27 February 2021 - 8:33AM
Sugarbud Craft Growers Corp. (TSXV: SUGR, SUGR.WT, SUGR.WS,
SUGR.DB) ("
Sugarbud" or the
"
Company") is pleased to announce that it has
signed a supply agreement (the "
Agreement") with
CannMart Inc. ("
CannMart"), a subsidiary of
Namaste Technologies Inc. ("
Namaste") (TSXV: N),
to provide access to the Company's Craft Cannabis Collection to
registered medical patients nationwide via CannMart's online
medical cannabis sales platform. The Company has also refiled its
Management Discussion & Analysis ("
MD&A")
for the period ended September 30, 2020.
Supply Agreement
Under the terms of the Agreement, Sugarbud will
provide CannMart with a wide selection of its Craft Cannabis
Collection of products, including premium dried flower and
pre-rolls for direct sale to registered medical patients
nationwide. The Agreement is subject to customary regulatory,
licensing and new product notification requirements.
"We are very pleased to be partnering with
CannMart to provide registered medical patients across the country
with access to our Craft Cannabis Collection," stated Sugarbud CEO,
John Kondrosky. "Up until now our exceptional line of Craft
Cannabis products were not available to registered medical
patients. Our partnership with CannMart leverages our existing
production and immediately expands our reach to medical patients
nationwide - while at the same time allowing Sugarbud to maintain
the Company's primary focus and allocation of commercial resources
on scaling up our core recreational cannabis business," concluded
Mr. Kondrosky
"We are pleased to welcome Sugarbud to
CannMart.com which will leverage the VendorLink platform as many
new companies are increasingly seeing the added value Namaste's
innovative technology can bring to their organization," said Chad
Agate, CTO and VP of Marketplace of Namaste Technologies. "We look
forward to working closely with our new partner to expand their
reach to Canadian cannabis consumers."
Amended MD&A
The Company has refiled its MD&A for the
period ended September 30, 2020 (the "Amended
MD&A"). The Amended MD&A provides additional
disclosures related to the three and nine months ended September
30, 2020 and 2021 guidance, including with respect to use of
proceeds from the prospectus financing completed in June 2020.
