VANCOUVER, Oct. 29, 2018 /CNW/ - Namaste Technologies Inc. ("Namaste" or the "Company") (TSXV: N) (FRANKFURT: M5BQ) (OTCMKTS: NXTTF) is pleased to announce that the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Cannmart Inc. ("Cannmart"), has signed a medical cannabis supply agreement (the "Agreement") with RMMI Corp.'s (CSE: RMMI) wholly-owned subsidiary, Rocky Mountain Marijuana Inc. ("RMMI"), whereby Cannmart will purchase medical cannabis from RMMI to offer in its online platform. Subject to the terms of the Agreement, Cannmart will have the right of first refusal ("ROFR") on 20% of RMMI's gross production.
Cannmart holds the first "sales-only" license to be issued to a non-cultivator. Cannmart's goal is to offer a unique selection of high-quality cannabis products sourced from Licensed Producers across Canada. This strategy is the cornerstone of Cannmart's business model which is focused on enhancing the user experience and offering industry-leading customer support. The Agreement with RMMI which includes the 20% ROFR is important to the Company as it guarantees products for our patients and strengthens Cannmart's supply chain. Subject to the terms of the Agreement, Cannmart will purchase packaged, pre-labeled and tested products from RMMI to offer through its online platform.
With virtually hundreds of new cultivators in various stages of the application process, Cannmart will provide a platform whereby all licensed producers can offer their products in a competitive marketplace. As the industry evolves, Namaste's management team is confident in its ability to set itself apart as a true innovator in cannabis e-commerce.
Further to the Company's Oct 29th press release which outlined terms of a Patient Acquisition Agreement with Buds2go.ca, whereby Buds2go.ca is a highly-ranked website with strong organic search traffic and a database of over 50,000 users, the Company has seen and anticipates rapid expansion of its patient database through the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, NamasteMD Inc. ("NamasteMD"). NamasteMD is an online platform for patient consultations which drives traffic through to Cannmart. The Company is focused on securing additional supply agreements with licensed producers that will ensure supply during a period where the industry is experiencing a supply shortage.
