Ottawa, ON — September 10, 2018 — /D.M.O. Newswire/ — National Access Cannabis Corp. (“NAC” or the “Company”) (TSXV:META), Canada’s best practices leader in delivering secure, safe, and responsible access to legal cannabis today announced it exercised an option to acquire all of the shares of The Green Company Ltd. (“NewLeaf”) not already owned by NAC for $23,582,000 shares in escrow and $5,895,500 cash (the “Acquisition”) pursuant to the terms of an option agreement between the Company, NewLeaf and all of the shareholders of NewLeaf (the “Option”). To facilitate a timely closing, the parties to the Option also entered into an addendum and amending agreement dated September 10, 2018. The Acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close prior to the end of the business day on September 10th, 2018. The proceeds of the Acquisition will be placed in escrow and will be paid to the former NewLeaf shareholders as cannabis retail licences are granted to NewLeaf, or, returned to NAC.

NewLeaf has submitted 25 cannabis retail license applications for locations in Alberta, with 20 development permits granted and with five more development permits expected. Currently, 17 NewLeaf retail cannabis locations are under construction in Alberta with a target opening date of October 17, 2018, subject to regulatory approvals. NAC will continue to operate these locations under the NewLeaf brand, keeping regional management teams intact. The Acquisition allows NAC to increase its retail presence and offer a second brand choice for cannabis customers, above and beyond the Meta Cannabis Supply Co. brand and retail footprint planned for Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario (pending license approvals).

“This is a transformational transaction for NAC,” said Mark Goliger, CEO of NAC. “NewLeaf has proactively secured high quality store locations and first mover advantage, with 17 stores expected to be ready for October 17th, while simultaneously developing a well-known brand name in the region. The core values of our companies are strongly aligned in educating interested Canadians about legal cannabis products while delivering secure, safe, and responsible access. This acquisition helps to maximize NAC’s retail footprint opportunity across Alberta, helping NAC reach the maximum permitted number of Alberta store fronts under Provincial regulations.”

Mr. Goliger added: “In addition to this transaction, NAC continues to evaluate locations with our strategic partnership with The Second Cup Ltd. and apply for retail cannabis licenses across Western Canada to operate retail cannabis stores under the Meta Cannabis Supply Co. brand.”

Board of Director Changes

The Company also announced today that the Board of Directors has appointed Marc Lustig as Chairman, effective immediately. Chuck Rifici has resigned as Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors.

The advice and counsel that Mr. Lustig has provided to NAC management on key strategic initiatives during his tenure has contributed to the Company’s continued success and growth. He has been a successful cannabis entrepreneur as the Founder of CannaRoyalty Corp, which followed an extensive 15-year career in capital markets.

Mark Goliger, the CEO of National Access Cannabis, also joins the Board of Directors.

“NAC continues to take steps to maximize its allowable cannabis retail footprint with the META stores and now its acquisition of NewLeaf,” said Chuck Rifici. “This creates a potential conflict of interest for me with other business ventures, so I have decided to step down as Chairman of NAC at this time. I remain the largest shareholder of NAC and I believe the company is well positioned to become Canada’s largest cannabis retailer. I would also like to congratulate Marc in his new role as Chairman and look forward to NAC’s continued success.”
