The CTO prohibits the trading by any person of any securities of the Company in each jurisdiction in Canada in which the Company is a reporting issuer, including trades in the Company's common shares made through the Canadian Securities Exchange, for as long as the CTO remains in effect; however, the CTO provides an exception for beneficial securityholders of the Company who are not currently (and who were not as of September 6, 2022) insiders or control persons of the Company and who sell securities of the Company acquired before September 6, 2022 if both of the following criteria are met: (i) the sale is made through a "foreign organized regulated market", as defined in section 1.1 of the Universal Market Integrity Rules of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada and (ii) the sale is made through an investment dealer registered in a jurisdiction of Canada in accordance with applicable securities legislation.  

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to remedy its filing default and have the CTO lifted in a timely manner or at all.

The Company is not currently subject to any insolvency proceedings. The Company also confirms that there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed as of the date of this press release.About Sproutly Canada, Inc.

Sproutly Announces CCAA Filing for THR Divestiture

VANCOUVER, BC, June 27, 2022 /CNW/ - Sproutly Canada, Inc. (CSE: SPR) (OTCQB: SRUTF) (FSE: 38G) ("Sproutly" or the "Company"), announced today that Toronto Herbal Remedies Inc. ("THR") and Sproutly's subsidiary, that holds the shares of THR, Sproutly Inc. (together the "Filers"), filed a petition with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for protection under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA") in order to restructure their business and financial affairs.  The Company and its other subsidiaries are not parties to the CCAA filing and will now focus solely on the commercialization of its APP technology.

After going through a time and resource consuming process to sell THR and the facility, careful consideration of available alternatives and consultation with legal and financial advisors, the directors of the Company decided that in the interest of the Company's shareholders, THR's divestiture should be carried out by a court appointed monitor under a CCAA filing.

The Initial Order includes, among other things: (i) a stay of proceedings in favour of the Filers; (ii) approval of a DIP (Debtor in Possession) Loan (as described below); and (iii) the appointment of BDO Canada Limited as monitor of the Filers (in such capacity, the "Monitor").  The Filers are seeking creditor protection under the CCAA in order to receive a stay of proceedings that will allow the Monitor to conduct a sale and investment solicitation process ("SISP") and facilitate a transaction.

Under the Initial Order, the Filers will operate in the ordinary course throughout the CCAA proceedings during the SISP. Management of the Filers will remain responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Filers, under the general  oversight of the Monitor.  The Filers' day-to-day obligations to employees and key suppliers of goods and services, from and after the filing date, will  be met using the DIP Loan.

In order to fund the CCAA proceedings, the SISP and other short term working capital requirements, the Filers have executed a term sheet with 0982244 BC Ltd. o/a Isle of Mann Property Group., on behalf of its clients (the "DIP Lender"), pursuant to which the DIP Lender will advance a debtor-in-possession loan in the amount of $750,000 (the "DIP Loan"). The DIP Loan is conditional on, among other things, the issuance of the Initial Order which has been granted.

The Company is not part of the CCAA proceedings.  The Company is the holder of the APP technology license from Infusion Biosciences for Canada, the EU, the UK, Australia, Israel and Jamaica.  The Company is transitioning from operating a licensed cannabis facility to a cannabis technology company, as evidenced by the plan for the Filers.  The Company will continue to partner with licensed producers to produce products utilizing the APP technology, which is capable of producing strain specific cannabis extracts, edible and beverage products.  The Company has one partnership agreement in place whereby the Company will produce its own branded products while actively pursuing further sublicensing and other such arrangements. 

"At this stage of Sproutly's evolution, our best path to capitalize on the APP technology and be able to produce innovative products required the sale of THR." said Dr. Arup Sen, Sproutly's CEO. "Especially in light of our progress in the newly formed joint venture with KCI, the execution of product development, manufacturing, and marketing in Canada requires a total focus on the operations of the joint venture and approaching prospective partners in the territories where Sproutly has rights to APP technology." he added.About Sproutly Canada, Inc.

Sproutly is positioning to become a leading supplier of proprietary cannabis ingredients, brands, and customized formulations for the cannabis beverage and edibles marketplaces in Canada, Europe, Australia, and other international markets. Our proprietary natural water-soluble Infuz2O and BioNatural Oils are designed to deliver true to strain whole plant experiences to new consumers and cannabis connoisseurs alike, ushering in the Cannabis 3.0 revolution. Sproutly will enter into partnerships with globally established consumer brands to leverage their existing customer bases, brand recognition, distribution networks to deliver this scientific breakthrough with speed and efficiency in major commercial territories around the world.

Sproutly Announces Expanded Relationship with Kingston Cannabis Inc.

/NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE US OR THROUGH US NEWSWIRE SERVICES/

VANCOUVER, BC, April 18, 2022 /CNW/ - Sproutly Canada, Inc. (CSE: SPR) (OTCQB: SRUTF) (FSE: 38G) ("Sproutly" or the "Company"), announces that it is expanding its commercial relationship with Kingston Cannabis Inc. ("KCI"), a Health Canada Licensed processor.

Sproutly and KCI have agreed to form a  joint venture ("JV") that will utilize the proprietary APP technology to produce proprietary, natural, whole plant extracts of cannabis and hemp which will be used to formulate, evaluate, manufacture, and sell beverage and edible products. Sproutly will grant the JV a license to use the APP technology to produce and sell the products in Canada and Australia, and may elect to expand to other countries in which Sproutly has exclusive rights to the APP technology. KCI will provide the licensed facility and operating services to the JV while Sproutly will provide the APP license, technical services and oversight. The parties will utilize the JV to jointly develop brands, market products, and share in JV profits.  Sproutly retains the rights to grant APP licenses to other licensed producers and KCI retains the right to produce and sell other products that do not use the APP technology. APP processing operations are being set up at KCI allowing the JV to produce the extracts and finished products at the same site in order to minimize the cost to produce.

"Expanding the scope of the existing Sproutly-KCI relationship with this JV is a show of our successful collaboration in formulating and evaluating beverages using APP extracts. The JV will now integrate APP processing and finished product manufacturing to avoid potential issues that arise from divided manufacturing and avoid duplication of some operational expenses", said Arup Sen, CEO and director of Sproutly. "We can now offer prospective partners a fully integrated flower-to-finished product service." he added.

"We are harmonizing our operations to move in stride and release next generation botanical products and packaging that will shape medicine and technology. Our combined work, detailed research, and significant experience will be critical to establishing growth within local cannabis markets as well as international medical avenues. We are excited to welcome these new ideas to fruition and materialize a successful future with our partners." Said Jonathan Pilon, President of KCI.

Sproutly Announces Filing of Application for Management Cease Trade Order

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE US OR THROUGH US NEWSWIRE SERVICES

June 22, 2021 08:54 PM Eastern Daylight Time

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sproutly Canada, Inc. (CSE: SPR) (OTCQB: SRUTF) (FSE: 38G) ("Sproutly" or the "Company") today that it will likely miss its filing deadline of June 28, 2021 to file audited annual financial statements and accompanying management's discussion and analysis and related CEO and CFO certificates for the financial year ended February 28, 2021 (collectively, the "Annual Filings"), as required under applicable Canadian securities laws.

In connection with the Company's inability to file the Annual Filings on time, the Company has applied for a Management Cease Trade Order ("MCTO") under National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP 12-203") and is waiting for the British Columbia Securities Commission approval.

The Company is applying for a MCTO as a result of complexities caused by COVID-19 pandemic, which impacted the Company's ability to complete the Annual Filings.

The Company expects to file the Annual Filings as soon as they are available, but in any event no later than July 12, 2021, and will issue a news release once the Annual Filings have been filed. Until the Company files the Annual Filings, it will comply with the alternative information guidelines set out in NP 12-203. The guidelines, among other things, require the Company to issue bi-weekly default status reports, in the form of news releases, for so long as the Annual Filings have not been filed.

During the MCTO, the general investing public will continue to be able to trade in the Company's common shares listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange. However, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and such other directors, officers and persons as determined by the applicable regulatory authorities will not be able to trade in the Company's shares, nor will the Company be able to, directly or indirectly, issue securities to or acquire securities from an insider or employee of the Company except in accordance with legally binding obligations to do so existing as of June 28, 2021, being the date of the Company’s anticipated continuous disclosure default.

The Company is not currently subject to any insolvency proceedings. If the Company provides any information to any of its creditors during the period in which it is in default of filing the Annual Filings, the Company confirms that it will also file material change reports on SEDAR containing such information.

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE US OR THROUGH US NEWSWIRE SERVICES

April 15, 2021 10:39 PM Eastern Daylight Time

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sproutly Canada, Inc. (CSE: SPR) (OTCQB: SRUTF) (FSE: 38G) (“Sproutly" or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that, further to its news release dated March 15, 2021, it has closed the second and final tranche of its financing. Under the final tranche of the private placement, the Company issued 15,916,037 units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of $0.05 per Unit for gross proceeds of approximately $795,802, with each Unit consisting of one common share and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire an additional common share at an exercise price of $0.07 for a period of two years from the date of issue.

All securities issued in connection with the private placement are subject to a four month and a day transfer restriction from the date of issuance. The placement was completed for the purposes of supporting the Company’s general working capital. The private placement is subject to the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange.

In connection with the private placement, in consideration for their services, the Company paid finder's fees in the amount of $22,500 through the issuance of 450,000 Units on the same terms as described above.

Under the private placement, Dr. Arup Sen, Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company, purchased 3,000,000 Units through a company controlled by Dr. Sen. His participation is considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). The transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the securities to be distributed in the private placement nor the consideration to be received for those securities, in so far as the private placement involves the insider, exceeds $2,500,000. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the private placement as the details of the private placement and the participation therein by related parties of the Company were not settled until shortly prior to closing and the Company wished to close on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sproutly Canada, Inc. (CSE: SPR) (OTCQB: SRUTF) (FRA: 38G) (“Sproutly" or the “Company”) today announced the Company’s financial results for the third quarter ended November 30, 2020.

"This was a significant quarter for us in that we received our Cannabis 2.0 sales license which then subsequently allowed us to sign two LOI’s as we further transition into a 2.0 product focused company,” said Dr. Arup Sen, Chief Executive Officer of Sproutly. “With the 2.0 license and these partnerships, we are ideally positioned to leverage our THR facility to produce differentiated cannabis and hemp products that use the natural water soluble and oil ingredients with our APP technology in Canada.”

Highlights for the Third Quarter Ended November 30, 2020

  • The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Toronto Herbal Remedies Inc., (“THR”), a licensed producer and processor under the Cannabis Act, received its cannabis extract sales license from Health Canada. THR is authorized to manufacture and sell Cannabis 2.0 products directly to provincial distributors and other authorized Canadian retail supply channels. THR’s ability to sell Cannabis 2.0 products allows it to utilize its licensed APP technology and offer the Company’s strain specific cannabis extracts, edible and beverage products in Canada through its existing provincial sales relationships.
  • THR entered into a cannabis supply agreement with the province of Ontario through the OCS. Ontario will be the 6th province in Canada to carry the Company’s CALIBER branded products, following Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and British Columbia earlier this year as well as Alberta and New Brunswick in 2019.
  • The Company amended the maturity date of its previously issued convertible debentures from October 24, 2020 to April 24, 2021 and reduced the conversion price from $0.105 to $0.06 per share.
  • The Company and Infusion Biosciences Inc. (“Infusion”) extended the maturity dates of both the $1 million private loan issued by Infusion to the Company on January 28, 2020, and the $855,000 private loan issued by Infusion to the Company on August 27, 2020, by six months to April 24, 2021.

Subsequent Events

  • The Company executed a Letter of Intent to enter into a commercial relationship with Cannabis Manufacturer’s Guild Ltd. (“CMG”). The agreement will allow Sproutly to expand and diversify its flower and Cannabis 2.0 product offerings utilizing brands developed by CMG and its affiliates (the “Acquired Products”), through THR. The agreement allows Sproutly to sell the Acquired Products and facilitate potential business-to-business sales of Sproutly’s proprietary whole plant extracts to CMG’s network of Guild members.
  • The Company executed a Letter of Intent to enter into a commercial relationship with CannaHive Inc. The agreement will allow the Company to further expand its Cannabis 2.0 product offerings at THR. Sproutly will leverage CannaHive’s proprietary manufacturing and packaging equipment and intellectual property to produce cannabis dissolvable powder at THR’s licensed facility. These relationships will provide synergies for the branding, commercialization, and distribution of a portfolio of cannabis products through THR’s existing agreements with multiple provinces in Canada.

Sproutly Announces Filing of Application for Management Cease Trade Order

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sproutly Canada, Inc.

In connection with the Company's inability to file the Interim Filings on time, the Company has applied for a Management Cease Trade Order (“MCTO”) under National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders (“NP 12-203”) and is waiting for the British Columbia Securities Commission approval.

The Company is applying for a MCTO as a result of complexities caused by COVID-19 pandemic, which initially impacted the Company’s ability to complete its audited annual financial statements and has consequently caused a delay in completion of the Interim Filings.

The Company expects to file the Interim Filings as soon as they are available, but in any event no later than October 16, 2020 and will issue a news release once the Interim Filings have been filed. Until the Company files the Interim Filings, it will comply with the alternative information guidelines set out in NP 12-203. The guidelines, among other things, require the Company to issue bi-weekly default status reports, in the form of news releases, for so long as the Interim Filings have not been filed.

During the MCTO, the general investing public will continue to be able to trade in the Company's common shares listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange. However, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and such other directors, officers and persons as determined by the applicable regulatory authorities will not be able to trade in the Company's shares, nor will the Company be able to, directly or indirectly, issue securities to or acquire securities from an insider or employee of the Company except in accordance with legally binding obligations to do so existing as of September 14, 2020, being the date of the Company’s anticipated continuous disclosure default.

The Company is not currently subject to any insolvency proceedings. If the Company provides any information to any of its creditors during the period in which it is in default of filing the Annual Financial Statements, the Company confirms that it will also file material change reports on SEDAR containing such information.

The Loan is evidenced by a secured convertible debenture (the “Convertible Debenture”) that provides the Lender with the right to convert the principal and accrued interest of the Loan into units of the Company (the “Debt Units”) at a conversion price of $0.07per Debt Unit, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Debenture (the “Conversion Price”). Each Debt Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the Lender to acquire one Common Share (a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price equal to $0.08for a period of two years from date of issuance.

As a condition of the Loan, the Company agreed to amend terms included in the $1 million private loan (the “Original loan”) from the Lender, which was previously announced on January 28, 2020. The Original Loan carried an interest rate of 10% per annum accruing and compounding monthly, payable on the Maturity Date. The Original Loan is evidenced by a secured convertible debenture that provided the Lender with the right to convert the principal of the Original Loan into units (the “Original Units”) of the Company at a conversion price of $0.19 per Original Unit. As a result of the amendment, the interest rate has been amended to 15% effective as of the date of the amendment and the conversion price has been reduced to $0.07 per Original Unit. Each Original Unit consists of one Common Share and one Warrant, with each Warrant entitling the Lender to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price equal to $0.08 for a period of two years from date of issuance.

Private Placement

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has completed a non-brokered private placement of 1,500,000 units of the Company (the “Equity Units”), at a price of $0.07 per Equity Unit to raise gross proceeds of $105,000 (the “Private Placement”). Each Equity Unit consists of one Common Share and one Warrant, with each Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one Warrant Share at an exercise price equal to $0.08for a period of two years from date of issuance.

No finder’s fees were paid in connection with the Private Placement. The Company anticipates using the proceeds of the Private Placement to support the Company’s general working capital.

Debt Settlement

In addition, the Company has completed a settlement of outstanding current debt (the “Debt Settlement”) of the Company in the amount of $180,000 (the “Debt”), pursuant to the terms of a debt settlement agreement with an arm’s length creditor (the “Creditor”). In settlement of the Debt, the Company has issued 1,800,000 Common Shares (the “Settlement Shares”) at a price of $0.10 per Settlement Share.

The Debt was completely extinguished upon the issuance of the Settlement Shares. The Creditor voluntarily elected to satisfy the Debt with the Settlement Shares in lieu of cash payment, which will allow the Company to preserve its cash for future operations.

All securities issued in connection with the Debt Financing, Private Placement and Debt Settlement will be subject to a four-month and one day hold period from their date of issue under applicable Canadian securities laws, in addition to such other restrictions as may apply under applicable securities laws of jurisdictions outside Canada.

Sproutly Announces Filing of Application for Management Cease Trade Order

Not for Dissemination in the US or Through US Newswire Services

August 04, 2020 09:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sproutly Canada, Inc. (CSE:SPR) (OTCQB:SRUTF) (FSE:38G) (“Sproutly" or the “Company”) will likely miss its filing deadline of August 12, 2020 to file annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying management's discussion and analysis and related CEO and CFO certificates for the financial period ended February 29, 2020 (collectively, the “Annual Filings”), as required under applicable Canadian securities laws.

In connection with the Company's inability to file the Annual Filings on time, the Company has applied for a Management Cease Trade Order (“MCTO”) under National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders (“NP 12-203”) and is waiting for the British Columbia Securities Commission approval.

The Company is applying for a MCTO as a result of complexities caused by COVID-19 pandemic, which has impacted the Company’s ability to complete its audit.

The Company expects to file the Annual Filings as soon as they are available, but in any event no later than August 28, 2020 and will issue a news release once the Annual Filings have been filed. Until the Company files the Annual Filings, it will comply with the alternative information guidelines set out in NP 12-203. The guidelines, among other things, require the Company to issue bi-weekly default status reports, in the form of news releases, for so long as the Annual Filings have not been filed.

During the MCTO, the general investing public will continue to be able to trade in the Company's common shares listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange. However, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and such other directors, officers and persons as determined by the applicable regulatory authorities will not be able to trade in the Company's shares, nor will the Company be able to, directly or indirectly, issue securities to or acquire securities from an insider or employee of the Company except in accordance with legally binding obligations to do so existing as of August 12, 2020, being the date of the Company’s anticipated continuous disclosure default.

The Company is not currently subject to any insolvency proceedings. If the Company provides any information to any of its creditors during the period in which it is in default of filing the Annual Financial Statements, the Company confirms that it will also file material change reports on SEDAR containing such information.

First Quarter Fiscal 2021 Financial Results

The Company also provided an update on the status of the filing of its fiscal 2021 first quarter financial results and accompanying management’s discussion and analysis for the period ended May 30, 2020 (collectively, the "Q1 Disclosure Documents"), which were initially required to be filed by July 30, 2020 under NI 51-102.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company will be relying on the coordinated relief provided by the securities regulators which consists of a 45-day extension for certain periodic filings, as announced by the Canadian Securities Administrators (“CSA”) on May 20, 2020. The Company will rely on the exemption granted under BC Instrument 51-515 – Temporary Exemption from Certain Corporate Finance Requirements with respect to the Q1 Disclosure Documents.

At this time, the Company expects to file its Q1 Disclosure Documents by September 14, 2020.

There have been no material business developments since the filing of the Company’s third quarter financial statements and associated management’s discussion and analysis for the nine months ended November 30, 2019 that have not been otherwise disclosed by the Company by way of news release.

Additionally, the Company advises that management and other insiders of the Company are subject to a trading black-out policy as described, in principle, in section 9 of National Policy 11-207, Failure to-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions.

Not for Dissemination in the US or Through US Newswire

Announces a substantial change to its business strategy to focus on its proprietary APP Technology for Cannabis 2.0 opportunities and away from the capital-intensive cannabis cultivation business

Dr. Arup Sen, CEO of Infusion Biosciences, Chief Science Officer of Sproutly Canada Inc. and inventor of the APP Technology, is appointed as CEO of Sproutly to implement the Business Transformation Plan

Explores strategic alternatives with respect to its cultivation facility that is a Licensed Producer under the Cannabis Act of Health Canada

Secures an additional capital investment from Infusion Biosciences, owner of the APP technology and the largest shareholder of Sproutly

Continues discussions with Moosehead Breweries to restructure the agreement focusing on Infuz2O sales, eliminating capital investment by Sproutly, and allowing broad commercialization of the APP technology via formulation and sale of unique custom ingredients for cannabis products

Implements cost-cutting initiatives that better aligns its expenses with current market conditions, including a reduction of staff by approximately 75%

May 14, 2020 10:10 PM Eastern Daylight Time

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sproutly Canada, Inc. (CSE:SPR) (OTCQB:SRUTF) (FSE:38G) (“Sproutly” or the “Company”) announces a business transformation plan that will shift the Company’s resources away from cannabis cultivation to focus on the commercialization of its proprietary APP Technology (the “Business Transformation Plan”). As part of the implementation of the Business Transformation Plan, Infusion Biosciences Inc. (“Infusion Biosciences”) has committed to further investment into the Company and to provide additional human capital resources to execute on the new plan.

Business Transformation Plan

The Business Transformation Plan includes:

Transforming the business strategy into an ‘asset light’ technology model focused on generating revenues via technology licensing, ingredient supply agreements, and partnership opportunities;

Scaling down the Company’s capital-intensive business of cultivating cannabis to significantly reduce cash burn;

Assessing strategic alternatives for the Company’s THR facility, which may include an outright sale;

Appointing Dr. Arup Sen as CEO to implement the Business Transformation Plan;

Commitment form Infusion Biosciences’ to allocate key personnel to implement Sproutly’s new business strategy; and,

Reducing existing corporate and operational staff to reduce cash expenses.

Revised Business Strategy

The Business Transformation Plan is a response to persistent industry headwinds and operational challenges that have made owning and operating a small scale cannabis cultivation facility cost prohibitive. Under the Business Transformation Plan, the Company’s core focus will be on commercializing the APP Technology via the production, formulation, and sale of specialized ingredients made using proprietary water soluble cannabinoids (“Infuz2O”) and Bio-Natural Oils (“BNO”). Sproutly’s strategy will be to leverage the existing infrastructure and distribution networks of Licensed Producers selling Cannabis 2.0 products in Canada and similar products in other jurisdictions.

Sproutly had previously allocated significant capital and human resources to its cannabis cultivation business, which has been an impediment to the launch of its Cannabis 2.0 products.

Cost Cutting Initiatives and Addition of Infusion Biosciences’ Personnel

Given the current market environment, the Company believes it is prudent to reduce costs substantially to minimize cash expenses. The Company’s proactive response includes an already implemented reduction in its staffing by 75% and cutback in cultivation output. These initiatives have eased Sproutly’s capital requirements while it assesses and pursues strategic alternatives related to THR.

Infusion Biosciences will contribute up to six of its key personnel to lead and assist in the day-to-day operations of Sproutly. These key personnel have succeeded in forming partnerships and licensing for APP technology in the United States where Sproutly does not hold the rights to APP technology. This allocation of human capital is expected to increase the organization’s capabilities to accelerate Sproutly’s commercialization efforts.

Strategic Alternatives Process for the Cultivation Facility

The industry is facing significant headwinds related to challenging market conditions for cannabis flower in Canada. The impact of COVID-19 has further exaggerated these negative headwinds for the Company’s cannabis cultivation business. As such, Sproutly has undertaken a thorough review of its business operations in response to these conditions and has begun exploring strategic alternatives for its cultivation facility.

Given Sproutly’s revised business strategy is not dependent on owning a cultivation facility or the accompanying Health Canada licenses the strategic alternatives may include the sale of the facility.

The Company will provide customary updates from time to time as this process advances.

Appointment of New CEO

Dr. Arup Sen has been appointed Chief Executive Offer of Sproutly. Dr. Sen is the inventor of the APP Technology and was the first scientist to discover naturally water soluble cannabinoids in cannabis plants.

Keith Dolo will step down from the Board of Directors and as Chief Executive Officer, to assume a role as Strategic Advisor to the chairman of the Board of Directors.

“Our primary objective has always been to bring the APP Technology and unique, standalone products to market,” said Keith Dolo. “This business transformation is yet another step towards streamlining our strategy to focus on the technology and what sets us apart. As I step into the new role as Strategic Advisor, I look forward to the leadership and guidance that Dr. Sen will provide to the organization.”

“Having Keith’s continued support is extremely helpful, and I look forward to seeing us unleash the potential for our technology, both under this re-focused approach and the expertise of Dr Sen,” said Con Constandis, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sproutly.

Dr. Sen is the CEO of Infusion Biosciences and the inventor of the APP Technology. His business career started in the biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industry in 1982. He has managed R&D, intellectual property strategy and corporate development (negotiating and managing licenses and joint ventures) with domestic and international companies (J&J, Biomet, GCC and Tokuyama Soda of Japan, Sandoz/Novartis and others). He also has taken three companies from start-up through public trading and has served as the CEO of public and private companies. He received his Ph.D. in biochemistry from Princeton University. Dr. Sen has also had more than a decade long academic career as a faculty member at the National Cancer Institute (Bethesda, Maryland) and at the Scripps Research Institute (La Jolla, California) focused on cancer research. Dr. Sen has published several dozen papers in top ranking international journals and authored a book on bone diseases. He is an inventor on a number of US patents and numerous international patents and pending patent applications in the fields of cancer therapeutics, bone repair biologics, medical therapeutic devices, and molecular diagnostics.

Infusion Biosciences Investment

Infusion Biosciences has provided a letter of intent to invest up to an additional $855,000. The investment will be made by way of issuance of convertible debentures (the “Convertible Debentures”). The Convertible Debentures will bear an accrued interest rate of 15% and be exchangeable into units at a price of $0.07 per unit (the “Units”). The Units consist of one common share and one common share purchase warrant, with each warrant allowing the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.08.

Moosehead Update

Given the change of strategy to become an ingredient supplier to the cannabis industry, the Company is in discussions with Moosehead Breweries Inc. (“Moosehead”) to restructure the beverage partnership from the previously announced 50/50 joint venture into a non-exclusive licensing or supply agreement for Infuz2O. Under any revised agreement, the new structure will need to be compliant with all relevant Health Canada guidelines and will require Moosehead to utilize a Health Canada licensed co-packing manufacturer for the production of cannabis infused beverages.

The benefits to the Company of a revised structure include:

  • eliminating the need for additional capital investment by Sproutly;
  • reducing dependence of Infuz2O sales on one customer to launch products;
  • diversifying the customer base, from one customer/ brand to potentially multiple customers/ brands;
  • improving the working capital cycle by earning upfront revenues from sales of Infuz2O versus solely relying on profit share based joint venture structures; and,
  • Broadening potential revenue streams by providing formulation work under a fee-for-service model.

About Sproutly Canada, Inc.

Sproutly’s core objective is to become the leading supplier of unique ingredients and customized formulations to the cannabis beverage and edibles market. Our water-soluble Infuz2O and BioNatural Oils will deliver revolutionary brands to international markets that are striving to produce differentiated consumer products. Sproutly’s business focus is to execute on partnerships with local and globally established consumer brands to leverage their existing customer bases, further expand brand loyalty, assist with marketing, and support distribution networks to deliver this scientific breakthrough with speed and efficiency worldwide.

Sproutly Announces Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2020

VANCOUVER, B.C., January 29, 2020 – Sproutly Canada, Inc. (CSE: SPR) (FRA: 38G) (OTCQB: SRUTF) (“Sproutly" or the “Company”) today announced the Company’s financial results for the third quarter ended November 30, 2019.  

"Our third quarter saw us receive our Flower Sales Licence from Health Canada effective October 16, 2019.  That was a key milestone for us as a Company, and we quickly followed that up by signing supply agreements with Alberta and New Brunswick.” said Keith Dolo, Chief Executive Officer of Sproutly.  “We were able to execute on shipments to both provinces prior to the end of calendar 2019, providing adult recreational cannabis consumers in both provinces the opportunity to enjoy CALIBER’s craft, indoor-grown Berry White and Lemon Z strains. Our focus now is to execute on these agreements while rightsizing our cost structure in order to move towards positive cash flow and deliver on our plans of becoming a leader in the cannabis infused product category.” 

Highlights for the Third Quarter Ended November 30, 2019 

• Toronto Herbal Remedies (“THR”) (the Company’s wholly-owned licensed cannabis producer), received its sales license for cannabis flower from Health Canada.  The Flower Sales License will allow THR to sell dried cannabis flower products provincially and territorially in Canada through authorised distributors and retailers. The sales will commence through the launch of Sproutly’s premium cannabis brand CALIBER.

• Infusion Biosciences Inc. (“Infusion”) and BNO Holdings Inc. (“BNO Holdings”) developed and verified analytical methods that detect, identify, and measure cannabinoid molecules in water-soluble (“Infuz2O”) and oil preparations (“Bio-Natural Oil”) derived from cannabis and hemp using APP Technology (collectively, the “Developed Analytics”). APP Technology is a patent pending process that uses proprietary reagents to recover naturally occurring water-soluble cannabinoids as well as the cannabis oils.

• The Company expanded its operations with a new manufacturing facility in close proximity to the THR production facility in Scarborough, Ontario. The additional property allows the Company to continue to centralize operations in the Greater Toronto Area, as well as providing manufacturing capabilities for its proprietary reagents, a key input for the APP Technology cannabinoid recovery process.

Subsequent Events

• THR entered into a cannabis standing offer contract with the province of Alberta 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’. 

• THR has also entered into a cannabis supply agreement in the province of New Brunswick through Cannabis NB (“CNB”) as of December 5th, 2019. 

• The Company delivered its first shipment of CALIBER flower to both ALGC and CNB, marking its entrance into Canada’s recreational cannabis market. 

• The Company has reduced its administrative staff and overhead costs in order to better align expenses with revenues and move closer towards positive cash flow to ensure viability for the Company in the long term.

Management Reorganization

The Company's President, Mr. Bryan Semkuley, will be transitioning his role to a strategic advisor.  Mr. Semkuley’s duties will be assumed by the Company's CEO, Keith Dolo.

Karin Studer, Chief Operating Officer, is also transition her role in the organization to focus on the regulatory and licensing steps required within Cannabis 2.0 as Sproutly prepares for these products, both internally and within the Moosehead Joint Venture. Dr. Arup Sen, Chief Science Officer, will assume the consolidated role of both Science and Operations at the Ontario facility.

“These changes will allow Sproutly to reduce monthly expenses and create an organization that operates more efficiently.  As we ramp up production of our CALIBER Brand, as well as look to the finalization and launch of the Moosehead Joint Venture, this new structure will allow us to operate a leaner organization that can narrowly focus in on driving revenue in 2020.” commented Keith Dolo, CEO of Sproutly Canada Inc.

Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis

The Company’s unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and accompanying notes as at and for the quarter ended November 30, 2019, and the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis for the three months ended November 30, 2019 are available under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Sproutly Provides Business Update on the Moosehead Joint Venture for Cannabis Beverages

VANCOUVER, BC, October 8, 2019 – Sproutly Canada, Inc. (CSE: SPR) (OTCQB: SRUTF) (FSE: 38G) (“Sproutly" or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on: 1) its previously announced joint venture with OCC Holdings Ltd., an affiliate of Moosehead Breweries Limited (“Moosehead”) (the “Joint Venture” or, the “JV”); and, 2) in respect of progress made to-date in the development of cannabis-infused beverages intended for sale in the Canadian market via Toronto Herbal Remedies Inc. (“THR”), Sproutly’s Health Canada licensed cannabis producer (the “Infused Beverages”).

“In the past five months, significant resources have been dedicated towards creating a portfolio of Infused Beverages that will be ready for consumers following legalization in Canada.” said Matthew Oland, CEO of the Joint Venture. “On May 1, 2019, I took over the leadership of the initiative. To date, we have made significant strides in developing the brand strategy, products, packaging, manufacturing, and logistics for the Infused Beverages. I am confident in our ability to deliver a great tasting beverage to Canadians that provides a controlled, strain specific, cannabis experience utilizing Sproutly’s naturally water soluble cannabinoids known as Infuz20. Infuz20 has proven to deliver the cannabis effects in less than 5 minutes with the experience lasting up to 90 minutes, as advertised. We are eager to bring our beverages to market showcasing the finished Infused Beverages utilizing such a truly unique technology.”

“Although the legal framework of the Joint Venture has taken longer than expected, both Moosehead and Sproutly have allocated significant resources to the Joint Venture since the announcement in May 2019. As a result, there has been substantial progress made on the business and product development of Infused Beverages. With Matthew’s extensive leadership and experience in the beverage category, we are well down the path on branding and formulating beverages. APP Technology has given us the ability to fast-track our beverage development process as we do not have the same technology and formulation challenges as processes that require chemical formulation on extracted cannabis oils.” said Keith Dolo, Sproutly’s Chief Executive Officer. “We look forward to completing the remaining legal documents to implement the Joint Venture and to announcing the name of the Joint Venture.”

Matthew Oland, one of Moosehead’s senior executives and Oland family member, has relinquished his former responsibilities at Moosehead to assume the role of Chief Executive Officer of the Joint Venture as of May 1, 2019. Moosehead has assigned additional staff and resources to support Mr. Oland in the development and operation of the Joint Venture. 

The Infused Beverages will initially target the casual and canna-curious consumer with a premium beverage product that is a non-smokable cannabis alternative to traditional edibles and beverages that have inherent onset and offset challenges. With Sproutly’s Infuz2O and Moosehead’s adult beverage formulation expertise, the JV's Infused Beverages will deliver a great taste profile with little to no cannabis aroma or flavour impact. In addition to the desirable flavour and aroma characteristics, Infuz2O provides several other attractive formulation and experience benefits as compared to traditional oil-based beverage solutions, including:

• almost instant cannabis experience onset of 5 minutes or less (vs. 30+ minutes for traditional oil-based emulsion and nano-encapsulation technologies);

• efficient and controllable cannabis experience offset of 60-90 minutes (vs. 2+ hours for traditional oil-based emulsion and nano-encapsulation technologies);

• all-natural water-soluble cannabis extract without the use of chemicals or detergents as used in emulsion and nano-encapsulation technologies;

• whole plant extract with strain-specific features, allowing the ability to create beverages and edibles that deliver the strain experience without smoking the flower; and, 

• when infused in beverages, the lack of pronounced cannabis taste, aroma, or sediment.

Joint Venture Business Development Highlights

Sproutly and Moosehead, in its capacity as a branding, marketing, and logistics partner, have significantly progressed the business of the Joint Venture since the signing of the JV Agreement on April 30, 2019. Select Joint Venture business development highlights are outlined below:

Brand Development

• Leveraged Moosehead’s existing relationship with an award-winning branding & design agency to develop a brand name, logo, identity and architecture as well as a strategy for positioning the Joint Venture in the market.

• Created a corporate name and secured corresponding website domains and commenced website development.

Product Development 

• Utilized Moosehead’s product development experience and relationship with a leading global flavour and ingredient solutions company to lead the beverage base formulation.

• Completed several rounds of product formulation testing, including:

• Testing of beverage base to determine desired flavor profiles, sweetness, colour, and calorie targets;

• Exploring an array of THC mg dosages utilizing Infuz2O; and, 

• Utilizing both Indica and Sativa cannabis strains to determine desired strain-specific characteristics.

• Evaluated numerous packaging (bottles and cans) and labeling options. 

• Engaged a third-party market research firm to help refine product development and branding through consumer research and product concept testing to explore end-user preferences.

Go-To-Market Strategy

• Completed an initial round of presentations to provincial cannabis regulatory agencies and a selection of private retailers to identify and assess initial launch markets.

• Leveraging Moosehead and Sproutly in-house resources to develop a detailed go-to-market strategy including provincial market preferences, pricing and product positioning strategies.

• In collaboration with a top-tier brand and marketing agency, commenced preliminary planning for a marketing strategy including a strategy for potential in-store activation, education, communication and merchandising.

Manufacturing, Logistics & Operations

• Determined that THR will utilize third-party contract manufacturers (co-packers) for the manufacturing of its initial products due to the Health Canada regulations requiring the segregation of cannabis-infused beverages from alcoholic beverage production.

• Assessed potential co-packers for the manufacture of initial products and commenced discussions with preferred providers.

• Initiated and continue discussion with provincial cannabis regulatory agencies to determine supply chain logistics to inform the go-to-market strategies including supply-chain and national product distribution.

• Evaluated a number of third-party distribution companies for shipping and logistics services.

Implementation of the Joint Venture

Following the signing of the binding definitive joint venture agreement on April 30, 2019, (the “JV Agreement”), Moosehead and Sproutly commenced the process of preparing and settling of the various agreements required for the implementation of the Joint Venture (the “Implementation Documents”). These Implementation Documents include, but are not limited to, a shareholders agreement, brand licensing agreements, supply agreement and co-packing agreement. The parties continue to work diligently to complete the Implementation Documents.

Infusion Biosciences Develops Breakthrough Testing Methods to Detect Cannabinoids in Water Solutions to Meet Food and Safety Standards

VANCOUVER,BC, September 10, 2019– Sproutly Canada, Inc. (CSE: SPR) (OTCQB: SRUTF) (FSE: 38G) (“Sproutly" or the “Company”) announced today that Infusion Biosciences Inc. (“Infusion”) and BNO Holdings Inc. (“BNO Holdings”)have developed and verified analytical methods that detect, identify, and measure cannabinoid molecules in water-soluble (“Infuz2O”) and oil preparations (“Bio-Natural Oil”) derived from cannabis and hemp using APP Technology (collectively, the “Developed Analytics”). APP Technology isa patent pending process that uses proprietary reagents to recover naturally occurring water-soluble cannabinoids as well as the cannabis oils. 

The proprietary methods for the Developed Analytics were created and refined during the past year through the work of Sproutly’s Chief Science Officer and Director Dr. Arup Sen in collaboration with state certified US testing laboratories. The delivery of the Developed Analytics satisfies Sproutly’s Earn Out Milestones (defined below) in the Acquisition Agreements (defined below) dated August 1, 2018 for the purchase of Infusion Biosciences Canada Inc. and SSM Partners Inc.

The cannabis industry has faced challenges in testing and measuring cannabinoid content in water formulations fortified with marijuana ingredients. Standard analytical methods used today for the detection and quantitation of cannabinoids had been designed for isolated oils and lack the ability to reliably measure cannabinoid contents in finished edible and beverage products. Correctly and reproducibly measuring the potency of bioactive cannabinoids in recreational, health and wellness, and medicinal beverage products is critical for successful marketing of these products in compliance with applicable food safety standards. 

Dr. Arup Sen and Infusion have been successful in developing a proprietary method for processing Infuz2O preparations in order to detect tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”), cannabidiol (“CBD”) and several other cannabinoids. The proprietary process allows for independent third-party testing laboratories to prepare the cannabis and hemp samples of Infuz2O so that analytical methods used by these laboratories can then detect and measure the natural water-soluble cannabinoids. The results obtained in collaboration with third-party laboratories utilized for this researchverify the predicted levels of cannabinoids recovered by APP Technology in Infuz2O.

Furthermore, lab result comparisons of cannabinoid profiles of the cannabis biomass before and after each step of APP Technology have revealed no detectable change in composition of the major cannabinoids and no indication of selective separation of cannabinoids from biomass in either Infuz2O or Bio-Natural Oil. Additional chemical tests carried out during this research further confirmed the molecular identity of cannabinoids in Infuz2O and Bio-Natural Oils to be the same as standard cannabinoid molecules. 

Sproutly intends to provide technical guidance to qualified third-party testing laboratories in order to enable them to analyze Infuz2O products to meet applicable regulatory authority requirements for commercial sale of Sproutly’s products.

 “The ability to test for cannabinoids in water formulations has been unreliable for cannabis beverages globally due to the existing testing standards and practices,” said Dr. Arup Sen, Chief Science Officer and Director of Sproutly. “With ever increasing food-safety standards that need to be met for cannabis beverage and edible products, the completion of our research and the Developed Analytics are significant milestones in the commercialization of APP Technology; this is another step forward towards reliable and accurate testing for ingestible cannabis products.”

Earn Out

Further to its news release dated August 1, 2018, and in accordance with the acquisition agreements whereby the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Infusion Biosciences Canada Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Infusion Biosciences Inc.) and SSM Partners Inc. (together, the "AcquisitionAgreements"), the Earn Out Milestones (defined herein) were completed as of September 7, 2019 (the "Payment Date"). The earn-out milestones being the receipt of results for analysis of cannabinoids for water soluble and oil preparations derived with APP Technology, which results encompass analytical data that meet the regulatory requirements for the commercial sale of products in a Sproutly acquired jurisdiction (the “Earn Out Milestones”). In accordance with the provisions of the Acquisition Agreements Infusion Biosciences Inc. received 14,743,070 common shares and BNO Holdings (the former shareholder of SSM Partners Inc.) received 22,114,605 common shares of the Company (collectively, the “Earn Out Shares”). The Earn Out Shares are subject to the same escrow restrictions as the shares held by the Company management.

About APP Technology

APP Technology is a patent pending process that uses proprietary reagents to recover naturally occurring water-soluble cannabinoids as well as the free cannabinoid lipids in two separate products. Psychoactive effects of naturally water-soluble cannabinoids, known as ‘Infuz20’, start within approximately 5 minutes and dissipate within approximately 90 minutes; this pattern is more similar to drinking a glass of wine or a beer than consuming traditional cannabis oils. Similar to Infuz2O, free complete spectrum cannabinoid oils called ‘Bio-Natural Oil’ deliver the effects of the strain of cannabis from which it is made.

About Sproutly Canada, Inc.

Sproutly is a vertically integrated cannabis products company, powered by proprietary technology and licensed to cultivate and manufacture cannabis derived products under the Cannabis Act. Utilizing the proprietary APP Technology, the Company is able to produce Infuz­2O, the first naturally water-soluble cannabinoids in water solutions, and Bio-Natural Oil,a natural strain-specific cannabis oil. Sproutly’s indoor cultivation and processing facility is strategically located in Greater Toronto Area. The facility is designed to produce high-quality cannabis and house the initial APP Technology extraction operations. The Company’s mission is to advance the cannabis beverage and edibles market and become a leader in the category with its breakthrough products, in-house brand portfolio and partnerships with leading established consumer product brands.

Sproutly will host a conference call with Keith Dolo, CEO, Sproutly Canada and Matthew Oland, Moosehead Breweries executive and incoming CEO of the JV, at 9:30am Eastern Time on May 1, 2019.

Joint Venture Highlights:

Partnership with the Oldest and Largest Independent Brewery in Canada

  • Over 152 years of brewing experience through six generations of family ownership 

  • More than 140 million cans/bottles of beer sold annually throughout Canada, the United States and in 15 other countries around the world

  • Oland family’s proven ability in building, marketing and selling industry leading beers such as Moosehead Lager, Moosehead Radler, Alpine, and Hop City Barking Squirrel

Competitive Advantage Driven by Infuz2O

  • The JV beverages can deliver the cannabis effect as early as 5 minutes and last up to 90 minutes, providing an edible cannabis experience similar to traditional flower cannabis without the need to inhale smoke

  • Ability to address the industry challenges of overconsumption of oil-based edibles and beverages

  • Capability to produce a clear cannabis beverage that is much easier and faster to formulate than its competitors who will be using emulsifiers, encapsulation or chemical modification techniques

  • Ability to deliver functional beverages that address a “need state” by producing cannabis strain specific experiences 

  • Natural Infuz2O process allows for a premium consumption experience and taste profile 

JV Well Positioned to Enter Cannabis Beverages Upon Legalization 

  • Moosehead’s beverage experience and R&D formulation capabilities will ensure that the cannabis beverages produced will be premium in quality and have a great taste profile

  • Moosehead’s established operational infrastructure will allow the Joint Venture to fast track its go-to-market strategy

  • Sproutly’s cultivation facility and processing license will advance the formulation work that has already been completed to date

  • The Joint Venture is structured as a 50/50 equity ownership

  • Moosehead to provide infrastructure support such as R&D, operations, procurement, finance, and distribution

  • JV will have exclusive rights to utilize Infuz2O for cannabis beverages for a period of 5 years with a possible 2-year extension 

  • Ability for the JV to enter the European market once recreational cannabis use is legalized

“With the anticipated legalization of edibles in Canada later this year, Moosehead has made the strategic decision to enter the cannabis beverage market. As one of the oldest brands in Canada and a leader in the beer category, we believe we are uniquely positioned to be a leader in the cannabis beverage category.” said Andrew Oland, Chief Executive Officer of Moosehead. “As a 152-year-old company spanning six generations, we are very selective about new business opportunities. After a significant amount of due diligence on Sproutly’s APP technology and Infuz2O water soluble cannabinoids vs other competitive technologies, we are excited to announce this joint venture. With their advanced technology and our long-standing product development experience, we expect to bring to Canadian consumers cannabis beverages that address the major issues currently limiting appeal of this category in other markets; a beverage that: 1) actually tastes good; and 2) provides an immediate and controllable cannabis experience lasting up to 90 minutes.”

“Moosehead is a truly iconic brand and we are very excited to partner with a company that possesses such deep-rooted Canadian heritage and over 152 years of history in the beer industry. Partnering with a company of this caliber is a strong validation of APP Technology and Infuz20.” commented Keith Dolo, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Sproutly. “This partnership with Moosehead marks an important milestone in Sproutly’s mission of delivering a safe and consistent whole plant experience from cannabis, with a lead position in the beverage market. We have developed a relationship with Moosehead built on trust and our shared vision of creating safe, responsible and high-quality cannabis beverages and we look forward to making this a reality for Canadian consumers”, added Dolo.

“After careful analysis of the cannabis industry and the cannabis beverage opportunity in Canada, we believe that Moosehead and Sproutly together are well positioned to become a significant player in the category.” said Matthew Oland, incoming Chief Executive Officer of the Joint Venture. “The JV’s ability to leverage Moosehead’s rich history of building adult-beverage brands, and its established R&D and operational infrastructure, will enable the JV to bring great tasting cannabis beverages to Canadian consumers. The Infuz20 technology delivers a natural cannabis beverage experience, with an onset and offset time similar to traditional flower cannabis, without the need for chemical modification. We believe this will be a game changer for the sector.” 

Terms of the Joint Venture

The Joint Venture will be structured as a standalone company with its own board of directors and management team. Sproutly and Moosehead will each hold a 50% interest in the JV and have the right to nominate 3 directors. Moosehead shall appoint the Chief Executive Officer and Sproutly shall appoint the Chairperson of the board of directors of the JV. 

Sproutly will provide Infuz20 exclusively to the Joint Venture in Canada for the purpose of producing cannabis beverages (excluding hemp) for a period of 5 years (the “Exclusivity Period”), such Exclusivity Period being subject to a potential extension based on the Joint Venture reaching certain revenue targets.

The formation of the Joint Venture is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the execution and delivery of various transaction agreements, governance documents and supply agreements. The parties expect to form the Joint Venture on or before May 31, 2019.

About Moosehead Breweries Ltd. 

In 1867, the Oland family – led by matriarch Susannah Oland – began brewing and selling October Brown Ale on the family farm located on the Dartmouth shore of the Halifax Harbour. What started as a small brewery, grew with grit and determination throughout time as the commitment to brewing quality beer passed on from generation to generation. Located in Saint John, New Brunswick, Moosehead Breweries is the last major brewery in Canada owned by Canadians. Now in its sixth generation of ownership, the Oland family’s passion for beer has helped them steer Moosehead through devastating fires, Prohibition, the Great Depression, two world wars, obstructive trade barriers, and bruising competition from breweries 100 times its size. As Canada’s oldest and largest independent brewer, the company stands committed to the same values that transformed a small brewery in Saint John, NB into a Canadian icon of resilience. Moosehead sells its beer throughout Canada, the United States and in 15 other countries around the world under its 14 wholly-owned and 8 partner brands.

Sproutly Receives Processing License From Health Canada

VANCOUVER, BC, April 1, 2019 – 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 Inc. (“THR”), a licensed producer under the Cannabis Act, has received a processing licence from Health Canada effective March 29, 2019 (the “Processing License”). The Processing License allows THR to produce cannabis oil and related products and will also allow the Company to conduct certain research and development activities, including the formulation of proprietary beverage products.

“We are making steady progress towards achieving Sproutly’s mission of delivering a safe and consistent whole plant experience from cannabis, with a lead position in the beverage market. The Processing License grant is a major milestone towards the path to commercializing our cannabis beverages and other edible products. Specifically, for cannabis beverages, we can now continue to advance our formulation work at our own production facility as we prepare for the legalization of cannabis beverages later this year,” said Keith Dolo, CEO & Director. “Our plan is to deliver cannabis beverages that will not only look and taste great, but also where consumers will feel the cannabis effects within five minutes and dissipate within 90 minutes. With Infuz2O’s fast onset and fast offset characteristics the experience is more similar to drinking a beer, compared to traditional cannabis oils that have an unpredictable, multi-hour experience.”

“We have completed a substantial amount of formulation work to-date with our proprietary, naturally produced, water soluble cannabinoids, which we have named Infuz2O. With the grant of our Processing License, we can extend formulation development work with the cannabis strains which we plan on utilizing in our cannabis beverages in Canada.  It also allows us to perform the required shelf-stability and other necessary testing to be ready for the legalization of cannabis beverages later this year,” commented Dr. Arup Sen, Chief Science Officer & Director. “In addition to the anticipated launch of our cannabis beverages utilizing Infuz2O, we are equally excited about commercializing products containing our Bio Natural Oils, which provide substantially different characteristics than other oil-based products on the market today. Our Bio Natural Oils deliver the full-spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes of the strain from which they are made, and thus empower the consumers to enjoy the experience of their preferred strain of choice in an edible form” he added.

About APP Technology

APP Technology is a proprietary process exclusively licensed from Infusion Biosciences Inc. (“Infusion Biosciences Inc.”) for certain jurisdictions. The technology is able to gently recover both the water-soluble bioactive materials as well as the plant’s oil-based materials and other phytochemicals present in the plant which include beneficial terpenes, vitamins, micronutrients and other plant oils. The technology uses a patent pending process, proprietary reagents and trade-secrets to accomplish this. APP Technology produces two unique finished ingredients from cannabis and hemp plants: 

  • Infuz2O– A naturally water-soluble cannabis solution which fully dissolves in water and can be directly added in beverage formulations to deliver the effects of cannabis with a fast onset time of less than 5 minutes, clearing (offset) within 90 minutes; and,

  • Bio Natural Oil – Cannabinoid oils directly infused into natural oils for edibles or topical application while retaining strain specific characteristics.

The development of Infusion Biosciences’ APP technology and the creation of its Infuz2O and Bio Natural Oil, is based on over 12 years of R&D on the recovery of water-soluble phytochemicals from medicinal plants and over 25 years in discovery and development of biotechnology and pharmaceutical drugs.

Sproutly Provides Strategic Update

VANCOUVER, BC, February 13, 2019– Sproutly Canada, Inc. (CSE: SPR) (OTCQB: SRUTF) (FSE: 38G) (“Sproutly" or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a strategic update on the development of its business to date. Sproutly continues to make substantial progress towards its goal of becoming a global cannabis beverage and edibles company.

“Sproutly has made significant progress towards building a world-class cannabis beverage and infused product company since going public in July of last year” said Keith Dolo, CEO and Director. “We have been successful in acquiring the exclusive rights to Infusion Biosciences’ APP technology, in certain jurisdictions, which is able to produce naturally water-soluble cannabinoids that deliver the full experience of cannabis paralleling the onset and offset profiles of smoking.  From there, we have made steps to bring in the people and the resources to build a global cannabis branded company focused on beverage and infused products” he added.

First Harvest

Sproutly completed its first two harvests of its premium quality, small batch cannabis at its state-of-the-art Toronto Herbal Remedies (“THR”) production facility in Toronto. The results from the harvest were much better than the Company’s internal production expectations. The Company is hoping to achieve the same production results across all 12 of THR’s flowering rooms in its full-scale production; in the event that this is achieved, the total production capacity at THR will increase materially. This is an important milestone for the Company as it looks to ramp up production and shift into sales and extraction as licensing is granted.  

“We are very happy with the results of our first two harvests, which produced highly efficient yields for an initial grow.”  Said Bryan Semkuley, President of Sproutly.  “This is a tremendous milestone for the company, as these harvests are the first step towards our production objectives.   We are on track to meet our calendar 2019 production targets and expect multiple successful harvests as we continue to build on this initial success.”

As a result of the success of the first two harvests, plants are scheduled to be introduced into an additional 10 grow rooms within the next few weeks. The Company is on track to ramp up for full production in calendar 2019 and starting to plant a new room each week moving forward in its perpetual harvest plan. 

Licensing

The Company continues to progress on its operational plan with respect to cultivation and extraction and had met its objectives for calendar 2018. Its ACMPR license has been migrated to the Cannabis Act which now provides the ability to sell cannabis to other licensed producers. Further, as of November 10, 2018, the Company also received license amendments approving all of the remaining 16,600 square feet at the facility for additional grow and operations and cultivation.

On November 1, 2018, the Company announced that has submitted an “addition of activity” in the month of October, to its Health Canada license, in order to produce cannabis oils. Granting of this license amendment will allow for the Company to begin extraction operations and R&D in its THR Facility.

Brand and Product Development

The Company is currently developing its brand strategy around its high quality, small batch flower and anticipates launching in conjunction with receiving its sales license.  

Following the legalization of adult use recreational cannabis in Canada in 2018, cannabis edibles are expected to be legalized later in 2019.  As the Company approaches the legalization of edibles and beverages, Sproutly is developing its brand and partnership strategy with respect to APP technology.  Sproutly will look to maximize the use of the exclusive Canadian license for APP Technology that it obtained through the acquisition of Infusion Biosciences Canada Inc. APP Technology is a patent-pending process that gently recovers naturally water-soluble cannabinoids as well as natural oils; recovering between 85% - 90% of the total bioactive cannabinoids in the plant.

Sproutly is preparing for the coming launch of cannabis infused beverages in Canada and is contemplating a number of strategies including partnering with existing brands and launching its own portfolio of beverages. The Company has, and continues to be, engaged in discussions with beverage companies on possible partnerships, but cannot guarantee that these discussions will lead to a transaction on terms acceptable to the Company.

Sproutly Develops Cannabis and Hemp Infused Functional Beverage Portfolio

VANCOUVER, B.C., November 8, 2018 – Sproutly Canada, Inc. (CSE: SPR) (OTCQB: SRUTF) (FRA: 38G) (“Sproutly" or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has completed the development and formulation of an initial portfolio of functional beverages with its proprietary naturally water soluble cannabinoids (“Infuz2O”).

The beverages combine recently licensed rights for the proprietary water soluble mineral platform (“MiST Platform”) with Infuz20. The initial portfolio consists of three separate cannabis / hemp infused beverages that provide the following functions: a) Focused Energy; b) Stress relief and Relaxation; and, c) Restful sleep support.

The Company is currently in the midst of medicinal and adult-use brand development, including its functional beverage line. The initial beverages are anticipated to be ready for consumers if and when Health Canada allows consumer beverage products to be legal for sale.

“The focus of the Company has been to develop products that will distinguish our functional beverages from cannabis/ hemp beverages developed by our competitors. Our competitive advantage is to leverage the suite of proprietary water-soluble technologies we have acquired, and create a line of consumer products that taste great and have a functional purpose”, said Keith Dolo, Chief Executive Officer. “Our beverages not only cater to the emerging cannabis market but also to the large, functional beverage market that exists today”, he added.

The functional beverage category is increasingly becoming the popular choice among consumers who are seeking low-calorie, nutrient-dense options as a healthy alternative to traditional beverages. The global functional beverage market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% to US$93.68 billion by 2019, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc.Cannabis in its own right has a long history of being used as a way for users to address wellness and lifestyle needs. Sproutly’s functional beverage formulations address major and growing consumer health and wellness needs for the modern lifestyle.

Sproutly’s strategy is founded on its proven ability to acquire proprietary technologies related to water soluble ingredients. Sproutly is among the first in Canada to address the functional beverage market with cannabis/ hemp ingredients that are recovered from the plants in their naturally water soluble form and, therefore, can be stably combined with other water soluble micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other natural plant chemicals). These beverages are fully transparent because all the selected ingredients are truly dissolved in water and, like typical consumer beverages, can be packaged in clear glass bottles and refrigerated if desired for a refreshing taste.

Beverage Formulations & Product

The functional beverage formulations have been developed using two proprietary technologies:
1.    MiST (Minerals in Solution Technology)– 10+ years of research and development into the creation and formulation of water soluble minerals and phytochemicals; and,
2.    Infuz20 – naturally water soluble cannabinoids with onset of less than 5 minutes and offset within 90 minutes.

Sproutly’s functional beverage formulations address a number of lifestyle verticals including: mood & energy, relaxation & sleep as well as stress relief. Its functional beverage formulations utilize MiST and Infuz20 to produce enhanced water, beverages, and nutritional micronutrient supplements that include cannabis or hemp strains strategically selected to provide a synergistic experience for the recreational and medicinal markets.

The Company’s functional beverage products are expected to be its first line of cannabis/ hemp beverage as these have been taken through initial evaluations as consumer beverages by scientists from Infusion Biosciences Inc. and Micronutrient Technologies Inc. These completed evaluations include:

  • blending and ratio proportions of ingredients selected based on independent scientific reports on their benefits;
  • stability testing at room temperature and in refrigerator;
  • formulation with natural flavors; and,
  • process development for large scale manufacturing.

The current functional beverage product portfolio (which is expected to launch under a portfolio of brands to be identified at a later date) consists of:

Focused Energy Drink– Formulated to deliver mood uplifting & focused energy without the use for caffeine or stimulants. Containing a blend of minerals, vitamins, natural plant chemicals, natural flavors, and Infuz2O derived from one or more strains of cannabis to complement the experience.

Relaxation Drink– Formulated to deliver relaxation and stress relief. Containing a blend of minerals, natural plant chemicals, natural flavors, and Infuz2O derived from one or more targeted strains of cannabis to complement the experience.

Sleep and Anxiety Relief Drink– Formulated to reduce anxiety and assist restful sleep. Containing a blend of minerals, plant and other natural chemicals, natural flavors, and Infuz2O derived from a targeted variety of hemp to complement the experience.

Marketing of these beverage products will follow additional testing and will be subject to necessary approvals and licenses to be granted by Health Canada and regulatory authorities in other territories.

Infusion Biosciences and Trace Research Institute Announce Research Collaboration for Developing Testing Methods for Cannabis Ingredients in Edible and Beverage Products

VANCOUVER, B.C., August 14, 2018 – Sproutly Canada, Inc. (CSE: SPR) (FRA: 38G) (“Sproutly" or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Infusion Biosciences Inc. (“Infusion Biosciences”), the Licensor of the APP Technology to Sproutly, has entered into a research collaboration agreement with Trace Research Institute, LLC (“Trace”), an independent research company that offers various testing, research, regulatory and consulting services for the cannabis industry in Washington State (US). Sproutly will benefit from the research collaboration as a licensee of the APP Technology from Infusion Biosciences as the Analytical Methods (defined below) are made available in the jurisdictions for which it holds an exclusive license from Infusion Biosciences.

“The development of Analytical Methods is not only a key milestone in the commercial implementation of the APP Technology, but also an answer to a challenge the global cannabis industry faces with accurately measuring cannabinoids when they are formulated into cannabis beverages using methods available today”, said Keith Dolo Chief Executive Officer of Sproutly.

Mr. Gordon Fagras, co-founder of both the Trace Research Institute and Trace Analytics, a certified independent cannabis analytics laboratory in Washington State said, “Over the last several years, the cannabis industry has been faced with the challenge of accurately measuring cannabinoids when they are formulated into beverages. Up to this point most of the products available on the market are usually based on emulsifications, encapsulation, or even ‘nano’ type technology which are largely problematic to analysis as they are highly diluted and likely bound to another compound. Some of these technologies are more robust than others, but the vast majority of these products tend to experience fall out and separation of the cannabis or hemp oils.”

Mr. Fagras further commented: “This is why our research collaboration with Infusion Biosciences is so unique in that the samples are naturally in water solution(s) where, we have seen not seen fallout of any manner so far, and thus we feel they are highly shelf stable. Modifying sample processing and analytical testing with these concentrated water solutions of cannabinoids (and terpenes) should provide us with a unique opportunity to develop analytical methods for cannabis beverages”.

“Phytochemicals such as cannabinoids and terpenes have so far been extracted as free oils from cannabis plants. Analytical methods developed to date for these oil molecules are not useful in measuring the potency of Infusion Biosciences’s “Infuz2O”, the naturally water soluble forms of these molecules produced as water solutions by Infusion Biosciences’s proprietary recovery process known as the APP technology”, said Dr. Arup Sen, Chief Science Officer of Sproutly as well as Co-Founder and Director of Infusion Biosciences. “In order to develop and sell beverage products developed using Infuz2O to deliver the benefits and experiences of cannabis plants, sensitive and robust analytical methods need to be developed”, he added.

Under the Agreement, Infusion Biosciences will supply Trace with naturally water soluble cannabis phytochemicals (“Infuz2O”) produced by Infusion Biosciences’s proprietary APP technology. The research collaboration will focus on developing and validating analytical methods for the detection and measurement of cannabis phytochemicals in water solutions (“Analytical Methods”). Under the Agreement Trace will be granted an exclusive right to use the intellectual property resulting from the collaboration to develop and commercialize analytical testing services used to qualify cannabis/hemp products in the legal jurisdictions in the United States. Infusion Biosciences will retain worldwide rights to the intellectual property for other uses.  The companies will work together to enable testing laboratories in other legal jurisdictions in the world.
