CALGARY, Aug. 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Sundial Growers Inc.
(Nasdaq: SNDL) ("Sundial" or the "Company") is pleased to announce
that the Company has been added to the portfolio of the Horizons
Marijuana Life Sciences Index ETF (TSX: HMMJ) ("HMMJ"). This
follows the addition of Sundial to the North American Marijuana
Index (the "Index"), the underlying index of HMMJ.
"Becoming a member of the Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences Index
ETF is an important milestone as a leading, international cannabis
company," said Torsten Kuenzlen, Chief Executive Officer. "Being
added to HMMJ will further expand our exposure to a broader range
of investors."

American life sciences companies with significant business
activities in the marijuana industry. In accordance with the Index
guideline, all Index components have been re-weighted based on
their market capitalization at the time Sundial was added.

capitalization. The holdings of HMMJ and its current portfolio
weights are regularly updated and available at
