Violations of any Federal Cannabis Laws could result in significant fines, penalties, administrative sanctions, convictions or settlements arising from civil proceedings conducted by either the federal government or private citizens, or criminal charges, including but not limited to disgorgement of profits, cessation of business activities or divestiture. This could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation, including the Corporation’s reputation and ability to conduct business, the Corporation’s holding (directly or indirectly) of State and/or Local Cannabis Licenses, the Corporation’s financial position, operating results, profitability or liquidity or the market price of the Shares. In addition, it is difficult to estimate the time or resources that would be needed for the investigation of any such matters or its final resolution because, in part, the time and resources that may be needed are dependent on the nature and extent of any information requested by the applicable authorities involved, and such time or resources could be substantial.
In addition, since the possession, cultivation, manufacturing, and distribution of cannabis and any related drug paraphernalia is prohibited under Federal Cannabis Laws, the Corporation may be deemed to be aiding-and-abetting criminal activities through the contracts the Corporation has entered into and the products that the Corporation distributes. The Corporation cultivates and manufactures cannabis, and distributes cannabis products through operating dispensaries, and otherwise, leases intellectual property and/or real property in a number of states. As a result, law enforcement authorities, in their attempt to regulate the illicit distribution of cannabis and any related drug paraphernalia, may seek to bring an action or actions against the Corporation, including, but not limited to, aiding and abetting another’s criminal activities. The federal aiding and abetting statute provides that anyone who “commits an offense against the United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is punishable as a principal.” As a result of such an action, the Corporation may be forced to cease certain operations and the Subscriber could lose its entire

investment. Such an action would have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business and operations.
State and/or Local Cannabis Regulations are relatively new and constantly evolving, so there are uncertainties as to how the state authorities will interpret and administer applicable regulatory requirements. Any determination that the Corporation fails to comply with State and/or Local Cannabis Regulations would require the Corporation either to significantly change or terminate lines of business, or the business as a whole, which would have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business.
No assurance can be given that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could limit or curtail the Corporation’s ability to cultivate, manufacture, or distribute cannabis. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing the cultivation, manufacturing, or distribution of cannabis, or more stringent implementation thereof could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation.

On January 4, 2018, then U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a memorandum to U.S. Attorneys which rescinded the Memorandum. With the Memorandum rescinded, U.S. federal prosecutors can exercise their discretion, without regard to the priorities enumerated in the Memorandum, in determining whether to prosecute cannabis-related operations that are compliant with State and/or Local Cannabis Regulations but that violate Federal Cannabis Laws.
On March 11, 2021, Merrick Garland was appointed as U.S. Attorney General. At his confirmation hearing, he said, “It does not seem to me a useful use of limited resources that we have, to be pursuing prosecutions in states that have legalized and that are regulating the use of marijuana, either medically or otherwise”. He has not yet reissued the Memorandum, however, or issued substitute guidance. In the fiscal 2022 omnibus spending bill, Congress included the Rohrabacher-Farr amendment which prohibits the Department of Justice from spending funds to interfere with the implementation of state medical cannabis laws until September 30, 2022.
Multiple legislative reforms related to cannabis and cannabis-related banking are currently being considered by the federal government in the United States. Examples include the States Reform Act; the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act; the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment and Expungement Act; the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act; and the Capital Lending and Investment for Marijuana Businesses (CLIMB) Act. There can be no assurance that any of these pieces of legislation will become law in the United States.

The Corporation is complying with state-regulated cannabis programs, regardless of its legal status under U.S. federal law, and your investment has been designed to be compliant with all applicable state laws and regulations to which the Corporation are subject; however, under U.S. federal law, such investments may be considered illegal under the CSA (particularly 21 U.S.C. § 854) or other indirect criminal liability theories such as aiding and abetting or conspiracy. Additionally, financial transactions involving proceeds generated by cannabis-related conduct can form the basis for prosecution under the federal money laundering statutes (18 U.S.C. § 1956), the unlicensed money transmitter statute and the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act. If the federal government were to reverse its long-standing hands-off approach to the state legal cannabis markets and start more broadly enforcing federal laws regarding cannabis, investors or the Corporation itself could also face criminal liability; in the event that investors or the Corporation faces enforcement it would likely be unable to execute its business plan, and its business and financial results would be adversely affected.
