Financing supports the evolution of the Company into a leading CBD Hemp player in North America

Dallas, Texas (November 18, 2019) – Freedom Leaf, Inc.  (“Freedom Leaf” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: FRLF), a first in class hemp consumer packaged goods company that recently acquired Green Lotus™ to build its position as a leading provider of natural cannabinoid-rich hemp products, announced today that it closed a $5 million convertible note financing led by an affiliate of Merida Capital. David Goldburg, Chairman of the Board, and Dave Vautrin, Independent Director, invested $125,000 and $67,000, respectively, in the convertible note financing. Proceeds from the financing will primarily support the Company’s production, marketing, and sales efforts as it continues to build its position as a leading CBD and hemp company servicing the North American and Mexican markets.

The financing is in the form of a unit consisting of a three-year senior unsecured note accruing interest at 8%, convertible at the holder’s option into the Company’s common stock at $.20 per share, and a three-year warrant to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock. A portion of the proceeds in the financing represent the cancellation of existing promissory notes held by affiliates of Merida Capital. For additional details, please reference the Form 8-K to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Carlos Frias, CEO and Board Member of Freedom Leaf, commented: “This financing will give the Company the necessary capital to fulfill a robust pipeline of new orders from our distribution partner in Mexico, CBD Life SA; Greenlane Holdings, a leading distributor of cannabis and CBD products in the U.S; and several other leading regional and national retailers who are increasingly looking to meet consumer demand with today’s highest quality CBD and hemp products.”

David Goldburg, Chairman of the Board of Freedom Leaf, added: “The acquisition of Green Lotus has positioned the Company to become a leading consumer packaged goods CBD and hemp player in North America. The conversion price of the convertible note, which is at a substantial premium to the current market price, reflects the high level of confidence Merida has in the ability of the Company to execute on its business plan.”

Freedom Leaf acquired Green Lotus™ on May 31, 2019, immediately enabling the launch of a more robust product line focused on leading CBD and hemp products, enhanced distribution capabilities and penetration into high-growth emerging markets worldwide.
