Mr. Mason is currently Chairman of the Board, President and CEO of a number of TSX Venture Exchange companies.

Mr. Mason states, "I am pleased to be increasing my role at Naturally Splendid by joining their Board of Directors. Since March of 2015 when I originally joined the Advisory Board, I have had an advantageous view of the IP, technologies and products that have been developed at Naturally Splendid, particularly as they relate to the functional and New Age beverage categories. I have been observing this beverage category as it pertains to hemp and cannabinoid extracts; most recently of course, through the transaction between Canopy Growth and Constellation. There are a number of opportunities in multiple beverage categories that Naturally Splendid can choose to follow. I bring an experienced perspective to companies through such avenues as creating proprietary formulations, and licensing opportunities for the Company . And I believe the timing to be very fortuitous in this space, at this time.".
