(CSE: HERB) (“Herbal Dispatch” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that, subject to regulatory approval, the Company intends to complete a non-brokered private placement ("Private Placement") of approximately 100,000,000 units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of $0.01 per Unit for gross proceeds of $1,000,000.

The Company also now has over 1,500 active customers on its medical sales platforms.
The Company expects that strong repeat orders and new customer growth will continue to drive strong month-over-month sales growth throughout the remainder of the year.
