VANCOUVER, British Columbia – The Yield Growth Corp. (CSE: BOSS) (OTCQB: BOSQF) (FSE: YG3) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a distribution and licensing agreement dated August 25, 2019 with 2699598 Ontario Corp. DBA Melorganics Hellas (“Melorganics”) for European rights to six product formulas for CBD infusion for a fee of $900,000.
Yield has agreed to license to Melorganics in perpetuity the non exclusive rights to formulas and know-how to manufacture and distribute CBD foot cream, CBD body oil, CBD muscle relief balm, CBD body exfoliant, CBD relief gel and CBD hand cream. The formulas may be developed by Melorganics into products infused with CBD and other cannabinoids and distributed throughout the European Union under one brand to be developed by Melorganics (the “Brand”).
Yield shall have approval on the Brand and packaging of the products. The $900,000 fee is due within one week and may be paid by the issuance of Melorganics Units to Yield. Upon being issued Melorganics Units, Yield shall own approximately 18% of Melorganics and shall have the right to appoint a Director to the Board of Directors of Melorganics. The value of the Melorganics Units are based on the most recent private placement into Melorganics.
“We are excited to expand our relationship with Melorganics to bring our CBD products into Europe both as a new brand to be developed and also through the Wright & Well brand,” says Penny Green, CEO of Yield Growth. “The quality of our products and the strength of our brands allow us to continue to generate revenue and build our assets to bring value to our shareholders.”
Yield Growth has also agreed to grant Melorganics exclusive distribution rights to the Wright & Well brand of CBD products for the territory of Greece and Cyprus for a term of two years for a fee of $100,000, payable after a definitive distribution agreement is signed between the parties and after at least 3 Wright & Well products have been registered for sale within the European Union.
As previously announced, Melorganics was appointed as the exclusive retail distributor and non-exclusive e-commerce distributor for Yield Growth’s Urban Juve products in Greece and Cyprus. To maintain exclusivity in the territory, Melorganics must purchase a minimum amount of Urban Juve products of $300,000 in Year 1 and $500,000 in each subsequent year.
“We are delighted to partner with Yield Growth and now also have access to the Wright & Well Brand. Multiple SKUs is the best way to enter any market. Now when the product lines are also outstanding in quality, you really can’t go wrong,” says Tom Vachliotis, President of Melorganics Hellas.
Yield Growth is in the process of registering all of its Urban Juve products for sale in the European Union with 2 products approved to-date and 9 more anticipated to complete registration in the fall.
Yield Growth announces a financing of $500,000 through the issuance of special warrants at $0.30 convertible into units consisting of one share and one warrant to purchase an additional share at $0.35 for a period of two years.
