Additional locations in Gainesville, Lakeland, and Bonita Springs are expected to open in the coming weeks pending final OMMU approval. Details regarding these openings will be posted on the GrowHealthy website at www.growhealthy.com.  

Finally, as highlighted in our press release dated June 17, 2019, options issued to certain senior executives that were cancelled as of that date to be reissued in 30 days at a price C$7.50 have been reissued and a Form 11 was filed with the CSE on August 6, 2019 reflecting this issuance. The strike price of C$7.50 represents a 78% premium over the closing price of iAnthus shares on August 6, 2019.
