Algae Dynamics Corp Announces Memorandum Of Understanding With Bonify for Supply of Cannabis, Oil Extraction and Sales

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - May 9, 2017) - ALGAE DYNAMICS CORP (OTCQB: ADYNF) (the "Company" or "ADC"), a company focused on the development of unique health products and pharmaceuticals utilizing cannabis, hemp and algae oils, today announced a Memorandum Of Understanding ("MOU") with 6779264 Manitoba Ltd dba Bonify ("Bonify"), to supply raw cannabis plant material for processing into cannabis oil for sale and for use in research. Bonify is a Licensed Producer, pursuant to the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations in Canada with the capability to grow multiple strains of cannabis in its state of the art 320,000 square foot facility. It is anticipated that this MOU will lead to definitive service and supply agreements to be negotiated in the near future.

Under the terms of the MOU, raw cannabis plant material will be shipped to ARA - Avanti Rx Analytics Inc. ("ARA"), a company with oil extraction capability with whom the Company has an agreement to test, formulate, manufacture and sell products under the current and/or future medical and recreational cannabis regulations, through subsidiary ADC Biomedical Corp ("BIO"), which is jointly owned by the Algae Dynamics and ARA.

The agreements with Bonify and ARA will help ensure a supply source for cannabis oils to be provided to the University of Waterloo and the University of Western Ontario, pursuant to the Sponsored Research Agreements ADC has in place with the two universities, as previously announced. In addition, the agreements put in place a near-term pathway to revenues by arranging product for export and/or sale to other Licensed Producers. Under the terms of the MOU, Bonify receives a right of first refusal option on cannabis oils processed from plant material supplied to BIO by Bonify.

Paul Ramsay, Chairman and President of Algae Dynamics, said, "This MOU represents another important piece of the puzzle to move forward with our strategy of developing unique health products and pharmaceuticals utilizing cannabis, hemp and algae oils. Securing supply of raw material is extremely important as the market for cannabis-related products develops, and that, along with the ability to extract oils, puts us in a strong position going forward."

As reported earlier, Algae Dynamics is continuing to seek opportunities to partner with or take ownership in existing Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR) licensed producers to allow for access to the marketplace. In addition, the Company intends to pursue its own license under the ACMPR in the near future.
