Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, in consideration for the SDC Parties releasing the Planet 13 Parties from claims relating to the Legal Actions and to avoid the further expense of litigation, the Company agreed to pay the SDC Parties a cash payment of US$300,000 in the aggregate (the "Cash Payment") and issue the SDC Parties an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of common stock in the capital of the Company (the "Settlement Shares"). The Cash Payment will be made and the Settlement Shares will be issued on the date that is 14 days from the date of signing of the Settlement Agreement. Based on the closing price of the Company's shares of common stock on the Canadian Securities Exchange of CAD$1.2000 and based on the Bank of Canada's CAD to USD exchange rate of US$1.00=CAD$1.3725, in each case as of November 14, 2023, the total settlement amount is approximately US$1,174,316.94. The Settlement Shares will be subject to resale restrictions under applicable U.S. and Canadian securities laws.

The Settlement Agreement is not considered an admission of the correctness of the claims advanced by either party, or of liability or responsibility by either party. All other terms of the Settlement Agreement are confidential.

The Settlement Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any state securities laws and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
