(“Neptune” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NEPT) (TSX: NEPT) is pleased to announce new customer relationships for which the Company is expected to provide hemp-derived finished-form products and bulk extracts processed at Neptune’s U.S. extraction facility.

Included in these new relationships is a large and well-established nutraceutical company for which Neptune will supply hemp-derived finished-form products. Neptune has undergone a significant vendor vetting process resulting in being selected as a supplier. This is a testament to Neptune’s supply chain excellence, strict quality control and quality assurance framework, which the Company considers a differentiating factor in the U.S. hemp-derived marketplace.
“While our U.S. facility is already generating sales from its tolling services and bulk hemp-derived extracts, we are pleased to have initiated these new customer relationships for finished product
forms. Clearly, this is a step in the right direction to support our future growth strategy of expanding core customers and of supporting, consumer packaged goods companies and fragrance houses’ expansions into the space. Furthermore, we see significant potential to leverage our
existing nutraceutical customers as they decide to move into hemp-derived products,” said Michael Cammarata, CEO of Neptune.
