SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA and TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - March 6, 2017) -

THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. PERSONS.

The Tinley Beverage Company Inc. (the "Company" or "Tinley") (CSE:TNY)(CSE:TNY.CN)(OTC PINK:QRSRF) is pleased to provide an update on its recent activities, including the results of its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, held yesterday in Toronto, Canada.

Operating Highlights

  • Tinley's medical cannabis collective in California has partnered with a collective in San Francisco that will provide cannabis oil for Tinley's products. This collective serves over 10,000 cannabis patients.
  • Initial formulation batches of the Tinley '27 cannabis drinks have been produced, and the Company is working to produce an initial batch for sales samples and demonstrations, followed by a larger-scale production run.
  • Tinley is continuing to accept cannabis patients at www.tinleycollective.com.
  • ArcView research has reported that California's medical cannabis program generates $2.7 billion in revenue annually. This is roughly 9x the size of the Canadian medical cannabis system, and the Trump administration has commented on its continued commitment to allow states to implement medical cannabis programs. Tinley will look to pursue opportunities in California's recreational cannabis program as and when this program commences.
  • Hemplify, Tinley's line of drinkable hemp CBD products, has begun initial shipments and trials in stores including Sprouts (Eastlake and Chula Vista), Bristol Farms, GNC's LuckyVitamin.com and in several convenience store chains. The Company has received reorders at certain stores, and the majority of stores participating in the previously-announced convenience store trial have indicated interest in continuing to carry the product. 

Annual General Meeting

Tinley held its Annual and General Meeting of Shareholders on February 28th, 2017. At the meeting, Jeff Maser, David Ellison, Ted Zittell and Andrew Stodart were elected to serve on the board of directors for the coming year. David Posner did not stand for re-election and Tinley thanks him for his service to the company. Shareholders also approved the reappointment of Lipton, LLP Chartered Accountants as auditors for the company and authorized the directors to fix their remuneration.

"We are pleased with retailers' initial interest in carrying the Hemplify line of products. We are now working to drive consumer demand and launch additional hemp extract products into our existing retail channels. Our cannabis operations are nearing a commercial stage and we intend to continue to focus on the $2.7 billion medical cannabis industry in California," said Jeff Maser, CEO of Tinley.
