1. What is a Registered Shareholder? A registered shareholder is a person or entity who directly owns shares in a company. The registered shareholder will have their name and address filed on the company's registry. 2. How do I confirm the number of shares I have? Holders may confirm their holdings by contacting C21's (as defined below) transfer agent or the Depositary. You may contact the Depositary, by visiting: www.odysseytrust.com/ca-en/help or by phone at 1-888-290-1175 (Toll-Free). 3. What is a Medallion Guarantee? It is a special certification stamp that guarantees a signature and authorizes a transfer of securities from one registered holder to another. If your financial institution does not offer Medallion Guarantees, you can request a virtual Medallion by making an appointment through Odyssey by visiting: www.odysseytrust.com/ca-en/help. 4. What is an Eligible Institution? It is a member of the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (STAMP), a member of the Stock Exchanges Medallion Program (SEMP), or a member of the New York Stock Exchange Inc. Medallion Signature Program (MSP). Participants of these programs are usually members of a recognized stock exchange in Canada and/or the United States, members of the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization, members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or banks and trust companies in the United States. Alternatively, a Signature Guarantee from Royal Bank of Canada or TD Bank, is acceptable. 5. What is Signing Authority? Where someone executes the Letter of Transmittal other than the registered shareholder or where the shares are registered to an entity, it must be accompanied by satisfactory evidence of the representative's authority to sign on behalf of the registered holder or entity. Examples of these documents include Corporate Resolutions, Partnership/Trustee Agreements, proofs of guardianship, Powers of Attorney, Estate Documentation, etc. Note: Documents demonstrating authority must be dated within the last 6 months. |

("Vireo") dated as of June 14, 2026 (as it may be amended, modified, restated or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms, the "Arrangement Agreement"). If the Arrangement is completed, Registered C21 Shareholders (other than Dissenting Shareholders and C21) who have properly completed, duly executed and delivered this Letter of Transmittal and all other required documents to the Depositary, will receive 0.023052 of a subordinate voting share of Vireo (each whole share, a "Consideration Share" and, collectively, the "Consideration Shares"), as may be adjusted pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, for each Common Share (after conversion of all Subordinate Voting Shares into Common Shares) held by Registered C21 Shareholders at the Effective Time and Vireo will acquire all of the issued and outstanding C21 Shares from the Registered C21 Shareholders (other than any C21 Shares held by Dissenting Shareholders and C21), all as described in the Circular (as defined below).

TO ASSIST YOU IN COMPLETING THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
This Letter of Transmittal is for use by Registered C21 Shareholders of C21 Shares only and is not to be used by beneficial holders of C21 Shares ("Non-Registered C21 Shareholders"). A Non-Registered C21 Shareholder does not have C21 Shares registered in its name; rather, such C21 Shares are registered in the name of a broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company, nominee or other intermediary (each, an "Intermediary") through which it purchased the C21 Shares or in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc.) of which the Intermediary is a participant. If you are a Non-Registered C21 Shareholder, you should contact your Intermediary for instructions and assistance in depositing your DRS advice(s) or certificate(s) representing C21 Shares and receiving the Consideration Shares for such C21 Shares. To receive the Consideration Shares, Registered C21 Shareholders are required to deposit the original certificate(s) or DRS advice(s), representing the C21 Shares held by them, along with this properly completed and duly signed Letter of Transmittal to the Depositary. A DRS advice (or certificate, if requested by the Registered C21 Shareholder in this Letter of Transmittal), representing a Registered C21 Shareholder's aggregate Consideration Shares, less any amounts withheld, if applicable, payable to a Registered C21 Shareholder who has complied with the procedures set out herein will be, as soon as practicable after the Effective Date and after the receipt of all required documents: (i) e-mailed to the Registered C21 Shareholder at the e-mail address specified in this Letter of Transmittal (ii) forwarded to the Registered C21 Shareholder at the address specified in this Letter of Transmittal by first-class mail, postage prepaid; (iii) if no address has been specified in this Letter of Transmittal, forwarded to the address of the Registered C21 Shareholder on the register of the C21 Shares or; (iv) made available at the office of the Depositary at which this Letter of Transmittal and the original certificate(s) or DRS advice(s), if applicable, representing the C21 Shares were delivered, for pickup by the Registered C21 Shareholder, as requested by the Registered C21 Shareholder in this Letter of Transmittal.
Registered C21 Shareholders are not entitled to receive fractional Consideration Shares in connection with the Arrangement, and in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, no other form of consideration will be payable in lieu thereof. Where the aggregate number of Consideration Shares to be issued to a Registered C21 Shareholder under the Arrangement would result in a fraction of a Consideration Share being issuable, then the number of Consideration Shares to be issued to such Registered C21 Shareholder will be rounded down to the nearest whole Consideration Share and no compensation will be issued in lieu of the issuance of a fractional Consideration Share.

Please note that the delivery of this Letter of Transmittal, together with your certificate(s) or DRS advice(s) representing your C21 Shares, does not constitute a vote in favour of the Arrangement. To exercise your right to vote at the Meeting, you must attend the Meeting in person or by proxy.
COMPLETION OF THE ARRANGEMENT IS SUBJECT TO THE SATISFACTION OR WAIVER OF CERTAIN CONDITIONS, AS FURTHER DESCRIBED IN THE CIRCULAR. NO DELIVERY OF THE CONSIDERATION SHARES WILL BE MADE PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE TIME.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU CAREFULLY READ THE INSTRUCTIONS SET OUT BELOW, PROPERLY COMPLETE, DULY EXECUTE, AND RETURN THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL ON A TIMELY BASIS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED HEREIN. YOU ARE STRONGLY URGED TO READ THE CIRCULAR, INCLUDING THE APPENDICES ATTACHED THERETO, BEFORE COMPLETING THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL TO AN ADDRESS OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH IN THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL WILL NOT CONSTITUTE A VALID DELIVERY. IF C21 SHARES ARE REGISTERED IN DIFFERENT NAMES, A SEPARATE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL MUST BE SUBMITTED FOR EACH DIFFERENT REGISTERED C21 SHAREHOLDER.

Delivery will be deemed received only when such documents are received by the Depositary. C21 and Vireo recommend that the necessary documentation be hand delivered to the Depositary at the address set out on the back of this Letter of Transmittal, and a receipt obtained; otherwise, the use of registered mail or courier with return receipt requested and properly insured, is recommended.

2. U.S. Federal Income Tax and Backup Withholding - Form W-9 Instructions
(a) The following does not constitute a summary of the tax consequences of the Arrangement and Registered C21 Shareholders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the Arrangement as well as any elections that may be available to mitigate certain possible adverse U.S. tax consequences. Each U.S. Shareholder is required to provide the Depositary with a correct Taxpayer Identification Number ("TIN") on IRS Form W-9, which may be obtained from the Depositary or at http://www.irs.gov, and to certify whether such holder is subject to backup withholding of federal income tax. If a U.S. Shareholder has been notified by the IRS that such holder is subject to backup withholding, such U.S. Shareholder must cross out item 2 of IRS Form W-9, unless such holder has since been notified by the IRS that such holder is no longer subject to backup withholding. You are a U.S. person if you are: (a) an individual citizen or resident alien of the United States as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (b) a corporation (including an entity taxable as a corporation) or partnership created in the United States or under the laws of the United States or any state or the District of Columbia; (c) an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source; or (d) a trust if: (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust; or (ii) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. Exempt holders (including, among others, all corporations) are not subject to backup withholding requirements. To prevent possible erroneous backup withholding, an exempt holder must enter its correct TIN or Employer Identification Number on the IRS Form W-9 and sign and date the form. If a U.S. Shareholder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for one or intends to apply for one in the near future, such holder should write "Applied For" in the space provided for the TIN on the IRS Form W-9, and sign and date the IRS Form W-9 and the Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number. If "Applied For" is written on the IRS Form W-9 and the Depositary is not provided with a TIN within 60 days, the Depositary may withhold 24% of all consideration due to such holder in connection with the Arrangement until a TIN is provided to the Depositary. If the IRS Form W-9 is not applicable to a holder because such holder is not a U.S. Shareholder, but such holder provides an address that is located in the United States, such holder will instead need to submit an appropriate and properly completed IRS Form W-8, signed under penalty of perjury to avoid U.S. federal backup withholding tax. An appropriate IRS Form W-8 (W-8BEN, W-8ECI or other form) may be obtained from the Depositary, or at http://www.irs.gov.

(b) A U.S. SHAREHOLDER WHO FAILS TO PROPERLY COMPLETE THE IRS FORM W-9 MAY BE SUBJECT TO PENALTIES IMPOSED BY THE IRS AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING OF 24% ON ANY CONSIDERATION SUBJECT TO TAX DUE TO SUCH HOLDER IN CONNECTION WITH THE ARRANGEMENT. BACKUP WITHHOLDING IS NOT AN ADDITIONAL TAX. RATHER, THE TAX LIABILITY OF PERSONS SUBJECT TO BACKUP WITHHOLDING WILL BE REDUCED BY THE AMOUNT OF TAX WITHHELD. IF WITHHOLDING RESULTS IN AN OVERPAYMENT OF TAXES, A REFUND MAY BE OBTAINED BY TIMELY FILING A CLAIM FOR REFUND WITH THE IRS. THE DEPOSITARY CANNOT REFUND AMOUNTS WITHHELD BY REASON OF BACKUP WITHHOLDING. EACH HOLDER OF C21 SHARES IS URGED TO CONSULT HIS, HER OR ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR TO DETERMINE WHETHER SUCH HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO FURNISH AN IRS FORM W-9 OR IS EXEMPT FROM BACKUP WITHHOLDING AND INFORMATION REPORTING.
