Liht Cannabis Corp. Announces Corporate Update and an Introduction to ACC Group of Companies

Update on Liht's North Las Vegas Operations

During the month of May, the Company has continued the expansion of its triple-organic certified North Las Vegas cultivation facility, having achieved a Liht management-estimated monthly run rate revenue of approximately US$150,000, at an estimated EBITDA margin of 10%. Company management further projects this monthly run rate revenue figure will rise to an anticipated US$250,000 per month, for an estimated, annualized run rate revenue of US$3.0MM, with an anticipated EBITDA margin of 33%, following the successful build-out and completion of its cutting-edge extraction lab and production kitchen - which the Company anticipates will be completed June 2019.

Rahim Mohamed, CEO of Liht Cannabis Corp. commented, "In conjunction with our expansion into extraction and infusion, we anticipate the growth of Liht's premium branded products will continue to drive future sales and consumer appeal in the State of Nevada. Recent events, highlighted by the proposed transformational partnership with ACC, reflect our core mission - to become the leading producer of premium cannabis products to the North American legal cannabis market." Mr. Mohamed continued, "ACC's infrastructure, combined with Liht's drive toward multi-state operations ("MSO"), provides a clear sign to the market that our transition into a premier North American cannabis company is well underway."

Update on the Proposed Transaction with ACC Group of Companies

As announced in the press release dated May 24, 2019, Liht is pleased to provide further detail on the Proposed Transaction to acquire all or substantially all of the equity interest of ACC, a Nevada-based licensed cannabis cultivator well-known for its award-winning cannabis cultivars. Following the completion of the Proposed Transaction, the Company intends to integrate ACC operationally, while expanding its Nevada cultivation footprint to approximately 569,600 ft², for production of a Liht and ACC-management estimated 45,000 kg of dried, premium cannabis flower, once the proposed construction and build-out of all phases is successfully completed and the integration of Company and ACC is finalized.

Based on information provided by the management of ACC, ACC's Pahrump, Nevada licensed facility is currently undergoing rapid expansion to service the vibrant Nevada medical and recreational cannabis market, which is fueled by over 55 million annual visitors to the Las Vegas area. Completion of the four (4) construction phases is projected to take three (3) years, with ACC management anticipating a total capital expenditure requirement of approximately US$50MM, to reach the project's full capacity. Assuming maximum operational efficiency, ACC management estimates total production of 22,530 kg of dried flower from its projected 279,000 ft² of cultivation space, producing an anticipated US$114MM in annualized run rate revenue with a projected 25% average EBITDA margin across all proposed building phases. Details of current operations and the proposed expansions include:

• building B, which has been operational since May 2017, consists of a 22,000 ft² cultivation space, currently capable of producing up to 1,705 kg of dried cannabis per year;

• the concurrent three (3) month construction on buildings A and C, together totalling 20,600 ft², which is planned to commence immediately after the close of the project's requisite financing, at which point ACC management estimates annual production capacity of 3,150 kg in dried flower;

• building D, proposed to add an additional 11,000 ft² of cultivation space on land currently under LOI, which, once complete, ACC management estimates will add 1,925 kg of annual dried flower capacity - Construction is set to begin immediately following completion of buildings A and C, subject to availability of financing and the necessary development approvals; and

• buildings E, F, and G, which are proposed to be located on land to which ACC currently has a purchase option, and which are to be constructed when Nevada cultivation demand permits - It is estimated by ACC management that these expansions will add an additional 225,000 ft² of cultivation space and 15,750 kg of dried flower capacity annually.

While such estimates and assumptions are considered reasonable by the management of the Company, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive and regulatory uncertainties and risks. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying these statements are reasonable, they may prove to be incorrect. Given these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the reader should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

The Company is not a positive cash flow company and it may not actually achieve its plans, projections, or expectations (the Company and ACC have a history of losses).

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations include, consumer sentiment towards the Company's products and cannabis generally; risks related to the Company and ACC's ability to maintain its licenses issued by governments in good standing; uncertainty with respect to the Company and ACC's ability to grow, store and sell cannabis; risks related to the costs required to meet the obligations related to regulatory compliance; risks related to the extensive control and regulations inherent in the industry in which the Company and ACC operate; risks related to governmental regulations, including those relating to taxes and other levies; risks related an early stage business and a business involving an agricultural product and a regulated consumer product; risks related to building brand awareness in a new industry and market; risks relating to restrictions on sales and marketing activities imposed by governments; risks inherent in the agricultural business; risks relating to energy costs; risks relating to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation; risks relating to recall or return of products; and risks relating to insurance coverage; global economic climate; equipment and building failures; increase in operating costs; decrease in the price of cannabis; security threats; government regulations; loss of key employees and consultants; additional funding requirements; volatility in the securities of the Company; changes in laws; technology failures; failure to obtain permits and licenses; anticipated and unanticipated costs; competition; risks associated with the substantial obligations of being a public company; and failure of counterparties to perform their contractual obligations.

Non-GAAP Discloser:

"Monthly run rate revenue", "annualized run rate revenue", and "EBITDA" (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and, therefore, are considered non-GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The Company believes the non-GAAP measure of "monthly run rate revenue", "annualized run rate revenue", and "EBITDA margin", combined with IFRS measures, such as revenue and net income, are useful measures to its shareholders as management relies on such measures to provide insight into future operations. Readers are cautioned, however, that "monthly run rate revenue", "annualized run rate revenue", and "EBITDA margin" should not be construed as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP or IFRS as an indicator of the Company's financial performance.

This press release is not an offer of the Company's securities for sale in the US. The securities may not be offered or sold in the US absent registration or an available exemption from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "US Securities Act") and applicable US state securities laws. The Company will not make any public offering of its securities in the US. The Company's securities have not been and will not be registered under the US Securities Act.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities, in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

THIS PRESS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF UNITED STATES SECURITIES LAW
