NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF UNITED STATES SECURITIES LAW.

Supreme Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Supreme" or the "Company") (CSE:SL) is pleased to announce that it has closed a private placement financing (the "Financing") on an oversubscribed basis for gross proceeds of $257,634.96. Upon closing the Financing, Supreme issued 780,712 units comprised of 780,712 common shares in the Company ("Common Shares") and 390,356 Common Share purchase warrants ("Warrants") at a price of $0.33 per unit. Each Warrant is exercisable for one Common Share at a price of $0.50 per share prior to January 23, 2017, subject to an accelerated expiry period upon 30-days notice by the Company to the subscriber, if the Common Shares trade above $0.70 for any five (5) day period during the term of the Warrants.

"This private placement represents another manifestation of the tremendous support we have enjoyed from the Kincardine community," stated John Fowler, President of the Company. "We were approached by a number of local residents and contractors who wanted to participate in the Company's success by investing in the private placement. That interest and enthusiasm resulted in the Company raising more funds than initially expected. This type of backing, and the general support of the Kincardine community, is one of our greatest assets. It has allowed us to move quickly through the pre-license phase of our business and leaves us excited for what lies ahead."

The Company paid aggregate finders' fees of $5,942.92 and issued 8,794 Warrants to certain arm's-length parties in the connection with the Financing. The Common Shares and Warrants issued pursuant to the Financing are subject to a hold period that expires May 23, 2015. Following closing, Supreme has 78,252,201 Common Shares issued and outstanding. Proceeds will be used for general working capital purposes.
