VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jul 12, 2017) - Cannabis Wheaton Income Corp. CBW ("Cannabis Wheaton", "CW", or the "Company") would like to confirm that the Company's management is unaware of any material change in the Company's operations that would account for the recent significant share price depreciation, following the successful closing of $50.25 million in the first tranche of its financing.

The Company notes that approximately 90% of the securities issued under private placements completed respectively on March 10, 2017 and March 17, 2017, and qualified to trade without restriction as at July 10, 2017 and July 17, 2017, are subject to voluntary 12-month lockup and escrow agreements. Information to the contrary has been widely disseminated.

Chuck Rifici commented, "As a life-long entrepreneur I am always disappointed when people try to tear things down rather than build them. The success of Cannabis Wheaton has made the Company a target for the spread of a great deal of deliberate misinformation easily delivered in the digital age, and with an unacceptable impact on our supporters. We are focused on continuing to implement our vision and actively defending ourselves against elements wishing to destroy value for our shareholders and stakeholders across the country."

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD

Chuck Rifici, Chairman & CEO
