(CSE: SNN) (OTCQB:SNNVF), is pleased to announce the launch of their first three Sunniva brands

arrangements, Sunniva is launching a series of highly-curated cannabis brands that cater to a variety of consumer tastes as the
Company ramps up production within our state-of-the-art greenhouse.

provide a diverse array of choices at various price points which appeal to individual consumer preferences. The first three brands
in this series represent Sunniva's spirit of collaboration and steadfast commitment to developing products which offer the highest
level of safety and quality, while never compromising on our promise to adhere to the highest standards of sustainability and
responsible growth," said Mary Patton, VP, Marketing, Sunniva.
Patton continued, "We are very proud to release some of the best sun grown and indoor cannabis products that can be found in
today's California marketplace. However true to our core belief that Better is PossibleTM, Sunniva
plans to unveil super premium brands with multiple product lines, which will showcase our own signature genetics, proprietary
