“We are thrilled to partner with Deutsche Medizinalcannabis to supply medical cannabis to the German market. At present, there is insufficient supply to meet patient demand in Germany and this is a great opportunity to expand our distribution and sales beyond Canada,” said George E. Kveton, CEO of Invictus. “Both companies share the same beliefs regarding the importance of product quality and it has been a pleasure working with Deutsche Medizinalcannabis as we prepare our Phase 3 facility at Acreage Pharms to be EU-GMP compliant.”

“Highest medical quality and reliable constant supply is what German patients deserve and what both, Invictus and Deutsche Medizinalcannabis, stand for. It has been a terrific experience to work with Invictus in achieving EU-GMP compliance for their Acreage Pharms facility.” said Cornelius Maurer, Co-Founder and CEO of Deutsche Medizinalcannabis. “Invictus’ supply will ease the product shortage in German pharmacies and lay the foundation for Deutsche Medizinalcannabis to become Germany’s most reliable wholesaler of medical cannabis products. We are excited to further develop our international network of EU-GMP certified suppliers through this partnership.”

Prior to any shipment of dried cannabis flower to the German market, the Company must first obtain an export permit from Health Canada as well as a Good Manufacturing Practice (“EU-GMP”) certification, in accordance with the rules governing medicinal products in the European Union. The EU-GMP certification is a requirement to distribute medical cannabis to Germany and across the European Union. Deutsche Medizinalcannabis must in turn obtain an import permit.
