CanniMed Therapeutics Inc. Receives Two Export Permits from Health Canada and Initial Purchase Orders for Distribution to Australia and the Cayman Islands

SASKATOON, Saskatchewan–(BUSINESS WIRE)–

CanniMed Therapeutics Inc. (“CanniMed” or the “Company”) (CMED.TO) today announced the receipt, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Prairie Plant Systems Inc., of the Company’s first two Health Canada issued export permits for medical cannabis oils. In addition, the Company has received initial purchase orders for all three CanniMed® Oils for distribution to both Australia and the Cayman Islands for pharmacy dispensing.

“We continue to execute our business plan with today’s milestone announcement, positioning CanniMed as a leading global provider of cannabinoid-based medicines,” said Brent Zettl, President and CEO of the Company. “Our focus on GMP-compliant manufacturing, which includes extensive quality controls, is a standard that international partners are demanding. These initial orders, while small in scale, represent a significant step for the Company and pave the way for what we believe will be a significant distribution channel for our CanniMed oil products.”

These two Health Canada-issued export permits will include all three of the CanniMed® Oil products (CanniMed® Oil 18:0, CanniMed® Oil 10:10 and CanniMed® Oil 1:20). By June 30, 2017, the Company will have shipped 3,600 ml and 12,960 ml of CanniMed® Oils to Australia and the Cayman Islands respectively.

The Company expects to be able to provide additional details with respect to these developing opportunities within the coming weeks.
