Supreme Pharmaceuticals Provides Update on Funding, Kincardine Facility, and Leadership Transition Ahead of Investor Meeting
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwired – Nov 6, 2014) – Supreme Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”) (SPRWF)(SL.V) in conjunction with an “Investor Meet and Greet” to be held today at the Fairmont Pacific Rim in Vancouver BC, provides an update on the Company’s funding status, progress at its facility in Kincardine Ontario, and a leadership transition plan.
According to CEO David Stadnyk, “With yesterday’s private placement closing, we now have funding in place to complete our build-out of the Kincardine facility and take us through the licensing stage and beyond.” Stadnyk also stated that he expects the build-out of the Kincardine facility to be completed by the end of November. “Our team in Kincardine has kept this large and complex project running smoothly and on track,” Stadnyk added. “The skill with which they’ve handled this project confirms my conviction that we have the right team assembled to run operations on the ground.”
Finally, Stadnyk – who has a successful history of funding and staffing new ventures and then transitioning to the role of passive investor and business advisor-announced his plan to move out of his CEO and director roles with the Company.
“I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished at Supreme over the last year, and the contributions that I could make in its early stages,” said Stadnyk. “With our latest raise being finalized and with the management team we’ve assembled in Kincardine and Vancouver, I’m confident that the Company is positioned for an exciting future.”
With Stadnyk’s departure, Brayden R. Sutton, currently Executive Vice President for Supreme in Vancouver, will be expanding his role and taking on additional leadership responsibilities, and George Tsafalas, currently a director at Supreme, will step in as interim President. “We’re grateful for the contributions David has made to Supreme, and for putting the pieces in place for Supreme’s future success. I look forward to helping Supreme continue to grow into a leader in the medical marijuana industry,” said Sutton.
Chris Bechtel, who is currently on Supreme’s Advisory Board, will be appointed to the Board of Directors seat being vacated by Stadnyk. Stadnyk will remain involved in the Company by taking a seat on its Advisory Board.
