Namaste signs UK and EU CBD supply agreement with BlueSky Biologicals Inc.

VANCOUVER, Sept. 12, 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 distribution agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") with BlueSky Biologicals Inc. ("BlueSky"); a private British Columbia company; whereby Namaste Bahamas will distribute BlueSky's full-spectrum, hemp-derived cannabidiol ("CBD") products in its UK and European marketplace. The UK has classified CBD as a food supplement, as such, Namaste has been focused on building a carefully curated CBD supply chain for its UK platform. Namaste's launch of CBD sales in the UK and EU are the first steps of the Company's initiative to leverage its platform, technology and consumer databases to enter into cannabis consumable sales in the UK and EU.

In Canada, CBD is regulated under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations ("ACMPR") program, which restricts non-ACMPR vendors from selling it. CBD is a type of cannabinoid which is present in both cannabis and industrial hemp. Most CBD products outside of Canada are produced using industrial hemp, which is naturally high in CBD and low in delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol ("THC").

The UK's recent classification of CBD opens the market to Namaste to leverage its site traffic and database to create a new high-growth revenue stream in its UK marketplace. BlueSky's full spectrum products have been created to fill the unmet global demand for cannabinoids. Their products have unique formulations and are based on their proprietary Golden Harvest™ cannabinoid blend-. Additionally, BlueSky's hemp is organically grown using sustainable farming practices, which is the foundation for their cannabinoid products containing no additives, chemicals, or preservatives.

The Company intends to develop a platform in the UK, subject to legalization of medical cannabis, which incorporates CBD and cannabis consumable sales in a similar platform to its Canadian subsidiary, Cannmart Inc. ("Cannmart" or "Cannmart.com"). Cannmart will be Canada's first medical cannabis "sales-only" license. Namaste will seek opportunities in the UK to leverage its database, its revolutionary telemedicine app, NamasteMD ("NamasteMD.com") and its cannabis journalling app, MyUppy Cannabis Journal ("MyUppy"), to introduce cannabis consumable products to the UK market, starting with CBD. The Company believes that as the industry evolves and cannabis becomes commoditized, its position as a global leader in cannabis e-commerce will secure Namaste's future in the global cannabis industry.

Management Commentary

Sean Dollinger, President and CEO of Namaste comments: "We have a well-established market in the UK and with recent changes in federal regulations we are now able to launch CBD sales into one of our strongest markets. Our team has secured supply from multiple CBD manufacturers and vendors and we see this initiative as our first entry-point into developing a platform similar to what we are implementing in the Canadian market. We will continue to explore international opportunities in markets where Namaste has significant market share. By leveraging our global presence, technology and incredible talent, we will set the benchmark for global cannabis ecommerce."
