HEXO and Entourage Health Sign Long-Term Supply Agreement

This news release constitutes a “designated news release” for the purposes of HEXO’s prospectus supplement dated May 2, 2022 to its short form base shelf prospectus dated May 7, 2021 and amended and restated on May 25, 2021.

GATINEAU, Quebec, Nov. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HEXO Corp. (TSX: HEXO; NASDAQ: HEXO) ("HEXO"), a leading producer of high-quality cannabis products, today announced the execution of a long-term supply agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) with Entourage Health Corp. (TSX-V: ENTG) (OTCQX: ETRGF) (FSE: 4WE) (“Entourage”), a Canadian producer and distributor of award-winning cannabis products.

Under the Supply Agreement, HEXO will provide Entourage with bulk dried cannabis and soft gel capsules, to be marketed to patients and consumers under Entourage’s family of brands. HEXO-branded products, including Gems cannabis soft gels, Redebles gummies from Redecan, and selected Redees premium pre-rolls as applicable, will also expand Entourage’s premium product offerings available to respective patients of Starseed Medicinal and Syndicate Cannabis medical marketplaces. This strategic relationship will allow HEXO to better address the needs of Canadian medical patients through Entourage’s medical channels. At the same time, Entourage will benefit from HEXO's leading cultivation and processing capabilities by obtaining a consistent supply of quality-produced, top-shelf cannabis and soft gel capsules to meet Entourage’s anticipated short-term demand.

“We are thrilled to partner with a like-minded company that has an unparalleled understanding and dedication to delivering the highest quality cannabis products to Canadians,” said Charlie Bowman, CEO of HEXO Corp. “This relationship with Entourage not only complements our growing health and wellness portfolio, but also accelerates our ability to grow the business and deliver premium cannabis products to more Canadians.”

“Collaborating with Entourage marks a significant milestone for HEXO in the Canadian medical market and highlights our commitment to addressing the range of consumer needs and market demand. We see increasing opportunity in medicinal and therapeutic products and believe the market fits well with our high-quality products,” added Bowman.

"We are excited about the opportunities this new relationship with HEXO brings to the medical cannabis market, which provides greater access for our patients and consumers as we expand our Starseed and Syndicate medical offerings, and distribution commitments," said George Scorsis, CEO and Executive Chairman, Entourage. "Leveraging HEXO’s cultivation capabilities will allow us to more comprehensively service all our markets and provide patients and consumers with a premium, consistent supply of cannabis. Securing a long-term wholesale supply commitment from HEXO also ensures that Entourage is well positioned to meet the growing demand for all its branded products, while we continue optimizing our operations.”

Supply Agreement Terms

The Supply Agreement provides for minimum annual purchase commitments by Entourage, with year-over-year increases. The prices of all products supplied under the Supply Agreement are fixed but subject to limited and periodical adjustments depending on prevailing production costs and market pricing. It includes exclusivity for HEXO in supplying the specified products, subject to certain exceptions including Entourage’s right to supply itself with such products. The Supply Agreement has a three-year term, which can be renewed for an additional three years at Entourage’s election on the same terms and conditions, subject to increased minimum annual purchase commitments over the course of the renewed term.

A copy of the Supply Agreement will be made available on Entourage’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
