VANCOUVER, May 23, 2018 /CNW/ - Namaste Technologies Inc. ("Namaste" or the "Company") (TSXV: N)(FRA: M5BQ)(OTCMKTS: NXTTF) is pleased to announce that further to the Letter of Intent ("LOI") dated March 28^th, 2018, the Company has signed a definitive agreement (the "Agreement") with Inolife R&D Inc.

Namaste intends to produce medical cannabis oil through its partnership with Infinite Labz Inc. ("Infinite Labz") and to specifically formulate oil for use with Inolife's injector technology.

Namaste is also pleased to announce that the Company is participating as the lead order in a non-brokered private placement offering ("Private Placement"), whereby Namaste will purchase 2,000,000 units of Inolife, issued at a price of $0.10 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant, with an exercise price of $0.20 per full warrant for a period of 24 months from the Private Placement closing date. Inolife has also chosen to appoint Namaste's CEO Sean Dollinger to Inolife's executive board of directors. Namaste's management team believes that Inolife's needle-free technology can offer significant long-term value for the medical cannabis market.
