INDUS HOLDINGS, INC. LISTING STATEMENT CSE FORM 2A APRIL 23, 2019 INDUS HOLDING COMPANY FORM 2A – LISTING STATEMENT Page 1 The Resulting Issuer (as defined herein) is an entity that derives all of its revenues from the cannabis industry in certain U.S. states, which industry is illegal under U.S. federal law. The Resulting Issuer is directly involved in the cannabis industry through the production, cultivation, distribution and sale of medical and adult-use cannabis in the State of California, which has regulated such activity. The cultivation, sale and use of cannabis is illegal under federal law pursuant to the U.S. Controlled Substances Act of 1970 (the “Controlled Substances Act”). Under the Controlled Substances Act, the policies and regulations of the United States Federal Government and its agencies are that cannabis has no medical benefit and a range of activities including cultivation and the personal use of cannabis is prohibited. Even in those states in which the use of marijuana has been legalized, its use, cultivation, sale and distribution remains a violation of federal law. The Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution establishes that the United States Constitution and federal laws made pursuant to it are paramount and in case of conflict between federal and state law, the federal law shall apply. Any person connected to the marijuana industry in the U.S. may be at risk of federal criminal prosecution and civil liability in the United States. Any investments may be subject to civil or criminal forfeiture and total loss. Since federal law criminalizing the use of marijuana is not pre-empted by state laws that legalize its use, strict enforcement of federal law regarding marijuana would harm the Resulting Issuer’s business, prospects, results of operation, and financial condition.
