This statement on Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) is a late filing, which is being made pursuant to Rule 13d-1(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Because the Reporting Persons (defined below) beneficially owned over 5% of the subordinate voting shares, no par value per share (the “Subordinate Voting Shares”), of Jushi Holdings Inc. (the “Issuer”) prior to August 12, 2022, the effective date of the Issuer’s initial Registration Statement on Form S-1 and the registration of its Subordinate Voting Shares under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, James A. Cacioppo (the “Reporting Person”) was initially exempt from the requirement to file a Schedule 13D or 13G pursuant to Section 13(d)(6)(B). Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(d), the Reporting Person was required to file a Schedule 13G prior to February 14, 2023.

Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 13d-1(a) of the Exchange Act, the Reporting Persons are required to file a Schedule 13D in connection with such acquisitions, and any amendments thereto upon subsequent material changes to his beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock.
