**Vancouver, B.C. — March 1, 2021 — Next Green Wave Holdings Inc.** (**CSE: NGW**) (**OTCQX: NXGWF**) (“Next Green Wave”, “NGW” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the following operational and financial updates:

* For each individual month between March 2020 to February 2021, the Company operated with positive cash flow, and achieved both positive Adjusted EBITDA\* and positive Net Income (the “Milestones”).  As a result, It has now achieved these Milestones for 12 consecutive months.
* On February 16, 2021, the Company submitted the full application (the “Application”) to the City of Coalinga (the “City”), for all required local cannabis licenses on its 50,000 square foot premium indoor facility (“Facility B”).  The Company is working with the City to get the Application approved at the next planning commission meeting, scheduled to be held on March 23, 2021, and subsequently the City, which has scheduled a council meeting on April 1, 2021.
* Once the Application is approved by the City, the Company can begin the process of acquiring building permits to commence construction at its discretion.  This timeline is consistent with the previously announced schedule from December 2020 (Click [**HERE**](https://www.nextgreenwave.com/news-releases/next-green-wave-confirms-expansion-plans/) for the press release).

*“I couldn’t be more proud of our operational and financial accomplishments over the past 12 months.  We not only established ourselves as a consistent producer of top quality cannabis products, but also established ourselves as a consistently profitable cannabis company.  As such, to be consistent with other industry participants, we are going to move away from providing detailed financial results on a monthly basis, and will instead provide them on a quarterly basis; we will announce high level Q1 2021 results in April 2021.  That being said, our Feb 2021 Adjusted EBITDA\* results were consistent with the last couple of months.”* ***– Michael Jennings CEO Next Green Wave***

\*All financial information is provided in U.S. dollars and is unaudited and is subject to change.  Any preliminary unaudited long-term financial projections provided herein have not been prepared in accordance with IFRS. Management uses non-IFRS financial measures, in addition to IFRS financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate the Company’s financial performance.  One example of a non-IFRS financial measure is Adjusted EBITDA, which has limitations as an analytical tool as it excludes from net income as reported, interest, tax, depreciation, other income and expenses, non-cash grow costs expensed for biological assets and unsold inventory, ‎and the non-cash fair value effects of accounting for biological assets and inventories.  Management believes that these non-IFRS financial measures reflect the Company’s ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business, as they facilitate comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies. Management also believes that these non-IFRS financial measures enable investors to evaluate the Company’s operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management. These non-IFRS financial measures may also exclude expenses and gains that may be unusual in nature, non-cash, infrequent or not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operating results.  As there are no standardized methods of calculating these non-IFRS measures, the Company’s methods may differ from those used by others, and accordingly, the use of these measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures used by others. Accordingly, Non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should only be considered in conjunction with IFRS financial Measures.

Although NGW has attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other risk factors that cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements. NGW has no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, even if new information becomes available as a result of future events, new information or for any other reason except as required by law.*
