("Naturally Splendid") (FRANKFURT: 50N ) (TSX-V: NSP ) (OTC:NSPDF) is pleased to announce we will be presenting an expanded line of CBD formulated products at FOODEX JAPAN 2017 from March 7-10 in addition to the line of CBD formulated capsules announced in a previous news release.

Naturally Splendid is pleased to announce its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary has signed an exclusive sales agreement with a leading CBD manufacturer for a complete suite of CBD formulated products.

The exclusive sales agreement is for a term of three (3) years, provided Naturally Splendid reaches certain cumulative sales volumes, and covers Japan as well as additional countries. The additional countries will be announced on a timely basis as the strategic marketing plan is implemented to cover these multiple territories.

In total, Naturally Splendid will be launching nine (9) CBD formulated SKUs under this agreement and four (4) CBD formulated SKU’s including one energy gum product from a previous announced exclusive sales agreement.  This represents a total of fourteen (14) new SKUs to be launched at FOODEX JAPAN.

Naturally Splendid President Mr. J. Craig Goodwin states, “ We are most pleased to be able to complete these two exclusive sales agreements, which combined represent a comprehensive CBD formulated line of products. Japan will be our initial target. However, our exclusive sales agreements cover multiple countries and we will be systematically launching this CBD product line in countries that have already been identified. We will continue to source additional CBD formulated products to augment the CBD products which we now offer.”

Naturally Splendid CEO Dave Eto States, “ This now provides our new product line NATERA ® CBD with versatility in marketing and also allows us to be nimble when approaching new customers. We see this as a positive step towards internationally branding our entire NATERA® division, which includes; NATERA® INGREDIENTS, NATERA® HEMPFOODS, NATERA® SKINCARE and NATERA® CBD. I look forward to providing updates on our integration of this branding strategy and to provide updates from our trip to FOODEX JAPAN.”
