EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Mercer Park Brand Acquisition Corp. (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) is a Canadian issuer eligible to file its registration statement pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on Form 40-F pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system of the Exchange Act. The Company is a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act. Equity securities of the Company are accordingly exempt from Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c), 14(f) and 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 3a12-3. This Amendment No.1 to Form 40-F is being filed in order to include as exhibits certain documents filed in Canada subsequent to the filing of our initial registration form on Form 40-F filed on March 19, 2021.

 

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The Exhibits incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement of the Registrant may contain “forward-looking information” or “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable securities laws (collectively referred to herein as “forward-looking statements”). These statements relate to future events or the Company’s future performance. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “continues”, “forecasts”, “projects”, “predicts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “believes”, or variations of, or the negatives of, such words and phrases, or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management’s beliefs with respect to future events and are based on information available to management as of the respective dates set forth in the Exhibits incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement, including reasonable assumptions, estimates, internal and external analysis and opinions of management considering its experience, perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments as well as other factors that management believed to be relevant as at the date such statements were made. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated or implied in such forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those described in the Registrant’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3.

 C: 

 

 

The Registrant and management caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Although the Registrant believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements were reasonable as of the time such forward-looking statements were made, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. The Registrant and management assume no obligation to update or revise them to reflect new events or circumstances except as required by applicable securities laws.

 

DIFFERENCES IN UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN REPORTING PRACTICES
