VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - May 04, 2017) - Canabo Medical Inc. ( TSX VENTURE : CMM ) ( OTCQB : CAMDF ) ("Canabo" or the "Company") announces it has entered into a letter of intent ("LOI") with Aviva Medical Ltd. ("Aviva Medical", formerly, Medica One Ltd.) to enter into a share exchange agreement ("SEA"). The SEA will replace a previous agreement that covered the operations of CMClinics in Hamilton, Stoney Creek and Burlington. Aviva Medical will operate five existing medical marijuana CMClinics in Ontario. Aviva Medical currently operates clinics in Hamilton, Stoney Creek, Burlington, and will assume operations of Canabo's Barrie and St. Catharine's clinics. It is proposed that Aviva Medical will open four new CMClinics Oakville, Niagara Falls, Peterborough and Etobicoke. Aviva Medical will operate a total of nine Canabo CMClinics in Ontario.

Patients at all new and existing Aviva Medical operated CMClinics will be seen under Canabo's trained procedures, protocols, standards and research programs. All patients will also be enrolled in Canabo's medical data collection program.

Dr. Neil Smith, Executive Chairman of Canabo, stated "Aviva Medical is a great clinic operator. We are tremendously happy that this agreement will expand our clinic base within Ontario and quickly give us access to a further 15,000 patients."

Marcia Villafranca, President of Aviva Medical, added "We are pleased to move forward with Canabo's expertise in the field of medical cannabis research and treatments. Our physicians are happy to join their research team and contribute to a wider acceptance in the medical community of medical marijuana treatments."

Operational services will be provided by Aviva Medical under the terms of the SEA with Canabo. Pursuant to the SEA, Canabo will acquire all issued and outstanding shares of an Ontario corporation ("NewCo") to be incorporated by Aviva Medical for the operations of the CMClinics. Aviva Medical will exchange all NewCo shares for common shares of Canabo Medical Inc. The number of exchanged Canabo shares, up to a maximum of 1,742,160 common shares, will be calculated under a formula at closing depending on the number of new patients, based on the 5-day volume weighted average price of $0.6888 per share, subject to a minimum of 10,000 new patients being achieved within the next three years. Any Canabo shares issued under the SEA will be subject to a 12-month voluntary pooling agreement. The agreement is subject to both parties maintaining certain performance and quality assurance provisions, the execution of the SEA and TSX Venture Exchange approval.
