Citation Growth Corp. Provides Update on Celista Assets Sale

Kelowna, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 1, 2020) - Citation Growth Corp. (CSE: CGRO) (OTCQX: CGOTF) ("Citation" or "Company"), a licensed U.S. multi-state cannabis cultivator, producer and retailer, announces today that, further to the news release dated August 4, 2020, the company has extended the Definitive Agreement with Indigenomix International ("Indigenomix") for the sale of the Celista, BC assets. The company remains confident that the transaction will close and has had positive indications and further cash deposits from the Indigenomix group; however, with the continuing challenges stemming from the global pandemic, the ability to close the transaction on the latest timelines has proven challenging.

Erik Anderson, President and CEO of Citation Growth, stated: "We are working together to close the sale of our Celista assets to the Indigenomix group and are confident we can do so in a reasonable timeframe. Unfortunately, we have not been able to meet our most recent deadline due to COVID-19 restrictions, but we have been given further confidence through additional non-refundable deposits. We look forward to releasing information regarding a successful transaction shortly."
