Nutritional High Expands Calyx’s Southern Califo

TORONTO, May 22, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nutritional High International Inc. (the " Company " or " Nutritional High ") (CSE:EAT) (OTCQB:SPLIF) (FRANKFURT: 2NU ) is pleased to announce the expansion of Calyx Brands, Inc.’s (" Calyx ") presence in Southern California through the purchase of a property in Long Beach (the " Facility ").  The Facility will be used as the Southern California distribution hub for the Company's subsidiary Calyx.

The Facility is a 7,000 sq. ft. building, 3,000 of which will be leased to a cannabis testing facility with the balance being utilized by Calyx. The Facility is fully compliant with current local and state cannabis licensing regulations and the Company's management anticipates an expedited licensing process as a result.

Terms of the purchase are as follows (all figures in USD$):

• Total purchase price of $1,900,000;
• $250,000 cash payment to be paid at closing;
• $801,000 to be paid in 3 equal instalments of $267,000, payable 6 months, 12 months, and 18 months from closing, respectively;
• The balance of the purchase price of $800,000 to be carried in a promissory note by the Facility's current owner at an annual rate of 4%, due to mature on or before June 1, 2021. In consideration of the promissory note the Company will make monthly payments of $23,619.19, which will be offset by month lease payments of $13,000 made to the Company by the tenant cannabis testing facility, resulting in a net payment burden of $10,619.19 per month.

Jim Frazier, CEO of Nutritional High, commented, "We are very pleased to announce our expanded infrastructure in Southern California to support the growth of Calyx’s distribution capabilities in this high value market. As we continue to build shareholder value by expanding our footprint, these opportunities are clearly in line with our vision of aggressively capturing market share and building the foundation to control a significant piece of the California cannabis market."

Dakota Sullivan, CEO of Calyx, added, "This additional infrastructure will allow Calyx to further ramp up our Southern California footprint as the market changes rapidly due to the continued roll out of State regulatory efforts. Regulatory change is, as expected, proving to be disruptive to brands, dispensaries and distributors and we will continue our aggressive expansion effort to grow market share.”
