Valens GroWorks Acquires Licensed Cannabis Testing Lab

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - April 6, 2017) - Valens GroWorks Corp. (CSE:VGW)(CSE:VGW.CN) (the "Company" or "Valens") is pleased to announce completion of the acquisition of Supra THC Services Inc. ("SUPRA"), a Health Canada-licensed cannabis testing lab with an established Kelowna-based scientific team supporting its operations.

Valens acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of SUPRA for $3.75 million, satisfied through the issuance of three million shares of Valens. The total share consideration is subject to a regulatory four month hold period as well as a 36-month escrow agreement.

SUPRA holds a Health Canada Dealer's License which allows for the possession of cannabis and related active ingredients, as well as the production of extracts for the purpose of analysis.

SUPRA's mission is to become a leading Analytical Service Provider to the cannabis industry. Revenue-generating activities are expected to include analytical services, consulting services, and contract Research and Development. The company will also produce oils and ointments using a proprietary solvent-free extraction approach that produces an organic 100% cannabis oil product.

SUPRA is led by Dr. Rob O'Brien, who also recently joined Valens Agritech Ltd. ("VAL"), the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, as its President and Chief Science Officer (CSO). Dr. O'Brien is an expert in analytical instrumentation, has established a number of advanced analytical laboratories, and founded Supra Research and Development, the first spin-off company from the University of British Columbia's Okanagan campus, created to commercialize innovative biomass extraction technology.

Dr. O'Brien stated, "Having both Valens Agritech and Supra THC Services as wholly-owned subsidiaries of Valens GroWorks provides us with a gateway to the capital markets and the necessary currency to execute on our strategic vision. Our immediate objective is to secure the infrastructure necessary to become a leading-edge cannabis-based enterprise in one of the fastest growing sectors of the global economy."
