True Leaf Retains Hillcrest Merchant Partners
as its Canadian Capital Markets Advisor
VERNON, BC – March 7, 2019 – True Leaf
Medicine International Ltd. (“True Leaf” or the “Company”) (CSE: MJ) (OTCQX: TRLFF) (FSE: TLA), a leading
global cannabis and hemp wellness brand for pets, announced today that it has retained Hillcrest Merchant Partners, a respected

Co-founded by Donato Sferra and Mark Attanasio, Hillcrest Merchant

“2019 represents the year of high growth for True Leaf,”
said Darcy Bomford, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of True Leaf. “We are excited to be working with Hillcrest Merchant
Partners to reach our goals with capital markets. With their track record of success in the cannabis industry, we’re confident
that Hillcrest is the right partner to help us pierce the cannabis clutter as we work with them to secure capital and review potential
accretive acquisitions.”
The founders of Hillcrest Merchant Partners have worked with many
well-known cannabis brands, including Canopy Growth, Cronos Group, Khiron Life Sciences, Organigram, WeedMD, Emerald Health, and

formerly known as Dundee Capital Markets, where he led the firm’s cannabis investment banking team.
“True Leaf has all the ingredients of a strong brand: a unique
niche focus, an impressive leadership team, and a well-established global retail distribution network,” said Donato Sferra,
Managing Partner of Hillcrest Merchant Partners. “True Leaf sits at the intersection of two high growth industries –
cannabis and pets – and is one to watch based on my network and experience. There are many cannabis companies, but few are
like True Leaf.”
