Aleafia Health Announces Termination of Supply Agreement with Aphria Inc.

TORONTO, October 8, 2019 – Aleafia Health Inc. (TSX: ALEF, OTC: ALEAF, FRA: ARAH) (“Aleafia Health” or the “Company”) announces that it has provided Aphria Inc. (TSX: APHA, NYSE: APHA) (“Aphria”) with a formal notice of the termination, effective October 7, 2019, of the wholesale cannabis supply agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) dated September 11, 2018 between Aphria and Emblem Corp. (“Emblem”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, providing for the provision by Aphria of up to 175,000 kg equivalents of cannabis products over an initial five-year term, commencing May 1, 2019.

Following Aphria’s failure to meet its supply obligations under the Supply Agreement, Emblem has exercised its contractual right to terminate the Supply Agreement in accordance with its terms. The termination of the Supply Agreement by Emblem was made without prejudice to its rights accrued to the date of termination (including its rights to be refunded the unused balance of its deposit) and its rights to seek damages as a result of Aphria’s default and termination thereunder.

The Company does not believe the termination of the Supply Agreement will materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, operations or results.
