Toronto, ON -- September 25, 2018 --
InvestorsHub NewsWire -- FSD Pharma Inc. (CSE: HUGE) (OTC: FSDDF) (FRA:
0K9) (“FSD Pharma” or the
“Company), which, through its wholly-owned
subsidiary FV Pharma Inc., is a licensed producer pursuant to the
Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations, is
pleased to announce that the Company has received its first
delivery of manufacturing equipment at its Cobourg plant from
Canntab Therapeutics Limited (CSE:PILL)
(“Canntab”), a leader in the rapidly growing
cannabis pill market. The manufacturing equipment consists of a
fully GMP High output Tablet press capable of pressing more than
1,500,000 tablets per day, as well as blending machinery, large
scale process and drying equipment and packaging
equipment.
Mr.
Jeffrey Renwick, Chief Executive Officer of Canntab, stated, “With
this first delivery of manufacturing equipment at the Cobourg
plant, we can begin the process of setting up our manufacturing
space in collaboration with FSD Pharma. We expect manufacturing of
our suite of novel cannabis oral dose delivery platforms, including
gel capsules and tablets to begin in earnest.”
Zeeshan
Saeed, EVP and Director of FSD Pharma, added, “We are thrilled that
Canntab is moving so quickly to set up its manufacturing facility
at our Company. We too are moving quickly to build out our own
220,000 square feet of additional manufacturing capacity in Cobourg
in collaboration with Auxly. This is truly an exciting time at FSD
Pharma.”
FSD
Pharma and Canntab previously announced the signing of a definitive
collaboration and profit sharing agreement (the “Agreement”)
effective September 17, 2018. Under the terms of the Agreement, FSD
Pharma will assist Canntab to obtain a license to process and sell
cannabis products pursuant to the Cannabis Act (the
“License”), and will provide Canntab with space at
its facility (the “FSD Facility”), which is
located just one hour east of Toronto in Cobourg, Ontario (the
“Transaction”).
FSD
Pharma will provide Canntab with up to 10,000 square feet of space
at the FSD Facility (the “Canntab Premises”).
Canntab will build and install, at its expense, its own
manufacturing facility within the larger FSD Facility that will
operate in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practices, at which
it will produce a suite of novel cannabis oral dose delivery
platforms, including gel capsules and tablets, and other types of
cannabis-based products, including sleep aids and pain relievers
(the “Canntab Products”).
FSD
Pharma and Canntab see tremendous opportunity in offering
pharmaceutical quality cannabis based tablets, as many doctors are
adverse to prescribing smoked cannabis as a solution to patients’
health concerns. The Canntab Premises are intended to be used to
supply Canadian and International markets such as Australia and
Germany, which legally allow cannabis. FSD Pharma will work with
Canntab to prepare the necessary items to submit an application
from Canntab to Health Canada to obtain the License, which will be
attached to the Canntab Premises. In particular, FSD Pharma will
assist with the following aspects of the
application:
- drafting, or coordinating the drafting of, all
application materials;
- sourcing all necessary third-party consultants
required to prepare the application; and
- communicating with Health Canada throughout the
application process.
In
consideration of FSD Pharma’s services, Canntab will grant FSD
Pharma certain royalty and profit sharing rights in connection with
the sale of the Canntab Products. Canntab will provide FSD Pharma
with 50% of the profits that Canntab receives on any retail sales
of Canntab Products through channels that are established by FSD
Pharma and FSD Pharma will be entitled to retain 50% of the profits
on FSD Pharma’s sales of the Canntab Products. In addition, Canntab
will pay FSD Pharma a royalty of 3.5% of Canntab’s sale price for
all Canntab Products that are manufactured and sold from the
Canntab Premises. Canntab may also purchase the oil that it
requires for the Canntab Products from FSD
Pharma.
