&#147;<B>Exchange Act</B>&#148;), and is subject to the safe harbor created by those sections. This prospectus and the documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus also contain &#147;forward-looking information&#148; within the
meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Such forward-looking statements and forward-looking information are collectively referred to herein as &#147;forward-looking statements&#148;. Forward-looking statements may relate to our future
outlook or financial position and anticipated events or results and may include statements regarding the financial position, business strategy, budgets, expansion plans, litigation, projected production, projected costs, capital expenditures,
financial results, taxes, plans and objectives of ours or involving us. Particularly, statements regarding future results, performance, achievements, prospects or opportunities for us, the greenhouse vegetable or produce industry or the cannabis
industry are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by such terms as &#147;outlook&#148;, &#147;may&#148;, &#147;might&#148;, &#147;will&#148;, &#147;could&#148;, &#147;should&#148;,

to Pure Sunfarms Corp. (&#147;<B>Pure Sunfarms</B>&#148;) and our operations of growing hemp in the United States; the legal status of Pure Sunfarms cannabis business; risks relating to obtaining additional financing, including our dependence upon
credit facilities; potential difficulties in achieving and/or maintaining profitability; variability of product pricing; risks inherent in the cannabis, hemp and agricultural businesses; the ability of Pure Sunfarms to cultivate and distribute
cannabis in Canada; existing and new governmental regulations, including risks related to regulatory compliance and licenses under the Canadian <I>Cannabis Act</I>, S.C. 2018, c. 16 (Canada) for its Delta greenhouse facilities, and changes in our
regulatory requirements; risks related to rules and regulations at the U.S. federal (Food and Drug Administration and United States Department of Agriculture), state and municipal levels with respect to produce and hemp; retail consolidation,
technological advances and other forms of competition; transportation disruptions; product liability and other potential litigation; retention of key executives; labor issues; uninsured and underinsured losses; vulnerability to rising energy costs;
environmental, health and safety risks, foreign exchange exposure, risks associated with cross-border trade; difficulties in managing our growth; restrictive covenants under our credit facilities; natural catastrophes; the ongoing and developing <FONT

this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein are based upon assumptions that management believes are reasonable based on information currently available to management, there can be no assurance that actual results will be
consistent with these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements necessarily involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, that may cause our or the industry&#146;s actual results, performance,
achievements, prospects and opportunities in future periods to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the factors contained in our filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;<B>SEC</B>&#148;), including this prospectus and the documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus. In particular, we caution you that our forward-looking statements are subject

are residents of Canada, and all or a substantial portion of their assets and a substantial portion of our assets, are located outside the United States. Consequently, although we have appointed an agent for service of process in the United States,
it may be difficult for holders of our Securities who reside in the United States to effect service within the United States upon our directors, officers and experts who are not residents of the United States. It may also be difficult for holders of

apply to any Debt Securities issued pursuant to this prospectus. We may issue Debt Securities in one or more series under an indenture to be entered into between us and one or more trustees, at least one of which will be qualified to act as a U.S.
trustee and one of which will be qualified to act as a Canadian trustee. References herein to the &#147;trustee&#148; shall be deemed to mean the U.S. trustee and/or the Canadian trustee. The indenture will be subject to and governed by the United
States Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the &#147;<B>Trust Indenture Act</B>&#148;), and the CBCA. A copy of the form of the indenture is filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the Debt Securities. Prospective investors should also refer to the indenture and the terms of the Debt Securities. If Debt Securities are issued, we will describe in the
applicable prospectus supplement the particular terms and provisions of any series of the Debt Securities and a description of how the general terms and provisions described below may apply to that series of the Debt Securities. Prospective
investors should rely on information in the applicable prospectus supplement and not on the following information to the extent that the information in such prospectus supplement is different from the following information. </P>

one or more series and may be denominated and payable in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars or any foreign currency. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Debt Securities will be our unsecured obligations. The indenture

price basis, the Securities may be offered at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices determined by reference to the prevailing price of a specified security in a specified market or at prices to be negotiated with purchasers,
including sales in transactions that are deemed to be <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;at-the-market</FONT></FONT> distributions&#148; in accordance with Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, in which case

gross proceeds paid by the underwriter, dealer or agent to the Company. The price at which the Securities will be offered and sold may vary from purchaser to purchaser and during the period of distribution. </P>

parties, including in the form of underwriters&#146;, dealers or agents&#146; fees, commissions or concessions. Any underwriters, dealers or agents who participate in the sale or distribution of the Securities may be deemed to be
&#147;underwriters&#148; within the meaning of the Securities Act. As a result, any profits on the sale of the Securities by such underwriters, dealers or agents and any discounts, commissions or agent&#146;s commissions or concessions received by
any such underwriter, dealer or agent who are deemed to be underwriters will be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. The specific terms of any <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">lock-up</FONT> provisions in
