TORONTO, Sept. 24, 2018 /CNW/ – The Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc.ACMPR, CANADA, SUPREME, SPRWF, FIRE, (“Supreme Cannabis” or the “Company”) (TSXV: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF) (FRA: 53S1), is pleased to announce a realignment of its senior leadership in order to further position the Company for global growth and continued operational success.

John Fowler, currently Chief Executive Officer of the Company, will assume the role of President of the Company, and Navdeep Dhaliwal, currently the President of the Company, will assume the role of Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective at the end of the business day on September 24, 2018. Both individuals will continue to serve as members of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”).

Mr. Fowler and Mr. Dhaliwal recommended the realignment to the Board, reflecting their belief that Mr. Fowler’s intimate knowledge and expertise with infrastructure development and commercial cannabis operations is critical for the successful completion of the 7ACRES facility and launch in the recreational market. Supreme Cannabis intends to utilize Mr. Fowler’s extensive industry experience for the build out of the Company’s previously announced “Lot 16″California-style indoor cultivation project, as well as future product and market segments that the Company may enter. The realignment will allow Mr. Fowler to best support the Company’s growth through focus on product and operational development in the role of President.

Under Mr. Fowler’s leadership, construction of 7ACRES’ world class facility is scheduled for completion by year end and annual production capacity is expected to reach 50,000kg in mid 2019. Mr. Fowler’s leadership was also instrumental in Supreme Cannabis securing supply agreements with provincial recreational partners in Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Nova Scotia and PEI.

At the same time, Mr. Fowler and Mr. Dhaliwal believe that by assuming the role of Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Dhaliwal’s extensive experience in international business and his capital markets background will optimize the Company’s growth trajectory.

Mr. Dhaliwal, in his role as Chief Executive Officer, will continue to focus on executing on the Company’s broader global growth strategy including M&A opportunities, strategic investments, and developing the Company’s international and medical businesses. Mr. Dhaliwal will also continue to lead the Company’s investor and capital markets relations activities. To date, Mr. Dhaliwal has led the Company’s capital raising efforts, strategy, international investments and initiatives.

With the continued global acceptance of medical cannabis, increasing federal legalization of medical cannabis in countries globally and the impending legalization of recreational cannabis in Canada, the management team and the Board are confident in this realignment to build a global diversified cannabis company.

“Since joining the Board as Chairman, I have been impressed with the management team’s visionary strategy and commitment to operational execution. This leadership realignment positions Supreme Cannabis for rapid global growth, while continuing to build strong long-term operational assets. The Board is excited to usher in the next phase of Supreme Cannabis’ global growth,” said Michael La Brier, Chairman of the Board.
