Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / July 18th, 2016 - INVICTUS MD STRATEGIES CORP. ("Invictus MD" or the "Company") (CSE: IMH; OTC: IVITF; FRA: 8IS) is pleased to report that it has acquired, indirectly through its subsidiary, Prestige Worldwide Holdings Inc., an additional 7.5% of the shares of Future Harvest Development Ltd. (“Future Harvest”) pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement dated July 15, 2016.

In exchange for the additional 7.5% of the shares of Future Harvest, the Company paid $375,000 in cash to a shareholder of Future Harvest, representing a $5 million valuation. In aggregate, the Company’s total interest in Future Harvest is now 82.5%.

Chirs Pearson, Chief Revenue Officer of Future Harvest commented, “This increase in ownership is another example of how quickly we are able to react to market and operational opportunities, and is one of our core strengths. Management’s ability to react quickly & strategically in creating partnerships within new emerging markets will be critical to our success and market share growth. “

The recent sale of Future Harvest’s SunBlaster product line has allowed management to focus their efforts on the company’s fertilizer line, Plantlife Products.  To date, Future Harvest continues to progress towards increasing operational efficiency and quality control in the production of our fertilizer, research and development, and distribution.  The Plantlife product line has experienced a 65% increase in gross sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the prior year, which demonstrates the growth potential which the Company intends to capitalize on.

As previously announced, the Company received board approval to complete a spin-out of Future Harvest into a newly-formed public company, however given the current internal reorganization, it was determined not to proceed at this time.

Further, the Company has granted an aggregate of 250,000 incentive stock options (the “Options”) under its Stock Option Plan to certain employees and consultants of the Company, subject to vesting provisions.  The Options are exercisable at a price of $0.35 for a period of 5 years from the date of grant.
