The issuance is considered to be a shares-for-debt transaction under the policies of the TSX-V and remains subject to TSX-V approval.
Australia Flooding
A major flooding event has occurred in Queensland and New South Wales, Australia, resulting in property damage and loss of life throughout the region and including in Brisbane where the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Australian Vaporizers Pty Limited (“AV”) leases a warehouse facility. Thankfully, the Company can report that all members of the AV team are safe and accounted for, though the business did suffer partial loss of inventory and is experiencing business interruption. Whilst any disruption to any business is not welcome, the AV team is working diligently to resume standard operations as soon as possible and while the near-term impact is still being fully quantified, the Company is confident in AV’s ability for a quick and full recovery due to its superior customer service, high repeat customer rate, and the measures already put into place to maintain customer loyalty. Furthermore, AV will take this opportunity to instigate initiatives to optimize operations and set future foundations for continued growth by investigating expansion into new premises.
“First and foremost, my heart goes out to all those affected by the flooding,” said Meni Morim, CEO of Lifeist. “Unfortunate as it is, thanks to our amazing can-do team at AV, this challenge also presents an opportunity to accelerate improvement and growth. The AV team’s ‘build back better’ initiative will see the operation emerge better and stronger and consolidate its position as one of Australia’s pre-eminent sellers of vaporizers and smoking accessories.”

The forward-looking information contained herein, including, without limitation, statements related to the issuance of shares as payment for the fifth tranche of the remaining base purchase price to the vendors under the share purchase agreement for the acquisition of CannMart Labs Inc. and the anticipated growth and improvement prospects of AV including the potential expansion into new premises as a result of the flooding, are made as of the date of this press release and is based on assumptions management believed to be reasonable at the time such statements were made, including, without limitation, its ability to obtain TSX-V approval for the shares for debt transaction and AV’s ability to quickly resume business activities, as well as other considerations that are believed to be appropriate in the circumstances. While we consider these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to management, there is no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. By its nature, forward-looking information is subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that may be general or specific and which give rise to the possibility that expectations, forecasts, predictions, projections or conclusions will not prove to be accurate, that assumptions may not be correct and that objectives, strategic goals and priorities will not be achieved. A variety of factors, including known and unknown risks, many of which are beyond our control, could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking information in this press release. Such factors include, without limitation: the failure to obtain the requisite approval of the TSX-V for the shares-for-debt issuance, and the inability of AV to resume standard operations as soon as possible or as anticipated, and AV’s inability to find new adequate premises on economic terms, if at all. Additional risk factors can also be found in the Company’s current MD&A and annual information form, both of which have been filed under the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking information.
