timothy Elze, founder of Pacific Remedy. "We are pleased to partner with CannaRoyalty to help share our innovation with the people it was intended for -- consumers across the globe. Their reputation, manufacturing expertise and the breadth of their distribution will be vital assets for us."

With 50.21-per-cent (1) market share and $2.35-billion (1) in sales in 2017, flower is the most popular and largest product segment in Californian dispensaries. Through 2017, prerolls commanded 5.41 per cent (1) of the market, with a steady growth projection. Currently, California has issued over 410 licences (2) for dispensaries since June, 2018, and CannaRoyalty's distributors cover a majority of stores in the state. This agreement will provide medical and recreational markets in California with top shelf prerolls and add to CannaRoyalty's global product portfolio, while giving Pacific Remedy access to an established and trusted partner network to expand their operations.
