The Company Also Files a Preliminary Base Shelf Prospectus

CALGARY, AB , July 28, 2025 /CNW/ - High Tide Inc. ("High Tide" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: HITI) (TSXV: HITI) (FSE: 2LYA), the high-impact, retail-forward enterprise built to deliver real-world value across every component of cannabis, announced today that it has officially surpassed 2 million Cabana Club members, solidifying its position as the largest and most robust bricks-and-mortar cannabis loyalty program in Canada. In addition, the Company's paid loyalty tier, ELITE, has exceeded 104,000 members nationwide—a major milestone in the growth of its innovative discount club model.

"Crossing 2 million Cabana Club members and surpassing 100,000 ELITE members are landmark achievements for High Tide and clear proof points of the power behind our unique discount club model," said Raj Grover, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide. "Our rapidly growing membership base fuels the loyalty engine that drives traffic, margin, and differentiation. As we continue our expansion towards over 300 Canna Cabana locations across the country, I'm confident our Cabana Club and ELITE programs will remain key drivers of growth as we expand our national footprint and continue elevating the cannabis retail experience."

Base Shelf Prospectus

High Tide is also pleased to announce that it has filed a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus (the "Prospectus") to replace its final short form base shelf prospectus dated August 3, 2023 in anticipation of its expiry on September 3, 2025. The Prospectus will provide the Company with the flexibility to take advantage of financing opportunities and favourable market conditions, if and when needed, during the 25-month period that the Prospectus, once made final, remains effective (the "Effective Period"). The Prospectus has been filed in each of the provinces and territories in Canada. The Prospectus, when final and effective, will enable the Company to offer, issue and sell, from time to time: common shares, warrants, units, subscription receipts, debt securities, convertible securities, or any combination of such securities (collectively, the "Securities") for up to an aggregate offering price of C$100,000,000 (or its equivalent), in one or more transactions during the Effective Period. A copy of the Prospectus may be obtained under the Company's SEDAR+ and EDGAR profiles at www.sedarplus.ca and www.sec.gov.

The Company has also filed a corresponding shelf registration statement relating to the Securities with the United States of America Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the U.S. Canada Multijurisdictional Disclosure System.

The Company may also use the Prospectus in connection with an "at-the-market distribution" in accordance with applicable securities laws, which would permit securities to be sold on behalf of the Company through the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), Nasdaq Stock Exchange (or other existing trading markets), as further described in the applicable prospectus supplement. To date, no agreement has been entered into with respect to such distribution.

The Company may use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities for general corporate purposes, capital projects, internal expansion, or for the acquisition of other businesses, assets or securities by the Company or one of its subsidiaries.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities, nor will there be any sale of the Securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under securities laws of any such jurisdiction. The Company currently has no immediate plans to issue any Securities under the Prospectus at this time and may never proceed with any such issuance. If any Securities are offered under the Prospectus, the terms of any such Securities and the intended use of the net proceeds resulting from such offering would be established at the time of any offering and would be described in a prospectus supplement filed with the applicable securities regulatory authorities at the time of such offering and would be made available by High Tide.
