HERITAGE CANNABIS EXECUTES TERM SHEET WITH MERIDA CAPITAL HOLDINGS TO SUPPORT ENTRY INTO THE MISSOURI MARKET IN RELATIONSHIP WITH 3FIFTEEN PRIMO CANNABIS

• The financing accelerates Heritage’s expansion into Missouri and the launch of Heritage branded products in the state by the end of 2021

Heritage Cannabis Holdings Corp. (CSE: CANN) (OTCQX: HERTF) (“Heritage” or the “Company”), has executed a term sheet with Merida Capital Partners IV LP and its affiliates (“Merida”) to fund the Company’s entry into the state of Missouri. Missouri’s first legal medical sale took place in October 2020, and, per the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, there are already 140 approved dispensaries responsible for over USD$65 million of retail sales in the first half of 2021, and USD$21 million of sales in the month of July. Total retail sales in Missouri are expected to grow to USD$650 million by 2025 per New Frontier Data. The state of Missouri surpassed 100,000 patients in May 2021 (seven months after the first sale) and robust patient adoption trends have continued since.

Previously, Heritage announced a five-year relationship with Como Health LLC, doing business as 3Fifteen Primo Cannabis (“3Fifteen”), to enter the U.S. market in Missouri. 3Fifteen has five dispensary licenses of which three are operational and two are in construction phase. 3Fifteen holds one manufacturing license, allowing Heritage branded products to be produced and offered to medical cannabis patients in Missouri.

The relationship will grant shelf minimums for Heritage’s branded products in 3Fifteen’s Missouri dispensaries.

“We are focused on building out our brand offerings in new high-growth markets, and with strong market growth projected in Missouri and the support of Merida, we are confident that we can leverage 3Fifteen’s market position to do so,” stated David Schwede, CEO of Heritage. “We are seeing strong demand for our brands in Canada and with our extraction expertise and inspired branding capabilities, we expect to see a similar response in Missouri and additional states as we continue our U.S. expansion.”

“Merida is happy to support Heritage’s U.S. expansion and continues to believe that Missouri represents an attractive medical market with further regulatory upside in the coming years,” stated Max Gerard, Partner at Merida Capital Holdings. “Merida believes that concentrates and other derivative products will perform well in the regional markets where 3Fifteen operates – St. Louis, Columbia, and Branson West. In addition, we continue to value the extraction expertise that Heritage brings to the rest of our portfolio of over 60 companies.”
