The lawsuit alleges: Cronos Group, Inc. made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1)
the size of Cronos’ distribution agreements with the Canadian provinces was relatively small; and (2) as a result of the foregoing,
Defendants’ positive statements about Cronos’ business, operations, and prospects were materially false and/or misleading, and/or

On August 30, 2018, Citron Research published an article entitled “Cronos: The Dark Side of Cannabis Space,” alleging, among
other things, that the Company has been “deceiving the investing public by purposely not disclosing the size of its distribution
agreements with provinces – unlike every other major cannabis player” and that this was because “the agreements are so small that
they could never justify the premium investors are paying for the stock.” On this news, Cronos’ share price fell over 28%, to close
at $9.12 per share on August 30, 2018.
