Bright Green acquired 25% of Alterola’s issued and outstanding common stock

Acquisition will support Bright Green’s ability to manufacture and distribute federally compliant, pharmaceutical-grade cannabis and derivatives

Acquisition of remaining Alterola stock anticipated over coming months

GRANTS, N.M., Oct. 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bright Green Corporation (NASDAQ: BGXX) (“Bright Green” or “the Company”), one of the very few companies selected by the U.S. government to grow, manufacture, and sell, legally under federal and state laws, cannabis and cannabis-related products for research, pharmaceutical applications and affiliated export, today announced that it has completed its previously announced strategic partnership and acquisition of 25% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Alterola Biotech Inc. (OTC PINK:ABTI), a U.K.-based pharmaceutical company focused on developing cannabinoid and cannabinoid-like medicines and products, for total consideration of $4 million.

Bright Green may exercise its option to purchase Alterola’s remaining issued and outstanding common stock over the coming months for a total enterprise value of $50 million with the balance to be paid in a combination of cash and Bright Green common stock.

“Today’s announcement is the first stage of a long-term partnership with Alterola,” said Bright Green’s Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman of the Board, Terry Rafih. “This announcement – which follows the recent site visit by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration to our world-class agricultural complex in Grants, New Mexico – enables us to leverage Alterola’s extensive knowledge, sector experience and pharmaceutical assets to help us more efficiently scale our operations and harness the therapeutic benefits of their cannabinoid and cannabinoid-like medicines.”

“We are excited about the partnership with Bright Green,” said Alterola’s Executive Chairman, Tim Rogers. “Our organizations share a common mission to harness the therapeutic potential of pharmaceutical-grade cannabis-based medicines. We look forward to helping Bright Green – particularly at this important period in the company’s trajectory – to accelerate the pharmaceutical development and commercialization of these important products. The Bright Green facility in New Mexico and the opportunity to advance pharmaceutical-grade cannabis and cannabis-related products for research complements and allows both companies to accelerate the development of their respective pipelines.”
