High Park™ Facility Receives Processing License from Health Canada

The licensed High Park facility located in London, Ontario allows the Company to expand its capacity to supply a range of branded adult-use cannabis products exclusively for the Canadian market

 

TORONTO, ONT. – High Park Holdings Ltd. (“High Park”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ:TLRY), announced today that it has received a standard processing license under the Cannabis Act to process cannabis into finished branded products at its state-of-the-art facility located in London, Ontario. The license will also allow High Park to conduct certain research and development activities on new cannabis form factors.

 

Led by High Park’s team of industry experts responsible for innovation, research and the development of High Park’s portfolio of cannabis products, the facility will be utilized to process a wide-range of finished branded products from dried cannabis into differentiated form factors such as edibles (including oils, confectioneries and beverages), topicals, and concentrates, exclusively for the adult-use cannabis market in Canada, once permitted by laws and regulations.

 

In April 2018, High Park announced an initial investment of up to C$10 million in the 56,000-square foot London facility. This processing, research and development facility will receive raw material from High Park Farms Ltd.™ (“High Park Farms”), which has an affiliated cultivation and processing facility, located in Enniskillen, Ontario. High Park Farms currently features 13 acres of greenhouse space located on 100 acres of property and represents an initial C$30 million investment and the creation of more than 200 jobs. High Park Farms received a cultivation license in April 2018 and a sales license in September 2018. Upon the federal legalization of adult-use cannabis in Canada on October 17th, 2018, High Park Farms and its affiliates fulfilled initial adult-use supply agreements and purchase orders in Quebec, Ontario, British Columbia, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Northwest Territories and Yukon.

 

“This license marks another step forward as High Park increases its capacity to supply differentiated form factors of branded cannabis products for adult-use consumers in Canada,” says Brendan Kennedy, Chief Executive Officer, Tilray. “We believe great brands and products are critical in the long-term endurance of a dynamic legal cannabis industry, and we’re excited to be well-positioned to meet the increasing demand for these products.”
