Newly Appointed President and CEO, Paul Chu, Provides Shareholders with Update on Acquisition Phase and Revenue Focus for 2019

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 28, 2018 / Mr. Paul Chu, President & Chief Executive Officer of Weekend Unlimited Inc. ("Weekend" or the "Company") (CSE: YOLO FSE: 0OS1) has issued an important letter to shareholders.

Dear Weekend Unlimited Inc. Shareholder,

It is a distinct pleasure to have the opportunity to communicate with you through this letter to share the company's milestones to date and provide you with insight regarding our plans for growth in 2019 as we operationalize the overall company with a clear focus on increasing shareholder value.

In terms of context, Weekend Unlimited is ideally positioned to benefit from the rapidly changing market environments in North America and globally. The passage of the Farm Bill in the United States on December 21st, 2018 represents a fundamental legislative change in direction for the US Federal Government that is anticipated to lead toward the overall rescheduling of cannabis from a Schedule 1 to a Schedule 2 substance in the future.

Today, the result of continued growth in legalized recreational and medicinal CBD and THC in products in Canada and in over 30 US states, combined with the US Federal shift and the significant investments from consumer-packaged goods, big alcohol, pharmaceutical and tobacco serve as an indication of tremendous upside in the industry. Recent market volatility has impacted many sectors, cannabis included, however, our focus has been to develop and run this company in order to create a product category that is recreationally focused with new product lines that are focused on wellness. Our singular drive is growing revenue in 2019.

Weekend Unlimited's has acquired and announced the intent to acquire brands in Jamaica, California, Washington State, Alberta and British Columbia. As a result the Company has established strong footholds in and around North America, with a significant existing product portfolio - and an even stronger one in development that harnesses the reach of our existing brands from beverages to candy to flower and beyond.

In 2019, the Company strategy is will be focused upon productization with Weekend's own THC and CBD brand. We will activate market share with a multi-channel build strategy. The initial phase will focus upon indirect sales channel, primarily national convenience chains and big box retailers. Our goal is to have brand presence in consumer-packaged goods in all 50 states. Our licensure growth story will focus on adding to our MSO (multi-state operations) strategy with direct ownership and/or joint ventures in new markets.
