• NASDAQ Capital Market listing expected in Q1 2021 under ticker symbol IMCC

TORONTO, ON and GLIL YAM, ISRAEL / ACCESSWIRE / February 10, 2021 / IM Cannabis Corp. (the "Company" or "IMC") (CSE:IMCC), a multi-country operator ("MCO") in the medical cannabis sector with operations in Israel and Germany, is pleased to announce that, further to its press release dated December 17, 2020, it will be consolidating all of its issued and outstanding common shares ("Common Shares") on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation Common Share for each four (4) pre-consolidation Common Shares (the "Share Consolidation"). The Share Consolidation represents another step towards the listing of the Common Shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market ("NASDAQ") by meeting the minimum share price requirement set by NASDAQ and follows confirmation from The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") that its Common Shares are now eligible for electronic clearing and settlement through DTC in the United States, as announced on January 26, 2021.

"We believe our efforts to finalize listing on NASDAQ are on track, and the timing is opportune," said Oren Shuster, Chief Executive Officer of IMC. "In light of positive developments for the medical cannabis industry around the world and the anticipated closing of the Trichome Financial Corp. ("Trichome") acquisition by IMC in the coming months, we look forward to bringing our strategy forward in one of the largest capital markets in the world."

A successful listing on NASDAQ is subject to satisfaction of all applicable listing and regulatory requirements, including, but not limited to, registration of the Common Shares with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and satisfaction of the NASDAQ listing requirements. Following receipt of all required approvals, the Company will issue a press release announcing its first trading date on NASDAQ.

Share Consolidation Details

The Company's board of directors approved the Share Consolidation and it is expected that the Common Shares will commence trading on a post-Share Consolidation basis on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") on or about February 12, 2021.

Assuming the Share Consolidation is completed, the existing 160,245,457 Common Shares will be reduced to approximately 40,061,364 Common Shares, subject to adjustments for rounding purposes. No fractional shares will be issued. Any fractional interest in Common Shares that is less than 0.5 of a Common Share resulting from the Share Consolidation will be rounded down to the nearest whole Common Share and any fractional interest in Common Shares that is 0.5 or greater of a Common Share will be rounded up to the nearest whole Common Share.

There are currently 9,729,258 common share purchase warrants ("Warrants") listed for trading on the CSE, each exercisable at $1.30 per Warrant for one Common Share. Following the Share Consolidation, the number of listed Warrants outstanding will not be altered; however, the exercise terms will be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the warrant indenture dated August 30, 2019, as supplemented on November 14, 2019, such that four Warrants will be exercisable for one Common Share following the payment of an adjusted exercise price of $5.20.

The Share Consolidation was approved by holders of Common Shares at the Company's special meeting held on December 16, 2020. The Share Consolidation is subject to acceptance by the CSE.

Upon completion of the Share Consolidation, a letter of transmittal will be sent by mail to registered shareholders advising that the Share Consolidation has taken effect. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions on how registered shareholders can exchange their share certificates or Direct Registration System ("DRS") statements evidencing their pre-consolidation Common Shares for new share certificates or new DRS statements representing the number of post-consolidation Common Shares to which they are entitled.

Beneficial shareholders holding their Common Shares through an intermediary may be subject to different procedures for obtaining their post-consolidation Shares. If you have questions in this regard, you are encouraged to contact your intermediary.

The Company does not intend to change its name or seek a new stock trading symbol in connection with the Share Consolidation.

Change in Supply Agreement

On April 27, 2020, IMC announced that Focus Medical Herbs Ltd. ("Focus Medical") signed a supply agreement to purchase up to a total of 8,060 kg of medical cannabis between 2020 and 2023 (the "Supply Agreement").
