Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 24, 2025) - Vext Science, Inc. (CSE: VEXT) (OTCQX: VEXTF) ("Vext" or the "Company") a U.S.-based cannabis operator with vertical operations in Arizona and Ohio, today announced that it has been granted a dual-use provisional license by the Ohio Division of Cannabis Control ("DCC") for a cannabis dispensary in Fairfield, Ohio (the "Dispensary"). All currency references used in this news release are in U.S. currency unless otherwise noted.

The 3,825 square foot dispensary will be located in Fairfield, a northern suburb of Cincinnati, just off Route 4, a high-traffic commercial corridor. The site is adjacent to Jungle Jim's International Market, a major retail attraction, and surrounded by national retailers and a large fitness center, supporting strong consumer traffic. Additionally, the City of Fairfield has imposed a one-dispensary limit, and Vext has secured the sole permitted location, providing a unique competitive advantage in the market.

Eric Offenberger, CEO of Vext commented, "The Fairfield dispensary marks our sixth location in Ohio and reflects the disciplined, strategic growth that underpins our vertically integrated model. With five stores already operational in Ohio^[2], we are seeing strong validation of our approach through record cash flow and margin expansion in 2025. Fairfield is expected to be a meaningful contributor to long-term growth, supported by it's high-visibility location, limited competition, and convenient drive-thru format. We are particularly excited about the Dispensary's proximity to Jungle Jim's International Market - an iconic regional retail destination that enhances both visibility and customer traffic and look forward to serving the vibrant Fairfield community. Ohio continues to be a core market for Vext, and each new store further strengthens our ability to drive consistent results and value for shareholders."
