After years of hard work, most people look forward to a comfortable retire- ment, at the very least aim- ing to retain their same standards of living prior to retirement. It is an accept- ed fact that a person will require at least two thirds of pre-retirement income in order to maintain the same level of lifestyle upon retirement. Not everyone will be eligible to receive two thirds of their current income, mainly for the fact that the state pension is capped. is seminar aims to pro- vide information on retire- ment and tax incentives on corporate and person- al pensions. David Spiteri Gingell, Management Con- sultant, will be discussing voluntary occupational retirement schemes and financial education for em- ployees. Mario Farrugia from Bank of Valletta will speak about tax incentives on the setting up of Corporate and Per- sonal Pensions. e Minister of Gozo, Justyne Caruana and Jo- seph Borg, President of the Gozo Business Chamber will also be addressing the participants. is seminar is free of charge and participation is available on a first-come basis.

Gozo seminar on tax incentives on corporate and personal pensions MERA Cannabis Corp. has entered into a binding and non-exclusive sup- ply agreement with HM HerbaMedica GMBH, situated in Berlin, Germany, under which HerbaMedica has agreed to purchase up to 600kg of dried canna- bis per year from Mera for a term of two years, subject to certain increase rights. As part of Mera's international devel- opment strategy, its flagship facility in St. omas, Ontario has been designed to adhere to EU-GMP standards. As a result, Mera expects the majority of its outputs from its domestic facilities to be sold to growing international med- ical markets. With a population of over 83 million and wide-spread statutory health insur- ance, Germany is poised to be a Euro- pean powerhouse for medical cannabis. Mera CEO Zubin Jasavala said that with partners like HerbaMedica, Mera has the opportunity to capitalise on its experience and insights acquired through domestic operations and utilise that knowledge in the EU. David Höhne, Chief Executive Officer of HerbaMedica, said they were excited to be one of the few businesses working with Canadian producers to bring Ca- nadian medical cannabis products into Germany. "Mera not only provides access to high quality product, but a long-term strate- gy for growth in the medical market in Germany and across Europe," he said. About Mera Cannabis Corp. Mera is focused on producing consum- er-driven, high-value cannabis products at its EU-GMP built cultivation and pro- cessing facility in St omas, Ontario.
