Canabo Medical Inc. Announces Closing of Brokered Financing by Aleafia Inc.

Halifax, Nova Scotia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 1, 2018) - Canabo Medical Inc. (TSXV: CMM) ("Canabo" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that further to its press release dated January 30, 2018 regarding its business combination (the "Proposed Transaction") with Aleafia Inc. ("Aleafia"), Aleafia has now closed its brokered private placement (the "Aleafia Private Placement") with Mackie Research Capital Corporation, as the lead agent and sole bookrunner, together with a syndicate of other registered investment dealers, including Canaccord Genuity Corp. Clarus Securities Inc. and PowerOne Capital Markets Limited (the "Agents"). The Aleafia Private Placement was over-subscribed and a total of 24,171,000 subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") were sold to raise gross proceeds for Aleafia of $30,213,750 at an offering price of $1.25 per Subscription Receipt. The Proposed Transaction will proceed by way of a three-cornered amalgamation between Aleafia and Canabo's Ontario subsidiary, 2412550 Ontario Inc. The combined listed entity of Aleafia and Canabo is referred to below as the "Resulting Issuer". The TSX Venture Exchange has conditionally approved the Proposed Transaction.

Following the completion of the Proposed Transaction, and the satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions, each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holders to receive, without the payment of additional consideration or the taking of further action, one (1) unit of the Resulting Issuer (the "Units"). Each Unit will consist of one (1) common share and one half (1/2) of a common share purchase warrant in the capital of the Resulting Issuer, as previously announced. Each whole warrant will be exercisable for one (1) common share of the Resulting Issuer at a price of $1.75 for 18 months following the date of listing of the Resulting Issuer's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Listing Date"). The gross proceeds from the Aleafia Private Placement, less any Agents' expenses incurred up to and including the Listing Date, have been deposited into escrow, pending completion of the proposed Transaction. If for any reason the Proposed Transaction does not close, then the gross proceeds will be refunded to the subscribers without penalty or deduction. Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, it is expected that the Resulting Issuer will meet the listing requirements of an Exchange Tier 1 life sciences issuer.

The Agents received a cash commission equal to 6.0% (reduced to 3.0% for subscribers on the President's List to a maximum of $5,000,000) and were issued compensation options (the "Compensation Options") to purchase 1,336,920 units of Aleafia (or Units of the Resulting Issuer, after the closing of the Proposed Transaction). Further details with respect to the Proposed Transaction and the Aleafia Private Placement, as well as a description of Aleafia and its business, is contained in Canabo's news release dated December 22, 2017.

The completion of the Proposed Transaction is expected to occur on the day that is the seventh business day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent or such other date as mutually agreed to by the Company and Aleafia, but in any event no later than March 30, 2018. Each of the Company and Aleafia will bear its own respective costs and expenses associated with the Proposed Transaction. Aleafia has called a shareholder meeting to take place at 7:00 p.m. (Toronto time) today, March 1, 2018, whereby shareholders of Aleafia will be asked to approve the Proposed Transaction.
