HempFusion Announces Inclusion in Leading Cannabis ETFs

HempFusion Wellness Inc. ( TSX:CBD.U ) ( FWB:8OO ) (" HempFusion " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce that it has been included in two leading cannabis & hemp-derived CBD focused exchange-traded funds (" ETFs "), AdvisorShares Pure US Cannabis ETF ( NYSE:MSOS ) and AdvisorShares Pure Cannabis ETF ( NYSE:YOLO ).

AdvisorShares is a leading sponsor of actively managed ETFs. Pure US Cannabis ETF (MSOS) is the only US-listed ETF dedicated solely to US cannabis exposure, with over US$616,000,000 in assets under management (" AUM "). Pure Cannabis ETF (YOLO) was the first US-based actively managed ETF focused on the global cannabis industry. YOLO and MSOS endeavor to achieve long-term capital growth by investing in some of the largest foreign and domestic cannabis and hemp-derived CBD companies. The two AdvisorShares ETFs have a combined AUM of over US$880,000,000 as of January 22, 2021.

"We are pleased the AdvisorShares ETFs have initiated positions in our Company. This represents a strong milestone for the Company and provides us added exposure to the investment community," commented Jason Mitchell, N.D., HempFusion's co-founder and CEO. "Inclusion in these ETFs brings additional exposure to potential new investors as well as generates value for existing shareholders. With our listing on the TSX, current market capitalization, and liquidity, we believe we now meet many cannabis-related ETFs' inclusion requirements, and we look forward to other potential ETFs' initiating positions."
