6.3
Industry Specific Acknowledgements and Risks

The Subscriber, on its own behalf and, if applicable, on behalf of each beneficial purchaser, including any Disclosed Principal, for whom it is acting hereunder, hereby acknowledges, covenants and agrees as follows:

(a)
Nature of the business model. Since the cultivation, manufacturing, possession and distribution of cannabis for medical, adult-use (i.e., recreational) or otherwise, that is not related to research sanctioned by the United States federal government, is prohibited under Federal Cannabis Laws, it is possible that the Corporation may be forced to cease certain of the Corporation’s activities. The United States federal government, through, among others, the Department of Justice (“DOJ”), its sub-agency the Drug Enforcement Agency (“DEA”), and the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), have the right to actively investigate, audit and shutdown cannabis growing facilities, processors and retailers. The United States federal government may also attempt to seize property. Any action taken by the DOJ, the DEA and/or the IRS to impede, seize or shutdown the Corporation’s operations will have an adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, operating results and financial condition.

- 20 -

IF " DOCVARIABLE "SWDocIDLocation" 1" = "1" " DOCPROPERTY "SWDocID" FH11438124.4" "" FH11438124.4

 

LEGAL*59270824.3

 


 

(b)
Some of the Corporation’s business activities, while believed to be compliant with State and/or Local Cannabis Regulations, are prohibited under Federal Cannabis Laws. In the United States, medical and adult-use cannabis industry operations are largely regulated at the state and local levels. Although certain states and territories of the United States authorize medical and/or adult-use cannabis cultivation, manufacturing and distribution by operating entities licensed or registered under State and/or Local Cannabis Regulations, under Federal Cannabis Laws, the possession, cultivation, manufacturing and distribution of cannabis, for any purpose other than DEA-sanctioned research, and any related drug paraphernalia, is prohibited, and constitute criminal acts under Federal Cannabis Laws, including the Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”). The contribution to and involvement in such activities may result in federal civil and/or criminal prosecution, incarceration and/or forfeiture of the Subscriber’s entire investment.

Violations of any Federal Cannabis Laws could result in significant fines, penalties, administrative sanctions, convictions or settlements arising from civil proceedings conducted by either the federal government or private citizens, or criminal charges, including but not limited to disgorgement of profits, cessation of business activities or divestiture. This could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation, including the Corporation’s reputation and ability to conduct business, the Corporation’s holding (directly or indirectly) of State and/or Local Cannabis Licenses, the Corporation’s financial position, operating results, profitability or liquidity or the market price of the Shares. In addition, it is difficult to estimate the time or resources that would be needed for the investigation of any such matters or its final resolution because, in part, the time and resources that may be needed are dependent on the nature and extent of any information requested by the applicable authorities involved, and such time or resources could be substantial.

In addition, since the possession, cultivation, manufacturing, and distribution of cannabis and any related drug paraphernalia is prohibited under Federal Cannabis Laws, the Corporation may be deemed to be aiding-and-abetting criminal activities through the contracts the Corporation has entered into and the products that the Corporation distributes. The Corporation cultivates and manufactures cannabis, and distributes cannabis products through operating dispensaries, and otherwise, leases intellectual property and/or real property in a number of states. As a result, law enforcement authorities, in their attempt to regulate the illicit distribution of cannabis and any related drug paraphernalia, may seek to bring an action or actions against the Corporation, including, but not limited to, aiding and abetting another’s criminal activities. The federal aiding and abetting statute provides that anyone who “commits an offense against the United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is punishable as a principal.” As a result of such an action, the Corporation may be forced to cease certain operations and the Subscriber could lose its entire investment. Such an action would have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business and operations.

State and/or Local Cannabis Regulations are relatively new and constantly evolving, so there are uncertainties as to how the state authorities will interpret and administer applicable regulatory requirements. Any determination that the Corporation fails to comply with State and/or Local Cannabis Regulations would require the Corporation either to significantly change or terminate lines of business, or the business as a whole, which would have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business.

LEGAL*59270824.3

 


 

(c)
Regulatory risks are inherent to the Corporation. The activities of the Corporation are subject to regulation by Government Authorities. The Corporation’s business objectives are contingent upon, in part, compliance with regulatory requirements enacted by these Government Authorities and obtaining all regulatory approvals, where necessary, for the distribution of products in each jurisdiction in which the Corporation operates. The Corporation cannot predict the time required to secure all appropriate regulatory approvals, or the extent of testing and documentation that may be required by Government Authorities. Any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain regulatory approvals would significantly delay the development of markets and products and could have a material adverse effect.

No assurance can be given that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could limit or curtail the Corporation’s ability to cultivate, manufacture, or distribute cannabis. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing the cultivation, manufacturing, or distribution of cannabis, or more stringent implementation thereof could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation.

(d)
Regulatory scrutiny of the Corporation’s industry may negatively impact its ability to raise additional capital. The Corporation’s business activities are expected to rely on newly established and developing laws and regulations, including in a number of states. These laws and regulations are rapidly evolving and subject to change with minimal notice. Regulatory changes may adversely affect the Corporation’s profitability or cause it to cease operations entirely. The cannabis industry may come under the scrutiny or further scrutiny of the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives; Securities and Exchange Commission; DOJ; the Financial Industry Regulatory Advisory or other federal, state or other applicable state or non-governmental regulatory authorities or self-regulatory organizations that supervise or regulate the cultivation, manufacture, and distribution of cannabis for medical or adult-use purposes in the United States. It is impossible to determine the extent of the impact of any new laws, regulations or initiatives that may be proposed, or whether any proposals will become law. The regulatory uncertainty surrounding the Corporation’s industry may adversely affect the business and operations of the Corporation, including without limitation, the costs to remain compliant with applicable laws and the impairment of the Corporation’s business or the ability to raise additional capital, which could reduce, delay or eliminate any return on investment in the Corporation.
(e)
The size of the Corporation’s target market is difficult to quantify and the Subscriber will be reliant on their own estimates on the accuracy of market data. Because the cannabis industry is in an early stage with uncertain boundaries, there is a lack of information about comparable companies available for review in deciding about whether to invest in the Corporation and, few, if any, established companies whose business model the Corporation can follow or upon whose success the Corporation can build. Accordingly, the Subscriber will have to rely on their own estimates in deciding about whether to invest in the Corporation. There can be no assurance that the Corporation’s estimates will be accurate or that the market size is sufficiently large for its business to grow as projected or anticipated, which may negatively impact its financial results.
(f)
The Corporation may have difficulty accessing the service of banks and processing credit card payments in the United States, which may make it difficult for the

Corporation to operate. In February 2014, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) bureau of the Treasury Department issued guidance (which is not law) with respect to financial institutions providing banking services to cannabis businesses, including burdensome due diligence expectations and reporting requirements. This guidance does not provide any safe harbors or legal defenses from examination or regulatory or criminal enforcement actions by the DOJ, FinCEN or other federal regulators. Thus, most banks and other financial institutions are not comfortable providing banking services to cannabis-related businesses, or relying on this guidance, which can be amended or revoked at any time. In addition to the foregoing, banks may refuse to process debit card payments and credit card companies generally refuse to process credit card payments for cannabis-related businesses. As a result, the Corporation may have limited or no access to banking or other financial services in the United States and may have to operate the Corporation’s business on an all-cash basis. The inability or limitation in the Corporation’s ability to open or maintain bank accounts, obtain other banking services and/or accept credit card and debit card payments in the United States may make it difficult for the Corporation to operate and conduct business as planned.
(g)
Federal trademark and patent protection may not be available for the intellectual property of the Corporation due to the current classification of marijuana as a Schedule I controlled substance. As long as marijuana remains illegal under Federal Cannabis Laws as a Schedule I controlled substance pursuant to the CSA, the benefit of certain federal laws and protections which may be available to most businesses, such as federal trademark and patent protection regarding the intellectual property of a business, may not be available to the Corporation. As a result, the Corporation’s intellectual property may never be adequately or sufficiently protected against the use or misappropriation by third-parties. In addition, since the regulatory framework of the cannabis industry is in a constant state of flux, the Corporation can provide no assurance that it will ever obtain any protection of its intellectual property, whether on a federal, state or local level.
(h)
The Corporation’s contracts may not be legally enforceable in the United States. Because certain of the Corporation’s contracts involve cannabis and other activities that are not legal under Federal Cannabis Laws and in certain state jurisdictions, the Corporation may face difficulties enforcing such contracts in federal and certain state courts.
(i)
There is uncertainty surrounding the policies of the United States federal government. As a result of the conflict of laws that currently exists between Federal Cannabis Laws and the State and/or Local Cannabis Regulations, investments in cannabis business in the United States are subject to inconsistent laws and regulation. The response to this inconsistency was addressed in August 2013 when then Deputy Attorney General, James Cole, authored the Cole Memorandum (the “Memorandum”). The Memorandum was addressed to all U.S. Attorneys acknowledging that, notwithstanding the designation of cannabis as a controlled substance at the federal level in the United States, several U.S. states enacted State and/or Local Cannabis Regulations for medical and adult-use purposes. The Memorandum outlined certain priorities for the DOJ relating to the prosecution of cannabis offenses. In particular, the Memorandum noted that in jurisdictions that enacted State and/or Local Cannabis Regulations and that have also implemented strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems to control the cultivation, distribution, sale and possession of cannabis, conduct in compliance with those State and/or Local Cannabis Regulations is less likely to be a priority at the federal level. In light of limited investigative and prosecutorial resources, the Memorandum

concluded that the DOJ should be focused on addressing only the most significant threats related to cannabis. States where State and/or Local Cannabis Regulations had been enacted were not characterized as a high priority.

On January 4, 2018, then U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a memorandum to U.S. Attorneys which rescinded the Memorandum. With the Memorandum rescinded, U.S. federal prosecutors can exercise their discretion, without regard to the priorities enumerated in the Memorandum, in determining whether to prosecute cannabis-related operations that are compliant with State and/or Local Cannabis Regulations but that violate Federal Cannabis Laws.

On March 11, 2021, Merrick Garland was appointed as U.S. Attorney General. At his confirmation hearing, he said, “It does not seem to me a useful use of limited resources that we have, to be pursuing prosecutions in states that have legalized and that are regulating the use of marijuana, either medically or otherwise”. He has not yet reissued the Memorandum, however, or issued substitute guidance. In the fiscal 2022 omnibus spending bill, Congress included the Rohrabacher-Farr amendment which prohibits the Department of Justice from spending funds to interfere with the implementation of state medical cannabis laws until September 30, 2022.

Multiple legislative reforms related to cannabis and cannabis-related banking are currently being considered by the federal government in the United States. Examples include the States Reform Act; the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act; the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment and Expungement Act; the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act; and the Capital Lending and Investment for Marijuana Businesses (CLIMB) Act. There can be no assurance that any of these pieces of legislation will become law in the United States.

(j)
Due to the classification of marijuana as a Schedule I controlled substance under the CSA, banks and other financial institutions which service the cannabis industry are at risk of violating certain financial laws, including anti-money laundering statutes. Because the cultivation, manufacture, and distribution of cannabis is prohibited under the CSA, banks and other financial institutions providing services to cannabis-related businesses risk violation of federal anti-money laundering statutes (18 U.S.C. §§ 1956 and 1957), the unlicensed money-remitter statute (18 U.S.C. § 1960) and the Bank Secrecy Act. These statutes can impose criminal liability for engaging in certain financial and monetary transactions with the proceeds of a “specified unlawful activity” such as distributing controlled substances which are illegal under federal law, including cannabis, and for failing to identify or report financial transactions that involve the proceeds of cannabis-related violations of the CSA. The Corporation may also be exposed to the foregoing risks. In the event that any of the Corporation’s investments, or any proceeds thereof, any dividends or distributions therefrom, or any profits or revenues accruing from such investments in the United States were found to be in violation of money laundering legislation or otherwise, such transactions may be viewed as proceeds of crime under one or more of the statutes noted above or any other applicable legislation.
(k)
Third-party service providers to the Corporation may withdraw or suspend their service under threat of prosecution. Since under Federal Cannabis Laws the possession, cultivation, manufacturing, and distribution of cannabis and any related drug paraphernalia is prohibited, and any such acts are criminal acts under Federal Cannabis

Laws, companies that provide goods and/or services to companies engaged in cannabis-related activities may, under threat of federal civil and/or criminal prosecution, suspend or withdraw their services. Any suspension of service and inability to procure goods or services from an alternative source, even on a temporary basis, that causes interruptions in the Corporation’s operations could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business.
(l)
FDA regulation of medical-use cannabis and the possible registration of facilities where cannabis is cultivated, manufactured, and/or distributed could negatively affect the medical-use cannabis industry, which would directly affect the Corporation’s financial condition. Should the federal government legalize cannabis for medical or adult-use use, it is possible that the FDA, would seek to regulate it under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Additionally, the FDA may issue rules and regulations including, but not limited to, good manufacturing practice, related to the cultivation, manufacturing, advertising, and distribution of cannabis. Clinical trials may be needed to demonstrate efficacy and safety to support medical claims. It is also possible that the FDA would require that facilities where cannabis is cultivated, manufactured, and/or distributed register with the FDA and comply with certain federally prescribed regulations. In the event that some or all of these regulations are imposed, it is unknown what the impact would be on the cannabis industry, including what costs, requirements and possible prohibitions may be enforced. If the Corporation is unable to comply with the regulations or registration as prescribed by the FDA it may have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, operating results and financial condition.
(m)
The Corporation is subject to Section 280E of the Code because of its business activities and the resulting disallowance of tax deductions could cause it to incur more than anticipated U.S. federal income tax. Under Section 280E of the Code (“Section 280E”), “no deduction or credit shall be allowed for any amount paid or incurred during the taxable year in carrying on any trade or business if such trade or business (or the activities which comprise such trade or business) consists of trafficking in controlled substances (within the meaning of schedule I and II of the Controlled Substances Act) which is prohibited by Federal law or the law of any State in which such trade or business is conducted.” Cannabis is classified under schedule I of the CSA. Consequently, this provision has been applied by the IRS to cannabis operations, prohibiting them from deducting ordinary business expenses directly associated with the sale of cannabis. Section 280E therefore has a significant impact on the retail side of cannabis operations, but a lesser impact on cultivation and manufacturing operations. A result of Section 280E is that the effective tax rate on cannabis businesses may be extraordinarily high, and an otherwise profitable business may, in fact, operate at a loss, after taking into account its income tax expenses.
(n)
The Corporation’s operations in the United States may become the subject of heightened scrutiny by regulators and other authorities. The Corporation may be subject to significant direct and indirect interaction with public officials as a result of such heightened scrutiny. There can be no assurance that this heightened scrutiny will not in turn lead to the imposition of certain restrictions on the Corporation’s ability to operate or invest in the United States or any other jurisdiction. Government policy changes or public opinion may also result in a significant influence over the regulation of the cannabis industry. A negative shift in the public’s perception of medical-use and/or adult-use cannabis in the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction could affect future legislation or regulation. Among other things, such a shift could cause state

jurisdictions to abandon initiatives or proposals to regulate medical and/or adult-use cannabis, thereby limiting the number of new state jurisdictions into which the Corporation could expand.
(o)
Your investment in the Corporation may itself be illegal under U.S. federal law; changes in federal enforcement affecting the cannabis industry may cause adverse effects on the Corporation’s business. Overall, an investor’s contribution to and involvement in the Corporation’s activities may result in federal civil and/or criminal prosecution, including forfeiture of his, her or its entire investment.

The Corporation is complying with state-regulated cannabis programs, regardless of its legal status under U.S. federal law, and your investment has been designed to be compliant with all applicable state laws and regulations to which the Corporation are subject; however, under U.S. federal law, such investments may be considered illegal under the CSA (particularly 21 U.S.C. § 854) or other indirect criminal liability theories such as aiding and abetting or conspiracy. Additionally, financial transactions involving proceeds generated by cannabis-related conduct can form the basis for prosecution under the federal money laundering statutes (18 U.S.C. § 1956), the unlicensed money transmitter statute and the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act. If the federal government were to reverse its long-standing hands-off approach to the state legal cannabis markets and start more broadly enforcing federal laws regarding cannabis, investors or the Corporation itself could also face criminal liability; in the event that investors or the Corporation faces enforcement it would likely be unable to execute its business plan, and its business and financial results would be adversely affected.

(p)
The Corporation, Its Officers, Investors Or Other Stakeholders May Be Required To Disclose Personal Information To Government Or Regulatory Entities; Failing To Do So Could Negatively Impact The Corporation’s Business, Financial Conditions Or Results Of Operations. The Corporation intends to operate a U.S. state-licensed cannabis business. Acquiring even a minimal or indirect interest in a U.S. state-licensed cannabis business can trigger requirements to disclose officers’, investors’ and other stakeholders’ personal information. While these requirements vary by jurisdiction, some require interest holders to apply for regulatory approval and to provide tax returns, compensation agreements, fingerprints for background checks, criminal history records and other documents and information. Some states require disclosures of directors, officers and holders of more than a specified percentage of equity of the applicant. While some states include exceptions for investments in publicly traded entities, not all states do so, and some such exceptions are confined to companies traded on a U.S. securities exchange. If these regulations apply to the Corporation, investors, officers and other stakeholders are required to comply with such regulations, or face the possibility that any relevant cannabis license held could be revoked or cancelled by the state licensing authority.
