  • CSE: TGIF | OTCQX: TGIFF | 1933Industries.Com DISCLAIMER STATEMENTS
    CSE: TGIF | OTCQX: TGIFF | 1933industries.com DISCLAIMER STATEMENTS This presentation relates to an entity that is directly involved in the United States cannabis industry insofar as its business activities include the cultivation, production, manufacturing and distribution of cannabis and cannabis-related products where use of cannabis is legal for medical and/or adult use purposes, as applicable. While some states in the United States have authorized the use and sale of cannabis, it remains illegal under federal law and the approach to enforcement of U.S. federal laws against cannabis is subject to change. Because the Company engages in cannabis-related activities in the United States, it assumes certain risks due to conflicting state and federal laws. The federal law relating to cannabis could be enforced at any time and this would put the Company at risk of being prosecuted and having its assets seized. For these reasons, the Company’s investments in the United States cannabis market may subject the Company to heightened scrutiny by regulators, stock exchanges, clearing agencies and other U.S. and Canadian authorities. There can be no assurance that this heightened scrutiny will not in turn lead to the imposition of certain restrictions on the issuer’s ability to operate in the United States or any other jurisdiction. There are a number of risks associated with the business of the Company. CSE: TGIF | OTCQX: TGIFF | 1933industries.com 2 3 COMPANY OVERVIEW Branded Goods Company Model: 1933 Industries is a consumer-packaged goods Controlling the Supply Chain company with a portfolio of authentic, premium brands in the cannabis industry.
