Trichome Financial Corp. Provides Corporate Update

• Private placement to provide initial capital to deploy into growing pipeline of opportunities
• New name emphasizes company focus on flexible, alternative capital solutions to the cannabis industry
• Marc Lustig named Chairman of the Board of Directors

TORONTO, June 4, 2018 /CNW/ - CannaRoyalty Corp. (CSE: CRZ) (OTCQX: CNNRF) ("CannaRoyalty") today announces Trichome Yield Corp., a majority owned subsidiary of CannaRoyalty, has changed its name to Trichome Financial Corp. ("Trichome" or the "Company"), effective June 1, 2018. The new name better reflects the Company's strategic position as a flexible and responsive provider of capital solutions to the Canadian and international cannabis industry.

"The new name – Trichome Financial Corp. – reflects our emphasis as a value-added specialty finance company focused on the cannabis sector.  With few conventional or alternative capital sources targeting the industry, Trichome believes that there is a large, growing, and underserviced segment of the financing market," commented Michael Ruscetta, CEO of Trichome. "Along with our founders CannaRoyalty, Stoic Advisory, and Sprott, Trichome is uniquely positioned to provide added-value to our portfolio investments. With our recent investment in 180 Smoke and large pipeline of opportunities, the momentum around Trichome is building rapidly."

Trichome's board of directors is composed of professionals with proven investment, M&A and cannabis-industry experience:

• Michael Ruscetta – CEO of Trichome. Previously managed the RCM Special Situations Fund, served as Co-Head of Goldman Sachs' Canada Special Situations Group and Managing Director of Amaranth Advisors (Canada).
• Marc Lustig– Chief Executive Officer of CannaRoyalty. Marc has also been appointed as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Trichome.
• Afzal Hasan – President and General Counsel of CannaRoyalty.
• Dr. Jonathan Page – Co-founder of Anandia Labs and an Adjunct Professor in the Botany Department at The University of British Columbia.
• Marissa Lauder –Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary of Street Capital Group Inc. and Street Capital Bank of Canada.
• Brent Cox – Founding partner of The Inception Companies, a private investment vehicle focused on the global cannabis market. Currently serves on the board of successful vertically integrated U.S. cannabis company The Pharm and is a past board member of MedMen.
• Tim Diamond – CEO of Whitehall Apartments Corp. Over 20 years of experience in senior and board roles in the financial and lending industries.

Trichome also is pleased to announce that it is commencing a non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of up to $20,000,000 (the "Private Placement"). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement to deploy into loans to a variety of cannabis sector participants as well as for working capital purposes.
