TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Dec. 28, 2016) - Nutritional High International Inc. (the "Company" or "Nutritional High") (CSE:EAT)(CSE:EAT.CN)(OTCQB:SPLIF)(FRANKFURT:2NU) is pleased to announce two key developments relating to Aura Health Corp. ("AHC"). AHC is a private company that is partially owned by Nutritional High, focused on development and acquisition of marijuana health clinics in the United States (please see press releases dated November 11, 2016 and November 17, 2016).

Acquisition of the Second Clinic

Through its subsidiaries, AHC has made a 50% deposit to acquire a 30% investment interest in its second clinic, to be opened in a busy retail district in Mesa, Arizona. The transaction will close on or before January 31, with the doors expected to open in February 2017. The clinic will be operated by Sun Valley Certifications Clinics Holdings, LLC. As with other such investments, AHC has an Option to acquire 51% ownership of the Clinic within 18 months of the initial investment. In November 2010, voters passed the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act ("AMMA"), also known as Proposition 203, designating Arizona Department of Health Services ("ADHS") to administer the medical marijuana program in the State. According to ADHS annual report, in 2015 there were a total of 77,639 Qualifying Patients in the state, which is approximately 1.2% of the total state population. There are a total of 14 qualifying conditions, which includes: cancer, Hepatitis C, cachexia, seizures, glaucoma, sclerosis, Alzheimer's, severe and chronic pain, muscle spasms, HIV, AIDS, Crohn's disease, nausea, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Closing of Financing

The Company is also pleased to announce that AHC has closed a private placement (the "Offering"), consisting of 6,550,000 units ("Units") at a price of $0.10 per Unit to raise aggregate gross proceeds of $655,000. Each Unit consists of one Common Share and one-half of one share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.15 per Common Share for a period of 12 months after the closing date. The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to for expansion of AHC's footprint in other US states and general working capital purposes.

All securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to hold periods in accordance with applicable securities laws. Foundation Markets Inc. acted as the lead finder for the Offering. A cash fee was paid to finders representing 8% of the gross proceeds raised in the Offering. Additionally, finders received that number of compensation options ("Compensation Options") totaling 8% of the number of Units sold pursuant to the Offering. The Compensation Options are exercisable at a price of $0.10 per Unit for a period of 24 months after the closing of the Offering.

The raise brings the total outstanding number of common shares in the capital of AHC to 16,550,000, of which approximately 24% is owned by Nutritional High.
