LAVAL, QC, Jan. 28, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ – Neptune
Wellness Solutions, Inc. (“Neptune” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NEPT) (TSX: NEPT), a diversified and fully integrated
health and wellness company focused on natural, plant-based, sustainable and purpose-driven lifestyle brands, announced today its
first commercial shipment of its in-house developed Cannabis brand Mood Ring™ Hashish products.
These in-house developed Cannabis brand Mood
Ring™ Hashish products will be distributed via the British Columbia Liquor Distribution Branch (BCLDB), the wholesaler
and public retailer of non-medical cannabis throughout the province. This commercial shipment follows Neptune’s December shipment
of Mood Ring™ High CBD Oil and High CBD Capsules.
Mood Ring’s THC dominant Legacy Hashish will
soon be available for purchase through the BC Cannabis Store online, the 25 government-run retail locations, and will be available
to the more than 300 private licensed retailers across British Columbia.
“This is a very exciting time for Neptune
as we have now commenced production of Mood Ring™ hashish utilizing our newly implemented and proprietary solventless extraction
for THC concentrates. We believe Mood Ring™ is well positioned to satisfy the significant consumer demand for affordable,
sustainable, premium cannabis products ,” said Michael Cammarata, President & Chief Executive Officer of Neptune Wellness
Solutions Inc.
Neptune has also secured a supply agreement
with the Ontario Cannabis Store (OCS), the wholesaler and sole online retailer for recreational cannabis in Ontario, for the sale
and distribution of Mood Ring™. With that supply agreement in place, the Company has secured access to a footprint for Mood
Ring™ totalling over 700 retail stores across British Columbia and Ontario, with the opportunity to scale to retailers in
additional provinces upon securing supply agreements.
