(" Bhang " or the " Company ") (CSE: BHNG) (OTCQB: BHNGF), a global cannabis CPG brand company with an award-winning portfolio of products, announced today that it has completed a number of debt settlements (the " Settlements ") with various creditors of the Company.

Of the Warrants issued, 1,540,000 Warrants are exercisable until December 30, 2023 at a price of $0.10 per Subordinate Voting Share and the remaining 2,400,000 Warrants are exercisable until December 30, 2021 at a price of $0.10 per Subordinate Voting Share.

The Subordinate Voting Shares and Warrants issued in connection with the Settlements are subject to a statutory four month and one day hold period expiring on May 1, 2021 , and such further restrictions as may apply under foreign securities laws.
