Aurora Cannabis Launches the Aurora Envoy™

A Patent-Pending Live Plant Transporter to Target Home Grow Market

VANCOUVER, Oct. 5, 2017 /CNW/ – Aurora Cannabis Inc. (“Aurora” or the “Company”) (TSX: ACB) (OTCQX: ACBFF) (Frankfurt: 21P; WKN: A1C4WM) today is pleased to announce that the Company will be launching its proprietary and patent-pending live plant transporter, the Aurora Envoy™ (“Envoy”). The Company filed its patent application on August 31, 2017, providing Aurora with the opportunity to pursue patent protection in over 150 countries.

The Aurora Envoy™ possesses several novel and inventive features that promote the health, vigor and vegetative growth of live plant cuttings during shipment, leading to high transplant success rates and an exceptional customer experience.

Neil Belot, Chief Global Business Development Officer for Aurora, added, “Our team looked at all available options on the market. We were unable to find one that met the Aurora Standard, and consequently we developed our own. Following months of thorough testing and design iterations, we are proud to say that no other comparable product on the market today offers the same level of technological sophistication as the Aurora Envoy™. We employ one of the best and brightest industrial designers in this industry, and with the support of our exceptional team, we have once again set a new standard for the cannabis industry.”

The Aurora Envoy™, which is anticipated to launch commercially in the coming months, incorporates several key innovative features including:

Child-proof and tamper evident design;

Long-lasting internal power source (+200 hours);

Four powerful light emitting diodes optimized for vegetative plant growth;

Opaque textured white-matte interior finish for increased reflection and even light distribution;

Breathable container design for effective air exchange and improved plant health, and

Wide-mouth design to eliminate potential condensation issues.

The Envoy brings together our guiding principle of patients-first with our ongoing support of peoples’ ability to make the choice to grow at home. The Envoy is therefore the perfect complement to our home garden offering through BC Northern Lights, which we recently acquired.

Terry Booth, CEO

Enabling people to grow at home, to achieve higher success rates and produce exceptional yields while effectively addressing all of the issues previously raised by the public and municipal governments, is a huge step forward in helping to build this important segment of the cannabis industry.

Aurora intends to wholesale the Envoy on a worldwide basis, and has designed the manufacturing process in a way that enables cannabis producers and other plant producers to customize the Envoy with their own branding.
