Organic Medical Growth Company Update
OMG, with its experienced management team, continues to execute
according to its strategic roadmap. Further developments that have
taken place since the signing of the memorandum of understanding
between the parties on February 14, 2019 include the following:
- OMG has signed a joint venture with Cannabolland Cluster S.A.S
("Cannabolland"), a vertical biotech cluster based in Piedemonte
Llanero region, Meta (Colombia) that groups companies with cannabis
licenses with the aim of structuring the companies, consolidating
the licenses, providing technical knowledge and infrastructure. As
per the joint venture agreement, OMG has now access to the planned
production of cannabis on 5,000 hectares of land with possible
extension of the cultivation licenses for all types of production
to the geographical area of the cluster (up to 12,000 acres). The
six companies within Cannabolland, that include 2,500 associated
growers, have 3 psychoactive (THC) and 3 non-psychoactive (CBD)
licenses, as well as 2 transformational (extraction) licenses. In

- OMG is working on the launch of 9 cannabis-based topical
products under the OMG brand. The first 2 products from the OMG
portfolio in Colombia will be distributed across Ortix network of
7,300 stores within the next 60 days.
OMG is actively pursuing a go-public transaction and focusing on
becoming a significant producer and supplier of medicinal cannabis
products and services in Colombia alongside companies such as
PharmaCielo and Khiron Life Sciences Corp. OMG is
positioning itself to become one of the lowest costs, high-margin
businesses operating in Colombia while delivering premium quality
cannabis products to their consumers.
"To see how quickly OMG is growing their business opportunities
in Colombia is exciting for Next Green Wave," stated Leigh Hughes,

gives us scope to do more in a low-cost, high-margin environment in
Colombia."
