National Access Cannabis Establishes Supply Arrangement with LaSanta S.A.S

NAC also provides update on Australian licensing agreement with The Hydroponics Company

OTTAWA, May 4, 2018 /CNW/ - National Access Cannabis Corp. ("NAC" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: NAC), Canada's best practices leader in delivering secure, safe and responsible access to legal cannabis, today announced that it has signed a non-binding letter of intent (the "LOI") with LaSanta S.A.S. ("LaSanta"), a Colombian-based company licensed to produce cannabidiol oil products, to carry LaSanta products in NAC medical clinics in various provinces in Canada, as legally permitted. Under the terms of the agreement, LaSanta has initially agreed to provide a total of a minimum of 600 kilograms of cannabis resin or an equivalent volume of cannabis oil for medical use only.

"Providing our medical clinic customers with secure access to high-quality cannabis products is an important factor in building strong brand loyalty," said Mark Goliger, Chief Executive Officer of National Access Cannabis. "LaSanta has deep cultivation and extraction experience and I look forward to building this relationship."

NAC also provided an update on its previously announced IP licensing agreement (the "Agreement") with The Hydroponics Company Limited (ASX: THC) ("THC"). Following an extensive review and consultations between NAC and THC it was determined that the current Australian regulatory framework would not support the implementation of NAC's medical clinic model in the country. As a result, a joint determination has been made to terminate the Agreement. Notwithstanding the termination of the Agreement, both parties maintain an ongoing dialogue with respect to the provision of professional medicinal cannabis products and services.

Mr. Goliger commented, "We remain committed to providing patients with innovative and convenient access to medical cannabis, including through networks of pharmacies, as we recently announced in Canada. While the current Australian regulatory framework does not support our established, medical clinic model that we successfully operate in Canada, our teams continues to explore opportunities to help service patients globally."
