Abacus Health Products Enters Agreement with WBC Group to Expand CBD CLINIC™ Distribution

Abacus Health Products, Inc. (CSE: ABCS, OTCQX: ABAHF) (“Abacus” or the “Company”) today announced the expansion of the distribution capabilities of its CBD CLINIC product line through an agreement with WBC Group, LLC (“WBC”).

WBC is one of the largest distributors of medical supplies to chiropractors, physical therapists, massage therapists and other health and wellness professionals in the United States. Under the agreement, which is effective November 1, 2019 for a term of 39 months, WBC, through its wholly owned subsidiary MeyerDCTM, will market and distribute CBD CLINIC products to its customers. MeyerDC is the official distributor of the American Chiropractic Association and operates distribution centers in California, Ohio and Florida.

“This agreement is a step change for Abacus in terms of the number of chiropractors and health and wellness professionals that will now have access to CBD CLINIC products.” Said Abacus CEO Perry Antelman “We are delighted to partner with WBC, an established and highly respected partner to the health-care practitioner market.”

The CBD CLINIC line of products was launched in 2016 and includes a line of pain-relieving ointments, creams and oils used by health care practitioners in their practices as well as sold by them to their customers. CBD CLINIC products are currently being sold to over 12,000 licensed professionals across the United States. According to a third-party survey 9 out of 10 health care practitioners who use CBD CLINIC™ recommend it over other topical analgesics. *

*Data is based on a third-party survey with 253 respondents. Chiropractors, Message Therapists, Acupuncturists and Physical Therapists comprised 96% of health care practitioners who responded to the survey.
