CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION:

This news release includes certain “forward-looking information” as defined under applicable Canadian securities legislation, including statements regarding the plans, intentions, beliefs, and current expectations of the Company with respect to future business activities and operating performance. Forward-looking information is often identified by the words “may”, “would”, “could”, “should”, “will”, “intend”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect” or similar expressions and includes information regarding: the implementation of the Company’s House of Brands’ cannabis consumer packaged goods strategy; management’s expectations regarding creating sustainable long-term growth and shareholder value; the launch of Old Pal-branded cannabis products at licensed retailers across Arizonaand expectations for other economic, business, and/or competitive factors. Forward-looking information is necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results and future events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information.

Investors are cautioned that forward-looking information is not based on historical fact but instead reflects management’s expectations, estimates or projections concerning future results or events based on the opinions, assumptions and estimates of management considered reasonable at the date the statements are made. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking information are reasonable, such information involves risks and uncertainties, and undue reliance should not be placed on such information, as unknown or unpredictable factors could have material adverse effects on future results, performance, or achievements of the Company. Among the key factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking information are the following: regulatory and licensing risks; changes in consumer demand and preferences; changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; the global regulatory landscape and enforcement related to cannabis, including political risks and risks relating to regulatory change; compliance with extensive government regulation; public opinion and perception of the cannabis industry; the impact of COVID-19; and the risk factors set out in the Company’s annual information form dated August 28, 2020, filed with Canadian securities regulators and available on the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

The Company, through several of its subsidiaries, is indirectly involved in the manufacture, possession, use, sale, and distribution of cannabis in the recreational and medicinal cannabis marketplace in the United States. Local state laws where the Company operates permit such activities however, investors should note that there are significant legal restrictions and regulations that govern the cannabis industry in the United States. Cannabis remains a Schedule I drug under the US Controlled Substances Act, making it illegal under federal law in the United States to, among other things, cultivate, distribute or possess cannabis in the United States. Financial transactions involving proceeds generated by, or intended to promote, cannabis-related business activities in the United States may form the basis for prosecution under applicable United States federal money laundering legislation.

While the approach to enforcement of such laws by the federal government in the United States has trended toward nonenforcement against individuals and businesses that comply with recreational and medicinal cannabis programs in states where such programs are legal, strict compliance with state laws with respect to cannabis will neither absolve the Company of liability under United States federal law, nor will it provide a defense to any federal proceeding which may be brought against the Company. The enforcement of federal laws in the United States is a significant risk to the business of the Company and any proceedings brought against the Company thereunder may adversely affect the Company’s operations and financial performance.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking information prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as intended, planned, anticipated, believed, estimated, or expected. Although the Company has attempted to identify important risks, uncertainties and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be others that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information, which speak only as of the date of this news release. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Papa’s Herb® Enters the Oregon Market Through Halo Collective https://mjshareholders.com/papas-herb-enters-the-oregon-market-through-halo-collective/ Mon, 19 Jul 2021 16:22:55 +0000 https://www.cannabisfn.com/?p=2926663

Under the Licensing Agreement, Papa’s Herb gives Halo permission to produce and market products under its registered trademarks in the Oregon Market. In addition, the Licensing Agreement allows Halo to exclusively license Papa’s Herb trademark images and wordmarks, “PAPA’S HERB” and “COME TO PAPA,” and product portfolio to include their signature Papa’s THC Distillate Vape Pens, Live Resin Concentrates, and Papa’s Infused Pre-Rolls.

Papa’s Herb has been licensed successfully and has shown significant growth in multiple mature markets since the brand’s inception in 2019. Papa’s Herb intends to become a leading Miami cannabis brand and to bring its high-quality Papa’s Products to cannabis markets worldwide.

In 2021 Papa’s Herb also expanded to the Canadian market through a license agreement with Tilray (TSE: TLRY) (NASDAQ:TLRY), one of the largest licensed cannabis producers in Canada. Papa’s Herb has penetrated over 60% of the total Ontario market in the first six months of 2021 with only two product segments1.

Papa’s Herb products have garnered a strong foothold in the California cannabis market. In 2021, Papa’s Herb posted over 113% year-over-year (“YOY”) growth in the vape category while other competitors have lost market share1. Indeed Papa’s Herb is one of only four brands to show growth in the vape category in 20212.

“We are extremely excited to enter the Oregon market with a like-minded group such as Halo. Oregon represents the 3rd state and 2nd country where Papa’s Herb has expanded to over the last 24 months. Halo is the ideal partner for Oregon; with their proven track record and robust infrastructure, Halo will provide Papa’s Herb with the ideal platform necessary to deploy our successful licensing model,” said Max Benitah, Chief Operating Officer. We look forward to launching our high quality Papa’s products in the Oregon market and working hard to earn the trust of the customers through the 650+ dispensaries in the market.

“Halo is very excited to work with Papa’s Herb. This mutually beneficial partnership will provide Papa’s Herb’s high-quality cannabis products to customers in Oregon and help strengthen Halo’s reach across the region as well as additional revenue to both companies,” said Kiran Sidhu, Halo CEO and Co-founder. “We look forward to leveraging the Papa’s Herb brand and Halo’s manufacturing and distribution prowess in Oregon.”

The Company is currently operating in the United States in California and Oregon, in Southern Africa in the Kingdom of Lesotho, and in the United Kingdom. The Company sells cannabis products principally to dispensaries in the U.S. under its brands, Hush, Mojave, and Exhale, and under partnership or license with DNA Genetics, Terphogz and FlowerShop, a cannabis lifestyle and conceptual wellness brand in which G-Eazy is a partner and key member of FlowerShop. The Company has also acquired three KushBar retail cannabis stores location in the Canadian province of Alberta, as a first in its planned entry into the Canadian market leveraging its Oregon and California brands.

As part of continued expansion and vertical integration in the U.S., Halo boasts several grow operations throughout Oregon and two planned in California. In Oregon, the Company has a combined 9 acres of outdoor cultivation, including East Evans Creek, a six-acre grow site in Jackson County, Blue Sky Farms, a two-acre grow site located in Jackson County and Winberry Farms, a one-acre grow site located 30 miles outside Eugene in Lane County. In California, the Company is building out Ukiah Ventures, a planned 30,000-square-foot indoor grow and cannabis processing facility including up to an additional five acres of industrial land to expand this indoor grow site. Recently, Halo partnered with Green Matter Holding to purchase Bar X Farm in Lake County, developing up to 80 acres of cultivation which would comprise the largest single licensed grow in California.

Halo also has acquired a range of software development assets, including technology platforms CannPOS, Cannalift, and, more recently, CannaFeels. Halo also owns the discrete sublingual dosing technology, Accudab. The Company intends to spin-off these assets along with its intellectual property and patent applications into its subsidiary Halo Tek Inc. and complete a distribution to shareholders on a record date to be determined by Halo.

Halo has recently announced its intention to reorganize its non-U.S. operations into a newly formed corporation called Akanda Corp. (“Akanda”) whose mission will be to provide high quality and ethically sourced medical cannabis products for patients worldwide. Akanda will seek to deliver on this promise while driving positive change in wellness, empowering individuals in Lesotho, and by uplifting the quality of the lives of employees and the local communities where it operates – and while limiting its carbon footprint. Akanda will combine the scaled production capabilities of Bophelo Bioscience & Wellness Pty. Ltd. (“Bophelo”), Halo’s Lesotho-based cultivation and processing campus, located in the world’s first Special Economic Zone (SEZ) containing a cannabis growth operation, with distribution and route-to-market through Canmart Ltd. (“Canmart”), Halo’s UK-based fully approved pharmaceutical importer and distributor which supplies pharmacies and clinics within the U.K. With a potential maximum licensed canopy area of 200 hectares (495 acres), Bophelo has scalability that is arguably unmatched in the world today.
