Tobacco retailers who sold out of TAAT\u2122 <em>Menthol<\/em> have placed reorders through their respective tobacco distributors who carry TAAT\u2122. The Company continues to focus its efforts on commercializing all three varieties of TAAT\u2122 in a balanced manner to legal-aged smokers in the state of Ohio, while continuously analyzing sales data for TAAT\u2122 <em>Original<\/em>, <em>Smooth<\/em>, and <em>Menthol<\/em> to develop strategies that are specific to each product variety based on actual market performance.<\/p>\n<p>In a press release dated July 3, 2020, the Company outlined its provisional strategy for gaining market share in the menthol subset of the USD $814 billion global tobacco industry, a segment which was valued at approximately USD $80 billion in 2018 by Grand View Research<sup>1<\/sup>. Menthol cigarettes, which were invented in Ohio in 1924<sup>2<\/sup>, gained popularity due to the unique \u201ccooling\u201d sensation from added menthol (C<sub>10<\/sub>H<sub>20<\/sub>O). The first major brand of menthol cigarettes in the United States, known as <em>Kools<\/em>, advertised \u201cthroat comfort\u201d as a defining attribute in comparison to traditional tobacco cigarettes. Major tobacco companies began offering standalone brands of menthol cigarettes beginning in the 1950s including R.J. Reynolds (<em>Salem<\/em>), Lorillard (<em>Newport<\/em>, <em>Spring<\/em>), and Philip Morris (<em>Alpine<\/em>)<sup>3<\/sup>. Menthol cigarettes remain immensely popular in the United States, with <em>Newport<\/em> menthol cigarettes holding a market share of approximately 14%, second only to <em>Marlboro<\/em><sup>4<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n        <em>Promotional graphic for TAAT\u2122 Menthol, one of the three varieties of TAAT\u2122 that became available for sale to legal-aged smokers in Ohio beginning last year:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/NewsRoom\/AttachmentNg\/232445ee-0420-4dd0-922d-1bdaf199f1d9\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/NewsRoom\/AttachmentNg\/232445ee-0420-4dd0-922d-1bdaf199f1d9<\/a><\/em>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n        <strong>Readers using news aggregation services may be unable to view the media above.

Based on data from 2011 through 2016 sourced by Nielsen, the three states with the highest proportion of menthol cigarettes in combustible tobacco sales were Pennsylvania (45%), Maryland (44%), and Delaware (43.3%)<sup>5<\/sup>. In the same data, Ohio\u2019s proportion of menthol cigarettes in combustible tobacco sales was just 31.3%. Internationally, menthol cigarettes hold substantial market share in several Asian markets such as the Philippines (estimated by Philip Morris to be 49.4% in 2010<sup>6<\/sup>), one of the countries in which TAAT\u2122 recently filed trademark applications.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The Company\u2019s distribution partners have managed to fulfill reorders of TAAT\u2122 <em>Menthol<\/em> as part of standard routing procedures. In an effort to create a competitive edge in a given market, the Company is diligently establishing and maintaining a robust distribution network in order to ensure a constant availability of TAAT\u2122 at all points of sale. Furthermore, a multi-pallet shipment of TAAT\u2122 <em>Original<\/em>, <em>Smooth<\/em>, and <em>Menthol<\/em> is destined to arrive in Ohio later this quarter as the Company continues to build out the presence of TAAT\u2122 in its initial market.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n        <em>Original United States patent for menthol cigarettes filed in 1924 by Lloyd Hughes of Ohio<\/em><br \/>\n        <sup><br \/>\n          <em>2<\/em><br \/>\n        <\/sup><br \/>\n        <em>, where TAAT\u2122 has recently introduced its tobacco-free and nicotine-free combustible product with menthol flavouring:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/NewsRoom\/AttachmentNg\/16f7c977-b878-449a-b0d3-ac32b7ba17d1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/NewsRoom\/AttachmentNg\/16f7c977-b878-449a-b0d3-ac32b7ba17d1<\/a><\/em>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n        <strong>Readers using news aggregation services may be unable to view the media above.

Our objective with TAAT\u2122 is to offer legal-aged smokers a better alternative to tobacco cigarettes by aligning our tobacco-free and nicotine-free products with what they are already enjoying, which includes menthol flavouring in TAAT\u2122 <em>Menthol <\/em>to closely emulate the experience of smoking a menthol cigarette. Although non-flavoured tobacco comprises the majority of the tobacco market, there are many markets in the United States in which over one third of all cigarettes sold are menthols. As such, this is not a product category to be overlooked. Although we have not specifically focused our marketing efforts to legal-aged smokers on the TAAT\u2122 <em>Menthol<\/em> variety, we are pleased to see that this specific SKU has sold well in our first few weeks. We look forward to gathering more sales data as well as product feedback from legal-aged smokers as we continue commercializing TAAT\u2122 products in the USD $814 billion global tobacco industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">TAAT\u2122 Chief Revenue Officer Tim Corkum commented, \u201cAfter a few weeks of TAAT\u2122 being sold at retail in Ohio, we have had opportunities to gather data regarding how it has performed among the legal-aged smokers who have purchased the product. General reception has been excellent for all three varieties of TAAT\u2122, though TAAT\u2122 <em>Menthol<\/em> was the first to be sold out and reordered. These learnings are especially valuable for us, as they can only be obtained through data from actual sales. Based on the performance of TAAT\u2122 <em>Menthol<\/em> in Ohio so far, we recognize that these learnings can be especially valuable in potential expansions into new markets, especially in states such as Pennsylvania where 45% of the combustible tobacco market consists of menthols. I have brought many tobacco category products to market across North America, and this phase in which meaningful sales insights begin to emerge is pivotal to any product launch and shaping the product\u2019s long-term commercialization plan, whether at a regional or national level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <u>Sources<\/u>\n      <\/p>\n<p>1 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grandviewresearch.com\/industry-analysis\/menthol-cigarette-market\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><u>https:\/\/www.grandviewresearch.com\/industry-analysis\/menthol-cigarette-market<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p>2 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/patents.google.com\/patent\/US1555580A\/en?inventor=Lloyd+F+Hughes\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><u>https:\/\/patents.google.com\/patent\/US1555580A\/en?inventor=Lloyd+F+Hughes<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p>3 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu\/tobacco\/docs\/#id=pzkj0136\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><u>https:\/\/www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu\/tobacco\/docs\/#id=pzkj0136<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p>4 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/tobacco\/data_statistics\/fact_sheets\/tobacco_industry\/brand_preference\/index.htm\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><u>https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/tobacco\/data_statistics\/fact_sheets\/tobacco_industry\/brand_preference\/index.htm<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p>5 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5711620\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><u>https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5711620\/<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p>On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Company,<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>TAAT<\/strong>\u2122<strong> LIFESTYLE &amp; WELLNESS LTD.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSetti Coscarella\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Setti Coscarella, CEO and Director<\/p>\n<p>For further information, please contact:<\/p>\n<p>TAAT\u2122 Investor Relations<br \/>1-833-TAAT-USA (1-833-822-8872)<br \/><a href=\"mailto:investor@taatusa.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><u>investor@taatusa.com<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p>THE CANADIAN SECURITIES EXCHANGE (\u201cCSE\u201d) HAS NOT REVIEWED AND DOES NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS RELEASE, NOR HAS OR DOES THE CSE\u2019S REGULATION SERVICES PROVIDER.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About TAAT<\/strong>\u2122<strong> Lifestyle &amp; Wellness Ltd.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Company has developed TAAT\u2122, which is a tobacco-free and nicotine-free alternative to traditional cigarettes offered in &#8220;Original&#8221;, &#8220;Smooth&#8221;, and &#8220;Menthol&#8221; varieties.

Prior to launching TAAT\u2122 in the United States, the Company issued a press release detailing its intent to place a strategic focus on the menthol cigarette segment. The market for menthol cigarettes is valued at approximately USD $80 billion globally, and menthol cigarettes represent about 45% of combustible tobacco sales in Pennsylvania, a neighbouring state to Ohio.
