High Hampton Enters into Binding Term Sheet to Acquire Well-Positioned California Cannabis Distribution Team

High Hampton Holdings Corp (CSE:HC) (“High Hampton” or the “Company”) today announced that it has entered into a binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) with 8 Points Management LLC (“8 Points”) and its subsidiary Bravo Distro (“Bravo”) to acquire 100% of all of the issued and outstanding shares of both 8 Points and Bravo as an all-share transaction (the “Acquisition”). Bravo is a fast-growing California cannabis distributor founded by the same team who served as the brainchild for one of the first companies in California to receive a permit for medical cannabis wholesale logistics, distribution and transportation.

The Acquisition will provide the following benefits:

• provide High Hampton with immediate access to a major distribution hub in West Sacramento;
• add a team of alcohol distribution veterans and cannabis industry experts to High Hampton’s portfolio; and
• lay the foundation for building out a prominent distribution network throughout California for High Hampton’s growing portfolio of future cannabis operations.

The Term Sheet stipulates the exchange of 100% of 8 Points’ issued and outstanding shares in exchange for 4,200,000 common shares of High Hampton (the “Share Exchange”) with the shares being subject to escrow and certain milestone conditions triggering a staggered share release within 24 months following the closing. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Term Sheet, High Hampton will also commit up to US$2,000,000 to 8 Points for past debt, product development, marketing, sales and working capital.

High Hampton and 8 Points expect to enter into a definitive agreement on or before June 6th, 2018 subject to a number of conditions, including, but not limited to,completion of the Share Exchange, approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”), approval of the High Hampton Board of Directors, as well as, completion of due diligence investigations to the satisfaction of each party, there being no material adverse change in the business of High Hampton or 8 Points prior to completion of the Acquisition and other customary closing conditions.

David E. Argudo, CEO of High Hampton, commented:

“Securing distribution is a crucial if not the most important component of a successful business model for the Californiacannabis market. In 8 Points Management we have found a well-positioned operator that offers a full-service distribution model for our industry that will help us establish access to major distribution hubs in strategic locations throughout California including a prominent location in West Sacramento. Their team is renowned for already starting and operating another highly successful cannabis distribution outlet, and together, we are poised to succeed in building a leading cannabis distributor in California.”

Wes Miyake, Vice President of 8 Points, added:

“We are incredibly excited to begin our partnership with High Hampton. The legal cannabis space is a relatively new venture for everybody, and we could not ask for more professional partners who share our exact vision. An organized and accountable distribution company is a necessary factor in the successful future of bringing cannabis products to a global marketplace, for both medical patients and recreational customers. We feel our experienced and versatile executive team at Bravo is perfectly complemented with the creative and leadership group at High Hampton, and we look forward to continuing our journey together.”
