iAnthus Capital Holdings, Inc. ('iAnthus' or the 'Company') (CSE: IAN, OTCQX: ITHUF), which owns, operates, and partners with regulated cannabis operations across the United States, announces that the Company did not file the following continuous disclosure documents (collectively, the 'Interim Filings') prior to the filing deadline on July 14, 2020.

The Company had previously announced on July 17, 2020 that it had failed to file its annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, the management's discussion and analysis related thereto and the related certificates required by NI 52-109 (the 'Annual Filings'). As a result, further to the Company's news release on June 23, 2020, the Company is subject to a cease trade order (the 'CTO') issued by the Ontario Securities Commission on June 22, 2020. The CTO affects trading in all securities of the Company by securityholders of the Company, in each jurisdiction in Canada in which the Company is a reporting issuer and will remain in effect until such time as the Company has filed both the Annual Filings and the Interim Filings. If the Annual Filings and Interim Filings are made within 90 days of the date of the CTO, such filings would constitute the Company's application to have the CTO revoked. The Company expects to file the Annual Filings and the Interim Filings on or before the 90-day deadline.
