Vancouver, British Columbia — February 19, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Nextleaf Solutions Ltd. (CSE: OILS) (OTCQB: OILFF) (FSE: L0MA) has announced strategic enhancements to its commercial infrastructure, including the appointment of Kindred Canada as its national sales agency partner and the addition of enhanced distribution partners serving Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The company says these initiatives are designed to support scalable, margin-focused growth in its Canadian consumer-packaged goods (CPG) business.
The life science company and Canadian cannabis processor recently appointed Kindred Canada as its national sales agency partner. The transition to a national sales representation model was implemented between November 2025 and January 2026, marking a shift from a previously regionalized approach.
According to CEO Emma Andrews, centralizing the national sales platform with Kindred Canada accelerates the company’s ability to convert operational discipline into sustainable top-line growth through stronger retail partnerships, expanded listings, and consistent execution across provinces.
Kindred Canada will support national sales execution across Nextleaf’s brand portfolio, including reinforcing Glacial Gold’s position as a category leader in cannabis wellness, advancing key account penetration, and supporting the national launch of Yard Cannabis. Curtis Mackenzie, EVP and General Manager at Kindred Canada, expects the partnership to improve distribution, increase velocity, deepen key account engagement, and enhance execution at the store level, especially in previously underserved markets.
Nextleaf has also announced expanded provincial distribution relationships in Manitoba and Saskatchewan to enhance its brand strategy and accelerate growth in underserved markets.
In Saskatchewan, Open Fields Distribution (OFD) is now a distribution partner for all branded products from the company, including Glacial Gold, Yard, and High Plains cannabis. OFD provides access to a collective network of stores, offering enhanced retail penetration and brand visibility within its network.
In Manitoba, Nextleaf recently expanded its 3PL infrastructure to include Open Fields Manitoba, who will provide last-mile delivery for all products under the company’s latest brand, Yard cannabis, to provincially licensed retailers starting in March. This is in addition to all Glacial Gold and High Plains cannabis products currently available province-wide through existing partners, Lynx distribution.
Provincial sales representation will be integrated through Kindred Canada. All regional initiatives are intended to improve listing velocity, strengthen in-market execution, and ensure greater consistency in how the company’s portfolio is represented and supported at retail across Canada.
Nextleaf will issue 955,556 common shares at a price per share $0.05 for aggregate proceeds of $47,778 as part of the company’s compensation and retention strategy.
