Red White & Bloom Brands Inc. (CSE: RWB and OTC: TDRYD) (“RWB” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Definitive Agreement (as herein defined) to acquire the licensing rights for the branding of High Times® dispensaries and High Times cannabis-based CBD and THC products in the States of Michigan, Illinois and Florida and branding of High Times hemp derived CBD products nationally in the United States carrying the Culture® brand.

Under the terms of the Definitive Agreement, RWB will acquire the rights to exclusively brand both medical and recreational dispensaries and cannabis products within the States of Michigan, Illinois and Florida. RWB plans to sub-license to its investee in Michigan for its 18 planned and operational dispensaries, to be rebranded as High Times stores and allow the investee to create and sell cannabis derived products both within their own locations as well as to third parties in Michigan.

Brad Rogers, Chairman and CEO stated, “Throughout my career in the highly competitive media space, prior to cannabis, I have seen tremendous success licensing-in brands, strategically leveraging them for the demographics that recognize the best in class and quality, and then listing them in big box & specialty retailers. This agreement paves a path that will allow RWB and High Times to grow together well into the future beyond our news today.”

“Completing this deal represented by the only iconic brand in cannabis which has been around for over 45 years is a real honor. And to usher out prohibition of cannabis with this type of brand power has RWB in the best position we could be. We will look to leverage this and other licensing partnerships to support our existing retail and cultivation dominance as well as further foundationalize our positioning for future plans.”

“When you combine the incredibly valuable data that High Times can supply through their world renowned Cannabis Cups®, millions of monthly unique visitors to their websites (https://www.hightimes.com/) and massive social media presence with our experience in growing standardized, award winning premium flower and extracts, we have a winning formula to deliver the best and most consistent quality products in the market under a trusted brand that will be the hallmark of the industry.”

The Definitive Agreement includes RWB securing the rights from HT Retail Licensing, LLC (“HT”) to Culture® for the branding of CBD and whole hemp flower products nationally in the United States. Initial plans are to grow and manufacture these best-in-class products from its massive 3.6 million square foot facility in Illinois.

In addition to dispensaries becoming High Times branded destinations, RWB plans to introduce High Times branded products including flower, vapes, tinctures, topicals, and edibles through both owned and other third party outlets, subject to the licensing agreements for each respective state.

RWB’s US footprint currently spans Michigan, Illinois and Massachusetts. With a combined cultivation footprint of over 4,000,000 square feet, 600 employees and 22 individual facilities, RWB’s mandate is to operate at scale in select states that provide the greatest return for our partners and shareholders.

Details of the Transaction

Immediately prior to the entering into of the Definitive Agreement, Newco entered into: (i) a retail license agreement with HT whereby Newco was granted the right to use certain intellectual property associated with retail dispensary and local delivery services for cannabis products, cannabis accessories and merchandise in Michigan, Illinois and Florida; and (ii) a product licensing agreement with HT whereby Newco was granted an exclusive license to use certain intellectual property related to the commercialization of cannabis products in Michigan, Illinois and Florida and CBD products nationally carrying HT brands.

RWB entered into an acquisition agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) with HT, as licensor to Newco, and 1252240 B.C. Ltd. (the “Seller”), to acquire 1251881 B.C. Ltd. (“Newco”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Seller (the “Proposed Transaction”).

The Proposed Transaction will be completed by way of a three-cornered amalgamation under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), whereby 1252034 B.C. Ltd. (“Subco”), a newly formed wholly-owned British Columbia subsidiary of RWB, will amalgamate with Newco in exchange for US$15,000,000 worth of common shares of RWB (the “Consideration Shares”) at a deemed price of CDN $1.50 per share. Closing is subject to a number of corporate, regulatory and other approvals and conditions and is expected to occur on or about June 9, 2020. A finder’s fee will be payable on this transaction.
