Glass House Brands
Welcomes Hector De La Torre Back to The Board of Directors
LONG BEACH,
CA and TORONTO, July 15, 2024 -
Glass House Brands Inc. (“Glass House” or the “Company”) (CBOE CA: GLAS.A.U) (CBOE CA: GLAS.WT.U) (OTCQX: GLASF)
(OTCQX:GHBWF), one of the fastest-growing, vertically integrated cannabis companies in the U.S., announced today the reappointment of
Hector De La Torre to the Company’s Board of Directors. Mr. De La Torre previously served as an original member of the Board until
2023, when he stepped down due to time restraints connected to other commitments.
“We are excited to welcome Hector back to the Glass House
Board,” said Kyle Kazan, Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO of Glass House. “Hector made many valuable contributions to our
company during his first tenure and was one of the earliest vocal advocates for cannabis policy reform in California when he was a
member of the State Assembly. We know that his proven track record in public health and public affairs will be invaluable going
forward as the cannabis industry evolves and we continue to execute on our growth plans.”
“Glass
House Brands is the premier cannabis company in California,” said Mr. De
La Torre. “Having experienced the growing pains from the inception during my previous tenure, I look forward to contributing
to Glass House being a market leader with its many opportunities for growth going forward.”
Hector De La Torre is a veteran public servant with significant government
and nonprofit experience. He is currently a member of the board and former two-term chair at LA Care (the largest public nonprofit health
plan in the United States), a trustee and co-chair of the Obama Scholars Advisory Council at his alma mater Occidental College in Los
Angeles, and an Assembly appointee member of the California Air Resources Board.
De La Torre served in the California State Assembly from 2004 to
2010, representing the largely Latino 50th District in southeast LA County. He chaired the Budget Subcommittee on Health and Human
Services, the Rules Committee and helped create and chair the
Accountability and Administrative Review Committee during his tenure. De La Torre was recently the Executive Director of the
nonprofit Gasol Foundation focused on children’s wellness, and the national non-profit
Transamerica Center for Health Studies. Prior to his service in the Assembly, he served as Mayor and as a member of the South Gate
City Council, Judicial Administrator in the LA Superior Court, chief of staff to the Deputy Secretary of Labor in the Clinton
Administration, and a teacher at Edison Junior High in south LA.
De La Torre received his Bachelor’s Degree in Diplomacy and World
Affairs from Occidental College and attended the Elliot School of International Affairs at The George Washington University. He
lives in South Gate.
With the
addition of Mr. De La Torre, the Company’s Board of
Directors has expanded from seven to eight members, which also reflects the recent addition of John “Jay” D.
Nichols, Jr.

Exhibit 99.2
Glass House Brands Announces Court Dismissal of Catalyst Lawsuit
LONG BEACH,
CA and TORONTO, July 22, 2024 -
Glass House Brands Inc. (“Glass House” or the “Company”) (CBOE CA: GLAS.A.U) (CBOE CA: GLAS.WT.U) (OTCQX: GLASF)
(OTCQX: GHBWF), one of the fastest-growing, vertically integrated cannabis companies in the U.S., announced today that a civil complaint
against the Company has been dismissed with prejudice and judgment has been entered in the Company’s favor.
On June 25,
2024, the Superior Court of California (Los Angeles County) dismissed a lawsuit (Case 23LBCV01025) filed by 562 Discount Med Inc. (doing
business as Catalyst Cannabis Co.) against Glass House for unfair competition. The Court granted Glass House’s motion for judgment
on the pleadings with prejudice, finding that a requested injunction to halt the alleged illegal sales would “assume the functions
of an administrative agency, or to interfere with the functions of an administrative agency,” and the enforcement of any injunction
would be “overly burdensome.” On July 15, 2024, the Court entered a judgment in Glass House’s favor, awarding
costs against the plaintiff and concluding the case.
In an earlier
press release dated May 20, 2024, Glass House announced it was
voluntarily dismissing without prejudice its defamation lawsuit against Catalyst Cannabis Co., citing serious concerns about Catalyst’s
financial viability, which could render a judgment worthless, and harassment threats by Catalyst to Glass House’s customers, and
its customers’ customers.
