Exhibit 99.1
Sugarmade
Signs MOU to Acquire Three California Cannabis Licenses, Plans Large-Scale Nug Avenue Expansion in World's Premier Cannabis Market
NEW
YORK, June 10, 2021, (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - via NetworkWire - Sugarmade, Inc. (OTCMKTS:SGMD) ("Sugarmade", "SGMD",
or the "Company") today announces the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (the "MOU") to obtain three non-storefront
California Cannabis licenses from the Los Angeles Department of Cannabis Regulation (the "DCR"), along with corresponding
licenses from the California Bureau of Cannabis Control (the "BCC"), which collectively provide the licensing foundation
for the opening of three (3) new Nug Avenue cannabis delivery hubs in the Los Angeles metro area.
According
to the terms of the MOU, the Company will control a joint venture created with the initial holder of the social equity license as of
the closing date of the definitive agreement.
Each
of the three licenses can be used for three of the five categories of licensed cannabis-related business activities allowed under the
terms of these licenses: retail delivery, manufacturing, distribution, transport-only, and cultivation. The Company has determined it
will most likely use each license for a combination of 1) retail delivery of cannabis products, 2) supply chain distribution of cannabis
products, and 3) for manufacturing/packaging of cannabis products.
Together,
these licenses provide the licensing foundation for the opening of three (3) new Nug Avenue locations in the Los Angeles metropolitan
area. "Our first Nug Avenue location has been a tremendous success, but we need to expand due to overwhelming demand", commented
Jimmy Chan, CEO of Sugarmade. "Holding these licenses will provide an optimal solution to our current growth limitations".
Via
a definitive agreement closed on Feb. 8, 2021, the Company acquired a 70% stake in the Lynwood, California, operations of Nug Avenue,
allowing the Company to recognize 100% of revenue and 70% profits generated from Nug Avenue's Lynwood delivery service operations.
These terms will carry over to each new Nug Avenue location as the Company expands.
Chan
added, "By using these licenses to cover manufacturing, distribution, and delivery, we hope to further develop our fully-vertical
approach to the dynamic California cannabis delivery market. With this agreement, we gain the potential to manufacture and package our
own cannabis products, distribute them to multiple Nug Avenue locations, and then deliver them right to the front door of our loyal customer
base, driving both top-line and bottom-line growth potential as we expand our footprint in this rapidly growing space".
