Jeffrey Mason, Chair of the Board for Wildpack commented "We are excited to increase our accessibility to investors in the U.S. and globally with our shares being listed on the OTCQB. As a 6-location business that operates across the U.S., this is a natural step in aligning our operations with our capital structure and our ever-growing investor base."

In connection with the listing, we have commenced a comprehensive digital media marketing campaign led by Stanford & Turner Marketing Group ("Stanford") which principally operates out of Los Angeles, California. Under the terms of the campaign, Stanford will provide a combination of content development, web development, media buying and distribution, and reporting and optimization to Wildpack at a total cost of US$45,000, with cash on hand, over a three-month period and US$15,000 per month on a month-to-month basis, thereafter, commencing February 23, 2022. Wildpack and Stanford act at arm's length, and Stanford has no present interest, directly or indirectly, in the securities of Wildpack. The appointment of Stanford is subject to normal course approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.
