MJardin Group Announces Definitive Agreement With GrowForce To Create The Preeminent Global Cannabis Management Platform

DENVER & TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–MJardin Group, Inc. (“MJardin” or the “Company”) (CSE:
MJAR), a leader in cannabis management, today announced it has signed a
definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of
GrowForce Holdings Inc. (“GrowForce”), a vertically integrated
international cannabis platform headquartered in Toronto.

The definitive agreement follows the letter of intent that had been
signed on November 15, 2018. Given the recent trading price of the
Company on the CSE, the parties have agreed that each GrowForce
shareholder will be entitled to receive 0.48 MJardin common shares for
each GrowForce common share held (the “Exchange Ratio”), a
difference from the exchange ratio of 0.375 that was contained in the
earlier letter of intent.

As part of the transaction, GrowForce is seeking the approval of the
holders of its $38,234,400 of subscription receipts to amend its
subscription receipt agreement in order for those subscription receipts
to be exchanged into MJardin common shares at the Exchange Ratio. In
order for the amendment to be effective, holders of more than 66 2/3% in
value of those subscription receipts must consent to the amendment. Any
holder of GrowForce subscription receipts who chooses to have its
subscription receipts purchased for cash for cancellation at the
original issue price will be entitled to do so.

Assuming that all of the holders of the GrowForce subscription receipts
choose or are deemed to have chosen to receive shares of MJardin, it is
expected that approximately 30.5 million MJardin common shares will be
issued as part of the transaction.

Upon closing of the merger, MJardin will own or manage 37 facilities
operating or under development across North America, with a cultivation
capacity of approximately 80,000 kg of finished product per annum. This
is comprised of 20 cultivation facilities, two outdoor grows, four
extraction facilities and 11 retail dispensaries across three U.S.
states and three Canadian provinces. GrowForce’s facilities outside of
the U.S. will continue to deploy MJardin’s cannabis management system as
part of the combined company’s service offerings. In addition, MJardin
is in active negotiations with third parties to acquire additional
facilities throughout North America and Europe.

MJardin’s comprehensive cannabis management platform includes
proprietary software and staff training systems designed to optimize and
de-risk commercial cannabis operations for cultivation, processing and
retail facilities. The Company has a proven track record of operational
excellence in 13 U.S. states and more recently in Canada and Australia,
having designed and planned more than 100 legal cannabis facilities
since inception with 30+ licensed facilities currently under management.

The completion of the acquisition is subject to a number of conditions,
including receipt of GrowForce shareholder approval at its shareholder
meeting scheduled to be held on November 27, 2018, signing of lock-up
agreements by certain existing holders of GrowForce common shares in
favour of MJardin, as well as certain other conditions customary in
transactions of this nature. The transaction is scheduled to close prior
to the end of November 2018.
