HempTech (HTCO) Announces Corporate Name Change to "NUVUS" to Reflect Broader Industry Commitment -- Company to Explore Expanding into Canada Selling Technology to Biggest players in the Cannabis Industry

SAINT PETERSBURG, FL--(Marketwired - Jul 6, 2017) - HempTech Corp. (OTC PINK: HTCO), a provider of advanced Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) with sophisticated automation and analytical tools for the agricultural industry including legal medical cannabis, announces today that it is changing its corporate name to Nuvus Corp. The name change reflects the company's broader industry commitment and its expertise in driving the innovations needed to shape the future of the agricultural (and Cannabis) industry through unique technological innovations with IoT at the center of its all. We are planning to reshape the agricultural industry by innovative communication technologies, precise analytics, crop management, business intelligence software and energy conservation.

"The new name -- Nuvus Corp -- allows us to emphasize our wide-ranging business objective around agricultural industry as a whole and changing the way medical marijuana is grown by growers/cultivators for patients, with the goal of increasing purity, efficiency, lowering costs and improving quality," said Sam Talari, CEO of HempTech Corp. "As a company with its roots in automation technologies and energy management systems, we are committed to delivering breakthrough products and services that will help connect all the points in the care continuum for the agricultural industry and medical marijuana patients globally."

The Company has also been in communication with Canadian representatives to explore expanding its operations into Canada. With the global cannabis market to be worth $200 billion, with medical marijuana accounting for up to 50 percent of that, currently, there are four giant companies that effectively control the medical marijuana sector in Canada which have clearly established a first-mover advantage. There are currently 29 countries that recognize some form of medical cannabis, but only two of those countries -- Canada and The Netherlands -- export weed for medical use. In fact, the medical marijuana export market is dominated by just four Canadian weed producers.

Canadian marijuana companies are ahead of the curve in terms of making their mark overseas, as they scramble to collaborate with foreign medical marijuana producers and pharmaceutical companies keen on discovering and potentially patenting marijuana-based cures. For example, Germany recently approved medical marijuana legislation, but there's almost still no infrastructure to actually grow cannabis there. Until the proper framework allows local producers to cultivate the crop within their own country, German patients are dependent on exported medication.

With the rapid growth of the medical and the coming recreational cannabis in Canada, HempTech will find fertile ground for its technology with the biggest cannabis growers in Canada, crossing the borders all the way to Europe through Canada.

Also in conjunction with the name change, the company is expanding into acquiring medical grow/extraction/dispensary licensing from the States of FL, Oregon, Nevada, Massachusetts, NY and California. The expansion will include building out large grow facilities using indoor, greenhouse and container model for lease to the approved license holders. We will be announcing large implementation of our "Lease Model" in the coming weeks.

The Company will initiate the name change after filing its annual report due on July 31, 2017. Post name change, HempTech will continue as a business unit of the Company catering mostly to the Hemp industry and its technology needs.

HempTech is committed to bringing cutting edge technology to cannabis growers everywhere. Through the perfect blend of technology and human experience, HempTech brings you the best in automation technologies, smart cultivation tools and business software solutions.
