On April 26, 2023, the Company issued a news release to announce entry into the
Illinois market with the opening of the Body and Mind dispensary in Markham,
Illinois.
The Body and Mind dispensary is a full-service cannabis dispensary and brings
our battle-tested skills and experience from the California, Nevada, Ohio,
Michigan and Arkansas markets to help patients and customers with a wide range
of brands and cannabis offerings including edibles, flowers, vaping products,
concentrates, capsules, tinctures, topicals and accessories. The new location

continues to be an underserved market for cannabis patients and customers," said

store design, curated product offerings, and knowledgeable staff will be
welcomed in the Illinois market. The second Body and Mind dispensary in Illinois
is moving through the development stage and the Company is advancing our
Illinois and New Jersey opportunities as quickly as possible."
"I would like to further acknowledge and thank our license application team on
the culmination of their efforts in applying for Illinois licenses which started
in 2019. We consider license applications to be one of our core Company
competencies which work in parallel to our operating dispensaries, cultivation
and processing business units. We believe that winning licenses through
successful applications remains one of the highest return on investment
activities in cannabis. We have demonstrated success with winning license
applications and look forward to using this parallel path to create potential
additional shareholder value while ensuring we are focused on operational
excellence in Illinois and New Jersey."
