The Company's Senior VP of Corporate Finance Christian Scovenna also did not stand for re-election to the board and will focus on his position within High Hampton's executive management.

Cam Birge, independent director of the board, commented:

"We are truly grateful to both Richard Polanco and Christian Scovenna for their contributions to our board, and we welcome our new members Gary Latham and AJ Gentile as they embark on their new roles. I believe we have assembled an exceptional group to oversee the Company, and I look forward to working with our established and new members. Having AJ Gentile, the CEO of 2083 Group, come on board signifies the importance of the impending partnership between our two companies, and we expect to bring the proposed transaction of taking a minority stake in 2083 Group to a successful close very soon." (see February 28 press release)

I wish him all the best for his future as an instrumental figure in the cannabis industry."

"The cannabis sector is ever-changing, and High Hampton has certainly been one of the early players in the legal recreational cannabis space in California. I have been committed to remaining a Director in the company until I believed the company to be solidly on track and managed by a strong and focused team.  Gary and the board have succeeded in building a very knowledgeable and experienced team and are well positioned with a promising strategy for aggressive development."
