C21 Investments Announces Revocation of MCTO

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 16, 2022) - C21 Investments Inc. (CSE: CXXI and OTCQX: CXXIF) ("C21" or the "Company"), a vertically integrated cannabis company, is pleased to announce that it has received an order from the British Columbia Securities Commission (the "BCSC") revoking the management cease trade order (the "MCTO") issued by the BCSC.

As previously announced on May 30, 2022, the Company applied for a MCTO from the BCSC due to an expected delay in filing of the audited consolidated financial statement for the year ended January 31, 2022, annual management's discussion and analysis for the same period and management certifications of annual filings (collectively, the "Annual Filings") beyond the deadline of May 31, 2022 prescribed by Canadian securities laws. The MCTO was granted by the BCSC on June 1, 2022. The MCTO prohibited the Company's management from trading in the securities of the Company during the duration of the MCTO.

As a result of the delay in filing the Annual Filings, the Company also announced on June 23, 2022 that the filing of its unaudited interim financial statements for the three-months ended April 30, 2022, the management's discussion and analysis for the same period and management certifications of interim filings (collectively, the "Interim Filings"), was expected to be delayed beyond the filing deadline of June 29, 2022.

The BCSC has revoked the MCTO as the Annual Filings and the Interim Filings were filed by the Company on August 15, 2022. Copies of the Annual Filings and the Interim Filings are available on the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
