On September 23, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement (the "OEG Transaction") with 2675970 Ontario Inc.

Upon completion of the OEG Transaction, OEG Purchaser will acquire ownership of 23 Tokyo Smoke and Tweed store locations across Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Newfoundland and Labrador. As part of the OEG Transaction, the Tokyo Smoke brand will be transferred to an affiliate of OEG Purchaser and any purchased stores currently branded as Tweed will be rebranded.
