Nutritional High International Inc. (CSE: EAT) ("Nutritional High" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that today it has entered into a definitive agreement (the "Agreement") to acquire the business of OutCo Labs Inc. ("OutCo") previously announced on January 29, 2021 ("Agreement").

Based in San Diego, California, OutCo is a leader in the cannabis industry, specializing in manufacturing and retailing premium quality cannabis flower, high margin extract products, award-winning vape cartridges, tinctures, topicals, capsules and flower products. OutCo's unique extraction methods have consistently produced the highest quality oils found in the space. OutCo has also recently developed a water-soluble technology that promises a new series of product offerings for all its in-house brands.

OutCo operates two licensed dispensaries located in unincorporated San Diego County California as well as a 15,000 sq. ft. vertically-integrated cultivation, extraction and product manufacturing facility situated in El Cajon, California. OutCo also owns and operates an outdoor cultivation operation and clone nursery in Mendocino County.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and subject to the closing of the transaction, Lincoln Fish, OutCo's CEO, will join the Board of the Company and continue to lead the OutCo team.

Mr. Fish commented, "We couldn't be more excited to join the next generation of Nutritional High. The management team shares OutCo's philosophy of relentless commitment to innovation and quality. By combining OutCo's California business with Nutritional High assets in Colorado and Oregon, we expect to extend our brand, strengthen our management team and provide a platform for product development. OutCo has always been a leader in its own corner of the world. This merger allows us to be part of something much larger. Today is a new beginning for Outco and a new opportunity to put a much larger stamp on the cannabis community."

John Durfy, CEO of Nutritional High, commented, "I'm excited to finally enter into the definitive Agreement and welcome the OutCo team aboard. We see big opportunities in the Southern California market and with expected regulatory changes that could allow recreational sales and edibles manufacturing. Additionally, upcoming changes in Mendocino County are expected to allow for expansion of the cultivation licence being acquired as part of the transaction."

Mr. Durfy continued, "The OutCo acquisition, combined with the recent purchase of Palo Verde in Colorado, and the re-start of our operation in La Pine Oregon, represents Nutritional High's successful evolution from restructuring to growth. We expect further growth through acquisition opportunities in Northern California and Colorado. At our upcoming shareholder meeting, we will be seeking approval to change our name to better reflect what our new company represents. Finally, we will be launching a new high-end brand in Oregon and Colorado for both vape cartridges and edibles that we expect will hit the market this summer."
