Bogota, Colombia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 11, 2021) - Medcolcanna Organics Inc. (NEO: MCCN) ("Medcolcanna", "MCCN" or the "Company"), a leading Colombian and globally integrated cannabis company, announces a shares for debt transaction whereby the Company has issued an aggregate of 3,837,440 common shares in the capital of the Company ("Common Shares") with certain trade creditors, employees and members of the Board of Directors in exchange for the forgiveness of a total amount of approximately $456,724.47 worth of debt owed to such creditors. A total of 1,812,764 of the Common Shares were issued at a price of $0.09 per share in exchange for the forgiveness of a total of approximately $163,150 worth of debt owing by the Company to some of its employees and members of the Board of Directors for director fees for Q3 and Q4 2020, such price being the 90 day volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the facilities of the Neo Exchange Inc. leading up to and including March 5, 2021. The balance of the Common Shares issued (2,024,676) are priced at $0.145 per share, the value being settled at the market price of the Common Shares as of March 5, 2021, being the last trading day prior to the date where the valuation of such shares was determined, to certain vendors and suppliers as well as members of the Board of Directors for director fees for Q1 2021. The issuance of the Common Shares allows the Company to settle certain debt owing to various creditors and preserve its working capital for growing the business as it works towards achieving self-sufficiency and being self-financing. The Common Shares are subject to a four month hold under applicable securities laws, such hold expiring on July 11, 2021.

MCCN believes that this demonstrates the trust of the Employees, Consultants and Suppliers of the Company, and their commitment to the future of the Company.

This issuance is considered to be a "related party transaction" pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 as several of the creditors are related parties to the Company, but the Company is availing itself of the exemptions from obtaining a formal valuation and obtaining "majority of the minority" approval due to the exemptions available in Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of said instrument.
