VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 16, 2020 / Mota Ventures Corp. (CSE:MOTA) (FSE: 1WZ:GR) (OTC: PEMTF) (the "Company") announces that it has entered into a joint venture agreement (the "JV Agreement") dated February 14, 2020, with BevCanna Enterprises Inc. (CSE: BEV, Q: BVNNF, FSE: 7BC) ("BevCanna"), pursuant to which the parties intend to partner in the development of a joint venture (the "Joint Venture") to distribute BevCanna branded products infused with hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) in the European market.

The Joint Venture will hold exclusive rights to sell and market BevCanna house brand lines of hemp-derived CBD products in Europe and will operate for an initial five-year term. Of BevCanna's multiple house brands the Joint Venture intends to launch, the parties have agreed to commence operations initially with "LEV", a line of fruit forward lightly sparkling CBD-infused spring water beverages, and water-soluble powders, which incorporates BevCanna's proprietary method for the nano-delivery of cannabinoids.

Under the JV Agreement, the Company and BevCanna will share equal ownership in the Joint Venture and will be jointly responsible for developing and funding its operations. In addition to capital, BevCanna will contribute proprietary brands, product formulations, formulas for nano-encapsulated water-soluble powders, marketing and manufacturing expertise to the Joint Venture. The Company will provide manufacturing, marketing and distribution infrastructure in the European market. The parties have determined an initial product launch and will provide further details on specific regions and timing once finalized.

"Beverages are a healthier way to consume CBD, as they are a non-carcinogenic familiar consumption format and contain precise dosages per serving. Water-soluble cannabinoids are absorbed by the body through the blood stream as opposed to the liver, making the actual dosage ingested more bioavailable and accurate. The absorption rate (bioavailability) of water-soluble CBD is up to two times faster than oil-based products, effectively achieving the same results in less time," stated Joel Shacker, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Finalization of the Joint Venture remains subject to the establishment of a joint venture company by the parties, and the licensing and registration of intellectual property for use in Europe.
