AMP GERMAN CANNABIS GROUP COMMENCE TRADING ON THE CSE AND ANNOUNCES INVESTMENT POLICY FOCUSED ON THE EUROPEAN MEDICAL CANNABIS INDUSTRY

AMP German Cannabis Group Inc. has commenced trading of its common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange. The company's common shares were delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange at the close of market on Sept. 3, 2019. The company also announces that it has updated its investment policy to enhance shareholder value from investments in the European medical cannabis industry.

Specifically, the company invests in businesses that supply the German market with European Union -- good manufacturing practices-certified medical cannabis. The company's medical cannabis investment portfolio consists of AMP Alternative Medical Products GmbH, whose business is to purchase EU-GMP-certified medical cannabis from Canada for distribution in Germany, and Alternative Medical Products Switzerland GmbH, whose business is to develop agreements to supply the German market with cannabis cultivated from Switzerland.

AMP Germany

Based in Erfurt, Germany, AMP Germany intends to import EU-GMP-certified cannabis into Germany from licensed producers of cannabis by Health Canada and sell it to pharmaceutical distributors in Germany which supply pharmacies which are permitted to dispense medical cannabis prescribed by German physicians.

EU-GMP certification is an internationally recognized system that ensures pharmaceutical goods, including medical cannabis, meet the highest consumer health and safety standards. All medical cannabis imported into or produced in Germany is regulated by EU-GMP.

Canadian cannabis production and operating standards do not meet EU-GMP standards and must be upgraded to receive EU-GMP certification from a German state before medical cannabis can be imported into Germany. To date, fewer than 10 Canadian LPs have received EU-GMP certification from Germany.

AMP Germany intends to enter into supply agreements with Canadian LPs, pursuant to which each such Canadian LP will go through an EU-GMP certification process to ensure it meets the EU-GMP pharmaceutical quality and consistency standards required to export medical cannabis to Germany. Under the AMP EU-GMP certification program, AMP Germany, in conjunction with its German pharmaceutical consultant, provides EU-GMP gap analysis and audits to the Canadian LP.

Once the Canadian LP passes an audit, AMP Germany arranges for EU-GMP inspection and certification by the applicable state authorities in Germany. Following EU-GMP certification, AMP will arrange for the necessary permits and provide logistics, transportation and other related services to import medical cannabis from Canada into Germany.

AMP Germany has entered into a memorandum of understanding with one party and is in discussions for further agreements for the purchase of EU-GMP-certified cannabis for import into Germany from Canada with several potential partners, including Canadian LPs and early and late-stage applicants to become a Canadian LP. AMP Germany anticipates entering into supply contracts with Canadian LPs during 2019, and with early and late-stage applicants to become Canadian LPs in 2020.

AMP Switzerland

AMP Switzerland is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company based in Zug, Switzerland, and its business is to develop agreements for the supply of cannabis cultivated in Switzerland and to import cannabis into Germany once applicable laws permit such transactions. In Switzerland, it is legal to cultivate cannabis with less than 1.0 per cent THC (tetrahydrocannabinol).

Non-core investments

The company is liquidating its investment portfolio under its former investment policy and investing the proceeds in the European medial cannabis industry under its new investment policy. The company held $1.6-million in non-core investments as of June 30, 2019 (unaudited).

Management quotes

Alex Blodgett, chief executive officer of AMP, commented: "AMP's current European investments in the medical cannabis industry have been made to supply Germany with EU-GMP cannabis which has been forecasted to be a $9-billion market by 2028. AMP is the only listed company that focuses solely on supplying Germany with EU-GMP medical cannabis."

Dr. Stefan Feuerstein, managing director of AMP Germany, commented: "AMP Germany plans to be a significant importer of EU-GMP cannabis to Germany from Canada. Canada has become the second-largest supplier of EU-GMP cannabis to Germany since legalization of medical cannabis in 2017."

Claudio Morandi, managing director of AMP Switzerland, commented: "It is legal to cultivate cannabis with THC less than 1.0 per cent in Switzerland, which has created an emerging cannabis industry. AMP Switzerland is developing sources of nutraceutical and EU-GMP cannabis for export to Germany once applicable laws permit such transactions."
