WeedMD Inc. (
TSX-V:WMD)
(OTCQX:WDDMF) (FSE:4WE) (“
WeedMD”
or the “
Company”), a federally licensed producer
and distributor of medical-grade cannabis, is pleased to announce
the results of its annual general and special meeting of
shareholders (the “AGM”) held on June 30, 2021. The shareholders
overwhelmingly approved all motions including allowing for a
corporate rebrand that will transition WeedMD Inc. into Entourage
Health Corp. (“Entourage Health”) over the next few months.
The Company expects to provide additional
information in respect of the proposed corporate rebrand and the
commencement of trading of the Company’s common shares on the TSX
Venture Exchange under the name Entourage Health Corp. over the
coming days.
“This is truly an exciting and transformative
time for our Company. WeedMD’s values and principles will always be
at the heart of who we are - advocates for our patients, consumers,
shareholders and communities upholding a standard that delivers on
quality, sustainability and experience – now rooted in Entourage
Health Corp.,” said George Scorsis, Interim CEO and Executive
Chair. “Entourage Health represents WeedMD’s evolution - from its
inception in 2013 as one of the first licensed producers, to its
launch of award-winning brands, followed by the merger with
Starseed Medicinal and pending addition of craft cultivator CannTX
– we are a group of professionals who always put the consumer and
patient first. We are now looking to develop and expand into new
markets and our cannabis experts that make up Entourage Health will
expedite and bolster our growth for years to come. I thank our
employees, partners and most importantly our shareholders for their
unwavering trust and commitment to our success.”
While WeedMD now transitions into doing business
as Entourage Health Corp., its Health Canada licence will continue
under its wholly owned subsidiary WeedMD RX Inc.

All other Company matters put forward at the AGM
were approved by the shareholders, including the re-election to the
Company’s board directors of Jason Alexander, Lu Cacioppo, Bruce

to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or
