Cannabis Stock News: Nextleaf Solutions Signs Supply Agreement with BC Liquor Distribution Branch for Sale and Distribution of Branded Consumer Products

Vancouver, British Columbia - July 20, 2021 (Newsfile Corp.) (Investorideas.com Newswire) Nextleaf Solutions Ltd. (CSE: OILS) (OTCQB: OILFF) ("Nextleaf", "OILS", or the "Company"), an extraction company that owns one of the largest portfolios of U.S. patents for the extraction and distillation of cannabinoids, is pleased to announce that it has signed a supply agreement with the British Columbia Liquor Distribution Branch ("BCLDB") for the sale and distribution of Nextleaf's cannabis oils and branded products under its award-winning prohibition-era brand, Glacial GoldTM.

The BCLDB is responsible for the wholesale distribution of non-medical cannabis to private retailers in British Columbia and is the public retailer of cannabis throughout the province under the brand 'BC Cannabis Stores'.

Under the Supply Agreement, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Nextleaf Labs Ltd. ("Nextleaf Labs") will supply the BCLDB with large format THC and CBD ingestible oils, and vape cartridges produced at the Company's Health Canada licensed cannabis processing facility in Greater Vancouver.

In May 2021, Nextleaf acquired all rights associated with the Glacial GoldTM prohibition-era brand. The Company leveraged its extensive IP portfolio, experienced team of researchers, formulators, and marketers - many of whom have been intimately familiar with Glacial GoldTM since its inception in 2015 - to successfully relaunch the brand. Nextleaf Labs holds a Health Canada Research Licence that enabled the Company to conduct human trials during product development to ensure a desirable consumption experience and quality standard that are intrinsic to the brand.

"With valued partners here in B.C. supplying input biomass, and direct access to high-efficiency ingredient processing technology through Nextleaf Labs, the Glacial GoldTM brand is well positioned to be a value leader in all distillate product categories including vape and oils. We are excited to re-launch Glacial GoldTM, an authentic B.C. brand, in our home province, and honour the legacy and reputation it's known for across Canada," said Nextleaf Chief Executive Officer, Paul Pedersen.

Leading Nextleaf's commercial strategy and entry into branded consumer products is Emma Andrews, a seasoned professional with over a decade of experience building global lifestyle brands and launching consumer packaged goods ("CPG") with category leaders such as Vega, a B.C. based innovator in plant-based nutrition.

"Our strategy is built firmly on a commitment to providing unparalleled value and accessibility. Having been part of the Nextleaf team as we built our wholesale business through our commercial partners program and scaled-up our processing technology, I've gained invaluable insight into data that will allow for differentiation through transparent education, an accessible product assortment, and defining quality based on what matters most, the consumption experience," said Andrews. "It's truly a privilege to build on such a strong foundation and expand our operations into consumer products, starting with a dedicated focus in our own backyard."

To support upcoming distribution, Glacial GoldTM has undergone a brand identity refresh and relaunched the glacial.gold website to transition from the prohibition-era into the legal, adult-use cannabis market regulated under the Cannabis Act.
