Valens GroWorks Enters into Cannabis Supply, Expansion and Services Agreement with SpeakEasy

“This partnership with SpeakEasy dovetails neatly with our expansion objectives. As a specialist in the extraction of cannabis, Valens creates some of the best oils in the world, with our proprietary process creating a product that is clear, transparent 100% cannabis oil. Companies like SpeakEasy are recognizing Valens’ expertise in the extraction business. By helping us secure a consistent quality product for our extraction process we jointly benefit to increase our distribution platform internationally. We are extremely excited to move forward with SpeakEasy” commented Valens CEO Tyler Robson.

Highlights of Proposed Partnership

Innovation and R&D Diversity

Valens’ Dealer’s License provides SpeakEasy with a platform to conduct research and development (“R&D”), store cannabis derivatives not covered under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (“ACMPR”), export cannabis oils and concentrates to international markets, and provides a facility to process natural health products. To accelerate and rationalize Valens’ exportation of cannabis products, SpeakEasy will introduce Valens to its international distribution network.

Expedited Sale to Domestic Markets

SpeakEasy and Valens, as part of the supply component of the Agreement, agree to secure a suitable partnership with an ACMPR LP sales licensee to accelerate domestic sales and marketing.

Export of Cannabis Oils to International Markets

Valens’ existing R&D and Dealer’s license will allow SpeakEasy to import and export key genetics, expediting joint product innovation and brand development on a global scale.

Secure Future Sales

Pending final approval under its ACMPR LP application, SpeakEasy will source an interim supply of Cannabis for Valens with 2,500 – 5,000 kilograms of suitable material per month, with a start date to be mutually determined.

Due Diligence Period

Valens has commenced a thirty (30) day due diligence period (the “Due Diligence Period”). The parties may mutually agree to an extension. Unless Valens provides notice to SpeakEasy on or before the expiry of the Due Diligence Period that the results of due diligence investigations are satisfactory and that it intends to proceed with the arrangement, the Agreement will automatically terminate without liability, unless such date and time is mutually extended by the parties in writing.

Each party will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete and execute a definitive agreement on or before the expiry of the Due Diligence Period.

“This deal with Valens is the first part of a series of arrangements that will bring both SpeakEasy and Valens to the forefront of the medical and recreational extract market both domestically and internationally, giving SpeakEasy a high volume of assured sales and providing Valens a consistent supply of high quality extract material produced at our site in Rock Creek.” stated Marc Geen, SpeakEasy CEO. “When Health Canada approves outdoor cultivation, because of our location SpeakEasy will be one of the lowest cost producers in the world.”
