TORONTO, July 22, 2019 /CNW/ - SLANG Worldwide Inc. (CNSX: SLNG), ("SLANG" or the "Company"), a leading global cannabis consumer packaged goods company with a robust portfolio of renowned brands distributed across 2,600 stores in 12 US states, today announced that it is entering the European Union, starting with Greece, through a partnership with Global Cannabis Corp. ("GCC"). GCC's wholly owned subsidiary, GCC Pharma S.A. is one of the first companies to receive a medical cannabis installation license from the government of Greece for cannabis cultivation, processing and manufacturing. SLANG has worked closely with GCC throughout the application process and has been instrumental in assisting GCC with the design and content of its license application. In exchange for the contribution of SLANG's specialized expertise, and continuing support, SLANG has been granted a 20% interest in GCC. SLANG intends to leverage its relationship with GCC to introduce its brand portfolio to the European Union, with products in market in 2020. The Company expects to collect licensing revenues in Greece similar to its partnerships in the United States. "The addition of GCC to SLANG's partner network is a major milestone in our global expansion strategy," said Peter Miller, CEO of SLANG. "This partnership can help lead to the awareness of our brands in new and key markets while leveraging the capital-light growth model that Slang has optimized in the United States." Greece has a population of 10.7 million and an annual health care expenditure of €14.3 billion with a cannabis market expected to reach €1.9 billion by 2028 (Source: Prohibition Partners – The European Cannabis Report, 4th Edition, January 2019). Medical cannabis use was legalized in Greece in June 2017. Shortly thereafter, in March 2018, lawmakers approved a law allowing the farming and processing of medical cannabis in Greece. With its ideal climate and agricultural expertise, Greece also has the opportunity to be a prominent supplier of cannabis and cannabis products throughout the EU where permitted. "We are extremely pleased to be amongst the first recipients of a cannabis license in Greece, a strategic entry point into the rapidly growing EU region with a population exceeding 740 million people," said Loannis Papadopoulos, CEO of GCC. "SLANG's diverse product portfolio and proven extraction and manufacturing expertise will be key to the timely introduction of our offering to medical cannabis patients." GCC Pharma's facilities are located just south west of the city of Chalkida, Greece. The property   is ideally situated approximately 90 minutes from Athens International Airport, in a pre-permitted agro-industrial zone with excellent existing infrastructure. The PowerOne Capital Group and other strategic partners have worked closely with GCC since inception. About SLANG Worldwide Inc.
