Harvest One Announces Management and Board Changes

October 9, 2020 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Harvest One Cannabis Inc. (“Harvest One” or the “Company“) (TSX-V: HVT; OTCQX: HRVOF) announced today a number of management and Board changes as the Company nears completion of its Strategic Review process and takes further steps to rightsize its organizational structure. Having led the Company through its Strategic Review, Andy Bayfield will transition to the Board of Directors from his role as Interim Chief Executive Officer and Gord Davey has been appointed as President and Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Mr. Davey has more than 20 years’ experience in the consumer-packaged goods industry, having successfully led CPG teams and product launches at Coca-Cola, Red Bull and Puratos. Gord previously held the position of General Manager of Dream Water and LivRelief business units and has been an integral part of the Company’s leadership team since joining Harvest One in 2018.

As Interim CEO, Mr. Davey has also been appointed as a member of the Board of Directors, and Mr. Bayfield will remain on the Board and continue to support Harvest One as it transitions to become a cannabis-focused Consumer Packaged Goods (“CPG”) company. In addition, Peter Wall, Chairman of MMJ Group Holdings Limited (“MMJ”), Harvest One’s largest shareholder, will step down from the Board effective September 30, 2020. MMJ has made a decision to not have its officers serve on investee company boards and has requested instead the right to have Observer status, which the Company has granted. Mr. Wall will continue to serve as the Non-Executive Chairman of MMJ.

The Company also announced the resignation of Deb Milimaka Miles from her role as Chief Administration Officer and Chief People Officer.
 
Frank Holler, Executive Chairman of the Company, stated: “I would like to thank Peter Wall and Andy Bayfield for their contributions to the Company as we worked to transition Harvest One into a lean, cannabis-focused CPG company. I am pleased that Andy will continue to contribute his expertise and experience as a Director. Gord Davey is an ideal replacement given his substantial CPG experience with worldwide brands and his intimate knowledge of the Company’s consumer division. Finally, I would also like to thank Deb Milimaka Miles for her services, in particular her work with the Special Committee in divesting a number of non-core assets.”
