Relevium Provides Regulatory Update on Previously Announced Initiatives and Transactions

MONTREAL, June 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Relevium Technologies Inc. (TSX.V: “RLV”, OTC: “RLLVF” and Frankfurt: “6BX”) (the “Company” or “Relevium”), as a requirement in order to obtain final regulatory approval for its private placement as announced on Monday May 25, 2020, is pleased to provide a full update on the developments and transactions announced over the last 12 months.

BACKGROUND
The last 12 months have been challenging for the Canadian capital markets. Two major events have had material impacts on Canadian listed companies: (1) A major correction in the cannabis market and more recently (2) the COVID-19 pandemic.

Relevium, like many other companies related to cannabis, experienced a significant decrease in its market valuation, which was proportional to the average decrease in value of all cannabis companies trading on both the CSE and TSX. The COVID-19 pandemic has also created a new challenge for businesses around the world, and the economic consequences of the pandemic have been felt by all, large and small companies alike.

This news release aims to provide shareholders with an update on initiatives and transactions announced previously, which had been and some still are subject to the unusual contexts of both major events described above.

CORPORATE UDPATE

DELAYED FILING OF INTERIM DISCLOSURE DOCUMENTS PURSUANT TO TEMPORARY RELIEF GRANTED BY REGULATORS DUE TO COVID-19

On May 27, 2020, Relevium announced that it would be delaying the filing and delivery of certain of its continuous disclosure documents, in accordance with Decision No 2020-PDG-0023 of the Autorité des marchés financiers (Québec) (the “Exemption”),which was adopted for the purpose of providing certain filing and other relief to issuers in light of the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Company intends to file the Required Filings by July 14, 2020.

There have been several material events that have taken place since the filing of the Company’s financial statements and MD&A for the quarter ended December 31, 2019. These include the passing of Dr. Tina Sampalis, the launch of the Bioganix Cleancare hand sanitizers and the closing of a private placement for $1,799,000, all of which are described in detail above under “Corporate Update”.
