SLANG Worldwide Completes Acquisition of Oregon's LBA Global Corporation

SLANG Worldwide Completes Acquisition of Oregon's LBA Global Corporation

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 1, 2020) - SLANG Worldwide Inc. (CNSX: SLNG), (OTCQB: SLGWF) ("SLANG" or the "Company"), a leading global cannabis consumer packaged goods (CPG) company with a diversified portfolio of popular brands, today announced that it has completed its previously announced acquisition (the "Transaction") of LBA Global Corporation ("LBA") and its Lunchbox Alchemy ("Lunchbox") brand portfolio and subsidiary Lunchbox Distribution. The Transaction is expected to bolster SLANG's position in Oregon by adding a complementary portfolio of top-selling products along with robust cannabis extraction, manufacturing and distribution capabilities. The establishment of an integrated operation is expected to generate increased revenues and gross profit in Oregon, which the Company considers to be a core market. "LBA satisfies several key strategic objectives for us, beyond the addition of some great brands to our portfolio," said SLANG President & CEO Chris Driessen. "Our strategy in core markets like Oregon is to consolidate our supply chain and establish a fully integrated, wholesale operation to capture greater unit economics. With this acquisition, we now have an experienced team on the ground, an advanced manufacturing facility and a thriving distribution business, all of which will serve as a platform for long-term growth." Founded in 2014, LBA is the owner of the award-winning Lunchbox Alchemy portfolio of cannabis brands, which has been recognized for its innovations in cannabis-infused edibles and concentrate production. Today, LBA owns and manufactures gummies and hard candies that have consistently ranked among the top sellers in their respective categories in Oregon over the past several years, according to BDSA. LBA also owns a CBD-infused product line that is currently available in more than 500 retail stores in 45 states across the U.S. SLANG intends to leverage LBA's infrastructure, experience and industry relationships to enhance its capabilities and market position in Oregon. Lunchbox Distribution is one of the largest cannabis distributors in the state and distributes Lunchbox products along with other selected third-party brands to 382 dispensaries across Oregon, representing approximately 62% dispensary penetration. "We are very excited to become part of the SLANG team. After working closely together over the past year, we are more confident than ever in the strategic fit and the path forward," said LBA CEO Eric Plantenberg. "Our local infrastructure and customer relationships plus SLANG's national footprint and proven experience growing brands is a winning combination that will add value for both companies." Under the terms of the Transaction, SLANG issued 23,913,043 restricted voting shares to the former owners of privately-held LBA in exchange for all equity interest in LBA and its subsidiaries. The Oregon market generated total retail sales in excess of $800 million USD in 2019, and grew by 39% in the first seven months of 2020 compared to the same period last year, according to BDSA. With the addition of Lunchbox to its existing brands such as O.penVAPE and Bakked, SLANG-branded products have recently ranked among the top 10 sellers in the edibles and vape categories. The Company has also entered the flower category in Oregon through a strategic partnership with Cookies. Media and Investor inquiries Investors@SLANGww.com About SLANG Worldwide Inc.

SLANG Worldwide Continues to Consolidate Colorado Supply Chain with Acquisition of Pleasant Valley Ranch
Press Release

SLANG Worldwide Continues to Consolidate Colorado Supply Chain with Acquisition of Pleasant Valley Ranch

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 29, 2020) -  SLANG Worldwide Inc. (CNSX: SLNG) (OTCQB: SLGWF) ("SLANG" or the "Company"), a leading global cannabis consumer packaged goods (CPG) company with a diversified portfolio of popular brands, today announced that it has entered into an agreement dated September 25, 2020 (the "Agreement") to acquire (the "Acquisition") Colorado-licensed cannabis cultivator Pleasant Valley Ranch, LLC ("Pleasant Valley"). SLANG anticipates that ownership of a cultivation operation will provide greater assurance of a supply of raw materials in the growing Colorado market, while also reducing its input costs and thereby improving gross margins. "The purchase of Pleasant Valley is another key step in our strategy to assemble a fully integrated, wholesale operation in our core market of Colorado," said SLANG President & CEO Chris Driessen. "The Colorado market continues to generate double-digit growth, and this transaction will help us capture additional market share. The acquisition of a trusted supplier will help us continue to expand our production volumes while improving our unit economics and maintaining our high standards of quality." Pleasant Valley is a privately-owned company located in Carbondale, CO specializing in high-quality, organically grown cannabis strains that thrive in high altitude, mountainous environments. Pleasant Valley has 1,600 square feet of greenhouse cultivation area, and a five-acre outdoor facility at an elevation of approximately 7,500 feet that produces an authentic, naturally cultivated product using snowmelt water. It currently has a capacity of 3,600 plants and produces approximately 4,800 pounds annually and is projected to double its capacity by 2021. Pleasant Valley has been a key supplier of raw materials for SLANG-branded concentrate and edibles products in Colorado. The purchase of Pleasant Valley marks another milestone in SLANG's strategy of consolidating its supply chain in Colorado. Following the approval of its application for suitability by the Colorado Department of Revenue's Marijuana Enforcement Division (the "MED") in August 2020, the Company acquired Denver-based licensed cannabis producer and distributor, Peoria Partners LLC. The Company is evaluating other potential acquisitions and opportunities in Colorado. The Colorado market generated total retail sales in excess of $1.7 billion USD in 2019, and grew by 22% in the first seven months of 2020 compared to the same period last year, according to BDSA. In these conditions of rising demand, the retail market price of flower in the state has recently exceeded $1,300 USD per pound, according to the Colorado Department of Revenue, an increase of more than 30% from a year earlier. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company will acquire Pleasant Valley for consideration comprised of a non-material amount of cash and common shares of the Company. The Acquisition will be completed by way of three-cornered amalgamation and is anticipated to close in the fourth quarter of 2020. Closing of the Acquisition is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including applicable regulatory approval by the MED.

SLANG Worldwide and Trulieve Partner to Bring Leading Portfolio of Cannabis Brands to Massachusetts

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 9, 2020) - SLANG Worldwide Inc. (CNSX: SLNG) ("SLANG" or the "Company"), a leading global cannabis consumer packaged goods (CPG) company with a diversified portfolio of popular brands, today announced a strategic partnership with Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (CSE: TRUL) & (OTCQX: TCNNF) ("Trulieve"), a leading and top-performing cannabis company based in the United States, to introduce SLANG-branded products to consumers in Massachusetts. Pursuant to the partnership, Trulieve has been granted an exclusive license to produce and distribute the SLANG product suite in Massachusetts, including its category-leading brands O.penVAPE, Firefly, Pressies, District Edibles, and Bakked. SLANG will also provide sales consulting services and will receive royalty payments for each branded product sold in the state. Trulieve is currently building out Phase 1 cultivation and processing capabilities at its 140,000 square foot facility in Holyoke, Massachusetts. Trulieve is also completing work on its first Massachusetts dispensary in Northampton, and holds licenses to operate up to three co-located medical and adult use locations. "Trulieve is a natural partner for us in Massachusetts given their industry leadership and the successful relationship our companies have enjoyed in Florida," said SLANG CEO Chris Driessen. "Here they will take on an additional capacity as a wholesaler and play a vital role in helping us grow our brands with cannabis consumers in the state." Massachusetts is the first eastern U.S. state to legalize both medical and adult use cannabis. Research firm BDS Analytics estimates that retail sales in the state will grow from US$587 million in 2019, the first full year of legal sales, to more than US$745 million in 2020, and an estimated US$1.35 billion by 2024. SLANG-branded products are expected to be available in Massachusetts in the first half of 2021, following the completion of Trulieve's facilities and ramp-up of production.
