RYAH Announces Strategic Agreement in France

RYAH Medtech, Inc. (“RYAH” or the “Company”), announced today that it has entered into a strategic arrangement with DelleD SAS, a biotech company specialized in medical cannabis in France, with an aim to participate in the French National Medical Cannabis Experimentation and ultimately, distribute the RYAH Dry-Herb Inhaler and software platform throughout the country.

The agreement entails two sequential phases of collaboration:

Experimentation phase: DelleD will submit a full proposal to the ANSM (Agence Nationale du Médicament et des Produits de Santé) with RYAH providing a comprehensive solution for the French National Medical Cannabis Experimentation. As part of the proposal, RYAH will facilitate the study by providing RYAH Dose-Measuring Inhalers, Health Canada Class I certified cartridges, and HIPAA-compliant data capture software solutions. DelleD will be responsible for the HDS data hosting, authorized cartridge filling process, QC procedures, and distribution capabilities for the experiment.

Commercial Phase: Both parties intend to execute a long-term commercial strategy in France. DelleD will be commissioned to distribute RYAH dose-controlled, dry-herb inhalers, source, fill and seal the dry herb cartridges, and provide RYAH’s dedicated, secure software to the medical community in France.

“The strategic partnership with RYAH is very important for DelleD as it allows us to propose a solution to secure the use of medical cannabis flowers by French patients during the cannabis experimentation. We would be able, through our partnerships, to fill the cartridges and make the quality control in France with flowers provided by the ANSM. For years we are engaged into French medical cannabis solutions development and this is a very promising step for patients’ safe access to medical cannabis. It would facilitate the development and evaluation of our future proprietary strains for specific conditions,” said Franck Milone Delacourt, CEO of DelleD SAS.

“This strategic partnership with DelleD is an important step to further RYAH’s presence in France and Europe as a whole. This partnership combines the strength of RYAH’s clinical IoT device and software solutions with DelleD’s product development, distribution and regulatory network capability in the country of France,” said Sofiya Kleshchuk, Head of Client Relations at RYAH Medtech, Inc

Following the strategic arrangement, RYAH and DelleD will negotiate a definitive agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) during the “Experimentation Phase”, which is estimated to begin in Q4 2020. The Definitive Agreement will include the terms and conditions, economics and performance benchmarks mandatory for the execution of the “Commercial Phase”.

“This agreement advances our ambitions to provide safe, secure and controlled plant-based dosing regimen analytics to doctors, clinics and patients specific to France. We will continue to build additional strategic relationships in Europe and worldwide to expand distribution of our precise dose-measuring devices and patented AI software analytics platform,” said Gregory Wagner, CEO of RYAH Medtech.
