TILT Provides Standard Farms with US$3M Loan for Processing Operations in Ohio

TILT Holdings Inc. (“TILT” or the “Company”) (CSE: TILT) (OTCQB: SVVTF),
a leading provider of products and services to businesses operating in
the cannabis industry, announced today that the Company’s wholly-owned
subsidiary, Baker Technologies, Inc. (“Baker Technologies”), has closed
a loan (the “Loan”) to Standard Farms Ohio LLC (“Standard Farms”) for up
to US$3,000,000, which will allow the companies to work together in the
rapidly growing Ohio medical marijuana market.

Standard Farms is constructing a state-of-the-art 10,000 sq. ft.
processing facility (the “Facility”) in Garfield Heights that will
utilize technologies and Standard Operating Procedures based on current
Good Manufacturing Practices. Currently, Standard Farms holds a
provisional processor permit for the Facility, which it expects to be
operational in late 2019, subject to, among other things, the receipt of
a certificate of operation (the “Certificate of Operation”) from the
State of Ohio Department of Commerce. Utilizing expertise honed at its
Pennsylvania operations, Standard Farms anticipates providing clean and
pure medical marijuana products including proprietary vaporization
cartridges, capsules and tinctures.

The Loan is split into two tranches. The first tranche of US$1,000,000
was funded on closing and the remaining US$2,000,000 will be funded in
late 2019 subject to, among other things, Standard Farms’ receipt of the
Certificate of Operation. The Loan is secured by substantially all
assets of Standard Farms except its license and any marijuana products.
The proceeds of the Loan will be distributed to the holders of all of
the membership interests in Standard Farms, Bio Alpha Venture LLC
(“BAV”), and Goldrath Alpha Venture LLC (“GAV”), wholly owned companies
of Jonathon Goldrath and Peter Bio, respectively. Subject to receipt of
applicable regulatory approvals and the terms and conditions provided in
the agreement, GAV’s and BAV’s ownership interests in Standard Farms may
be transferred to Baker Technologies in exchange for the cancellation
and conversion of the outstanding principal amount of the loan.

“Ohio is a large and rapidly growing cannabis market and we look forward
to increasing our exposure to the Buckeye state through this
relationship,” said Alex Coleman, Chairman and CEO of TILT.

Ohio is set to become one of the largest limited licenses states as the
seventh most populous state in the United States (“U.S.”), with nearly
12 million residents. As of this month, 24,556 patients and 1,489
caregivers have completed registrations to purchase cannabis, the state
reported. According to Arcview Market Research, the Ohio cannabis market
is expected to grow to an estimated $290 million by 2022. TILT is
actively pursuing similar lending relationships with other operators in
Ohio to ensure adequate supply and finished product are available to
patients across the state.

“Our mission at Standard Farms is to provide our patients with
compassionate care, with the goal of helping them reach a better quality
of life,” said Kyle Olcott, Director of Formulation and Extraction for
Standard Farms. “We are very pleased to partner with TILT to provide an
exceptional experience to Ohioans and deliver on this mission.”
