Medcolcanna Organics Inc. Announces Corporate Update

Bogotá, Colombia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 3, 2022) - Medcolcanna Organics Inc. (CSE: MCCN) ("Medcolcanna", "MCCN" or the "Company"), a leading Canadian and globally integrated medicinal cannabis company with operations in Colombia, announced today that its audited financial report, CEO and CFO certifications, and management discussion & analysis (the "Annual Filings") for the year ended December 31, 2021 were not released as scheduled on or about May 2, 2022. It is now anticipated that the release will occur on or about June 15, 2022.

The Company is late in the preparation of the Annual Filings due to financial difficulties that it has been experiencing as it tries to restructure the Company and move towards financial self-sustainability and generating revenue through the export of dried flower to various international jurisdictions following recent legislative changes in Colombia. The Company only recently made arrangements to obtain the necessary financing to pay for the costs associated with the audit and the payment of its staff to allow for the preparation of such financial statements. The preparation and review of the Annual Filings is expected to be commenced in the very near future but will not be completed in time to meet the filing deadline.

As a result of the delay, the Company has voluntarily requested that the Securities Commissions in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario issue a temporary order that prohibits certain current directors, officers and insiders of Groundstar from trading in securities of the Company for so long as the Annual Filings are not filed and has been granted such order as of May 3, 2022. The issuance of such management cease trade order does not affect the ability of persons who are not directors, officers or insiders of the issuer to trade in their securities. The Company intends to provide updates in accordance with National Policy 12-203 - Management Cease Trade Orders with respect to further developments in respect of this matter promptly following their occurrence, including the issuance of bi-weekly status update reports until such time as the Annual Filings are completed.

Further, the Company announces that it has recently received the resignation from Pablo Abba Vieira as a member of the Board of Directors. Mr. Vieira has resigned from the Company for personal reasons. The Board of Directors of the Company thanks Mr. Vieira for his contributions to the Company and wishes him well in his future endeavours.
