SPYDER CANNABIS SIGNS SUPPLY AGREEMENT FOR PREMIUM HEMP PRODUCTS AND UNVEILS THEIR NEW SPDR(R) LINE

Spyder Cannabis Inc. has signed its first hemp agreement for the supply of full-spectrum products to support its debut of a hemp-infused product line to be sold across the United States under its SPDR brand.

Spyder is expanding its chain of hemp-infused medical and lifestyle product shops with its new brand called SPDR. These boutique shops will stock Spyder's SPDR-branded hemp-infused products developed for an aging, health and wellness demographic. Spyder will offer a wide array of hemp-infused product offerings, including muscle balm, face oil, body lotion and bath salts, as well as hemp-infused tinctures, capsules and sprays. In addition, hemp is a natural source of cannabidiol (CBD), the non-intoxicating component of cannabis that can be used for health and wellness purposes in jurisdictions where legally permitted.

The hemp industry is booming and has the potential to become a $22-billion business by 2022, according to cannabis-focused research firm Brightfield Group. "Spyder plans on executing an aggressive expansion plan to create a significant retail brand in the U.S. hemp market," stated Daniel Pelchovitz, chief executive officer and president of Spyder. "We are very pleased to partner with this producer which will provide the product formulation and packaging to help create a premium product line for consumers across the U.S."

The initial launch will feature four distinct hemp-derived products: balms at 125-milligram and 500-milligram strength; tinctures at 300-milligram, 500-milligram and 1,000-milligram strength; softgel capsules at 15-milligram strength; and a pet line starting with tinctures at 300-milligram strength.
