The agreement with MBLL represents another milestone in the Company's strategic plan to work with regulators and distributors across the country.

Organigram has signed two previous memorandums of understanding including an MOU with the Government of New Brunswick (GNB), signed in 2017 to supply a minimum of 5-million grams of cannabis a year worth an estimated retail value of between $40-million to $60-million per year.
