TORONTO, May 15, 2018 /CNW/ - Beleave Inc. (CSE: BE;
OTCQX: BLEVF) ("Beleave" or the "Company"), a diversified biotech company with a purpose-built ACMPR licensed cannabis
facility in Hamilton, Ontario and patient services clinics operating across Ontario under the Medi-Green brand, today announced the launch of an expanded shareholder communications
initiative designed to provide improved visibility into Beleave's current and planned operations. The initiative was
prompted by an increase in shareholder inquiries, the Company's desire for increased transparency for its stakeholders and the
recent growth in its operations, highlighted by both the acquisition of the Medi-Green patient services business and receipt of
its ACMPR sales license.
"The initiative is a multi-channel approach," commented Beleave CEO Andrew Wnek, "As the
industry continues to grow we feel that increasing our visibility in a transparent fashion will not only add comfort to our
respected shareholder base but allow for productive discussion between shareholders and company management."
The program is comprehensive and includes a redesign of the corporate website, the development of the investor relations
portal, consistent shareholder update videos, quarterly investor conference calls with Company management, an active blog with
in-house contributors, and an expanded social media strategy. In order execute on the aforementioned programs, the Company
will seek to increase its shareholder communications with the launch of new features each month. The corporate website will
include a new investor relations newsroom which will include real time press release dissemination, an active corporate blog
featuring industry trends, XBRL data, and automatic posting of public filings. The newsroom will also feature corporate videos
including consistent shareholder update videos featuring officers, directors and key personnel.
In support of its shareholder relations initiative, the Company retained two leading corporate communications firms,
Storyboard Communications and, most recently, Link Media. Both firms act at arm's length to the Company and are paid a monthly
cash retainer or per published PR piece. To the knowledge of the Company, neither Storyboard nor Link Media owns any of the
Company's securities. Further, beyond those transactions disclosed on SEDI.ca, the Company has no knowledge of any
directors trading the Companies securities within the last 90 days. Since the beginning of May, Link Media has arranged for
dissemination of two third party research articles independent from the Company while allowing the Company to retain editorial
control to ensure consistency across all articles and the monitor that published material was derived from the Company's public
filings on www.sedar.com. "Rolling out this type of
program will allow the Company to have consistent, relevant news flow allowing investors to digest information in multiple ways,"
continued Wnek. "In the long run this consistent news flow should play a role in combating short-selling common in the Cannabis
industry."
CSE Short information is published on a bi-weekly basis can be found at http://thecse.com/trading/market-activity/activity-summaries/short-positions. The Company believes the
primary reason for its recent positive share position to be a decrease in short-selling against and the Company's shares recently
receiving DTC eligibility on the OTCQX, rather than the impact of the s articles arranged by Link Media.
