The Flowr Corporation (TSX.V: FLWR; OTC: FLWPF)
(“
Flowr” or the “
Company”) is
pleased to provide an operational update from its European
operations (the “
Partnership”) which is jointly
operated with Terrace Global Inc. (TSXV: TRCE) (“
Terrace
Global”). In addition, Flowr announces a strategic
warehousing agreement (the “
Warehousing
Agreement”) with Tilray Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY)
(“
Tilray”) where the companies will take a
collaborative approach to furthering their cannabis businesses in
the European Union. The Company is also pleased to announce that
the Company has agreed to close the final tranche of funding of the
Aljustrel Joint Venture in the amount of C$1 million pursuant to
the Equity Line and Profit Share Agreement (the
“
Agreement”) with Terrace Global.
Operational Update
Flowr is pleased to report outdoor medical
cannabis results in Aljustrel, where approximately 40,000 plants
have yielded approximately 3,000 kgs of dried flower cannabis
flower.
“Given the importance of Europe to the future of
the cannabis industry and the historic United Nations vote we
wanted to provide an update on our Portuguese operations. Since our
partnership with Terrace Global began in May, 2020 we have been
able to import a diverse set of high-THC genetics in Portugal,
plant over 30 acres of outdoor medical cannabis and put in place
the infrastructure that is anticipated to allow us to leverage over
180 acres of outdoor medical cannabis cultivation potential in the
future,” commented Vinay Tolia, CEO of Flowr. “There is no other
project like this in the E.U. and we expect to be able to leverage
this low-cost cultivation capacity to produce a diverse set of
derivative products as well as dried flower which we believe will
be released with GMP certification. We continue to work on closing
the acquisition of Terrace Global by year end and are extremely
excited by what the future holds for the combined
organizations.”
Recently, harvests from the Company’s indoor
polytunnels in Aljustrel have yielded approximately 35 kgs of 20% +
THC cannabis dried flower which the Company expects to release with
E.U. GMP certification in 2021. Additionally, and as previously
announced, the Company’s outdoor harvest yielded approximately
3,000 kgs of high THC dried flower cannabis flower.
“The preliminary results of the harvest from our
polytunnels may be indicative of a successful business model in the
E.U. medical cannabis industry. These lab results have shown the
potential to cultivate high THC medical cannabis in polytunnels in
a low-cost structure,” commented Dr. Deron Caplan, Director,
Research and Development.

During the summer, the Company focused its
efforts on expanding its genetics library and currently maintains
several high THC strains, including Sour-P, Black Dog, Brains
Choice, Gelato, Gorilla Glue #4, and Green Doctor. Each of these
strains tested between 18-23% THC.
Strategic Warehousing Agreement with
Tilray
Flowr is pleased to announce a strategic
warehousing agreement with Tilray whereby the parties have agreed
to the storage and warehousing of E.U. GMP certified medical
cannabis at the Company’s Sintra facility in Portugal. The parties
will undertake to develop a collaborative approach with a view to
leverage each party’s E.U. GMP certified facilities in Portugal to
store and warehouse medicinal cannabis products for the European
market. The commercial terms of the agreement were not
disclosed.
