NOTICE TO RECIPIENT

This presentation (the “Presentation”) of The Valens Company Inc. (the “Company” or “The Valens Company” or “Valens”) is an overview only and does not contain all the
information that a prospective investor may require to make investment decisions. This Presentation is for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer to
sell or a solicitation to buy any securities of the Company. In making an investment decision, investors must rely on their own examination of the Company, including the
merits and risks involved. This presentation is confidential and contains confidential information and distribution of this presentation may also be restricted or prohibited
by law. Recipients are required to inform themselves of, and comply with, all such restrictions or prohibitions.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Presentation contains forward-looking statements and forward-looking information (collectively, “forward-looking statements”) within the meaning of applicable
Canadian securities laws. Any statements that involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or
future events or performance (often but not always using phrases such as "expects", "is expected", "anticipates", "plans", "budget", "scheduled", "forecasts",
"estimates", "believes" or "intends", or variations of such words and phrases (including negative and grammatical variations), or stating that certain actions, events or
results "may", "could", "would", "should", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements and
are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

By their nature, forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the
actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, or developments in the Company’s industry, to be materially different from any future results, performance
or achievements, or industry developments, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements and information. These risks are described in the Company’s latest
Annual Information Form for the year ended November 30, 2019 and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Company for the three and nine month period ended
August 31, 2020 (the “MD&A”), each as filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Examples of forward-looking statements
include, without limitation: (A) financial forecasts of the Company; (B) the intention to grow the business and operations of the Company; (C) anticipated timing for the
availability of the Company’s products to market and expected sale prices; (D) expected growth in the number of users of medical and recreational marijuana anticipated
in various regional and international markets; and (E) the expansion of the Company’s business into other revenue streams. Actual results and developments are likely to
differ, and may differ materially, from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this Presentation.

Such forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions which may prove to be incorrect, including, but not limited to: expectations regarding the ability
of the Company to raise capital and grow through acquisitions; growth strategy, joint venture and other commercial opportunities, including cannabis-related legal
reform and regulatory changes with respect to the U.S. and other international markets, and the ability of the Company to capitalize on these opportunities through its
stated work program; and expected sources and uses of capital. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results
and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements and information contained in this Presentation are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. The forward-looking
statements and information included in this Presentation are made as of the date of this Presentation and the Company assumes no obligation to update such forward-
looking statements to reflect new information, subsequent events or otherwise unless required by applicable securities legislation.

Historical statements contained in this Presentation regarding past trends or activities should not be taken as a representation that such trends or activities will continue
in the future. In this regard, certain financial information contained herein has been extracted from, or based upon, information available in the public domain and/or
provided by the Company. In particular, historical results of the Company should not be taken as a representation that such trends will be replicated in the future. No

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FUTURE-ORIENTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To the extent any forward-looking statement in this Presentation constitutes “future-oriented financial information” or “financial outlooks” within the meaning of
applicable Canadian securities laws, such information is being provided to demonstrate the anticipated market penetration and the reader is cautioned that this
information may not be appropriate for any other purpose and the reader should not place undue reliance on such future-oriented financial information and financial
outlooks. Future-oriented financial information and financial outlooks, as with forward-looking statements generally, are, without limitation, based on the assumptions
and subject to risks as set out above under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements”. The Company’s actual financial position and results of operations may differ
materially from management’s current expectations and, as a result, the Company’s revenue and expenses may differ materially from the revenue and expenses profiles
provided in this presentation. Such information is presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be an indication of the Company’s actual financial position or
results of operations.

THIRD PARTY INFORMATION

This Presentation includes market and industry data which was obtained from various publicly available third-party sources. In preparing this Presentation, the Company
has relied upon such data from certain of these sources and other sources believed by the Company to be true. Although the Company believes it to be reliable, the
Company has not independently verified any of the data or conclusions from third-party sources referred to in this presentation, or analyzed or verified the underlying
reports relied upon or referred to by such sources, or ascertained the underlying assumptions relied upon by such sources. The Company does not make any
representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness, or suitability for any given analytical purpose, of such data or conclusions and disclaims any liability to the
recipient from the recipient’s use of any such report or source, or the data or conclusions therein, including those reproduced herein.

USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure used by management that does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar
measures presented by other companies. Management defines adjusted EBITDA as loss and comprehensive loss from operations, as reported, before interest, tax,
depreciation and amortization, and adjusted for removing share-based payments, unrealized gains and losses from short term investments and other one-time and non-
cash items including impairment losses. Management believes adjusted EBITDA is a useful financial metric to assess its operating performance on an adjusted basis as
described above. A description of these financial measures, including a reconciliation of such measures, to the extent possible, against the most directly comparable IFRS
measure, can be found starting on page 12 of the MD&A.

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN AUSTRALIA TODAY?
                        1.   Australia is the fourth largest legal medicinal cannabis market globally by patient
                             numbers and $ value (USA > CAN > GER > AU)

                        2.   The size of the Australian medicinal cannabis market is approximately $50m in
                             retail sales in 2020

                        3.   Under 2% is domestically grown cannabis with the vast majority being imported
                             from Canada, EU or LATAM

                        4.   1% of the total population have a medical need for medicinal cannabis (Australian
                             Population = 25M and so TAM = 250,000)

                        5.   There are no government subsidies on MC products currently – which means
                             consumers are paying $300-400/month for treatment. This is fully out-of-pocket
                             without insurance/ Medicare subsidy.

                        6.   About 80% of cannabinoid prescriptions are for oil/ tincture with flower making up
                             close to 15% and the remaining 5% constituting all other forms

                        7.   Over 30% of all cannabinoid prescriptions are for pure CBD oil

WHY IS AUSTRALIA AN ATTRACTIVE MARKET
       5
       4

FOR VALENS?
                        1.   Pureplay medical market, an excellent diversification from Canadian adult-use

                        2.   It is a derivative product dominated market with very little flower use

                        3.   It is almost a pure import market with minimal domestic cultivation and very
                             limited domestic manufacturing

                        4.   It is rapidly growing – likely to double in next 12 months

                        5.   Australia is the second most wealthy country in the world so the high net
                             disposable income makes it less price-point sensitive than Canada

                        6.   There is a relatively high use of illicit black-market cannabis in Australia today
                             (~10%)

                        7.   There are numerous FTAs with Asia-Pacific allowing tariff-free access to
                             the most populous areas of the world

                        8.   There is no cultivation capacity online currently but will
                             progressively come online in the next 12-18 months
