Kelowna, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 24, 2020) - Citation Growth Corp. (CSE: CGRO) (OTCQX: CGOTF) ("Citation" or "Company"), a licensed U.S. multi-state cannabis cultivator, producer and retailer, announces that it has completed the second and third (final) tranche of a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") consisting of 3,930,721 unites at $0.15 per unit for gross proceeds of $589,608. Together with the first tranche, closed on March 30, 2020, the Company raised a total of $1,007,177. No Finders' fees were payable on the private placement.

Each unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant. Each warrant is exercisable into one common share at an exercise price of $0.22 per share for a period of eighteen months expiring October 24, 2021. The warrants are subject to an accelerated expiry date if the trading price of the Company's common shares closes at or above $0.50 per share for a period of ten consecutive trading days.

The proceeds from the Private Placement will be used for general working capital purposes. All securities issued under the Private Placement are subject to a four month hold period expiring October 25, 2020.

In connection with the Private Placement, certain directors or officers of the Company ("insiders") have acquired 1,116,667 units. Participation of insiders of the Company in the Private Placement constitutes a related party transaction as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions). Since the Company's shares trade only on the CSE, the issuance of securities is exempt from the formal valuation requirements of Section 5.4 of MI 61-101 pursuant to Subsection 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 and exempt from the minority approval requirements of Section 5.6 of MI 61-101.

The Company also confirms that a short-term loan of $100,000 was provided by certain members of management and the Board in conjunction with the Private Placement. The term of the loan is 1 year with a fixed payback of 20% on or before the maturity date. Use of funds will be for general working capital purposes as the Company continues to deliver on its strategic plan as communicated to shareholders at the recent AGM in April.
