ArtemiCTM Rescue from Swiss PharmaCan AG

The first bulk order of ArtemiCTM Rescue delivered in March is part of a quarterly wholesale order quantity from SPC under the Master Agreement, which is to run for a minimum of 3 years. As announced on 18 February 2021, MGC Pharma signed an exclusive master supply and distribution agreement (the 'Master Agreement') with leading European nutraceutical producer and distributor, Swiss PharmaCan AG ("SPC") for the sale and distribution of the Company's food supplement ArtemiCTM Product line.

ArtemiCTM is a clinically tested food supplement (nutraceutical, dietary supplement, natural health product) containing four natural based ingredients consisting of Artemisinin, Curcumin, Boswellia serrata, and Vitamin C.

ArtemiCTM products

As the mechanism of action of ArtemiCTM Rescue is focused on the anti-inflammatory effect and reducing and prevention of cytokine storm, a wide spectrum of potential indications will be considered for future development.

The Master Agreement includes a minimum wholesale order quantity of 40,000 units per quarter. The Company will be responsible for providing ArtemiCTM Rescue to SPC and has the ability to produce commercial scale batches of both products through its current manufacturing capacity and production facility in Slovenia.

Roby Zomer, Co-founder and Managing Director of MGC Pharma, commented: "We are very pleased to complete our first batch purchase order for ArtemiCTM Rescue under our Swiss PharmaCan agreement. This, combined with sales growth of other pharma grade cannabinoid products in key markets, has helped to deliver the strongest month and quarter of revenue growth for the Company to date."

Nicole Godresse, Global Chief Sales Officer of MGC Pharma, commented: "The launch of ArtemiCTM Rescue represents a significant milestone for MGC Pharmaceuticals. We are encouraged by early clinical trial results and confident that ArtemiCTM Rescue will provide a highly effective and accessible over-the-counter, plant-basedtreatment option for patients, as well as contributing to the rapid acceleration of MGC Pharmaceutical's revenue growth in 2021 and beyond."
