About Hempleton Investment Group, Inc.

Hempleton Investment Group, Inc. owns and operates six subsidiaries:

1. The Hemp Farmacy ("THF"), is the first CBD dispensary in the state of NC to provide legal access to hemp dietary supplements and hemp-based products both in-store and online. Since 2016, THF has expanded to eight store locations and counting with its' franchising package to be released in early 2019. THF carries an expansive line of US-produced and US- grown legal cannabis products. Products are researched, reviewed, and tested by THF's knowledgeable staff before being sold in addition to being tested by a third-party lab. THF offers hemp extracts in all forms—tinctures, topicals, edibles, flowers, dabs, and more. With batch lab results for each product line, THF offers safe, easy access to hemp products for all to enjoy a more natural healing lifestyle. The Hemp Farmacy is part of Hempleton's network of locally managed farms and industry leaders. They strive to bring customers top quality, fresh product, that is often sourced within a few hours of where the products are sold.

2. East Coast Genetics, LLC ("ECG") is a large-scale hemp genetics company dedicated to providing licensed hemp growers with superior quality, high-CBD strains. Founded in 2016, ECG obtained the sole distribution rights on the Eastern US seaboard for the trademarked Cherry Wine strain. ECG's genetics team has since isolated the top-performing Cherry Wine phenotypes. Additionally, new high-performing strains, including Sweetened & Franklin Otto, BaOx, and T1, have been added to ECG's genetics library. Each strain undergoes variety trials at both their indoor facility and outdoors at The NC Hemp Farm Research & Innovation Campus located in Wallace, NC. All strains are evaluated on plant structure, cannabinoid content, flowering cycles, and pest resistance. ECG believes that providing research-backed genetics sets them apart from the competition. Together with their network of distributors in NC and VA, ECG prides themselves on providing organically grown, reliable strains guaranteed to ensure the grower the highest CBD yields with natural resistance to pests and mold.

3. The NC Hemp Farm Research and Innovation Campus was originally built as an agritourism farm. With the introduction of hemp into the NC landscape in 2016, Hempleton transitioned the property into an education space for newly licensed hemp farmers. The farm is now the primary grow site for Hempleton and its' partners to try new genetics, planting styles, fertilizer regiments, and products. The information generated from the research campus is shared with farmers throughout NC, so others may learn from the research conducted by HIG. The research campus holds public events and demonstrates hemp trials on the farm. This campus is used to help educate farmers throughout the state about hemp, as well as how to incorporate hemp into their farms. With three primary categories of hemp including grain/seed, fiber, and high-CBD varieties, farmers can ask questions and see what category fits their farm operations.

4. New River Distilling Company ("NRD") is Hempleton's most recent partnership and the final piece in creating vertical integration within HIG. New River Distilling Co. founders, Daniel Meehan and Kiever Hunter, use a specialized extraction to isolate terpenes from hops, allowing brewers to create a more flavorful beer with less waste. Their proprietary method will now be used to extract various terpenes and cannabinoids from hemp provided by Hempleton. These terpene extractions are available to brewers and enable the addition of hemp's flavor and scent profiles to beer. This partnership marks the entrance of hemp extracts into the beverage industry and offers a new avenue for farmers to sell their crops. New River Distilling Co. additionally offers extraction of other botanicals (like citrus) to create specialized terpene formulations as well as toll charging extraction services for other hemp companies and farmers.

5. Hope Hemp Extracts is the premier product line at each of 8 Hemp Farmacy locations. The brand was conceptualized to support the local farming industry in NC and launched its first subsidiary, "Carolina's Hope," in 2016. Since then, "Tennessee's Hope" and "Arizona's Hope" have launched, each supported by the respective state's local hemp farmers. With plans for expansion into New Jersey and Florida, Hope Hemp Extracts is poised to be national leader in the hemp industry.

6. Hempleton's medical partner, Integrated Hemp Solutions ("IHS"), takes a unique approach to the clinical research, product development and sales of cannabidiol (CBD). The company's hemp-derived CBD products are clinically tested and trusted by doctors and patients to treat a growing list of conditions, providing a safe alternative to dangerously addictive opioids. Working with its partners at Integrated Pain Solutions, IHS treats thousands of patients using CBD therapy and tracks their progress on a regular basis. IHS provides a safe, convenient and informative way for patients to better understand their treatment options and procure the proper CBD therapy for their specific conditions.
