“We have achieved an important milestone in Portugal with the importation of additional genetics to help us produce a significant harvest in Aljustrel. These 30,000 seeds add to the 13,500 clones that have already been transplanted into the field,” commented Stephen Lermer, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company. “We are extremely pleased thus far with the soil quality and climate at the outdoor site in Aljustrel. Despite the COVID-19 global lock-down we have been able to nonetheless keep pace in Portugal with our participation in one of the largest outdoor medical cannabis cultivation projects in the E.U. We have worked co-operatively with Flowr and our operational teams have moved quickly to take advantage of this year’s opportunity. We have also been very pleased with the interest we have received from global players in the cannabis industry who want to partner with us and help us monetize this significant opportunity.”

Operational Update in Portugal

Flowr, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Holigen Holdings Limited (“Holigen”), has received the requisite import permits from INFARMED, I.P. with respect to the importation of the following high-THC strains:

 

Strain

    % THC  

Gorilla Glue #4

    25%+  

Zkittles

    24%+  

Gelato

    26%  

Wedding Cake

    22%  

KC33

    17%-21%  

Brains Choice

    18-22%  

Spontanica

    17-20%  

Mango

    17-20%

These genetics add to the 13,500 clones that Flowr imported earlier in the year to Holigen. The clones were Pink Kush, OG Tahoe and Louis XIII, each of which are more than 20% in THC. The Pink Kush strains were planted by Flowr outdoors at their Kelowna, British Columbia campus.

The Company and Flowr have already planted approximately 13,500 clones at the outdoor medical cannabis site in Aljustrel, Portugal. In addition, the Company will be sowing approximately 30,000 seeds as outlined above over the course of the next week with the expectation that seedlings will be transplanted in mid-July. The Company is working closely with Flowr and Holigen to ensure the success of this year’s outdoor medical cannabis crop.

The Aljustrel outdoor medical cannabis site is fully licensed for medical cannabis production and it is expected that the partnership with Flowr will enable the Company to process, dry and package all medical cannabis produced at the Alustrel site at Holigen’s GMP facility in Sintra, Portugal, subject to applicable regulatory approvals. The Aljustrel site has been designated a project of national interest by the Portuguese government, a designation that reduces bureaucratic decision-making and allows for expedited regulatory licensing.
