(CSE: EASY) (Frankfurt: 39H) (the "Company" or "SpeakEasy") a holder of a federal licence to cultivate, process and sell cannabis under the Cannabis Act is delighted to announce it has signed a Non-Binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") with a Canadian Licensed Producer (the "LP") whereby the Company agrees to supply and process cannabis for the LP with its value added products, including extracts, pre-rolls and packaged flower from our indoor and outdoor facilities for an initial term of six (6) months with an option to extend for an additional six (6) month term upon mutual agreement of the parties.  A Definitive Supply Agreement is expected to be completed on or about than April 2, 2021.

Founder, Marc Geen states, "This LOI represents a significant shift in SpeakEasy's business operations. The years of building and growing to where the Company will have culminated in its ability to process and sell large volumes of flower and value-added products such as pre-rolls and concentrate into the Canadian recreational market. We will continue to prepare for our amended sales licence, which is expected within the next 30-45 days, allowing us to sell value-added products directly into the recreational market.  This arrangement does not affect our ability to do that.  Upon the successful execution of the Definitive Agreement, the Company will add additional revenue, visibility and financial de-risking for a significant portion of the expected production from the on-going growth of our cannabis complex."

Sales of sun grown flower and value added products

Creation of extracted products from our outdoor flower has created interest in the market and has translated into SpeakEasy's first significant letter of intent for a processing and supply arrangement. Concentrates, pre-rolls and flower as a finished product constitute the majority of the products contemplated under this LOI.

Marc Geen, Founder, additionally states, "We have begun the process of registering with several provinces for licences to sell into the recreational market. Once registered, SpeakEasy will be able to sell under its own brand in those provinces. White labeled, finished products and the supply of bulk processed material is expected to remain an important part of our business plan but supplying finished products under our own brands directly to consumers is an exciting prospect that is just around the corner."

About the crop

Products created from our 60 acre outdoor harvest are of a very high quality and because of the low-cost per gram material, we are able to target the lowest price of finished products. Products such as live resin sugar, vape, diamonds and sauce created from our 30,000 pounds of fresh frozen material have been well received and plan to introduce into the market at or below the lowest price currently being sold.

Marc Geen further states, "Our outdoor flower is keeping exceptionally well and everything we are creating from it is outstanding. Our decision to use these specific genetics, harvest and store it the way we did has worked out better than I had hoped. It's hard to go wrong with whatever we create when we start with such beautiful material. This LOI, while significant, still leaves us with sufficient product to expand into provinces with our own brands and not risk running out completely before our next harvest, which is expected 6 months from now. I usually take a line or two to thank the incredible members of our SpeakEasy family and this release is no exception. Every day is a pleasure to work with you all and the work we are accomplishing together is inspiring, thank you for everything."
