Namaste signs binding terms sheet to acquire UK-based licensed pharmaceutical distribution company AF Trading Ltd.

VANCOUVER, Sept. 13, 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, Namaste Bahamas Inc. ("Namaste Bahamas"), has signed a Binding Terms Sheet ("Terms Sheet") to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of UK-Based AF Trading Ltd. (operating as "Access Fulfillment" or "accessfulfilment.com"). Access Fulfillment operates a 30,000 square-foot distribution facility in the UK and holds a Wholesale Distribution Authorization (Human) License issued by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency ("MHRA") which allows Access Fulfillment to distribute pharmaceutical products throughout the UK. The acquisition of Access Fulfillment is the first step in Namaste developing its future medical cannabis distribution platform in the UK, which represents a much larger customer base than that of its Canadian operations. The Company intends to launch a platform similar to its Canadian wholly-owned subsidiary Cannmart Inc. ("Cannmart") within the UK market to help monetize on its database of over 500,000 customers.

Prior to July 2018, the UK prohibited the use of medical cannabis. Since that time, the UK Home Secretary has announced that licensed clinicians will now be able to legally prescribe cannabis-derived medicines to patients, as an alternative to prescription drugs. As medical cannabis legalization in the UK progresses, Namaste believes this acquisition will provide the Company with the first-mover advantage in the UK market, which will enable them to implement a fully integrated platform and sales funnel based on Namaste's current Cannmart business model. Namaste is focused on creating the largest global platform for everything cannabis and in developing innovative technology. The acquisition of Access Fulfillment and its license with MHRA provides Namaste with the necessary infrastructure to capitalize on a market where it maintains a strong market presence.

Key Terms

• Namaste will acquire all issued and outstanding shares of Access Fulfillment for US $5 million.
• Payment to Access Fulfillment will be 50% in cash and 50% in Namaste common stock shares.
• No capital raise will be required.
• Access Fulfillment's management will sign consulting agreements for operations and business development.
• Access Fulfillment's management will sign non-compete agreements.
• Access Fulfillment will operate as Namaste's exclusive distribution center for CBD and cannabis products in the UK.
• The acquisition of Access Fulfillment will be subject to approval by the Toronto Venture Exchange ("TSXV" or the "Exchange").
• Both parties will have 30 days to complete and sign definitive documents required to complete the transaction.

Namaste has been selling cannabis ancillary products in the UK for over 4 years and maintains a database of over 500,000 consumers during which period Access Fulfillment has undertaken all distribution of cannabis vaporizers and accessories on behalf of Namaste. Through the acquisition, Namaste anticipates a significant reduction of its costs as related to fulfillment of its vaporizer and accessories in the UK and EU markets. The Company maintains a strong working relationship with Access Fulfillment's management team and believes the launch of cannabis sales through the distribution center represents a high growth opportunity, subject to approval by the MHRA.

The Company plans to submit its revolutionary telemedicine application and patient acquisition tool, NamasteMD ("NamasteMD" or "NamasteMD.com") to the Apple and Google Play stores, which will allow Namaste to leverage its telemedicine application to acquire medical patients through online consultations in the UK. By acquiring Access Fulfillment, launching NamasteMD and developing supply relationships with domestic cultivators, Namaste will have the infrastructure it needs to launch CBD and cannabis products into its marketplace in the UK, subject to approval by MHRA and other any applicable regulatory bodies.

Namaste has established itself as a global leader in cannabis e-commerce and technology. The company has incorporated revolutionary technology platforms like NamasteMD as well as its proprietary machine learning applications through the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Findify AB ("Findify.io"). The Company recently launched the first AI-driven cannabis journaling app, My Uppy Cannabis Journal ("My Uppy"), which is available internationally through the Apple store and on Android devices. These platforms allow Namaste to create a highly personalized experience for every user which helps optimize conversion rates and increase revenue.

By acquiring Access Fulfillment, Namaste will enter into a market much larger than Canada, where it maintains a history of customer service excellence, strong revenue and brand loyalty. Additionally, having the ability to acquire patients through a telemedicine app and distribute cannabis products through Access Fulfillment's facility represents a unique opportunity to leverage a significant market. With access to over 500,000 users in its UK database, the Company is well positioned as a global platform for all things cannabis.

Further to the announcement related to the Terms Sheet, Namaste would like to announce the success of its Shareholder Pledge Party (the "Pledge Party"), which brought together over 800 investors and 200 media influencers at New City Gas in Montreal the night of Wednesday September 12^th, 2018. The event, which was for Company shareholders who participated in a voluntary 90-day pledge to hold their shares was an incredible success. The Pledge Party was the first party of its kind and featured celebrity performances and Namaste's various strategic partners who sponsored the event. Namaste would like to take the opportunity to thank its sponsors and reinforce its position with each partner, who had the opportunity to speak to shareholders and the media as outlined below.

We've worked with Access Fulfillment for many years and have the utmost confidence in their operation and management team. We're looking forward to securing supply agreements in the UK and in eventually facilitating the import of medical cannabis products into the UK market through Access Fulfillments' facility. We've done business in the UK for many years and our UK assets including Everyonedoesit.co.uk and NamasteVapes.co.uk maintain strong brand loyalty and drive significant revenue. By acquiring Access Fulfillment, we will leverage our technology and user base to introduce medical cannabis sales within our platform subject to further progress on UK's cannabis legalization.

We were overwhelmed by the support from our shareholders at the Pledge Party. The event was of epic proportion and is something myself and hopefully our shareholders will remember. The Share Pledge brought together investors who pledged to hold their shares for a 90-day period. The event was sponsored by many of our partners who bring great value to the Company. I'd like to take the opportunity to thank all of our shareholders, large and small for without them we would not be where we are today. We believe that every customer counts and that every shareholder counts. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts to all shareholders, management and employees who truly make this Company great."
