"As part of our company's ongoing expansion initiatives, I am thrilled that we have identified two outstanding independent[RV1] directors in Jason Roth and Rich Turasky.

Jason Roth sits on the Board of Directors for Next Frontier Pharmaceuticals which owns an FDA- approved cannabinoid drug known as Syndros as well as Next Frontier Beverages based in London, England. Mr. Roth also is Chief Executive Officer of Ackrell SPAC I, which recently announced a $904 million merger with Blackstone Products. Previously, Mr. Roth was Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Mile High Labs Inc, which was one of the world's largest processors of cannabis.

Mr. Roth owns numerous patents in the medical device sector.

Rich Turasky has been in the investment and finance business for 30 years, investing with both private and institutional investors. He has been the managing partner in more than 100 partnerships.

The company has also concurrently entered into a binding memorandum of understanding with Flight Ventures for advisory and business development services.

It is expected that Flight Ventures will refer acquisition candidates to the Company and will assist the Company with management and oversight of the opportunities they refer if and when such opportunities are acquired. Flight Ventures will be reimbursed expenses for due diligence and will be paid an acquisition fee equivalent to 20% of the value of the acquired opportunity at closing, plus 5% of the net revenues of the opportunity for eighteen months following the closing date.
