IL: Agreement to import Canadian high-THC cannabis to Israel

Focus Medical Herbs, with which IM Cannabis has exclusive agreements to distribute production under the IMC brand, has signed a multi-year supply agreement with GTEC Holdings. According to the GTEC Agreement, Focus Medical will import GTEC's high-THC medical cannabis flower into Israel to be sold under the IMC brand. With the arrival of these commercial shipments, IMC will launch a new category of imported premium indoor medical cannabis products under its brand.

"Medical cannabis patients in Israel are beginning to demand more imported indoor products from Canada," said Oren Shuster, Chief Executive Officer of IMC. "IMC is leveraging this increasing demand by partnering with GTEC to obtain high-THC flower from GTEC's Canadian indoor cannabis facility for sale in Israel under the IMC brand. We are thrilled about the anticipated launch of this new product category and expect its market share to grow domestically."

Michael Blady, Co-founder, Vice President and Head of International Division of GTEC, commented, "We are very excited to sign this agreement adding our premium product to the offerings of the well-known IMC brand in Israel."

The import of the Canadian-grown high-THC strains from GTEC's subsidiary, Grey Bruce Farms Incorporated ("GBF"), is expected to commence in Q2 2021, subject to fulfilling all regulatory requirements in relation to such import, including compliance with the Israeli Ministry of Health ("MOH") regulations and receipt of a valid export license from Health Canada. According to the GTEC Agreement, Focus Medical will purchase a minimum quantity of 500 kg of high-THC medical cannabis flower from GBF and will be the exclusive recipient of GTEC cannabis products in the Israeli market for a period of 12 months from the date that the first shipment of GTEC products arrives in Israel (the "Exclusive Term"). The Exclusive Term can be extended under the terms of the GTEC Agreement by an additional 6 months. The agreement with GTEC further enhances IMC's business presence in the North American legal cannabis market and adds another international supply partner to its network, following the listing of the Company's common shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market ("NASDAQ") last week.
