Arizona Tribune - Zoned Properties Announces Entry into Definitive Agreements for Sale of 100% of Company Assets and Operations, Positioning for Significant Shareholder Value Return

Transaction Highlights:

• The Company has formed a Special Transactions Committee consisting of its three independent directors that has negotiated and overseen the transactions on behalf of shareholders.

• The definitive agreements include (i) a short-term exclusive option for the sale of the Chino Valley, Green Valley, and Kingman properties in Arizona (the "CGK Properties Option") for $9 million; and (ii) an asset purchase agreement with Zoned Properties' management team for a management buyout of all remaining assets and operations (the "MBO APA") for $7 million.

• The definitive agreements contemplate the sale and liquidation of 100% of the Company's assets and operations for a gross sale price of $16 million. Additionally, if the CGK Properties Option is not exercised by the optionee, then Zoned Properties' management team has agreed to include those properties in the MBO APA at the same valuation.

• The Special Transactions Committee plans to engage a third party expert to complete a fairness opinion related to the MBO APA.

• The MBO APA is subject to shareholder approval. The Company expects to hold a shareholder meeting to approve the MBO APA in the coming months.

• Assuming that the MBO APA is approved by shareholders, the sale and liquidation of the Company's assets and operations is expected to take place by the end of the calendar year.

• Assuming that the MBO APA is approved by shareholders and the Company can successfully sell and liquidate 100% of the Company's assets and operations, the Company expects to pay off any remaining debt, settle any remaining accounts and agreements, liquidate the Company's outstanding preferred shares, and then distribute the net available balance of cash to shareholders as a return of capital through a special dividend.

• Assuming that the MBO APA is approved by shareholders and the Company can successfully sell and liquidate 100% of the Company's assets and operations, the Board of Directors intends to subsequently complete a reverse merger or other transaction involving the public company.

Management Commentary:

"Over the past decade, Zoned Properties has worked to pioneer real estate services and development in the emerging and regulated cannabis industry," said Bryan McLaren, Chief Executive Officer of Zoned Properties. "While we have built a strong organization that has surpassed many milestones, the challenges of operating as a public company in the cannabis space have limited our ability to deliver direct value to our shareholders. We believe that liquidating the Company's assets and operations and returning substantial capital to shareholders through a special dividend represents the optimal path forward to reward our loyal investors."

"Following an exhaustive review of the Company's strategic alternatives in a challenging industry environment, the Special Transactions Committee has concluded that the planned liquidation of the Company's assets and operations is in the best interests of the Company's shareholders and will maximize shareholder value," said Cole Stevens, Independent Director and Chair of the Special Transactions Committee of Zoned Properties. "We are confident that these transactions will deliver the greatest possible value to shareholders, compared to any other available option."
