(“Ovation” or the “Company”), with its proprietary topical and transdermal cannabis products powered by its patented skin delivery technology Invisicare®, today announced the official launch of its topical product line in Nevada with Planet 13 Holdings, Inc. (CSE: PLTH | OTCQX: PLNH) (“Planet 13”). These products will be available in store, reach customers through wholesale channels and the hemp derived products will be available online, marking an exciting expansion of Planet 13’s product offerings. The cannabis derived topicals will be manufactured at the Planet 13 SuperStore in the state-of-the-art production facility where visitors can watch products being made, further enhancing the immersive customer experience that Planet 13 is renowned for. Planet 13’s 112,000 square foot SuperStore and entertainment complex is located just off The Strip in Las Vegas. Planet 13 accounts for approximately 9-percent of the cannabis retail market share for the entire state of Nevada.
“The launch of our topical products with Planet 13 in Nevada is exciting for the Company,” said Terry Howlett, President of Ovation. “Our products have always sold extremely well in Nevada; holding the position of #1 Topical for many years.” He added, “Planet 13 has had extensive success in the past selling our topicals, but this time with the added incentive of launching the four products under their own brand. We know consumers will also be excited to see these topicals available throughout Nevada and in turn this will generate maximum revenue for Ovation and value for our shareholders.”

Introducing a MEDIZIN branded topical line perfectly aligns with our strategic goals in Nevada, allowing us to leverage our production facility to expand our brand presence and boost wholesale revenue,” explained Bob Groesbeck, Co-CEO of Planet 13. “We’re thrilled to secure the Nevada rights to Ovation Science’s patented technology and to harness the strength of our beloved MEDIZIN brand to dominate a new product category. This endeavor marks a significant stride towards optimizing our production facility, driving revenue growth, and enhancing our gross margins.”

Ovation leverages its expertise in the pharmaceutical industry by using its patented skin delivery technology Invisicare® in its highly effective, proprietary products. Invisicare, backed by over 20 years of research and development, enables substantially more CBD and THC and other cannabinoids to be delivered to and through the skin, which translates into better results for patients. In a recent in-house study, Ovation compared five CBD brand leaders to Ovation Science’s topical CBD cream. All competitor creams tested release less than 2% CBD compared to 40% release from Ovation Science products.
