Mr. Moore succeeds Navdeep Dhaliwal, who has departed the Company. The Company is in the process of engaging a leading, nationally recognized search firm to identify and evaluate a new CEO to lead Supreme Cannabis in its next phase of profitable, long-term growth.

"Today, with Supreme Cannabis firmly established as one of the world's fastest-growing, premium plant driven-lifestyle companies and our industry entering its second phase, the Board determined that the Company would benefit from leadership with the skills and experience to accelerate our growth and transformation into a leading cannabis CPG company," Supreme Cannabis Board Chairman, Michael La Brier said.

Going forward, we have a tremendous opportunity to drive profitable growth and cash flow by expanding our market position across all market segments and with new strains and product forms," said Colin Moore, Interim CEO and Director." Greater efficiencies and speed to market will come by rightsizing our production, overhead and capital. As we begin the search for the Company's next leader, I'm excited to get to work immediately on these priorities with a great team that is committed to delivering on Supreme Cannabis's great potential."
