ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURE
| 3 U.S. Federal Regulatory Regime: Readers are cautioned that in the United States, cannabis is illegal at the federal level and only regulated at the state and local level. To the knowledge of the Company, there are to date a total of 33 states, plus the District of Columbia, that have legalized cannabis in some form. Notwithstanding the permissive regulatory environment of medical and/or recreational cannabis at certain State and local levels, cannabis continues to be categorized as a Schedule I controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act in the United States and as such, cannabis-related practices or activities, including without limitation, the manufacture, importation, possession, use or distribution of cannabis are illegal under United States federal law. Companies and investors participating in the regulated cannabis industry are subject to myriad risks as a result of applicable laws and regulations, including, without limitation, the risk of criminal prosecution and asset seizure, burdensome tax liabilities, lack of access to banking services and an inability to enforce certain creditor and intellectual property rights. Strict compliance with State and local laws with respect to cannabis will neither absolve OCG or Cannabis One of liability under the United States federal law, nor will it provide a defense to any Federal proceeding, which may be brought against OCG or Cannabis One. Any such proceedings brought against OCG or Cannabis One may materially adversely affect either company's operations and financial performance. Investment in OCG or Cannabis One is only suitable for investors that understand and have discussed with their legal, tax and financial advisors the rapidly changing laws and regulations applicable to the regulated cannabis industry and that knowingly accept the associated risks. An investor’s contribution to and involvement in such activities may result in federal civil and/or criminal prosecution, including forfeiture of his, her or its entire investment. Proposed Business Combination: This presentation has been prepared by management of OCG to assist readers in understanding the business of the Company following a proposed reverse takeover transaction by Cannabis One (the "Proposed RTO"), as described in a non-binding letter of intent dated October 30, 2019 between OCG and Cannabis One (the "LOI"). Readers are cautioned that there is no definitive agreement to consummate the Proposed RTO and a definitive agreement to consumate the Proposed RTO may not be successfully negotiated or entered into and that all information contained herein assuming that the Proposed RTO has been completed constitutes forward-looking information. If the Proposed RTO is not consummated, or not consummated substantially upon the terms and conditions proposed in the LOI, the information and statements in this presentiaton regarding the resulting issuer of the Proposed RTO (the "Resulting Issuer") would be innaccurate in all material respects. Non-GAAP Disclosure: Readers should note that "EBITDA" (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization" and "TTM" (trailing twelve months) do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and, therefore, are considered non-GAAP financial measures and do not have any standardized meaning under GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company (and to the extent information is provided by Cannabis One, management of Cannabis One) believes that the foregoing financial measures are useful supplemental measures, which provide an indication of the current and anticipated results generated by the Resulting Issuer’s business activities. Readers are cautioned, however, that EBITDA and TTM revenue should not be construed as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the Company's, Cannabis One's or the Resulting Issuer's financial performance. The reader is advised that while the Company and Cannabis One realize certain revenue through long-term service arrangements with its client brands, current state regulatory restrictions and United States federal restrictions may prevent the Company or Cannabis One (or the Resulting Issuer) from consolidating the financial results of such brands.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Forward-Looking Statements: This presentation includes information, statements, beliefs and opinions which are forward-looking, and which reflect current estimates, expectations and projections about future events, referred to herein and which constitute "forward-looking statements" or "forward-looking information" within the meaning of Canadian and United States securities laws.

The forward-looking information and statements contained herein are based
along with other factors management of OCG and Cannabis One consider relevant and reasonable as at the date hereof. Except for statements of historical fact, information contained herein constitutes forward- looking statements and includes, but is not limited to (i) the completion of the Proposed RTO; (ii) the projected financial performance of the Resulting Issuer; (iii) the completion of, and the use of proceeds from, any financing described hereunder; (iv) future legal and regulatory developments regarding cannabis; (v) the expected development of OCG's and Cannabis One's business, projects and joint ventures and any of their customer brands; (vi) the execution of the Company and the Resulting Issuer's vision and growth strategy, including with respect to future merger and acquisition activity (including any currently identified acquisition targets) and global growth; (vii) expected demand growth for cannabis products; (viii) completion of OCG's and Cannabis One’s projects that are currently underway, in development or otherwise under consideration; (ix) renewal of OCG's and Cannabis One’s current customer, supplier and other material agreements; (x) future liquidity, working capital, and capital requirements; (xi) engaging in activities which currently are illegal under United States federal law and the uncertainty of existing protection from United States federal or other prosecution; (xii) regulatory or political change such as changes in applicable laws and regulations, including United States state-law legalization, particularly in Colorado, Nevada, Washington, California, and Oregon, due to inconsistent public opinion, perception of the cannabis industry, bureaucratic delays or inefficiencies or any other reasons; (xiii) any other factors or developments which may hinder market growth; (xiv) reliance on management; (xv) the effect of capital market conditions and other factors on capital availability; (xvi) competition, including from more established or better financed competitors; and (xvii) the need to secure and maintain corporate alliances and
The foregoing is not an exhaustive list of the risk factors affecting OCG, Cannabis One or the Resulting Issuer. For more information regarding Cannabis One and the Resulting Issuer, readers of this presentation are encouraged to review the risk factors discussed in Cannabis One’s Listing Statement filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com on February 25, 2019 and discussed in Cannabis One’s other public filings available on SEDAR. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and undue reliance should not be placed on them. Such forward-looking statements necessarily involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties which may be outside of OCG's and Cannabis One’s control, and which may cause actual performance and financial results in future periods to differ materially from any projections of future performance or result expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to risks associated with general economic conditions, adverse industry events, loss of markets, future legislative developments, access to capital, and other factors. Although forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are based upon what management of OCG and Cannabis One believes are reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurance that forward- looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Neither OCG nor Cannabis One undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or management’s estimates or opinions should change except as required by applicable securities laws. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Future-Oriented Financial Information: To the extent any forward-looking information in this presentation constitutes "future-oriented financial information" or "financial outlooks" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws, such information is being provided to demonstrate the anticipated market penetration and the reader is cautioned that this information may not be appropriate for any other purpose and the reader should not place undue reliance on such future-oriented financial information and financial outlooks. Future-oriented financial information and financial outlooks, as with forward-looking information generally, are, without limitation, based on the assumptions and subject to the risks set out above under the heading "Forward-Looking Information". The actual financial position and results of operations of the Company, Cannabis One
Resulting Issuer may differ materially from the prospective revenue and expenses profiles provided in this presentation. Such information is presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be an indication of the actual financial position or results of operations of the Company, Cannabis One or the Resulting Issuer. | 4
