VANCOUVER and DENVER, May 26, 2019 /CNW/ - Cannabis One Holdings Inc.

- On March 6, 2019, the Company signed a three-year, multi-state territorial licensing and royalty agreement for the exclusive rights to produce, market, and distribute a variety of specific cannabis products under the Cheech's Private Stash ("CPS") brand.

- On March 13, 2019, the Company announced its intention to enter the California cannabis market pursuant to the execution of a letter of intent to acquire majority ownership in a California license holder, "420 Express Delivery Inc.", which operates, "Green Leaf Wellness", a dispensary located in the Coachella Valley of California, from Liht Cannabis Corp.
- On April 16, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets of Colorado-based JBC Enterprises LLC, which operates the premium, branded cannabis cultivation facility "Fat Face Farms", located in Denver, Colorado, that is a perennial favourite amongst consumers and was the only entrant in the 2018 Colorado Grow Off, out of fifty competitors, to place among the Top 10 in each ranked category: terpene profile, potency, and yield.

- On April 25, 2019, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Colorado-based cannabis industry consulting firm Itachi Advisory Group LLC ("Itachi"), to pursue acquisitions related to a suite of portfolio assets related to cannabis retail, cultivation, and manufacturing operations from certain entities advised by Itachi which the Company believes will provide a substantial growth catalyst for the expansion of Cannabis One's consumer-centric retail concept brand, The JointTM, which the Company projects will include up to twenty five (25) retail locations across five (5) states: Colorado, Washington, California, Nevada, and Oregon, through fiscal 2019.
- On May 6, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets of Washington-based Honu Enterprises, Inc., an award-winning, cannabis-infused products brand that includes industry-leading concentrates, a range of popular edible products, and traditional cannabis dried flower, along with the Honu Naturals line of cannabis-infused topicals, which boast a variety of infused creams, lotions, massage oils, bath products, and lip balms.
- On May 14, 2019, the Company announced that it is expanding its multi-state footprint for both CBD and THC infused products with the leasing of two manufacturing and processing facilities, totaling over 21,000 ft2, located near Portland, Oregon.

Cannabis is legal in certain States in the United States ("U.S."), however cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal laws. Cannabis One intends to conduct its U.S. cannabis operations in a manner consistent with the applicable State laws and in compliance with regulatory and licensing requirements applicable in the applicable State. However, the readers should be aware that any change in federal guidance on enforcement actions could adversely affect Cannabis One's ability to access private and public capital required in order to support continuing operations and its ability to operate in the U.S.
Unlike in Canada which has Federal legislation uniformly governing the cultivation, distribution, sale and possession of cannabis under the Cannabis Act (Federal), readers are cautioned that in the U.S., cannabis is largely regulated at the State level. To the knowledge of Cannabis One, there are to date a total of 33 states, plus the District of Columbia, that have legalized cannabis in some form. Notwithstanding the permissive regulatory environment of medical cannabis at the State level, cannabis continues to be categorized as a controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act in the U.S. and as such, cannabis-related practices or activities, including without limitation, the manufacture, importation, possession, use or distribution of cannabis are illegal under U.S. Federal law. Strict compliance with State laws with respect to cannabis will neither absolve Cannabis One of liability under the U.S. Federal law, nor will it provide a defense to any Federal proceeding, which may be brought against Cannabis One. Any such proceedings brought against Cannabis One may materially adversely affect its operations and financial performance in the U.S. market.
