VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sproutly Canada, Inc. (CSE: SPR) (OTCQB: SRUTF) (FSE: 38G) (“Sproutly" or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Toronto Herbal Remedies (“THR”) has entered into a cannabis standing offer contract with the province of Alberta (the “Supply Agreement” or the “Agreement”) from Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis (“AGLC”), the province’s wholesaler and operator of Alberta’s only legal online recreational cannabis store, AlbertaCannabis.org. Pursuant to the Supply Agreement, Sproutly will supply AGLC with its indoor-grown dried flower products produced from THR, under the Company’s premium cannabis brand ‘CALIBER’. The Alberta Supply Agreement is the Company’s first executed provincial supply agreement for cannabis flower to date.
“Our Supply Agreement with AGLC marks the launch of our ‘CALIBER’ products to recreational consumers throughout one of the largest legal provincial markets in Canada by revenue, validating the demand of our products from customers and retailers across the country.” said Keith Dolo, CEO & Director of Sproutly. “With over 340 licensed physical cannabis retailers to date, the most out of any Canadian province, our partnership with AGLC will be a fantastic opportunity to seamlessly introduce our ‘CALIBER’ branded products in an established market, beginning with our premium dried flower portfolio. We look forward to replicating this success in additional markets across Canada”.
CALIBER will launch in Alberta with 4 SKUs including both an introductory size (1g) and the most popular size (3.5g) for each of CALIBER’s unique strains, Berry White and Lemon Zkittle (2018 Highlife Cup Overall and Best Sativa winner which will be called Lemon Z). The launch will be supported with regional marketing efforts in line with Health Canada regulations.
“Sproutly’s CALIBER brand has been curated with the cannabis connoisseur in mind, and targeted to adults who are looking for a brand distinguished by its premium quality flower. We selected to launch CALIBER in Alberta because we believe it has one of the most attractive consumer bases for high-quality craft cannabis flower.” said Melise Panetta, Vice President of Marketing and Sales. “Sproutly’s product portfolio is expected to expand in 2020 into extracts, beverages (via the Moosehead Sproutly Joint Venture Partnership) and edible products using the proprietary Aqueous Phytorecovery Process (“APP”) technology that extracts BioNatural Oils (BNO) and water soluble Infuz20.” continued Panetta.
The Supply Agreement with AGLC follows the Company’s receipt of its Flower Sales License from Health Canada on October 16, 2019, making it the first executed provincial supply agreement for Sproutly to date.
