Please note that the below is a corrected version of the news release previously disseminated December 13^th at 5pm. Beleave Inc. has advised that changes were made to the third and fourth paragraphs.

TORONTO, Dec. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Beleave Inc. (CSE: BE) (OTCQX: BLEVF) ("Beleave" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, following a detailed application and inspection process, it has received its Good Manufacturing Practices ("GMP") certification.

HACCP/GMP certification is part of the quality assurance that ensures that cannabis is consistently produced and controlled in a specific way to meet the quality standards appropriate to its intended use. This certification solidifies the practices the Company has been perfecting in relation to product development and it demonstrates our commitment to food safety and hygiene. It affirms to our customers that we have control systems in place to assure safe food production and opens up new business opportunities around the world. It affects every facet of the business; growing, processing, packaging, and everything in between.

This certification is only given to companies that exhibit a high standard of precision, consistency, and quality in their manufacturing practices and procedures. It is the highest level of recognition attainable by companies in the pharmaceutical space, and is the first major step for companies to supply the European market with medical cannabis.

"Receiving our GMP certification is the result of many teams coming together to achieve a common goal. This was a group effort that validates the strategy and accomplishments we've worked on throughout the year," said Andrew Wnek, Beleave CEO. "Earlier this year, we announced a partnership with Canymed to expand into the German marketplace. We are looking forward to completing the next step, a GMP country audit, so we can move forward with that expansion, and potentially other highly-regulated jurisdictions. Everyone involved is very proud of this accomplishment, but we won't stop here. We will continue to look at areas where we can improve product quality and reproducibility."

I look forward to the productive work and collaboration that will come of these initiatives."
