EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE AN AMENDMENT
TO THE COMPANY’S ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 PURSUANT TO SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION ORDER RELEASE NO. 34-88465 / MARCH 25, 2020 UNDER SECTION 36 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 MODIFYING EXEMPTIONS
FROM THE REPORTING AND PROXY DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS FOR PUBLIC COMPANIES AS RELIEF PROVIDED TO REGISTRANTS OR OTHER PERSONS IMPACTED
BY COVID-19 FROM MARCH 1, 2020 TO JULY 1, 2020.
1. Medicine Man Technologies, Inc. (the
“Company” and currently doing business as Schwazze) is relying on the Order (Release No. 34-88465) for the extension
of up to 45 days after the normal filing deadline of April 29, 2020 for an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Annual Report”).
2. The Company is not in a position to
file the Amendment to the Annual Report providing the information required by Part III of the Form 10-K in a timely manner (by
the April 29, 2020 due date) as a result of shelter-in-place measures and other travel restrictions imposed by state and municipalities
due to the ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
3. Although the Company is relying on,
and may ultimately require the full 45 days of relief, which may be necessary if the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impose additional
burdens and delays on key personnel, it is anticipated that the Amendment will be filed on or before June 14, 2020
4. We encourage shareholders to read the Risk Factors disclosed
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March
30, 2020, including the risk factor describing the risk that the Company is susceptible to catastrophic events such as the COVID-19
pandemic.
