TORONTO, April 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Revive Therapeutics Ltd. ("Revive" or the
"Company") (TSX VENTURE: RVV) (OTCQB: RVVTF), a specialty cannabis company focused on the research, development
and commercialization of novel cannabinoid-based products, has entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the
“LOI”) with Richmond Cannabis Co. (“Richmond”), a late stage Licensed Producer applicant under the Cannabis Act,
for the purpose of entering into a Collaboration and Royalty agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”). Under the terms of the
LOI, Revive and Richmond will collaborate to establish a cannabis oil production license under the Cannabis Act out of the Richmond
facility located in Napanee, ON.
"We are very excited to collaborate with Richmond Cannabis Co. to commercialize high-quality cannabis products
for the wellness and medical markets. The collaboration reduces the time and cost for Revive to commercialize its
cannabis-based products. It is important for Revive to have adequate control over the inputs and the extraction process to
allow us to position our brand as premium and to allow for further development of our unique delivery systems and pre-clinical
studies,” said Craig Leon, CEO of Revive.
Under the terms of the LOI, Richmond will be responsible for the preparation, submission and oversight of the
cannabis oil production license application pursuant to the Cannabis Act, communication with Health Canada regarding the grant of
the cannabis oil production license application, and provide adequate space for extraction, research and development,
manufacturing, packaging, storage, and shipping. Revive will be responsible for the finance of the cannabis oil production
license application and related costs and assets as agreed to, such as extraction and packaging equipment and inventory.
This agreement will further Revive’s objective to commercialize premium cannabis products while leveraging the
Company’s unique and diversified cannabinoid-based intellectual property portfolio targeting the wellness and medical
markets. In addition, the potential collaboration with Richmond allows the Company to have access to premium and
pharmaceutical grade cannabis, which will result in high quality, full spectrum cannabis oils, specifically CBD oils, that will
support the Company’s product development programs of novel delivery systems, such as, chewing gums, topicals, and alternate oral
forms.
