FIRST HARVEST CORP
AND CANNAVOICES, INC. ANNOUNCE COMPLETION OF SHARE EXCHANGE TRANSACTION
Tampa. Florida - February 10, 2017
-
First Harvest Corp. (OTC:HVST) (the "Company" or "First Harvest") announced today that it has entered into
and closed an agreement and plan of merger and reorganization with CV Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
and Cannavoices, Inc. ("Cannavoices"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, effective on the closing date, CV Acquisition
Corp. merged with and into Cannavoices, such that Cannavoices, the surviving corporation, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of First
Harvest.
Cannavoices Business Overview:
Cannavoices
is a platform for technology, media and gaming with a focus on the cannabis industry and emerging growth sectors. Cannavoices
plans to generate revenue primarily through in-app sales of virtual goods, affiliate ecommerce sales promoted by celebrities highlighted
on its platform, and through advertising services.
The ecosystem spans mobile gaming, digital
and social media, ecommerce sales and education. Cannavoices is developing a digital media services platform (the "Platform")
as a way for niche cannabis-related companies, as well as mainstream advertisers, to reach a pro-cannabis audience. The Platform
addresses the communication challenge between pro-legalization supporters of medical and recreational cannabis and advertisers
that want to reach this growing demographic.
To reach the pro-cannabis target audience,
the Platform currently consists of two elements:
Hemp Inc.
- A mobile gaming app
known as
Hemp Inc.
(the "Game") is a business strategy, role-playing game providing the user the experience
of growing and dispensing cannabis in a virtual environment. It is a strategy-based game that mimics the real life cannabis culture
and serves as a platform for advertising and ecommerce sales. This unique, entrepreneurial game is similar in format to a
FarmVille®
or
Clash Royale
tm
type game for mobile gamers to develop, grow and dispense virtual cannabis and
interact with celebrities and advertisers' "brands" within the game. The celebrities participate as avatars,
which ties to the Game's revenue model.
Future updates are planned for the "Augmented
Reality" and "Virtual Reality" markets and technology. This will allow for players to engage one another in a
AR/VR styled world and imagine themselves growing, buying, selling, building and incorporating real world dispensaries and delivery
partners as well.
The development team for the Game is led by
Danny Hammett, the former Executive Vice President at Activision. Mr. Hammett was responsible for their intellectual
property development and product launches, including creation of such iconic games as -
Call of Duty
,
Big Game Hunter
,
Tony Hawk
,
Spiderman
and
Toy Story
. He has put together a team of developers with experience at such gaming
and technology companies as Activision, Sega, MiniClip and DropBox.
The Game is currently available for download
on iTunes and is expected to be available on the Google Play Store in the first quarter of 2017. It is a sales platform that uses
a viral marketing strategy to take advantage of the social media reach of the celebrities in the Game and the popularity of the
cannabis legalization movement. This allows the Game to build its user base with a low acquisition cost.

A member-based social media platform for subscribers to participate in an open forum with other pro-cannabis supporters in an
interactive social media platform.
Within this one platform, members share cannabis-related
news, events, culture, technology, business insights, and inspiration while networking with like-minded individuals. Each member
builds a unique personal profile by sharing and documenting his individual voice and journey into realizing the benefits of cannabis.
Cannavoices also intends to publish, through this platform, a quarterly on-line magazine with content designed using an elegant,
enlightened theme to promote more social acceptance of cannabis. We believe this model has a broad appeal to cannabis-affinity
groups and will be an advertising revenue model.
Kevin Gillespie, President and Chief Executive
Officer of First Harvest said, "This is an important corporate milestone for our Company. We believe combining
three of the fastest growing business sectors - cannabis, social media and mobile gaming, along with our world-class development
team led by the former Executive Vice President of Activision, together with our promotional celebrities and entities, and our
Platform, can become a premiere advertising medium in the cannabis industry".
