Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, the company, which recently opened its 13th RISE dispensary, has licenses for 50 retail

thousands of patients and customers each year. Revenue in 2017 exceeded US$20 million, with the company on track for continued
growth in 2018.
Ben Kovler, Founder and Chairman, stated: "Listing on the CSE provides access to capital to fuel the company's strategic
growth. But it doesn't change our focus on capital allocation and execution to optimize shareholder value. We will continue to move
the business forward while providing the best possible customer experience."
Pete Kadens, CEO, added: "The opportunity to touch the lives of more customers through expanding our brand distribution
footprint and the RISE retail experience is extremely rewarding. We have the right infrastructure and people in place -- and we
will work to maximize GTI's potential for the shareholders who've entrusted us with their capital."
