Carie Health Acquisition Comes on the Heels of Emerald Organic Product's Recent Acquisition of Digital Nationwide Pharmacy Bonsa Health

Holbrook, New York, March 31, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Emerald Organic Products Inc. (OTC: EMOR) ("Emerald" or the "Company") a high growth diversified health science and technology company, today has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Carie Health Inc. (“Carie”), a leading telehealth and virtual care technology and service solutions company. 

“Founded in 2016, Carie has quickly matured into a fully-proprietary end-to-end telehealth solution capable of scaling up to lead America’s transition to a more consumer friendly, virtual healthcare model,” said Matt Wanderer, Founder and CEO of Carie Health. 

Alongside Emerald’s recent acquisition of Bonsa Health, a leading digital pharmacy with same day delivery of Rx medications anywhere in the US, the acquisition of Carie Health creates an integrated healthcare technology company. This unique service combination will meet the growing demand to deliver high-quality healthcare in a virtual setting. 

Emerald’s CEO, Ian Parker, notes “Bringing these companies together will make Carie a meaningful part of the solution as America transitions to a digital-first healthcare delivery model, particularly at a time when healthcare providers are increasingly asked to go into work without the proper personal protective equipment (“PPE”)." Parker continued, "While Emerald considered a number of telehealth acquisitions, Carie’s unique physician centric localized provider model positions it as a definitive industry leader.”

“Today’s transaction marks an important milestone in the growth and evolution of Carie. I am proud to support the combined vision of the companies and to align our shareholders' interests under the executive leadership of Mr. Parker. His organization brings the additional financial and operational resources needed to keep pace with an explosive demand for our product” said Matt Wanderer, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Carie Health.
