Calgary, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – July 6, 2022) – Dash Capital Corp. (“Dash“) (TSXV: DCX.P) and Simply Solventless Concentrates Ltd. (“SSC“) are pleased to announce that SSC has received its Health Canada standard cultivation, standard processing, and sales licenses (“Licenses“) and that SSC has closed its previously announced acquisition of the Rocky View cannabis facility (the “Facility“). Dash and SSC also announce that SSC has launched a private placement of convertible debentures for proceeds of $1,000,000 and that Dash, SSC and Dash Subco (as defined below) have entered into a second amending agreement to the Amalgamation Agreement (as defined below) dated June 20, 2022, with effect as of May 31, 2022 (the “Second Amending Agreement“).

Health Canada Licenses

The Licenses allow SSC to cultivate, manufacture/process, and sell products to all authorized provincial and territorial distributors/retailers as well as to registered medical patients.

Prior to receiving the Licenses, SSC built its team, quality management system, processes, and key client relationships while working in the Facility under the prior license holder. With a premier team of hashishins, SSC has successfully commercialized products across the entire solventless spectrum, including dry sift, traditional pressed hash, soft hash, flower rosin, bubble hash, hash/live rosin (and derivatives), and hash/live rosin vape sauce.

Rocky View Facility Acquisition

In addition to receiving the Licenses, SSC has closed on the previously announced acquisition of the Facility. The Facility totals 33,000 square feet, of which approximately 25,000 is licensed by Health Canada. With industry leading solventless production capacity, the Facility is ideally equipped for SSC to execute on its high-impact business plan and on its mission to provide pure, potent, terpene rich solventless concentrates to discerning cannabis consumers. SSC now has the infrastructure and facility to match its world class team of hashishins!

SSC’s Near-Term Objectives

SSC’s core focus is to achieve material revenue and profitability in the near-term. These objectives are underpinned by SSC’s team, B2B and tolling contracts with premier cannabis companies, the ability to produce consistently high-quality products at scale, and a reputation for exceptional customer service.

SSC is currently in the process of advancing its branded solventless products and expects to “hit shelves” across several product categories in early 2023.
