Namaste Provides Official Response to Misleading Article Providing False Information Published on Lapresse.ca
VANCOUVER, Sept. 14, 2018 /CNW/ - Namaste Technologies Inc. ("Namaste" or the "Company") (TSXV: N) (FRANKFURT: M5BQ) (OTCMKTS: NXTTF) would like to provide an official response for shareholders in regard to a misleading article which was published on Lapresse.ca. The Company would like to take this opportunity to advise its shareholders that the article contains several false and misleading statements. The author of the article incorrectly claims that Namaste is in violation of the laws of the Province of Quebec, referencing the sale of unauthorized recreational cannabis.
Namaste's platform including NamasteMD and Cannmart apply only to the medical cannabis market under the ACMPR. Upon receipt of its sales license, Namaste will be authorized to sell medical (not recreational) cannabis to qualified patients in every province across Canada in accordance with Health Canada ACMPR regulations.
The Company would like to reiterate that its platform and services are fullly compliant with all applicable laws and regulations. In regard to claims relating to Namaste's relationship with Tilray, the Company hereby confirms that it has received notice today from Tilray that it has elected to terminate its supply agreement with Namaste upon 30 days prior notice as it was entitled to under the agreement. Namaste was not in breach of any of the terms of the agreement.
Management Commentary
Sean Dollinger, President and CEO of Namaste comments: "We were very disappointed to see this article published on Lapresse.ca which was not only misleading but completely inaccurate in relation to many of the claims related to the Company. Furthermore, it is with disappointment that Tilray chose to terminate the agreement, as Namaste was not in breach of any terms of the agreement. I would also like to make it clear that this does not in any way affect our business strategy, operations or anticipated revenues as we have already secured enough supply through other ACMPR licensed producers which will support our future demand. We'd like to reinforce to our shareholders that our management team works very hard to ensure that the Company is fully compliant in all aspects of our business."
