COPENHAGEN, Denmark, 4 January 2023 - DanCann Pharma A/S (SS: DANCAN) ("DanCann Pharma" or the "Company"), a Danish company powered by cannabinoids, hereby announces that the Company has appointed Peter Søndergaard as new Chief Financial Officer ("CFO").

Peter Søndergaard, who holds a Master of Science in Strategy and Management, has more than 15 years of experience from C-level employment in production and sales companies. At DanCann Pharma, Peter Søndergaard will lead the finance function in the growing organization, which consists of DanCann Pharma A/S and the subsidiary CannGros ApS. He will be responsible for developing and implementing relevant financial management tools adapted to the individual business areas in collaboration with the executive management team, of which he will be a part together with CEO Jeppe Krog Rasmussen, COO Sarah Mai Holm and CEO in the subsidiary CannGros, Louise Conradsen.

Jeppe Krog Rasmussen, CEO of DanCann Pharma, comments:

- For some time, we have had an interim CFO (consultant) on reduced hours, but in line with the commercialization of the business and our increasing focus on operations and optimization, we need a permanent, full resource who can help transform the finance function from simply accounting focus to finance/business focus. We have continuously been looking for the right profile, and we are convinced that we have found that in Peter. He has the necessary broad experience in working with business processes throughout the finance function and I am sure that Peter's versatility will help at DanCann Pharma, where he will be empowered to put his own mark on the finance function.

Peter Søndergaard is looking forward to getting started at DanCann Pharma - and to contribute to the organization's goals, growth and profitability.

Peter Søndergaard elaborates:

- For several years, the key focus of my work has been the transformation of finance departments, where I have used my role in finance to actively create a strong foundation with a modern finance function by means of optimizing processes and digitalization. I have a proactive approach to my work and am at the same time driven by a strong desire to create results through motivating my colleagues' drive and commitment. DanCann Pharma is a young, ambitious company with clear goals for the future and a committed and competent team of employees, of which I look forward to becoming a part.

Peter Søndergaard has joined the Company from the beginning of January together with two more new colleagues. DanCann Pharma has 18 employees from January 2023.
