Deploy Announces Corporate Update


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - June 29, 2017) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE U.S.

Deploy Technologies Inc. (CSE:DEP)(CSE:DEP.CN)(CNSX:DEP) ("Deploy" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a series of corporate developments at Nevada Medical Group LLC ("NMG") related to the LOI between the companies announced on May 16, 2017, pursuant to which Deploy intends to acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of NMG (the "Transaction"). As at the time of this news release, the Transaction has not closed, and there can be no assurance that the Transaction will close as proposed, or at all.

NEW APPLICATIONS FOR NMG

NMG has completed agreements, of which Deploy was party to, with two companies for the application of new medical licences in Ohio and Arkansas. Such partnerships are required as different states have different application criteria, such as residency, finance and bonding. If NMG and its' partners are successful in obtaining these licenses it could provide a first-mover advantage to expand its' leading brand, Body & Mind ("BaM"), outside of Nevada without having to purchase new licences. NMG believes the "Super 12" Ohio licences could be among the most valuable in the US as the population base exceeds 11 million people. The Ohio application was submitted on June 28th, 2017.

Deploy has advanced US$46,500 to NMG, on a non-refundable and unsecured basis, to cover a portion of the expenses of the Ohio application as the submission deadline will occur prior to the intended closing of the Transaction. The entity submitting the application is NMG Ohio LLC, and is owned by the group processing the application ("applicant group") including NMG. If granted, NMG will retain a 30% interest in the license granted by Ohio, will be the operator, and will maintain a right of first refusal with respect to the remaining 70% interest, which shall be held by the applicant group as a whole. This process has been underway for several months and predates the LOI between NMG and Deploy. There is common ownership between the owners of NMG and NMG Ohio LLC.

The Arkansas application opportunity is under LOI between NMG and an in-state investor group who have agreed to fund the application process. In the event the application is successful, both parties will endeavour to complete a definitive partnership and operating agreement. NMG is hoping to replicate such opportunities where others are funding the risk capital in exchange for providing the necessary expertise in processing these applications, including credo, in order to expand BaM beyond Nevada and to ultimately create value for its shareholders.

OUT OF STATE LICENCING

NMG has recently signed a confidential LOI with a dispensary group to license the BaM brand in Montana which will mark the first out-of-state licencing deal for BaM. This is a testament to the brand strength of BaM but also shows the value of launching a national brand from Nevada, the destination to 45 million tourists annually. Licencing deals are of great value to NMG as there is no capital expenditure associated with building out cultivation and production facilities. NMG is pursuing other licencing opportunities but can provide no guarantee they will materialize into deals.

FINANCING AND CLOSING

Deploy is forecasting a mid July closing for its previously announced offering of subscription receipts of Deploy (the "Subscription Receipts") at an issue price of $0.22 per Subscription Receipt, with each Subscription Receipt being automatically converted, at no additional cost to the subscriber, upon the completion of the Transaction for one common share in the capital of Deploy and one common share purchase warrant exercisable at a price of $0.30 for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance, subject to acceleration provisions (the "Concurrent Financing"). The closing of the Concurrent Financing may be done in tranches, and the contemplated mid-July closing date for either the Concurrent Financing or a tranche thereof is anticipated to coincide with the completion of the definitive agreement between Deploy and NMG, audit of NMG, and listing statement preparation.

Murray Simser, CEO of Deploy commented, "The opportunities in the Nevada cannabis market must be among the best in the industry today. Nevada Medical Group has a clearly defined business model, a leading brand, and the leadership required to capitalize on the Las Vegas opportunity and beyond and we look forward to being a part of it."

About Nevada Medical Group LLC

NMG was an early applicant in Nevada in 2014 and was awarded one of the first state medical licences for both cultivation and production. NMG operates under its marquee brand name of Body & Mind ("BaM") and produces flower, oil extracts and edibles and are available for sale in approximately 70% of the dispensaries in Nevada.

The Company has approximately 20,000 square feet of current capacity and has plans to increase to 50,000 square feet. NMG anticipates a significant increase in demand due to new "Adult Use" licensing in the State of Nevada set to begin in July 2017 that would transform the market from 28,000 medical patients to over 45 million potential tourists. BaM has several growth initiatives underway including new product introductions, product licensing, third party extraction, out-of-state licencing, and acquisitions.
