Canopy Growth Corporation (“Canopy Growth” or the “Company”)
(TSX:WEED, NYSE:CGC) and MediPharm Labs Inc. (“MediPharm”), a
specialized cannabis extraction business licensed under the
Cannabis Act, and a wholly owned subsidiary of MediPharm Labs Corp.
(TSXV:LABS) (together, the “Companies”) have entered into a
strategic supply agreement dated November 29, 2018.
Under the 18-month agreement, MediPharm will supply up to 900kg
of cannabis extract for sale to Canopy Growth and its subsidiaries.
Canopy Growth has committed to purchasing a minimum of 450kg with
an option to purchase an additional 450kg.
“As the industry matures we are seeing exciting businesses like
MediPharm establish specialized skill sets that will drive the
industry forward. Extraction is now and will continue to be an
opportunity to develop expertise and IP,” said Bruce Linton,
Chairman & Co-CEO, Canopy Growth. “We continue to develop our
own capacity in this area and are pleased to work with MediPharm, a
leading team that has demonstrated it shares this vision.”
Management of both Companies agree that today’s announcement
demonstrates a meaningful increase in total supply in the market
and continue to believe that licensed capacity across Canada is
capable of meeting the needs of the Canadian recreational and
medical markets. This agreement will establish an early-mover
advantage for both Companies to meet an immediate and unmet need
across the country for value-add products such as Softgels.
“We are thrilled to work with Canopy Growth, the world’s leading
cannabis producer, to deliver the highest quality cannabis oil
concentrates for medical patients and recreational consumers,” said
Pat McCutcheon, MediPharm Labs, President and Chief Executive
Officer. “This sales agreement serves as a strong endorsement of
MediPharm’s industry leading extraction-only business model.”
The ability to concentrate and stabilize cannabinoids in extract
adds stability to the supply chain and increases options on future
supply fluctuation as consumer preferences evolve. This is a nimble
model that benefits both parties and Canadian consumers. As
MediPharm finalizes its GMP certification, Canopy Growth will
explore export opportunities as a part of this strategic
agreement.
Here’s to Future Growth.
