Tetra Bio-Pharma (TSXV:$TBP.V) (OTCQB: $TBPMF) Added to Leading #Cannabis #ETF: Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences Index

OTTAWA, ONTARIO - March 20, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc. ("Tetra" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TBP)(OTCQB:TBPMF), a global leader in cannabinoid-based drug development and discovery, is pleased to announce that it has been added to the Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences Index (HMMJ) managed by Horizons ETFs Management (Canada) Inc.

HMMJ was the first and is the world's largest ETF offering direct exposure to North American-listed securities that are involved with marijuana bioengineering and production. The HMMJ portfolio recently expanded to include ten new constituents, including Tetra.

"This is a very positive sign for our shareholders," says Bernard Fortier, CEO of Tetra. "Having Horizons trusting us after completing a $11.5 million bought deal and in the process of a $ 4.5 million private placement is a strong message of confidence. Our clinical approach and pipe-line of products are unique and being added to this index reinforces the credibility of our approach to the financial community."

HMMJ is an index (or passively managed) ETF, which seeks to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of the North American Marijuana Index (the "Index"), net of expenses. The Index is designed to provide exposure to the performance of a basket of North American publicly listed life sciences companies with significant business activities in the marijuana industry. The Index selects from a current universe of companies that have operations that may include one or more of biopharmaceuticals, medical manufacturing, distribution, bio-products and other ancillary businesses related to the marijuana industry.
