General Cannabis Corp. (the Registrant) is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020 (the Form 10-Q) by the filing deadline due to a delay experienced by the Registrant in completing its financial statements and other disclosures in the Form 10-Q. The Registrant is still in the process of compiling required information to complete the Form 10-Q as it is reviewing certain non-cash warrant derivative liabilities. The Registrant currently anticipates that it will file the Form 10-Q within the additional time provided by Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
