(collectively, the “MSO Subsidiaries”).  NOR and Henderson operate the Company’s The+Source dispensaries in the Las Vegas, Nevada region, and have recently commenced delivery service in response to Nevada Governor Stephen Sisolak’s March 20, 2020 order limiting dispensary operations in the state.  None of the MSO subsidiaries nor any of their respective assets will be subject to the receivership order.
