Nov 19, 2013 - Abattis Appoints Rene David as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer

When asked to comment on his new appointment Mr. David replied, "I'm excited to join Abattis, Canada's first public company in the medical marihuana application process to become a licensed producer. I look forward to helping Abattis become a leader in this emerging industry in Canada. As the industry risk profile decreases through credibility and awareness of the true medicinal properties and health benefits of marihuana, we strive to offer a vehicle for the best quality product, customer experience as well as a conduit to investment in one of the fastest growing industries in North America."

Mr. Mike Withrow, Chief Executive Officer on behalf of the Company, stated, "We were very selective in our search for an operations person who also had skills in finance. With Rene joining the Abattis team we have better financial controls and increased knowledge in structured funding to ensure value in transactions as we move forward. I am pleased to have Rene join our team and welcome him to be a key part of the growth we have planned."
