CannaRoyalty Announces Launch of Trichome Yield Corp.

Trichome will provide its investors with yield-oriented exposure from asset-rich companies across the rapidly growing cannabis supply chain, including: various classes of ACMPR licensed producers ("LPs") and applicants; cannabis companies to be licensed under the proposed Cannabis Act (including micro producers and processors); production equipment and related supply companies; testing and research labs, manufacturers and distributers of cannabis and related downstream products, and retailers.

Trichome's goals are to provide a secured yield investment product, with complementary equity exposure to the cannabis industry, and to become an integral lending partner throughout the Canadian supply chain and other fully legal markets internationally.

"Trichome will draw on CannaRoyalty's sector-specific expertise in evaluating, investing in, and operating global cannabis companies to provide a needed source of debt capital to Canadian cannabis companies," said Marc Lustig, CEO of CannaRoyalty. "We see significant opportunity for growth as Canadian LPs build-out additional production capacity and ancillary businesses ramp up operations in anticipation of July 2018 and beyond. Since signing our Canada-focused joint venture agreement with Sprott in August, we have been approached by and evaluated a number of fundamentally strong Canadian operators seeking a lending partner in the marketplace. We anticipate that Trichome will be an integral source of capital for cannabis companies that are looking for less onerous and potentially dilutive financing solutions. As more countries and jurisdictions open and Trichome grows both in Canada and internationally, we see it becoming a significant value driver for CannaRoyalty shareholders, while offering an attractive source of yield and sector exposure for its investors."

Trichome is currently a majority-owned subsidiary of CannaRoyalty, and will be raising capital from outside parties to support its growth. In conjunction with the launch, the founding partners will contribute initial funding to cover start-up operating expenses.

About Trichome

Trichome is a majority-owned subsidiary of CannaRoyalty and was formed to offer secured lending solutions to companies operating across the Canadian cannabis value chain. Trichome expects to offer a suite of simple asset-backed lending solutions to cannabis companies looking to fund: capital expenditures including the build out or expansion of existing facilities; the purchase of equipment and inventory; working capital to support growth; and other capital requirements. Trichome is focused primarily on addressing the largely underserviced Canadian market and expects to expand to meet the needs of companies operating in fully legal international markets as new jurisdictions develop.
