Namaste Announces Supply Agreement with GTEC Holdings

VANCOUVER, Aug. 27, 2018 — /D.M.O. Newswire/ —  Namaste Technologies Inc. (“Namaste” or the “Company”) (TSXV:N) (FRANKFURT:M5BQ) (OTC:NXTTF) is pleased to announce that the Company has signed a bulk cannabis supply agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) with GTEC Holdings Ltd.(“GTEC”) (TSXV:GTEC) (OTC:GGTTF), whereby Namaste‘s wholly owned subsidiary and Health Canada’s Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes (“ACMPR”) late-stage applicant, Cannmart Inc. (“Cannmart”) will purchase bulk cannabis flower and oil from GTEC for resale in Cannmart’s online platform. Cannmart will be Canada’s first ACMPR Licensed Producer (“LP”) with a “sales-only” license, allowing the Company to leverage its e-commerce expertise to become Canada’s leading cannabis online retailer.

This Supply Agreement further demonstrates Namaste’s ability to secure a strong supply chain to help service Namaste’s growing list of patients, and execute on its strategy to create Canada’s largest online retail cannabis platform. GTEC is a Kelowna-based LP which owns and operates several cultivation facilities, and Namaste anticipates GTEC becoming a key supplier for Cannmart’s platform. With the upcoming roll-out of recreational cannabis and with an anticipated short-term national supply shortage, cannabis supply agreements are now more important than ever to Namaste’s long-term strategy. This Supply Agreement further demonstrates Namastes ability to secure a strong supply chain with multiple LP’s.

Namaste’s e-commerce platform and technology will continue to drive innovation that will have a major impact on the way in which patients can access medical cannabis online. Namaste’s goal is to create the most comprehensive user experience possible by personalizing product and strain recommendations through the integration of its AI technology, by providing convenient access to healthcare practitioners, and by driving cannabis sales through Cannmart.

With the recent launch of NamsteMD’s (“NamasteMD.com”) Google Android App, the company expects to see exponential growth having recently reached over 14,000 registered users. The continuous acceleration and strong supply channels have Namaste well-positioned to integrate cannabis sales within its e-commerce platform. The Company has been overwhelmed with support from its LP partners who see Namaste’s vision to become the global leader in online retail for all things cannabis.

Management Commentary

Norton Singhavon, Chairman and CEO of GTEC comments: “GTEC is actively pursuing long-term supply agreements with Licensed Producers whose core competencies are complementary to our own. Accordingly, we are very excited about our partnership with CannMart and Namaste. We believe that GreenTec’s ability to cultivate and market high-quality craft cannabis provides an excellent fit with Cannmart’s packaging and distribution capabilities, and Namaste’s ability to develop a robust network of medical cannabis patients”.

Sean Dollinger, President, and CEO of Namaste comments: “We have been working on securing this Supply Agreement with GTEC for several months and are thrilled to see this come together nicely. GTEC operates multiple facilities and will be launching a new production facility in Kelowna shortly. We’re pleased to have secured another strong supplier for Cannmart.

We’re expecting to receive our sales license very soon and are highly focused on expansion of our patient network and in curating a high-quality offering of cannabis products for our customers. During a time where inventory remains on shortage with many vendors, we are proud to have partners like GTEC who see value in the platform which we’ve created. Thanks to GTEC’s management team for supporting Namaste in its efforts to become Canada’s leading online cannabis retailer and we’re looking forward to a strong partnership together”
