TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - April 17, 2015) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Supreme Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the "Company") (OTC PINK:SPRWF)(CSE:SL) announced today that it increased the size of its previously disclosed non-brokered private placement of secured convertible debentures (the "Financing") in response to greater than anticipated investor demand and has closed the books on approximately $1.4 million of subscriptions. As of April 17, 2015, Supreme is no longer accepting subscriptions for the Financing and anticipates closing the Financing on or about April 23, 2015.

"Management is gratified to see such a positive response from the investment community," stated John Fowler, President of the Company, "We are thrilled to be in a position to close the Financing on an oversubscribed basis so quickly. With the Financing, Supreme is well positioned to continue to develop our post-license business plan and execute on our long term operational objectives."

Currently, the Company continues to develop its business by engaging with various health care providers, patient groups and potential wholesale partners. The Company believes these relationships will increase its ability to generate additional revenues from both wholesale and retail sales when operations commence.

The Company has also continued to refine its operational plans at the Kincardine greenhouse. Mr. Fowler stated, "While we await our pre-license inspection, management has been working diligently to train our team on the procedural aspects of medical cannabis production while constantly refining our production program to improve operational efficiencies."

In relation to the previously announced management transition to Ontario, Tatiana Kovaleva will be resigning as the Company's Chief Financial Officer. Cailin Ghelsen, the Director of Finance for the Company's wholly owned subsidiary 8528934 Canada Ltd. ("AMMCan"), will be appointed as the interim Chief Financial Officer. Peter Herburger, the CEO of AMMCan, will be appointed as Supreme's Director of Operations.

Completion of the Financing remains subject to standard closing conditions including the execution of definitive transaction documentation and customary post-closing filings with the Canadian Securities Exchange. Further details concerning the Financing may be found in the Company's Form 9 filed on the Canadian Securities Exchange website.
