The China Mail - 1933 Industries Provides Update on Status of Filing Delay for 4th Quarterly Report and Announces Management Changes

The Company's principal regulator, the British Columbia Securities Commission (the "Commission"), granted the MCTO on November 29, 2024, under National Policy 12-203 - Management Cease Trader Orders ("NP 12-203"). Pursuant to the MCTO, Paul Rosen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Brian Farrell, Chief Financial Officer, and Curtis Floyd, Director, may not trade in the securities of the Company until such time as the Company files the Audited Filings and the Commission revokes the MCTO. The MCTO does not affect the ability of shareholders to trade their securities. The Company's Board of Directors and management are continuing to work with its accounting team and other stakeholders to prepare the Audited Filings as soon as practicable and it is the Company's reasonable expectation that the Audited Filings will be finalized on or before January 27, 2025.

Until the Audited Filings are filed, the Company intends to comply with the provisions of the alternative information guidelines as set out in NP 12-203 for as long as it remains in default, including the issuance of bi-weekly default status reports in the form of a news release. The Company has imposed an insider trading blackout pending the filing of the Audited Filings.

The Company confirms that, since the date of the Announcement: (i) there has been no material change to the information set out in the Announcement that has not been generally disclosed; (ii) there has not been any other specified default by the Company under NP 12-203; (iii) the Company is not subject to any insolvency proceedings as of the date of this news release and (iv) there is no material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed.

In addition, the Company's Q1 2025 financial report, including financial statements, management discussion & analysis and applicable CEO and CFO certifications for the year ended Oct. 31, 2024, will not be filed until the Audited Filings are filed.

The Company also announces that the contract agreement with Mr. Paul Rosen, Chief Executive Officer, has ended in accordance with the terms specified within such agreement and that Mr. Rosen will resign as CEO, effective February 1st, 2025. Mr. Rosen will remain a member of the Board of Directors. Mr. Brian Farrell, who currently serves as the Company's CFO, and who has served on the Board of Directors since 2018, will assume the role of Interim CEO. Mr. Farrell stated, "Paul joined 1933 Industries in 2020 as Interim CEO at a time when the Company was undergoing major financial difficulties and dealing with the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. Under Paul's leadership, the Company survived the pandemic and the downturn in the cannabis industry by eliminating inefficiencies, restructuring debt, enhancing its senior management team, and reducing the labor force. As a result, the Company reached profitability for the first time in its history. The Company's in-house 'AMA' brand is currently one of the top selling brands in Nevada. The Company thanks Mr. Rosen for his many contributions over his tenure as CEO."
