The Wall Street Conference is the premiere conference in the venture capital arena and small-cap marketplace. Conference participants include industry leaders from the hedge fund, investment banking, and private equity worlds, as well as sophisticated investors, who attend to discuss significant trends in the financial markets.

Ziv Turner, OWCP's VP Business development and Managing Director of One World Cannabis, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, will provide conference attendees with an update about the Company's progress, specifically focused on its research and products in development, and most importantly the Company's plans for the future, sales and marketing in the US, Canada and Europe this year (2017). The Company is currently scheduled to give its presentation on or around 3:30 PM, as a follow to its advisory board member, Mr. Jeffery Friedland's key tone session. Other management team members, Mr. Mordehai Bignitz, Chairman and CEO and Dr. Yehuda Baruch, Chief Science Officer will also be available for one-on-one discussions during the conference.

Mr. Turner commented on the Company's participation in the event, "The Wall Street Conference is one of the leading conferences for small-cap investors and OWC is excited to be a part of it. OWC continues to make significant progress in the research and development of cannabis-centric medical treatments, specifically with our psoriasis cream, which is being readied for the U.S. and European markets. We are focused on having our products on the shelves in the MMJ states this year. I am very much looking forward to discussing the Company with conference attendees."

Jeffrey Friedland, a leader in the cannabis sector, author of Marijuana: The World's Most Misunderstood Plant, and a member of the Company's Advisory Board, is a featured speaker at the Conference. He is expected to discuss the opportunities for public company investments in the cannabis sector, and the positive impact that Israeli science and companies are having on the U.S. and Canadian cannabis markets. Mr. Friedland is CEO of Intiva Inc., which was an early-stage investor in OWC, and which made its investment in the Company during the summer of 2014.

When asked about his participation at the conference, Mr. Friedland stated, "The legal cannabis market has expanded considerably over the past two years, generating significant and growing investor interest. However, there are only a handful of publicly-traded companies focused on cannabinoid-based, pharmaceutical development and a true scientific approach to product development. I intend to discuss what I see as the publicly-traded cannabis opportunities at the Conference."

Subject to his schedule, Mr. Friedland will also be available for private meetings during the conference.
