new hemp protein formulation enhanced with HempOmega(TM) and
flavour to meet Laguna's requirements. Laguna will contribute its
expertise as a marketing and sales company in the hemp food
products market and the purchase, sale and distribution of the
Laguna HempOmega(TM) Infused Protein Products.

Laguna HempOmega(TM) Infused Protein Products. Laguna must meet
minimum sales targets (to be agreed upon in the Agreement) in order
to retain exclusive rights to the product.

states, "Naturally Splendid is a leader in the research and
development, and production of hemp-based superfood products. We
are delighted to collaborate with NSP with the development of the

Agreement is subject to: (i) satisfactory due diligence regarding
the business and affairs of the parties, (ii) any necessary
contractual and other third party consents, and (iii) all necessary
regulatory consents and approvals required pursuant to applicable
law or in accordance with the rules of any stock exchange on which
the common shares of either party are listed for trading at the

shareholders of Laguna have entered into a share exchange agreement
(the "Share Exchange Agreement") whereby Grenadier
will purchase all of the issued and outstanding common shares of
