About Sativa wellness

Sativa Wellness, is a fully integrated European seed to consumer CBD group with the pricing, products, and stability to meet the CBD market demand in the medium term. With world-class extraction and formulation experts, experienced hemp cultivators, along with laboratory testing capabilities, the group has established itself globally as a trusted source of high-grade, premium wholesale CBD brands and products.

The merger of Sativa Group and Stillcanna brings together expertise that cover all stages of the product development lifecycle, from seed through to cultivation and extraction, and now testing, bottling and distribution.

The new Sativa Wellness Group is now a true European seed to consumer CBD wellness company, with leading consumer brands, company managed cultivation of raw materials, and company owned extraction, bottling and testing capabilities. This complete supply chain custody model ensures that consumers get CBD products they can trust.

“We are thrilled to have completed the process of combining our two businesses to form a leading European CBD Wellness company”, stated Henry Lees-Buckley CEO of Sativa Wellness. “Discerning consumers demand very high quality and compliant products and we believe the best way to ensure the Company is able to fulfill this demand is to have management control throughout the entire production, manufacturing and distribution process. The regulatory environment in the UK and Europe are also rightly demanding companies achieve new compliance standards such as the UK FSA Novel Foods accreditation. We expect our products will be validated by the UK FSA by the March 2021 deadline”, added Henry.

Brands

Sativa is focused on developing consumer products under the core “Goodbody” brand. The Goodbody brands are available online and in a growing number of retailers across the UK, all with the commitment of “CBD you can Trust”. The plan is to extend the Goodbody brands and product ranges into new markets throughout continental Europe.

Goodbody Botanicals offers a wide range of CBD products including gels, balms, capsules, tinctures, gummies and more. The Goodbody Botanicals brand is available at the “goodbodystore.com” and in hundreds of pharmacies and leading retailers across the UK, such as WH Smith.

The Goodbody Wellness brand is focused on delivering premium products such as its signature “Orange and Lemon flavored CBD with Vitamin D”. This brand is also available online at the “goodbodystore.com” and is targeting health and beauty markets as well as high end retailers.

We continue to expand our product offerings in alignment with consumer demand, building the range of products on offer. Additional Goodbody product lines such as Goodbody sanitizer and Goodbody Hemp have also been launched and compliment the core CBD product offerings.

As a fully vertically-integrated company, Sativa not only manufactures its own core products but also offers white label private manufacturing and branding services for customers in the UK and Europe. The Company not only supplies the raw CBD isolate and distillate ingredients, but also provides the formulation, bottling and testing services to other CBD companies across Europe.

Cultivation and Extraction Capabilities

Sativa’s primary agricultural, cultivation and extraction business is based in Poland, and is called Olimax. Olimax is responsible for the Company’s agricultural initiatives including biomass partnerships throughout Europe. It is responsible for the operation of the Company’s state of the art ethanol extraction facility in Poland providing high quality CBD products to meet internal needs and importantly providing the key ingredients to third party customers. The Olimax extraction facility is designed to process over 400,000 kilos of CBD rich hemp biomass annually. The Olimax facility produces both THC free CBD isolate and distillate for the global marketplace and is fully operational and in production today.

Additionally, a wholly owned subsidiary, Borganic Consulting Inc., recently built a modern extraction facility in Romania with a joint venture partner Dragonfly Biosciences of London (“Dragonfly”). The facility is now fully licensed and is capable of processing over 400,000 kilos of CBD rich biomass annually. Borganic served notice of termination of its joint venture with Dragonfly on August 17, 2020 as a result of a contract dispute with Dragonfly. The Company anticipates the issues will be resolved over the coming months and will provide a further update once available.

Testing Laboratories

PhytoVista Laboratories (“PVL”) is Sativa’s independent analytical hemp and CBD testing facility. PVL provides laboratory support to retailers, distributors and manufacturers by expertly testing the cannabinoid levels of the hemp and CBD products. PVL is one of the UK’s most trusted laboratories operating to GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) and ISO 17025 standards, with the aim of being fully ISO accredited in 2020. 90% of the revenue of this laboratory is generated by external customers with the balance from internal product testing.

The Olimax facility in Poland also has a modern laboratory with state-of-the-art equipment and trained scientists. This laboratory is currently used for internal product testing, but it is envisaged that this would also become an external customer focused laboratory alongside the UK PhytoVista team.

General

In addition to the commercial operating activities, a wholly owned subsidiary “Sativa Cultivation and Extraction Ltd” holds a Controlled Drug License for the cultivation, production and possession of high THC content cannabis in the UK for medical research as part of the Company’s partnership agreement with King’s College London to research the impact of cannabinoids on inflammation and respiratory conditions.
