About DanCann Pharma, the upcoming issue of units and listing at Spotlight Stock Market
DanCann Pharma is a pharmaceutical biotechnology company that was established in March 2018 due to the poor access for cannabinoid-based drugs and pharmaceuticals shortly after the establishment of the new Pilot Programme with medical cannabis in Denmark.

DanCann Pharma is licensed for handling of euphoriant substances, and during the summer 2018, the Company was licensed as one of the first companies in Denmark to handle and cultivate cannabis for medical use. DanCann Pharma is a vertically integrated company with upcoming activities from cultivation to refining of cannabis- and cannabinoids. DanCann Pharma’s business plan has several tracks, including, but not limited to: imports, R&D, and own in-house production (cultivation, refining and formulation).

The Company has with the existing equity secured the construction and launch of BIOTECH PHARM1. During 2018, 2019 and 2020, DanCann Pharma has worked extensively on developing a comprehensive Quality Management System (QMS) to ensure that all regulations, approvals and quality requirements are in order prior to the construction of BIOTECH PHARM1. When operational, the production facility will be among the most advanced and efficient in the world of pharmaceutical cannabis cultivation.
DanCann Pharma’s second production site, BIOTECH PHARM2, where the cannabis bulk is to be transformed into various patient-friendly products is expected to be operational before the end of 2021.

As of today, over +100 distinct cannabinoids (potential APIs) has been identified in the cannabis plant. While the main focus has been on the two major compounds, THC and CBD, DanCann Pharma unlock the true potential of cannabis by providing patients with an exclusive product portfolio, including rare and novel cannabinoids. Novel cannabinoid-based pharmaceuticals can unlock new treatment options and relief for a future wide range of diseases and conditions. By this the Company has a differentiated approach to the industry, by targeting supply and research of rare cannabinoids (APIs) for new, unexplored treatment options.
