Golden Leaf Signs Binding Letter of Intent for Acquisition of Leading Vape Company -- JuJu Joints

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - March 16, 2017) - Golden Leaf Holdings Ltd. ("GLH" or the "Company") (CSE: GLH) (OTCQB: GLDFF), a leading cannabis oil solutions company built around recognized brands, is pleased to announce that the Company has signed a binding Letter of Intent (LOI) to acquire the assets and business of JuJu Joints (http://www.jujujoints.com/home) (the "Transaction").

JuJu Joints is a leading disposable cannabis oil vape e-joint product that utilizes proprietary vape technology and has established strong brand equity and market penetration in Washington state, Oregon, Nevada, California and Canada.

Don Robinson, CEO of Golden Leaf Holdings, commented, "The JuJu Joint brand complements and expands the GLH brand portfolio and provides GLH with expanded access to distribution and markets in Nevada, California and Canada. The legal cannabis market is a target rich environment for a company like Golden Leaf that has a management team and board of directors with years of experience building businesses organically and through acquisition. While we will be deliberate in pursuing strategic acquisition opportunities, we do believe that such a strategy is in the best interests of Golden Leaf and our shareholders."

Pursuant to the Transaction, JJ 206, LLC ("JuJu Co") will receive cash consideration of US$2.25 million and, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, an aggregate of US$2.25 million of common shares of GLH on the closing date of the Transaction.

Among the acquisition targets that the Company will focus on are existing production/processing/distribution licenses in other states, proprietary oil extraction technologies, and existing leading brands.
