(TSX VENTURE:OGI) (OTCQB:OGRMF) (the "Company" or "Organigram"), a leading licensed producer of medical marijuana based in Moncton, New Brunswick, announced today that the Company has reluctantly accepted the resignation of Denis Arsenault following over three and a half years of dedicated service on the Organigram Board of Directors.

Mr. Arsenault has been a driving force behind the development and growth of Organigram and his dedication and commitment to the Company has played a key role in building the foundation from which the Company has grown.

I am very proud of what we have accomplished together, with employment numbers expected to be above 270 full time jobs by the end of 2018, and a recently announced international division" stated Arsenault. "The decision to pass the torch and focus on other priorities was a very easy and much anticipated one."
