Update on Trading Halt

Conference Call Details

Once filed, the Company will host a conference call in order for Company management to discuss the recent trading halt, its year end audited financials, the November 26, 2018 British Columbia Securities Commission’s order, the performance of the Company’s various divisions, as well as to provide an operational outlook for 2019.

Final details of the conference call will be announced following the filing of the Company’s audited financial statements.

About Abattis Bioceuticals Corp.

Abattis is positioned to be a leader in the cannabis industry as a fully integrated medicinal cannabis company. The Company’s flagship cultivation asset is located on beautiful British Columbia’s Gabriola Island. Starting with 26,000 square feet and expandable across 8 acres, our Gabriola Green Farms Inc. (“Gabriola”) facility plans to grow medical-grade marijuana as well as select craft strains of infamous “B.C. Bud”. In addition, Abattis has been aggressively building its portfolio of complimentary assets which includes the acquisition of 140 genetic strains and the acquisition of NutriVida, a fertilizer company which offers a robust portfolio of fertilizers and nutrients, custom formulated for the emerging cannabis market.

Abattis has also continued to organically grow its products and services divisions as it strives to become one of the industry’s most dynamic vertically integrated cannabis companies. This ranges from its Abattis-branded vaporizer line, now sold nationally in Shefield and Sons, to the recent launch of its first proprietary cannabinoid therapeutic, COMFORT™, formulated to treat chronic pain and inflammation. Abattis also continues to service the cultivation industry through its preferred service agreements with Northern Vine Canada Inc., a licensed laboratory which was recently sold to Emerald Health Therapeutics Inc., and Dicentra Inc., one of Canada’s largest regulatory advisory firms.

To further its reach into the cannabis space, Abattis has made several strategic investments to ensure it has a piece of key evolving areas as the industry matures.  One such investment is into cutting-edge research performed in partnership with the University of British Columbia and Mitacs, to research and develop nanoemulsified cannabinoid-rich hemp oil, as well as continuing to develop cannabinoid-infused products such as cannabinoid-rich beer and infused sunscreen. Abattis has also made key investments into XLABS Therapeutics (ONT) Inc., building one of Canada’s largest cannabinoid manufacturing labs as well as into certain blockchain service and cryptocurrency platforms solely focused on cannabis product and service transactions.
