IM Cannabis Corp.

The export of medical cannabis from Israel is ahead of schedule, exactly one year after the Israeli cabinet issued final approval as part of an industry-wide reform. As one of the country's medical cannabis pioneers, IMC is working diligently to leverage export opportunities from Israel, under the new regulatory framework and supply-chain infrastructure that will facilitate these opportunities.

"There is a very large commercial opportunity for exporting medical cannabis from Israel into Europe and other international markets and we applaud the Israeli government for its vision in recognizing this market opportunity," said Oren Shuster Chief Executive Officer of IMC. "IM Cannabis is committed to delivering high-quality medicinal-grade cannabis products to its patients in Israel and establishing a leadership position in international markets by supplying branded medicinal cannabis products via the Company's fully-licensed import and export distribution facility."
