Announced that it will change its name from “Mota Ventures Corp.” to “Thoughtful Brands Inc.” and its ticker symbol from “MOTA” to “TBI”
Subject to the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange, the Company expects the name change to take effect on August 14, 2020

VANCOUVER, BC / August 12, 2020 / Mota Ventures Corp. (CSE:MOTA)(FSE:1WZ:GR)(OTC PINK:PEMTF) (the “Company“) is pleased to announce that it will change its name from “Mota Ventures Corp.” to “Thoughtful Brands Inc.” and its ticker symbol from “MOTA” to “TBI”. Subject to the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE“), the Company expects the name change to take effect on August 14, 2020 when its common shares will begin trading on the CSE under the new name and new ticker symbol.

The Company’s fundamental business continues to be the development and sale of natural health products through its eCommerce technology, with a focus on the CBD and psychedelic medicine sectors. The Company believes that the name and symbol change better reflect the success of its strategic growth and its drive to acquire and develop branded products and research initiatives in the natural health products space.

“The rebranding and new name represent our multi-faceted expansion and evolution strategies moving forward,” said CEO Ryan Dean Hoggan. “The change also reflects our commitment to becoming a global leader in the natural products industry. We are already making pivotal progress in the space through our work in psychedelics research, as well as by making quality hemp-derived CBD products more accessible worldwide through our eCommerce technology platform-and yet we are just starting to scratch the surface.”

The Company’s rebranding is the latest of several recent developments, including its:

European expansion through a joint venture with Franchise Cannabis Corp. whereby the Company will sell and market Franchise-manufactured CBD, hemp and cosmetic products in the European Union, Switzerland, Norway and the UK, utilizing its well-established eCommerce platform. (July 2020)
Acquisition of Verrian, a German natural psychedelic development company with the goal of formulating treatments for addictions, including opioids and alcohol. The move propels the Company into the emerging psychedelic market and supports the Company’s forays into the natural health sector beyond the CBD market. (June 2020)

No action is required by existing shareholders with respect to the name and ticker symbol change. Certificates representing common shares of Mota Ventures Corp. will not need to be exchanged as a result of the name change. The name change was approved by the board of directors on August 10, 2020.

MedX Health $MDX.ca continues its global expansion in the fight against skin cancer $DMTK $ICAD $PLSE $SRTS

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:53 PM on Wednesday, August 12th, 2020

Matthew Bohlsen |

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States and worldwide, but early screening can save lives. Did you know these gruesome facts?

One in every three cancers diagnosed is skin cancer.
Between 2 and 3 million non-melanoma skin cancers and 132,000 melanoma skin cancers occur globally each year.
1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70.
More than 2 people die of skin cancer in the U.S. every hour.

Clearly the world needs a much better early skin cancer screening technology.

MedX Health Corp. (TSXV: MDX) is a leading medical device and software company focused on the early detection of skin cancer. MedX has approvals in 35 countries and distribution agreements in place for its key skin cancer diagnostic products – SIAscope and DermSecure™ telemedicine platform.

Following on from MedX’s regulatory approval and distribution agreement in Brazil (read here), the Company recently announced an exciting exclusive distribution agreement to launch SIAscopy on DermSecure™ in Mexico with EMC LABS, S.A.P.I. DE C.V., operating as MedX Mexico. MedX Mexico plans to launch an aggressive ease-of-access skin scanning/assessment program throughout Mexico, using MedX’s SIAscopy on DermSecure™ Telemedicine platform. MedX Mexico will cover all the upfront costs for application for regulatory approval in Mexico, all marketing costs, and will utilize their large-scale distribution network in Mexico.

MedX Mexico’s, President and CEO, Carlos Vizcaino, states:

“There is a significant opportunity for MedX’s rapid skin assessment technology in Mexico, as skin cancer is a very common type of cancer in Mexico……MedX’s SIAscopy on DermSecure™ Telemedicine platform and advanced SIAscopy imaging technology is a perfect solution to assist dermatologists and physicians in the diagnosis process for early detection of melanoma.”

Masterplan

MedX Health’s masterplan is to continue to rollout distribution agreements with partners globally. So far Brazil and now Mexico are underway. MedX’s revolutionary skin cancer detection device is approved in the USA, Canada, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, the European Union, Turkey, and many other places. In total MedX’s device has achieved regulatory approval in 35 countries. This means we can expect further distribution agreements in the future to many of the above countries. The potential for future revenues is enormous.

MedX’s business model is similar to Software as a Service (SaaS) companies. The revenue model uses front-end hardware sales coupled with recurring “platform” revenue based on a minimum number of screens per device (360/year at $10/image).

2019 revenues were only small at C$860,248, and 1st quarter 2020 C$95,544, as the Company was impacted by COVID-19 and had yet to ramp up distribution as is now occurring in 2020. For a guide on where revenues are headed the next two years the Beacon Securities report is most useful.

The report’s analysts says MedX has strong visibility on initial orders from the MedX Brazilian distribution partner, that could result in $8 million of hardware sales over the next 2 years and a run-rate of $14 million of high margin, recurring platform revenue by the end of FY21. Given that MedX currently trades on a market cap of C$24 million, the C$14 million, if achieved, would mean MedX would trade on a 2022 market cap/sales ratio of only 1.7. Beacon Securities rates MedX Health a ‘buy’ with a Price Target of C$0.45. Given the stock currently trades at C$0.135, the C$0.45 price target represents a very significant upside of 233% or a 3.3 fold gain.

Closing remarks

It is very clear to me that the market is yet to wake up to the potential very large boost in revenues that MedX is working to achieve, now with distribution agreements in both Brazil and Mexico.

Detecting skin cancer is an enormous global need and MedX is working hard to fill this need. MedX has the right device and approvals in 35 countries. All that is needed now is further distribution agreements and revenue to flow. The opportunity for investors to get in early on such a great company with a very bright future still exists. I would not recommend waiting too long as the cheap valuation is unlikely to last long, especially as further new deals are announced.

Binovi Technologies Corp Provides Highlights of Its Investor Conference Call Held on August 11, 2020 $EYPT $KALA

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:42 PM on Wednesday, August 12th, 2020

http://www.smallcapepicenter.com/binovi%20square.png

The call, led by Chairman Terry Booth, CEO Adam Cegielski and Scientific Advisor Dr. Sandra Stoddard PhD, formally announced the Company’s expansion in to the K-12 education sector, drawing attention to the great impact that professional-lead neuro-vision therapy and training can have on learning and reducing the global education gap
By targeting K-12, the company is aiming to get Binovi into over 15,000 schools in Canada and over 130,000 schools in the United States

Toronto, New York – August 12, 2020 – Binovi Technologies Corp., (Binovi) (TSXV:VISN) | (OTC:BNVIF), a leader in neuro-vision performance technology, today shared the key highlights from its Investor Conference call held Tuesday August 11^th, 2020. The call, led by Chairman Terry Booth, CEO Adam Cegielski and Scientific Advisor Dr. Sandra Stoddard PhD, formally announced the Company’s expansion in to the K-12 education sector, drawing attention to the great impact that professional-lead neuro-vision therapy and training can have on learning and reducing the global education gap.

“The plan in place for the next year truly exemplifies the shift necessary to grow the Binovi Platform to a Global and Noble product. Our team has worked tirelessly to develop and drive the commercial success of the platform, and the expansion into k-12 education is a natural evolution of the company’s capabilities to enhance cognitive performance through vision training. The efforts reflect our long-term business strategy and goals,” commented Terry Booth, Binovi Chairman.

Key Highlights from Binovi Investor Call:

Market Potential

Terry: “By targeting K-12, we’re aiming to get Binovi into over 15,000 schools in Canada and over 130,000 schools in the United States.”

Sandra: “I think [the rate of adoption] will skyrocket once we have the data in place about using Binovi. There’s so much research that proves already that vision therapy does improve developmental domains, the reading skills of kids, but we want to be able to show unequivocally that Binovi Touch works.”

Adam: “There are a lot of good tools out there, and there are a lot of companies that have built tools and they’re selling their tools and they’ve done a good job on how they’ve built those tools and how they market those tools; they’ve been very focused and they’ve had market penetration success; We are a platform, a platform that can continuously add technology and expand. We’ve taken a more global approach in our product development.”

Education Impact

Sandra: “Reading at grade level by grade 3 is the highest predictor for high school completion. We know that when kids complete high school it leads to so many more positive outcomes for them. In our field, we know that when kids don’t graduate, it’s close to 90% of kids that aren’t graduating weren’t able to read by grade 3.”

Sandra: “Close to 80% of children that do have learning disabilities in the area of reading meet the criteria for accommodation convergence problems, which literature has shown to lead to issues with accuracy, comprehension, or fluency. We also know that the earlier that we can intervene with individuals, the earlier we can remediate the problem.”

Sandra: “I am incredibly excited about utilizing this platform to really confirm that, if we can intervene early and help kids utilize vision therapy and remediate the vision difficulties, I’d like to be able to prove that it does have an impact on reading performance. If we can demonstrate that intervening early with these individuals can not only improve their ready ability but also improve their ability to attend; lots of kids that have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) also have vision deficits, so the potential for to globally impact these young kids, not only from a reading perspective but from those attentional learning skills needed to be successful in life, this could be a game-changer for the education field.”

Global Impact

Adam: “Over a billion people suffer from binocular issues.”

Terry: “This is way bigger than cannabis; this is a huge opportunity for investors but also schools, kids, and athletes. This is something that affects millions of people.”

Economic impact

Sandra: “Increasing the number of high school graduates in Canada by just 1% can save $7.7B; we see that not completing high school leads to higher rates of incarceration, lower levels of employment, more health issues.”

Ease of Use

Terry: “Vision training can take as little as 15 minutes per day, supported at home.”

Adam: “The infrastructure exists with support staff in schools and the goal is to use technology to link in with someone at the schools to be a centralized person within the school to work with teachers and simplifying the implementation.”

Sandra: “Having been through a walkthrough of the Binovi Platform for vision therapy, I can say that it is very very easy to use. We’d probably have to make some changes to make it motivational to some of the younger kids, but it is easy to use, all platforms can be integrated into the Binovi Platform, so my data collection can be tracked using Binovi. iPads are familiar, so I can easily see it being adopted into the education system.”

Telehealth

Adam: “Telehealth is a significant reality in the North American marketplace today; it’s really a by-product of the advancement of technology and where we are today. We’ve traditionally been dealing with technology solutions that are impacting us in different ways. I think it’s a unique opportunity now to converge all this technology into one spot. The education environment has never seen such dramatic changes in such a short period of time.”

Adam: “Our CTO, Dr. Mithani, has been working extensively on understanding the necessary pieces that Binovi has to have in place, and to be honest we’ve been on top of this substantially even before COVID hit. We’ve been working towards these things.”

Terry: “In our early discussions, Adam already had the plans in place to make sure that this was available through a telehealth platform. We needed to make this available to people from their homes, and it’s become a far bigger piece of the puzzle.”

“Binovi has the opportunity to be the global leader in how we shape the vision and brains of future generations. Looking ahead, we have implemented a number of initiatives to ensure the Company’s continued growth, and to generate the best possible performance results during these unique times. We are fortunate to support dedicated product users, while relying upon the experience and knowledge of our team to lead us to the next summit,” added Adam Cegielski, Binovi CEO

The expansion into education is in stride with the Company’s “Global and Noble” initiatives directed towards accelerating the development of reading fundamentals.

Late Filing of Annual Financial Statements:

The company also announces today that it anticipates additional delays in filing its financial statements for the year ended February 29, 2020 and the related management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) and certifications (the “Annual Filings”). The Company has filed an application with the relevant securities authorities requesting that they issue a management cease trade order (an “MCTO”).

As previously announced, the Company had relied upon the blanket relief provided by the Canadian Securities Administrators (the “CSA”) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to extend the filing deadline for the Annual Filings. Due to ongoing complications in collection of certain required data and documentation to complete the audit of the Company caused by COVID-19, the resulting restrictions in travel and limited access to facilities, the Company does not expect to be able to file the Annual Filings by their respective extended deadlines. The Company will work with its auditors to complete the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and expects to file the Annual Filings by August 31, 2020.

Pursuant to National Policy 12-203 Management Cease Trade Orders (“NP 12-203”), the Company is requesting that an MCTO be issued. If granted, the MCTO will restrict all trading by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and such other directors, officers and persons as determined by the applicable regulatory authorities, in the Company’s securities. There is no certainty that such order will be granted.

An MCTO will not affect the ability of persons other than the directors, officers and insiders to trade in the Company’s securities. An MCTO will remain in effect until the Annual Filings are filed or until it is revoked or varied. If an MCTO is not granted, the applicable regulatory authorities may issue a cease trade order against the Company for failure to file the Annual Filings within the prescribed time period.

Until the Company completes the Annual Filings, the Company will comply with the alternative information guidelines set out in National Policy 12-203 – Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults for issuers who have failed to comply with a specified continuous disclosure requirement within the times prescribed by applicable securities laws. The guidelines, among other things, require the Company to issue bi-weekly default status reports by way of a news release so long as the Annual Filings have not been filed.

Datametrex $DM.ca Secures COVID-19 Antigen Detection Kits

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:10 AM on Wednesday, August 12th, 2020

Announced that it has secured rights to sell and distribute South Korean manufacturer PCL, Inc.’s (“PCL”) COV05 COVID19 Rapid Antigen Detection Kits
These test kits are suitable for point of care tests. No extra equipment is needed. They are easy to use with over 97% accuracy, and results are available in 5 to 10 minutes
Antigen Rapid Diagnosis Kit developed by PCL is a method of fluorescently measuring the presence of a COVID-19 infection

TORONTO, Aug. 12, 2020 — Datametrex AI Limited (the “Company” or “Datametrex”) (TSXV: DM, FSE: D4G, OTC: DTMXF) is pleased to announce that it has secured rights to sell and distribute South Korean manufacturer PCL, Inc.’s (“PCL”) COV05 COVID19 Rapid Antigen Detection Kits. These test kits are suitable for point of care tests. No extra equipment is needed. They are easy to use with over 97% accuracy, and results are available in 5 to 10 minutes.

The Antigen Rapid Diagnosis Kit developed by PCL is a method of fluorescently measuring the presence of a COVID-19 infection. It is an in-vitro diagnostic medicaldevice to detect the SARS-CoV-2 antigen from a person’s oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal secretions if the specimen contains antigens to SARS-CoV-2, a colored line appears in the T line area.

“According to the manufacturer, PCL, this test can detect antigens of COVID-19 from a swab in the nose or throat and provide results in 10 minutes with over 97% accuracy,” said Marshall Gunter, CEO of Datametrex. “These almost-instant kits can be easily used at home. With the rise of cases in the United States and throughout the world, we at Datametrex believes it is critical to test and protect.”

PCL states that the clinical sensitivity (confirmed the actual positive of the approved person) is 100% and the clinical specificity (confirmed the actual negative of the negative person) is 97.78%. Early detection using rapid tests will also provide further protection to Canada’s front-line workers, especially health care professionals.

The following certifications have been awarded to these PCL Antigen Test Kits: CE Certificate, Korea FDA, FIND Listed, UNGM Supplier. Countries includes the EU, 2 countries in the Middle East- Qatar and UAE, India, Russia, 3 countries in Latin America- Guatemala, Ecuador, and Colombia.

The PCL Antigen Detection kit has the CE Certificate meaning that the manufacturer and products have met EU declaration of standards for health, safety, and environmental protection, allowing this product to be sold within the 22 countries in the European Economic Area.

Worldwide, currently there have been over 19.7M people who have been tested positive for COVID-19 but the actual case count is believed to be higher, as a significant number of asymptomatic people may not have been tested. Even more worrying is that most families have had to wait more than 72 hours for their test results to come back from both public and private labs increasing the possibility of spreading the virus.

Rapid Diagnosis Kit is easy when there are no symptoms even after COVID-19 infection, or when ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ are not evident in tests such as RT-PCR. When an infection occurs, an antigen against COVID-19 is formed in the body after some time, so it is a post-test that is essential as a preventive measure.

The Company is not making any express or implied claims that its product has the ability to eliminate, cure or contain the COVID-19 (or SARS-2 Coronavirus) at this time. Health Canada must approve these COVID-19 test kits before they can be used in Canada. The Company plans to sell these kits in all countries where the kits have been approved for sale.

RHO Phyto “Micro Drop” oil formulations are the first of the RHO Phyto formulary of advanced medical cannabis products available for patients and health care practitioners on the Medical Cannabis by Shoppers™ platform.

This product line includes advanced formulations under the “Cannabis 2.0” regulations that have undergone years of research and development and been manufactured under GMP standards at MediPharm Labs Inc.

The RHO Phyto products are also now available to clinicians and patients at the University Health Network through the Medical Cannabis Real World Evidence study in partnership with Medical Cannabis by Shoppers.

TORONTO, Aug. 12, 2020 – Avicanna Inc. (“Avicanna” or the “Company“) (TSX: AVCN) (OTCQX: AVCNF) (FSE: 0NN), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development, manufacturing and commercialization of plant-derived cannabinoid-based products, is pleased to announce that its advanced RHO Phyto™ Micro Drop oils are now officially available nationwide in Canada on the Medical Cannabis by Shoppers™ (“Shoppers“) platform as well as through the Medical Cannabis Real-World Evidence study (“MC-RWE study“) at the University Health Network (“UHN“) as announced by the Company on July 15, 2020.

Following years of research and development in collaboration with world class academic and clinical organizations, Avicanna is proud to be launching RHO Phyto, a full formulary of advanced medical cannabis products, for patients and the medical community in Canada.

Binovi $VISN.ca Transforming K-12 Global Education Through Guided Classroom Technology Resources $EYPT $KALA

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:13 PM on Tuesday, August 11th, 2020

Announced its strategic expansion into pre-K-12 Education. The expansion is in stride with the Company’s “Global and Noble” initiatives directed towards accelerating the development of reading fundamentals.
Cognitive literacy skills for students of all abilities from pre-K to grade 3, with continued reading comprehension activities to grade 12, will be advanced through technology-driven vision training protocols
The company is positioned to leverage the flexibility of the Binovi Platform and empower students and teachers globally in this new post COVID-19 world

Toronto, New York – August 11, 2020 – Binovi Technologies Corp., (Binovi) (TSXV:VISN) | (OTC:BNVIF), a leader in neuro-vision performance technology, announces its strategic expansion into pre-K-12 Education. The expansion is in stride with the Company’s “Global and Noble” initiatives directed towards accelerating the development of reading fundamentals. Cognitive literacy skills for students of all abilities from pre-K to grade 3, with continued reading comprehension activities to grade 12, will be advanced through technology-driven vision training protocols. The company is positioned to leverage the flexibility of the Binovi Platform and empower students and teachers globally in this new post COVID-19 world.

“Expanding our Binovi vision therapy technology into the field of education is the most exciting development I have seen. Research has already proven that binocular vision problems can interfere with a student’s ability to read. In fact, 80% of children diagnosed with a learning disability meet the criteria for visual accommodation and vergence problems. Knowing this, our Binovi Platform has been designed to provide early-intervention vision therapy activities to help increase reading abilities by grade three, which is the strongest predictor of high school completion and other positive life outcomes. If we can integrate our Binovi platform into the school system and have it accessible to all children as early as kindergarten, the impact of being able to detect and remediate early vision deficits, that are impeding children’s ability to read successfully by grade 3, could be a game changer,” said Terry Both, Executive Chairman, Binovi Technologies

The global education smart technology industry is growing significantly with abundant opportunities. North America plays a huge role in the development of this technology, which helps in the adoption of new learning solutions across various end-user segments. The goal of Binovi is to provide the global education sector with the best vision assessment and development tools to assist students to achieve all that they are capable. New learning opportunities are emerging as students engage with a new generation of smart technology; with smart classrooms becoming the norm, students have instant access to performance and cognitive tools that can supplement their learning success.

There is approximately 15,000 k-12 schools within Canada and over 130,000 schools within the USA. Binovi hopes to penetrate this North American education sector with our product offering and for each school we are able to license the revenue would be approximately $50k to 100k per school based upon our current pricing structure.

“Vision extends well beyond the realm of eyesight and is a fundamental component of cognition. Educators assume that each child enters the educational system with adequate visual abilities, but all too often that is not the case. Binovi technology is poised to help level the playing field among students,” commented Dr. Leonard Press, Chief Scientific Officer, Binovi Technologies

Blending personalized, online, student-driven instruction with offline, teacher-delivered lessons and activities, Binovi strives to accelerate the development of both fundamental literacy skills and higher-order thinking skills through adaptive learning paths. With a range of instructional and motivating resources, Binovi for Education will engage students in their learning success. Additionally, progress monitoring, actionable data, and scripted lessons will empower teachers to deliver literacy support specific to each students’ needs.

“The final frontiers in technology evolution is how these advancements can impact Healthcare and Education. We are now seeing these changes in real-time and look forward to becoming a global leader in the field of Education,” commented Adam Cegielski, CEO, Binovi Technologies

Iconic $ICM.ca Initiates Drilling Program at Bonnie Claire Lithium Project, Nevada $LI.ca $MGG.ca $PAC.ca $CYP.ca $NEV.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:12 AM on Tuesday, August 11th, 2020

Announced that it has mobilized a drill crew and drilling equipment to the Bonnie Claire Lithium Deposit in Nevada
Exploration program will consist of 3-5 vertical reverse circulation (RC) holes 90-120 meters (300-400 feet) in depth and 2 vertical core holes 90-120 meters (300-400 feet) in depth

Vancouver, British Columbia–(August 11, 2020) – Iconic Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: ICM) (OTC Pink: BVTEF) (FSE: YQGB) (“Company” or “Iconic”) is pleased to announce that it has mobilized a drill crew and drilling equipment to the Bonnie Claire Lithium Deposit in Nevada. The drilling contract was signed with Harris Exploration Drilling of Fallon, Nevada, for both core and RC drilling.

The exploration program will consist of 3-5 vertical reverse circulation (RC) holes 90-120 meters (300-400 feet) in depth and 2 vertical core holes 90-120 meters (300-400 feet) in depth (the “Drill Holes”). The RC drilling will provide additional samples for metallurgical testing as well as expand the existing resource. The core holes will be the first drilled on the Bonnie Claire Project, and will be used in engineering studies for a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).

All of the planned Drill Holes are south of Iconic’s previous deep drilling (BC1601-1801) in an area of linear lithium anomalies found by surface grid sampling. It is hoped that the sediment hosted lithium will begin very shallow in this area which may allow for future bulk sampling using an excavator. In past drilling the shallowest depth of lithium rich sediments that was intercepted was at 6 meters (20 feet) and contained +600 ppm Li, which increased at depth with Li values up to 2250ppm. In addition to collecting the sediments for testing, because the surface anomalies may indicate near-surface lithium brine, preliminary semi-quantitative brine samples will also be taken from all holes during drilling.

The Bonnie Claire Lithium Property Characteristics:

The Property is located within Sarcobatus Valley that is approximately 30 km (19 miles) long and 20 km (12 miles) wide. Quartz-rich volcanic tuffs, that contain anomalous amounts of lithium, occur within and adjacent to the valley. Geochemical analysis of the local salt flats has yielded lithium values up to 340 ppm. The gravity low within the valley is 20 km (12 miles) long, and the current estimates of depth to basement rocks range from 600 to 1,200 meters (2,000 to 4,000 feet). The current claim block covers an area of 35 km2 (13.5 mi2) with potential to be underlain by lithium-rich sediments.

On behalf of the Board of Directors

Avicanna $AVCN.ca and Red White & Bloom Enter Exclusive Partnership for the Distribution and Commercialization of Pura H&W Hemp-Derived #CBD-Based Topical Products in the United States $WEED.ca $CL.ca $HEXO.ca $RWB.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:06 AM on Tuesday, August 11th, 2020

Entered into a distribution agreement for the exclusive distribution of Avicanna’s advanced and clinically backed CBD-based cosmetic and topical products Pura H&W™ by RWB in the US and certain other markets.
The partnership allows for both companies to stake a claim in the expanding $532 billion beauty industry with the most advanced and only clinically backed CBD skin care line

TORONTO, Aug. 11, 2020 – Avicanna Inc. (“Avicanna”) (TSX: AVCN) (OTCQX: AVCNF) (FSE: 0NN), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development, manufacturing and commercialization of organic and sustainable plant-derived cannabinoid-based products, and Red White & Bloom Brands Inc. (CSE: RWB) (OTC: RWBYF) (“RWB” or “Red White & Bloom”) are pleased to announce that they have entered into a distribution agreement for the exclusive distribution of Avicanna’s advanced and clinically backed CBD-based cosmetic and topical products Pura H&W™ by RWB in the US and certain other markets.

The $532 billion beauty industry continues growing rapidly and new trends such as the introduction of CBD cosmetics is anticipated to establish a strong market presence in markets that permit retail sales such as the United States. The Pura H&W branded products utilize hemp-derived CBD, the non-psychoactive and non-controlled cannabinoid, which allows for cosmetic designation and retail sales.

The launch of this innovative and premium hemp-derived CBD product line will leverage from the growing use of online platforms for shopping including Pura H&W’s own e-commerce platform, third party e-commerce channels, and “big box” retailers in addition to the existing commercial infrastructure of RWB in the United States.

Brad Rogers, chairman and chief executive officer of RWB, stated: “Throughout my career, I have seen tremendous success licensing brands, strategically leveraging them for the demographics that recognize the best in class quality & efficacy, and then listing them in big box and specialty retailers. This agreement paves a path that will allow RWB and Avicanna to grow together well into the future beyond our news today.”

Under the agreement, which has an initial five-year term, RWB will exclusively distribute the Pura H&W™ brand and certain other white label brands at RWB’s direction. Having been developed by researchers and collaborators from world class medical and academic institutions, the Pura H&W™ line of products has been developed through a scientific and evidence-based approach. This approach in product development has allowed Avicanna to synergistically combine natural ingredients with hemp-derived CBD in advanced and proprietary formulations that have completed 3 cosmetic human clinical studies. Product development is always commenced with the consumer in mind and specific needs are addressed through analysis in observational as well as interventional clinical studies. Avicanna’s hemp-derived CBD infused cosmetics and topicals equip RWB with the opportunity to set the standards with advanced research and development for hemp-derived CBD cosmetics and GMP manufacturing.

The 3 cosmetic clinical studies were completed on Avicanna’s formulations targeted at cosmetic factors associated with aging, acne-prone skin, and eczema-prone skin. The successfully completed studies involved 156 patients that were tested for both safety and certain derma-cosmetic endpoints, including hydration and excess oil production. The results of all three studies achieved positive results in the endpoints with no adverse effects, making products part of one of the only cannabinoid consumer product lines with human safety and efficacy data.

Aras Azadian, CEO of Avicanna, commented: “After years of R&D and clinical development of what we believe is the most advanced line of CBD skin care products, we are thrilled to have partnered up with the team at RWB, who provide an ideal partner for Avicanna and the Pura H&W line of products. We believe their access and expertise in the US market through commercial and retail channels will allow the Pura H&W branded products to reach their potential as the leading skin care brand.”

Terms of the agreement

RWB will pay Avicanna an upfront licensing fee in the amount of two hundred fifty thousand Canadian dollars (CAD$250,000) in cash, along with minimum purchase requirements for the rights to be the exclusive distributor of Avicanna’s Pura H&W branded cosmetic products in the US. Under the agreement, RWB also has the right to purchase Avicanna’s cosmetic products for distribution into the US and certain other territories under brands of RWB’s choosing. The initial product offerings under the agreement will include body and face lotions, cosmetic creams, gels and serums, as well as soaps and bath bombs.

To the knowledge of the Company, it carries out its operations in compliance with all applicable laws in the jurisdictions in which it operates.
