bought deal basis, 71,500,000 units of the Company ("Units") at a
price of C$1.40 per Unit (the "Offering"), representing aggregate

grant to the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional

and conditions as the Offering, exercisable at any time, in whole
or in part, until the date that is 30 days following the closing of
the Offering. If the option is exercised in its entirety, the
aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering to Cannabis Wheaton will
be approximately C$115 million.
The Company plans to use the net proceeds from
the Offering for capital expenditures relating to domestic and
international operations and capacity expansion, for potential new
investment opportunities and for general working capital
purposes.

Company’s base shelf prospectus dated February 28, 2018. The terms
of the Offering will be described in a prospectus supplement to be
filed with securities regulators in each of the provinces of
Canada, except Quebec.

New factors emerge from time to time, and it is
not possible for management to predict all of those factors or to
assess in advance the impact of each such factor on the Company's
business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of
factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those
