Partnership supports Organigram's large-scale extraction and production strategy

MONCTON, NB, Jan. 29, 2019 /CNW/ - Organigram Holdings Inc. (TSX VENTURE: OGI) (OTCQX: OGRMF), the parent company of Organigram Inc. (the "Company" or "Organigram"), a leading licensed producer of cannabis is pleased to announce it has signed a multi-year extraction contract with Valens GroWorks Corp. (CSE: VGW, OTC: VGWCF) ("Valens"), a provider of cannabis products and services focused on proprietary extraction methodologies, distillation, cannabinoid isolation and purification, as well as associated quality testing.

Under the terms of the agreement, Valens will extract cannabis flowers and trim from Organigram's Moncton operation as well as hemp to produce extract concentrate. In turn, the concentrate will be used by Organigram to produce oils and, eventually, derivative edible and vaporizable cannabis products. The legalization of cannabis edibles and other derivative based products in Canada is expected later this year.

 "Looking ahead to another year of unprecedented firsts in the national and global cannabis industries, our growth strategy is aggressive," says Greg Engel, CEO, Organigram. "A key element of that success is partnerships with companies like Valens who can offer the capacity, quality and expertise to help ensure we deliver on our ongoing commitment to meeting the increasing demand of the global medical and adult recreational cannabis markets."

"We are pleased to be a trusted partner of Organigram and the Canadian cannabis industry," says Tyler Robson, CEO of Valens GroWorks Corp. "We are proud to collaborate with companies like Organigram who continue to look for innovative technologies that will best serve the long-term needs of their customers."

The agreement between the two companies is effective immediately.

Organigram has also developed a portfolio of legal adult use recreational cannabis brands including The Edison Cannabis Company, Ankr Organics, Trailer Park Buds and Trailblazer.

Subsidiary Valens Labs is a Health Canada licensed ISO 17025 accredited cannabis testing lab providing sector-leading analytical services and has partnered with Thermo Fisher Scientific to develop a Centre of Excellence for Plant Based Science.
