INDIVA Limited (“Indiva” or the “Company) (TSX VENTURE:NDVA) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a strategic cooperation agreement (the “Agreement“) with Medropharm GmbH and Greenfields Health Care S.A.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Licensors have granted Indiva the exclusive Canadian rights to import, cultivate and sell three high-CBD low-THC strains of cannabis. In addition to the exclusive supply of premium cannabis genetics, the Licensor will also identify to Indiva the chemical composition and treatment uses of each strain supplied under the Agreement and provide cultivation guidance from time to time.
Subject to applicable regulatory approvals, Indiva expects that the premium cannabis strains will begin to be supplied under the Agreement in early 2018.
