TRICHOME FINANCIAL CORP. ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF PRIVATE PLACEMENT AND PROVIDES CORPORATE UPDATE

Trichome Financial Corp., a subsidiary of CannaRoyalty Corp., has closed its previously announced private placement. Gross proceeds from the offering were $15-million. The company intends to deploy the proceeds of the offering into its growing pipeline of specialty finance opportunities within the cannabis sector as well as for general working capital purposes.

"The rapidly evolving nature of the cannabis industry and its increasingly complex needs for capital have become apparent over the last several months. There is a clear need for alternative forms of capital not available in the marketplace today. We are pleased to see the high degree of confidence in Trichome's business model by investors and are confident that it is well positioned to succeed both in the domestic market, as well as global markets that are creating legal frameworks for cannabis," commented Michael Ruscetta, chief executive officer of Trichome. "With our offering now closed, we look forward to meeting the capital needs of the cannabis sector while laying the foundation for our future."

The pipeline of opportunities continues to grow daily, reflecting both the structural growth of the industry as well as the diverse and complex requirements for capital. "The Trichome team is diligently working on closing on a number of accretive transactions over the coming months from our database of opportunities," Mr. Ruscetta added.

Corporate update

Concurrent with the closing, Trichome is pleased to announce the addition of Christian Sinclair to the board of directors of Trichome. Mr. Sinclair is a well-regarded member of the Opaskwayak Cree First Nation and co-chair of Manitoba's Northern economic development strategy. He currently serves on the board of National Access Cannabis, in which OCN is both a significant shareholder and lender. Since 2002, he has worked with indigenous groups across Canada and the United States, focused on corporate development for major natural resource projects related to hydro, mining, oil and gas. Mr. Sinclair is well connected and highly regarded by the first nations communities throughout Manitoba and Canada, linking together development and partnerships with indigenous and non-indigenous communities.

Mr. Sinclair commented: "With cannabis legalization just a few weeks away, we are excited to break ground in this new era for the cannabis industry in Canada. This is truly a historic deal, and the first of its kind, where a first nation is joining hands with a specialty finance company. Our investment in Trichome builds on our existing diverse portfolio and we look forward to the many possibilities and the opportunities across Canada and globally that this relationship will bring to first nations investors."

"We are proud to partner with the Opaskwayak Cree Nation on the closing of Trichome's first external capital raise and welcome Christian Sinclair to the board of Trichome. We look forward to the opportunities that this relationship will bring to Trichome, OCN and other first nations in the years ahead," said Marc Lustig, chairman of Trichome.

"We are pleased to partner with Trichome and announce this deal, which is truly unique in Canada. We recognize the expertise of Trichome's management and board and look forward to growing together as the cannabis industry develops and matures," noted Norman Glen Ross, chairman of Paskwayak Business Development Corp., the economic development arm of the OCN.
