Neptune Wellness Solutions' Cannabis Brand, PanHash™, is Now Available in Quebec

Expansion into Quebec broadens Neptune's distribution to more than 80% of Canada's total addressable market

LAVAL, QC, May 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Neptune Wellness Solutions Inc. ("Neptune" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: NEPT) (TSX: NEPT), a diversified and fully integrated company, today announced the launch of PanHash™ in Quebec.

PanHash™, Neptune's cannabis brand specifically developed to reflect Neptune's Quebec roots and heritage, is launching two products with a high concentration of CBD: a cannabis oil and capsules. These products are produced using the Company's proprietary cold ethanol extraction process, which consumes significantly less energy than traditional CO2 extraction, preserving a high concentration of the plant's terpenes. 

Neptune cannabis products are available for adult-use in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario. With the launch of PanHash in Quebec, Neptune's PanHash™ and Mood Ring™ products may be sold in up to 1,600 locations throughout Canada and broadens distribution to more than 80% of Canada's total addressable market for legal cannabis.

Michael Cammarata, Neptune's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Entrance into Quebec, one of Canada's most populated provinces, is an important milestone in the expansion of our cannabis consumer packaged goods product lines. Our team remains committed to working closely with growers and distribution partners who share the same core values of sustainability, responsibility, and excellence to continue providing consumers with the safest and highest quality products available."
