The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TGOD.TO) (TGODF) Letter to Shareholders

The transition from Mr. Robert Anderson to myself although abrupt and untimely, was one that was a planned evolution before the end of the year. As TGOD moves into full production Rob was to move into the executive Chair position providing vision and supporting financing activities. My experience of more than 26 years at senior levels of companies such as Proctor and Gamble running multiple international consumer packed goods operations was his choice for succession to take TGOD to the worldwide markets as the leading organic brand.

Rob had a vision, a vision of doing things the right way, a vision that retail investors have the ability to be so much more than just shareholders. They can become patients of the medical market, customers of the recreational market and brand ambassadors. These are cannabis enthusiasts, advocates, consumers, and from day one TGOD has aimed to empower those passionate about cannabis to invest alongside the management team and create the largest organic cannabis brand in the world. A large portion of what has made TGOD so special today is that vision, and it’s that same vision, that same philosophy, that I want to continue delivering for TGOD and TGOD’s shareholders. That was Rob’s vision, and that is my vision.

Everyone at TGOD would like to sincerely wish Rob a full and swift recovery. He has done so much for our Company, driven us forward at a rapid pace and established an incredible management team to succeed. I am grateful Rob will remain available to advise us as needed.  With the condition he is cleared medically, it is anticipated he would come back to join the TGOD family in a senior position.  Our plan is in place, the path is paved, and we will not deviate.

TGOD possesses one of the most well-rounded, driven and experienced management teams in the industry. Our board of directors has significant corporate experience specific to consumer-packaged goods, consumer products, and finance including experience in multiple successful acquisitions. Our leadership team has skillsets in all aspects of business including financial management, international markets, mergers & acquisitions, operations, project management, marketing, branding, and sales for some of the largest companies on the planet including Proctor & Gamble, Cott and Weightwatchers. We are focused on becoming the Wholefoods of the cannabis industry and recognized as pioneers in THC/CBD infused beverage industry.

As I transition into the CEO role, it comes down to operations and building a brand. A few recent highlights include:

• Strong cash position: $300 million
