Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - May 24, 2019) - Further to its May 8, 2019, news release, Lifestyle Global Brands Limited (TSXV: GBE) ("Lifestyle Global" or the "Company")  and CannHeath Group Limited ("CannHealth"), are pleased to announce that they have entered into an engagement letter (the "Engagement Letter") with Richardson GMP Limited ("RGMP") and Lifestyle Global Brands Corp. ("LGBC"), in connection with a brokered private placement of subscription receipt of LGBC ("Subscription Receipts") at a price of $1.00 per Subscription Receipt (the "Private Placement"). Pursuant to the Private Placement, LGBC will issue a minimum of 10,000,000 Subscription Receipts and a maximum of 20,000,000 Subscription Receipts, for minimum gross proceeds of $10,000,000 and maximum gross proceeds of $20,000,000, on a commercially reasonable efforts basis.

The Private Placement is being conducted in connection with the share purchase agreement dated April 18, 2019 (the "Share Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which Lifestyle Global will acquire all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of CannHealth (the "Proposed Transaction"). CannHealth is a specialty beverage company and upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, the issuer resulting from the Proposed Transaction (the "Resulting Issuer") will carry on the business previously carried on by CannHealth. It is anticipated that upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, the shares of the Resulting Issuer will be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange and will be listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange. Details of the Proposed Transaction are set forth in the Company's May 8, 2019 news release, a copy of which is available on the Company's profile at www.sedar.com.

General Information about the Private Placement

Each Subscription Receipt will be automatically exchanged, upon satisfaction of certain escrow conditions, into one unit of LGBC (a "Unit"). Each Unit shall consist of one LGBC common share (each an "Underlying Share") and one-half of one LGBC common share purchase warrant (each an "Underlying Warrant"). Each whole Underlying Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one LGBC common share at an exercise price of $1.25 for a period of 24 months from the date the ordinary shares of the Resulting Issuer ("Resulting Issuer Shares") are listed on the Canadian Stock Exchange (the "Listing"). Concurrent with the completion of the Proposed Transaction, each Underlying Share and Underlying Warrant will be exchanged for one Resulting Issuer Share and one Resulting Issuer Share purchase warrant, respectively. If the escrow conditions are not met by the release deadline, all subscription proceeds will be returned to the subscribers without deduction. The Private Placement is expected to close on or about June 30, 2019.

RGMP will receive a corporate finance fee in the amount of $50,000, a cash commission equalling up to 8% of the gross proceeds from the Private Placement and such number of compensation warrants (the "Compensation Warrants") equalling up to 8% of the number of Subscription Receipts issued under the Private Placement. Each Compensation Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Unit at an exercise price of $1.25 for a period of 24 months following the Listing. Concurrent with the completion of the Proposed Transaction, each Compensation Warrant will be exchanged for one Resulting Issuer Share and one-half of one Resulting Issuer Share purchase warrant.

The net proceeds of the Private Placement are intended to be used by the Resulting Issuer for expansion of its operations and general corporate purposes.
