The Danish company STENOCARE A/S (“STENOCARE” or “the Company”) was founded in 2017 with a vision to help patients in pain to a better quality of life. The Company is the first to sell approved medical cannabis oils in Denmark. The Company has now been approved for listing on Spotlight Stock Market and announces that the subscription in the Company’s share issue of approx. DKK 18.6 million will commence on Monday, the 24th of September 2018. The main purpose of the new share issue is to finance the Company’s planned growth, which includes the establishment of a production facility to cultivate and manufacture its own finished medical cannabis products for patients in Denmark and Europe.

About STENOCARE

On January 1st, 2018, the Danish parliament initiated a four-year programme (“Programme”) allowing all physicians in Denmark to prescribe medical cannabis. The purpose of the programme is to provide patients in need with a legal opportunity to receive treatment with medical cannabis.

STENOCARE was the first company in the Danish market to receive licenses from the Danish Medicines Agency to both cultivate, produce as well as import medical cannabis. As a result, STENOCARE is the first and presently only vendor under this Programme that has commenced delivering medical cannabis oil products to the Danish pharmacies and hospitals through the two leading wholesalers of medicine in Denmark.

The initial products are imported from STENOCAREs Canadian partner, CannTrust [TSX: TRST] and are available at scale. The products are high quality pharmaceutical grade medical cannabis oils, produced through hygienic cultivation and processing without the use of pesticides. STENOCARE currently offers three products: CBD Drops STENOCARE, THC Drops STENOCARE and 1:1 Drops STENOCARE.

In addition, STENOCARE will develop a separate production facility for the cultivation and production of its own medical cannabis products at the Company’s premises in Jutland, Denmark.

Thomas Skovlund Schnegelsberg, CEO of STENOCARE

“STENOCARE is founded with the clear and simple vision of creating a better quality of life for patients through the use of medical cannabis as an alternative or a supplement to traditional medicine. Our inspiration came from personal experiences with family members or friends who experienced inhuman amounts of pain and trauma. The funds that we receive in the new share issue will be used exclusively to develop our ability to make a real difference in this new and important market”, said Thomas Skovlund Schnegelsberg, CEO and co-founder of STENOCARE.
