OSL Holdings Announces Joint Venture with Cheryl Shuman

YARDLEY, Pa., May 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- OSL Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: OSLH) ("OSL" or "the Company"), a socially conscious business model dedicated to consumer advocacy, social activism and the advancement of civil liberties through the power of commerce, announces its first joint venture agreement with cannabis impresaria Cheryl Shuman.   In their initial venture, OSL and Shuman will team up to launch a luxury cannabis conference series focusing on the affluent marijuana market and high-dollar investment vehicles for the rapidly growing space.    

Shuman, best known for founding the Beverly Hills Cannabis Club, is perhaps the most widely publicized businessperson in the marijuana space.  

"Cheryl Shuman has an unparalleled ability to attract mainstream media attention to the business potential of the marijuana market.   Our venture will work not only to monetize that earned media, but to drive further investment into the space as a whole," said OSL's CEO Bob Rothenberg.   

Today's joint venture agreement opens the door to future deals between the two parties.

"As one of the most widely-known personalities in the cannabis sector and in the luxury market in particular, Cheryl is uniquely suited to bring broad interest to an event like this.   We anticipate this being a perfect venue for businesses to bring mainstream attention to their products and services," said Steve Gormley, Chief Corporate Development Officer, OSL.  

"This first joint venture with OSL is incredibly exciting!   As the founder of the Beverly Hills Cannabis Club, we were the first in the industry to produce luxurious celebrity events and mixers for the affluent.   Now, together with the dream team at OSL, we can begin to corner the luxury market by becoming the "connector" of influencers in cannabis and culture, both here in the U.S. and abroad. I'm thrilled to be on this journey with OSL," said Cheryl Shuman.   

The first of its kind event is being developed to take place in the Caribbean in early 2016.

Cheryl Shuman is the Founder of the Beverly Hills Cannabis Club (BHCClub.com), CEO of Cheryl Shuman Inc. (CherylShuman.com/). Shuman was recently featured on the cover of Adweek as Pot's First Marketer (http://www.adweek.com/news/advertising-branding/who-will-become-starbucks-pot-159145), in Elle Magazine as The Most Powerful Women in the Pot Industry (http://www.elle.com/culture/career-politics/a12993/rise-of-the-pot-power-women/) and named The Cannabis Queen of Beverly Hills by The New York Times Sunday Magazine (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/11/magazine/the-cannabis-queen-of-beverly-hills.html).
