/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES  OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

Amending Agreements to Restructure Certain Debt Obligations Now Effective

MONTRÉAL, Aug. 30, 2022 /CNW/ - Canada House Cannabis Group (CSE: CHV) ("Canada House" or the "Company"), a fully integrated medical cannabis company, and Montréal Cannabis Médical Inc. ("MTL Cannabis"), a Montreal based "flower-first" Licensed Producer, today announced the closing of the first tranche of Canada House's previously announced acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of MTL Cannabis (the "Transaction") (see the press releases of the Company dated August 9, 2021 and July 26, 2022).  

With the closing of the first tranche of the Transaction (the "Initial Closing") the Company acquired approximately 24.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of MTL Cannabis in exchange for 49.99% of the issued and outstanding common shares ("Common Shares") of the Company. Following the completion of the Company's share consolidation announced on August 25, 2022, the shareholders of MTL Cannabis were issued 22,779,340 Common Shares on the Initial Closing. There are now 45,567,767 Common Shares issued and outstanding.

Now that the Initial Closing has been completed, the parties will proceed to satisfying the closing conditions to the second tranche of the Transaction, namely the preparation of the required audited annual and unaudited interim financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis of MTL Cannabis in order for the Company to proceed to a shareholder meeting to approve the Transaction, as required by the rules and policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE"). The definitive transaction agreement between the parties provides for the Company to acquire the remaining 75.01% of the issued and outstanding shares of MTL Cannabis on the second tranche of the Transaction (the "Subsequent Closing") in exchange for such number of Common Shares that when added to the Common Shares issued on the Initial Closing, is equal to 80.0% of the issued and outstanding common shares ("Common Shares") of the Company.

The percentages of Common Shares noted above will be subject to anti-dilution adjustments in favour of the vendors of the MTL Cannabis shares wherein additional Common Shares will be issued up to 49.99% of the Common Shares prior to the Subsequent Closing and up to 80.0% following the Subsequent Closing in the event of the issuance of Common Shares upon the conversion of the principal and accrued interest of the Company's $6.5 million convertible debenture issued to Archerwill Investments Inc. on August 5, 2020.

The Transaction constitutes a "reverse takeover" of the Company and it is anticipated that following the Subsequent Closing, the Company will operate under the MTL Cannabis corporate name with shares trading on the CSE under a related ticker symbol. Trading in the common shares of the Company has been halted since the Transaction was initially announced on August 9, 2021 and is expected to remain halted until the Subsequent Closing.

The Subsequent Closing is subject to a number of conditions customary for a transaction of this nature, including but not limited to (i) approval by the shareholders of Canada House of the acquisition at a special meeting to be called for these purposes (in the case of the Subsequent Closing), (ii) the completion of the Share Consolidation, (iii) there being no material adverse change in the business of Canada House or MTL Cannabis (as applicable) prior to the Subsequent Closing, and (iv) receipt of applicable third party and regulatory approvals including the approval of the CSE. The Subsequent Closing will occur as soon as possible following the satisfaction of all such closing conditions. A press release will be issued in due course to announce the expected timing of the Subsequent Closing once the parties have progressed the financial statements of MTL Cannabis.

With the Initial Closing having been concluded, the amendments to restructure certain debt obligations of the Company as described in the Company's July 26, 2022 press release are now effective.

A copy of the Restated SEA has been filed on SEDAR and is available under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com. For further information on the transaction see the press releases of the Company dated August 9, 2021, November 26, 2021, March 22, 2022 and July 26, 2022.
