European Hemp / CBD- A large undeveloped emerging market

•   Traditionally used for food & fibre, hemp is now being used to produce a variety of medicinal
    and healthcare products – largely hemp derived cannabidiol

•   In Europe, hemp is defined as cannabis containing less than 0.2% THC

•   The hemp flower can be used to
    create crude oil, distillate and an
    isolate depending on the intended
    use

•   Estimated current product demand
    outstrips supply 5 to 1

•   Significant demand in Europe for
    consistent high quality CBD

The Opportunity

•   Europe is estimated to produce close to 1/4 of the world’s hemp crop

•   European CBD market expected to boom - the market was estimated at $318 million in 2018
    and is expected to grow over 400 percent through 2023 (1)

•   But while hemp production and demand have rapidly grown, high quality extraction and
    processing has lagged

•   SV Pharma is poised to become a leading provider of CBD distillate and isolate in Europe

•    With speed to market a priority we will capture this opportunity and become a top player in
    the European extraction industry generating high returns on capital
