Supreme Updates Board of Directors and Provides Licensing Update
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 05/08/17 -- Supreme Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Supreme" or the "Company") (CSE: SL)(CSE: SL.CN)(CNSX: SL) is pleased to announce that Mr. Ron Factor, B.A.Sc, MBA, has joined its Board of Directors. Mr. Factor was the founder of the global supply chain management consulting practice at Deloitte Consulting in Toronto. He will replace Mr. Chuck Rifici on the Board, who has resigned to focus his efforts on a new venture. The Supreme Board of Directors thanks Mr. Rifici for his contributions to the Company.
"It's been a pleasure serving on Supreme's board with one of the most passionate management teams in Canadian cannabis," said Mr. Chuck Rifici. "I am proud to have been part of Supreme's journey to build a core competency in scaled cultivation, and look forward to enjoying future success as a long term shareholder."
"Mr. Rifici made a lasting impact on our strategic development during his brief tenure on our board and remains a supportive shareholder," said John Fowler, President and CEO of Supreme. "As Mr. Rifici transitions out we are excited to welcome Mr. Factor, who has added significant value over the past year by advising 7ACRES regarding growth of operations. Mr. Factor will be a valuable asset as Supreme increases cultivation operations and prepares for legalization."
With respect to 7ACRES' application to add the activity of sale to its license issued under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations, on May 5, 2017, Health Canada issued a press release regarding its increased scrutiny of the production practices of ACMPR licensees. Pursuant to this increased scrutiny, random samples of plant leaves produced by 7ACRES were tested and show "no signs of contamination." Supreme believes this is a positive development and provides external validation with respect to the quality assurance program and good production practices developed and employed by the team at 7ACRES.
