Clever Leaves Holdings Begins Sales of Cannabis Extracts in Germany Through Ethypharm Partnership

Products imported and to be commercially available in German
pharmacies

BOCA RATON, Fla., Feb. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Clever Leaves Holdings Inc.
(NASDAQ: CLVR, CLVRW) (“Clever Leaves Holdings” or the “Company”), a leading
multinational operator and licensed producer of pharmaceutical-grade cannabinoids, today
announced the importation of its first German high-quality standards compliant commercial
