Aleafia Health Named Top Performing Company of the Year for TSX Venture 50
Aleafia Health Ranks First Based on Key Market Performance Measures Among all TSXV Listed Companies
First Time a Cannabis Company has Achieved Top Performing Company Honours
TORONTO, February 21, 2019 – Aleafia Health Inc. (TSXV: ALEF, OTC: ALEAF, FRA: ARAH) (“Aleafia Health” or the “Company”), has been named the TMX Group’s 2019 TSX Venture 50 top performing company of the year amongst all 2,000 TSX Venture Exchange listed companies. The award was based on three equally weighted criteria, market capitalization growth, share price appreciated and trading volume.
“Aleafia Health’s selection as the TSX Venture 50’s top performing company is a strong validator of our executional capabilities and relentless focus on providing quality medical cannabis care to our over 50,000 patients,” said Aleafia Health Chairman Julian Fantino. “I thank our staff, physicians, patients and shareholders for their support and role in this significant achievement.”
“Building on a strong foundation, Aleafia Health has had a landmark year,” said Aleafia Health CEO Geoff Benic. “In that time, we have purchased and brought our modern, automated greenhouse to a grow-ready state, launched our recreational retail and brands divisions with the Serruya Family and built a base of over 50,000 medical patients.”
“However, we are not content to celebrate past achievements,” Benic added. “The pending acquisition of Emblem positions Aleafia Health as a global cannabis health and wellness leader with national and global distribution in the medical and recreational sectors. As we integrate Emblem in the coming months, we will launch industry first, globally scalable cannabis education and e-commerce platforms, while expanding our recreational sector product and retail footprint. The best is yet to come.”
