Agreement with Key Shareholder Support</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">CALGARY, AB, Aug. 13, 2024 /CNW/ -&nbsp;SNDL Inc.
(Nasdaq: SNDL) (&quot;<B>SNDL</B>&quot;) and Nova Cannabis Inc. (TSX: NOVC) (&quot;<B>Nova</B>&quot;) are pleased to announce that they
have entered into an arrangement agreement (the &quot;<B>Agreement</B>&quot;) pursuant to which SNDL will acquire all of the issued and
outstanding common shares in the capital of Nova (&quot;<B>Nova Shares</B>&quot;) not already owned by SNDL, representing approximately
34.8% of Nova Shares, by way of a statutory plan of arrangement (the &quot;<B>Transaction</B>&quot;) for aggregate consideration of approximately
$40 million (the &quot;<B>Consideration</B>&quot;). All financial information in this press release is reported in Canadian dollars unless
otherwise indicated.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">&quot;Today's announcement by our Alberta-based corporations
underscores our commitment to sustainable performance in Canadian cannabis,&quot; said Zach George, SNDL's Chief Executive Officer. &quot;We
are committed to building a consumer-centric model at scale, supported by SNDL's robust shared service model, access to capital, and a
well-developed cannabis retail pipeline. These factors are integral to the achievement of sustained profitable growth.&quot;</P>

<UL STYLE="list-style-type: disc">

<LI STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt"><B>Retail Expertise: </B>Nova's retail expertise will support
SNDL's entire cannabis retail portfolio to enhance programming, expand data programs, advance staff training initiatives, and optimize
inventory management.</LI>

<LI STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt"><B>Synergies and Cost Rationalization: </B>The Transaction is
anticipated to generate savings through the streamlining of public company expenses and the optimization of general and administrative
costs.</LI>

<LI STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt"><B>Access to Capital: </B>SNDL's robust balance sheet will ensure
that Nova's retail platform continues to be supported in a competitive and challenging environment.</LI>

</UL>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">&quot;The proposed Transaction offers liquidity and
certainty to minority shareholders, while creating a lasting retail legacy in a nascent industry,&quot; said Ron Hozjan, one of Nova's
independent directors and Chair of the special committee of Nova. &quot;I commend the Nova team and board of directors for their dedication
and leadership.&quot;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">Under the terms of the Agreement, Nova's shareholders
will receive $1.75 in cash for each Nova Share (the &quot;<B>Cash Consideration</B>&quot;), representing a premium of 41.2% to the 20-day
VWAP of Nova Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (&quot;<B>TSX</B>&quot;) as of market close on August 12, 2024.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">Nova shareholders also have the ability to elect to
receive, in lieu of the Cash Consideration, 0.58 of a common share of SNDL (the &quot;<B>SNDL Shares</B>&quot;) for each Nova Share (the
&quot;<B>Share Consideration</B>&quot; and, collectively with the Cash Consideration, the &quot;<B>Consideration</B>&quot;), subject to
proration and a maximum of 50% of the aggregate Consideration being payable in SNDL Shares.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">The Transaction has been approved by the boards of
directors of both SNDL and Nova and is expected to close on or before October 18, 2024. Following the closing of the Transaction, the
Nova Shares are expected to be delisted from the TSX and Nova will apply to cease to be a reporting issuer in all provinces and territories
of Canada.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0"><B>Shareholder Approval </B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">The Transaction will be carried out by way of a court-approved
plan of arrangement under the <I>Business Corporations Act</I> (Alberta), pursuant to which SNDL will acquire all of the issued and outstanding
Nova Shares not already owned by SNDL. The implementation of the Transaction will be subject to (among other things) the approval of at
least two thirds of the Nova Shares voted by Nova shareholders, as well as the requisite approval of the majority of disinterested Nova
shareholders under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - <I>Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions</I> (&quot;<B>MI
61-101</B>&quot;), at a special meeting of Nova shareholders expected to be held by Nova in October, 2024 (the &quot;<B>Meeting</B>&quot;).&nbsp;
The Transaction is also subject to the receipt of court approval from the Court of King's Bench of Alberta and other customary closing
conditions.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">Nova's board of directors (the &quot;<B>Nova Board</B>&quot;),
after consultation with its financial and legal advisors and acting on the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of Nova's independent
directors (the &quot;<B>Special Committee</B>&quot;), has determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of Nova and is fair
to Nova Shareholders. Nova's board of directors has resolved to recommend that the Nova shareholders vote in favour of the Transaction.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0"><B>Formal Valuation and Fairness Opinion</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">The Special Committee retained Eight Capital Inc.
(&quot;<B>Eight Capital</B>&quot;) as financial advisor and independent valuator and requested that Eight Capital prepare a formal valuation
in accordance with MI 61-101. Eight Capital delivered an oral opinion to the Special Committee that, as of August 9, 2024, based on Eight
Capital's analysis and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications to be set forth in Eight Capital's written valuation,

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">This news release contains statements and information
that, to the extent that they are not historical fact, may constitute &quot;forward-looking information&quot; or &quot;forward-looking
statements&quot; within the meaning of applicable securities legislation (&quot;<B>forward-looking information</B>&quot;). Forward-looking
information is typically, but not always, identified by the use of words such as &quot;will&quot;, &quot;expected&quot;, &quot;projected&quot;,
&quot;to be&quot; and similar words, including negatives thereof, or other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical
facts. Forward-looking information in this news release includes, but is not limited to, statements regarding: the completion of the Transaction
on the current terms thereof; the expected closing of the Transaction and the timing thereof; the value of the consideration to be received
by Nova's shareholders; the expected holding of the Meeting and the timing thereof; the combined company and its focus going forward;
the anticipated delisting of the Nova Shares from the TSX; Nova's application to cease to be a reporting issuer; the timing and receipt
of certain approvals of the Transaction and satisfaction of other conditions to closing; and the anticipated benefits associated with
the Transaction. Such forward-looking information is based on various assumptions and factors that may prove to be incorrect, including,
but not limited to, factors and assumptions with respect to: the Transaction being completed on the timelines and on the terms currently
anticipated; all necessary shareholder, court approvals being obtained on the timelines and in the manner currently anticipated; all conditions
to the Transaction will be satisfied or waived and the Arrangement Agreement will not be terminated prior to completion of the Transaction;
the anticipated benefits of the Transaction; the business and operations of both SNDL and Nova, including that each business will continue
to operate in a manner consistent with past practice and pursuant to certain industry and market conditions; and the ability of SNDL and
Nova to successfully implement their respective strategic plans and initiatives and whether such strategic plans and initiatives will
yield the expected benefits.&nbsp;Although SNDL and Nova believe that the assumptions and factors on which such forward-looking information
is based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking information because SNDL and Nova can give no assurance
that it will prove to be correct or that any of the events anticipated by such forward-looking information will transpire or occur, or
if any of them do so, what benefits SNDL and/or Nova will derive therefrom. Actual results could differ materially from those currently
anticipated due to a number of factors and risks including, but not limited to: the risk that the Transaction is not completed as anticipated
or at all, including the timing thereof, and if completed, that the benefits thereof will not be as anticipated; the risk that necessary
shareholder, court approvals are not obtained as anticipated or at all, and the timing thereof; the risk that the conditions to closing
of the Transaction are not satisfied or waived; the possibility of the Arrangement Agreement being terminated in certain circumstances;
the ability of the Nova Board to consider and approval a superior proposal for Nova; risks associated with general economic conditions;
adverse industry events; future legislative, tax and regulatory developments, including developments that may impact the closing of the
Transaction as anticipated or at all; conditions in the liquor and cannabis industries; the risk that Nova does not receive the necessary
retail cannabis approvals and/or authorizations or that they are not able to open additional retail liquor or cannabis stores, directly
or indirectly, as anticipated or at all; the ability of management to execute its business strategy, objectives and plans; and the availability
of capital to fund the build-out and opening of additional retail liquor or cannabis stores.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">Readers, therefore, should not place undue reliance
