Vancouver, British Columbia / TheNewswire / May 10 , 2019 - AREV Brands International Ltd. ("AREV" or the "Buyer" ) ( CSE - AREV ), is pleased to announce Donald Shaxon has been appointed President of the Company.

As AREV continues its growth into California and assesses international opportunities in Columbia, Pananma, Africa and Asia the board has determined the company will be represented better by appointing Mr. Don Saxon as President of the company. Effective May 10, 2019, Donald Shaxon will assume his role as President of AREV Brands International Ltd. where he can focus on the Canadian initiatives and Mike Withrow will continue as CEO of the company and focus on the company's International initiatives and will assist Mr. Shaxon and Mr. Job in transitioning to their new respective executive roles with AREV.

Mr. Shaxon is a capital markets professional with 20+ year's experience leading corporate development and finance initiatives in the natural resource, technology and life sciences sectors. Mr. Shaxon was an early pioneer in the legal cannabis market place under the old MMAR as well as 10 years of consulting experience with the top tier of MMJ public companies in Canada and the USA, such as Cannabis Science, Aurora, THC Biomed, Redecan, and Lexaria. Mr. Shaxon was founder of AAA Heidelberg, which partnered with Canopy Growth, and was recently sold to AgraFlora Organics and has raised millions of dollars in the sector.

Mr. Shaxon is also the majority shareholder of Thor Pharma, which is a late stage ACMPR application located in Ontario.

Due to a conflict with another employer, Catalyst X Media Corp. will be unable to be the Investor Relations for the Company. We continue to have Investor relations based in Vancouver, Montreal and NY.

Mr. Withrow stated, "We are continuing to grow and when we have the opportunity to add good people we make room for them so they can perform.
