All Figures Are Stated in United States Dollars ($) Unless Otherwise Indicated

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / November 27, 2020 /Planet 13 Holdings Inc. (CSE:PLTH)(OTCQB:PLNHF)("Planet 13" or the "Company"), a leading vertically-integrated Nevada cannabis company,announced today the close (the "Second Closing") of the purchase of cultivation and processing licenses (collectively, the "Licenses") and assumption of the lease for the 45,000 sq. ft. cultivation facility in Las Vegas, Nevada (the "Facility") from West Coast Development Nevada, LLC ("WCDN"), previously announced on July 17, 2020. The Second Closing was pending required state and local regulatory approvals for the transfer of the Licenses to the Company and the Company obtaining a business license from unincorporated Clark County, Nevada.

"We are pleased to officially take control of this 45,000 sq. ft. premium indoor cultivation facility. We've been managing the facility since the first closing on July 17^th and are thrilled with the quality of the facility," said Bob Groesbeck Co-CEO of Planet 13. "Shortly after the first closing we started to implement our own best practices and plant our premium and highly sought after Medizin strains. Our Medizin strains have long been a fan favorite for local residents and this transaction lets us expand supply for our Las Vegas SuperStore and our newly opened Medizin dispensary."

Planet 13 paid $1.156 million for the cannabis inventory, and $3 million for the operating assets, Licenses, equipment and tenant improvements which payment is comprised of $0.5 million in cash and $2.5 million of common shares in the capital of Planet 13 (the "Consideration Shares"), resulting in the previous issuance by the Company of 1,374,833 Consideration Shares. The acquisition of the cannabis inventory, operating assets, equipment and tenant improvements occurred on July 17, 2020 and the acquisition of the Licenses occurred on the Second Closing. The Consideration Shares, which were held in escrow until completion of the Second Closing, have now been released to WCDN.

Concurrent with the completion of the Second Closing, WCDN assigned to Planet 13's subsidiary MM Development Company, Inc. ("MMDC") the benefits and obligations of WCDN, as tenant, under a lease agreement (the "Lease") with RX Land, LLC ("RX Land"), as landlord, in respect of the Facility (the "Lease Transaction"). RX Land is owned by Planet 13's co-CEOs Robert Groesbeck and Larry Scheffler. As such, the Lease Transaction constitutes a related party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions("MI 61-101") but is otherwise exempt from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101. As previously announced, the related-party Lease Transaction has been reviewed and approved by the independent directors of the Company.

The Facility, located at 4801 West Bell Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada 89118, contains approximately 41,130 square feet of warehouse space and approximately 2,400 square feet of office space. The warehouse space and office space house the tenant improvements owned by MMDC, including indoor cultivation rooms and a production facility which are permitted for special-use, cannabis operations by Clark County, Nevada, and is the location designated for the MMDC-held Licenses, and the MMDC-held Clark County business license permitting the ongoing operations at the Facility.

After the assumption of the Lease, it is intended that the Lease will be amended with independent director approval, the details of which will be available in the Lease and amendment to the Lease to be filed and available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
