DanCann Pharma A/S: DanCann Pharma A/S: A strong and growing organization is ready to fulfill the commercial ambitions

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, November 10, 2022 - DanCann Pharma A/S (SS: DANCAN) ("DanCann Pharma" or the "Company"), a Danish company powered by cannabinoids, hereby announces that the Company has strengthened its organization on key positions during 2022 and is ready to meet market demands and expectations following the current Rights Issue and forthcoming approval from the Danish Medical Agency.

DanCann Pharma is right now carrying out a rights issue with a purpose of adding additional capital to the Company. The issue, which runs until Friday 11 November at 17:00, is 77% guaranteed in advance and will - if fully subscribed - add DKK 28.5 million to the Company's business areas. If the transaction is signed fully, it will be sufficient funding until DanCann Pharma reaches break-even. The Company expects this to happen during 2024.

DanCann Pharma is currently preparing to host an inspection from the Danish Medicines Agency for the approval of Biotech Pharm1 and DanCann Pharma's documentation and quality systems according to EU standards for good manufacturing practice (EU-GMP). The Company expects to have the approval in place before the end of the year. And DanCann Pharma has a strong team lined up to fulfill the great ambitions that the Company has for the future.

Jeppe Krog Rasmussen, CEO of DanCann Pharma, comments:

- Over the past year, we have upgraded significantly with key people both in the organization and on the board, and we aim to have a top professional approach to everything we do. This is what our many investors expect, as they loyally support and show great faith in our development potential. As a Company, we are facing an exciting future, and fortunately there are many skilled industry professionals who want to join us on that journey.

Since its foundation in 2018, DanCann Pharma has taken giant strides towards establishing itself as a manufacturer and distributor of products on the medical cannabis market. In October 2021, DanCann Pharma acquired the wholesale company CannGros and overnight became the market leader with license and sales rights for the three products available on the market under the Danish Pilot Programme.

Jeppe Krog Rasmussen comments on the organization:

- We have employed a strong industry profile, Louise Conradsen, as CEO of CannGros and as part of the management of DanCann Pharma. CannGros has proven to be a strong acquisition and an important addition to our business. When we bought the company, DanCann Pharma got the desired commercial leg added, and it has already yielded results, because Louise has been responsible for negotiating the newly concluded distributor agreements with German WEECO Pharma and Polish Storkpharm.

In the spring, DanCann Pharma employed Sarah Mai Holm as COO to be in the forefront of the approval process for EU-GMP-certification of the facility (Biotech Pharm1) with the QA- and production-department. Together with Jeppe Krog Rasmussen, Louise Conradsen and CFO Martin Ernst Vedel, she makes up the day-to-day management of DanCann Pharma. On 1 September, Charlotte Hagedorn Jørgensen joined as Head of Quality Assurance with 20 years of experience from the pharma sector. Today, DanCann Pharma host approximately 15 employees, which is expected to raise to approximately 30 within a few years.
