SCHEDULE “A”

 

BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS PLAN OF THE COMPANY

 

The Company’s operating plan is to be a major supplier of Cannabis and Cannabis Extract products and ancillaries using the Distributor’s current and future global distribution network initially in Europe but not limited to Europe. The intent by each of the Company and the Distributor is that the business plans of the Company may evolve rapidly and frequent communication between the parties is expected relating to strategy and operations.

 

The role of the Company shall be to source Product (raw or finished) and the role of the Distributor shall be to refine (as needed), package and/or distribute the Product in accordance to the legislation and regulation of the jurisdictions into which the Product is being sold. The Distributor shall be responsible for meeting sales targets and keeping in accordance to distribution, packaging and proper regulatory approval and guidelines.

 

The Distributor shall be responsible for the distribution of the Product as well as the maintenance of correct marketing initiatives, promotions, product returns, labelling and correct and accurate distribution of the Product as required by the legislation and regulation of the jurisdictions into which the Product is being sold.

 

The Company and the Distributor’s principals will work collectively in order to realize value for the shareholders of the Company.

 

It is intended that future products and or Cannabis growing facilities be established as part of the Business, as evolving and continued synergies be explored by both parties, and it is the intention that the Distributor shall be granted a first but non-exclusive right to finance the Company if the parties agree.
