“Timing is important. The valuations and fates of MSOs and other participants in the cannabis industry have vacillated in several waves since state legalization commenced. We believe that increased legalization is inevitable in time, both at the federal level and in the form of improved regulatory environments in Washington. Preparing ourselves for that day is an important aspect of our long-term plans, including by expanding our brands and building on our footprint in valuable new geographies, and accessing long term equity capital to do so with shareholder friendly structures. Critically, the Artizen capital structure after the spin-out is completed has been specifically designed to allow us to raise equity financing on terms that vastly exceed anything that we can accomplish with Pervasip’s current capital structure.”[
