| Proceeds from the Private Placement will provide the necessary capital to accelerate the Company’s growth initiatives in both Florida and Michigan. In Florida, where the Company currently operates two cultivation facilities and 24 retail dispensaries (with 3 more to be opened shortly), the proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to: (i) immediately complete Phase 2 of the Company’s new Sweetwater cultivation facility, more than doubling that facility’s annual production capacity from 3,000 lbs. to more than 6,000 lbs. of high quality flower, (ii) construct a new building at the Sweetwater facility to more efficiently trim, process and package the increased flower supply; and (iii) create four additional grow rooms in the Tampa cultivation facility to increase the supply of flower and biomass by approximately 2,400 lbs. annually and to improve operating efficiencies. In addition, proceeds from the Private Placement will help accelerate opening two new dispensaries in Pennsylvania and an additional two in Florida by year-end, thereby increasing the Company’s dispensary footprint to 31 locations. In Michigan, the Company will expand its existing cultivation facility and construct additional support infrastructure to capitalize on the strong demand for recreational cannabis throughout the state.
