Agritek Holdings, Inc. Announces Filing of Annual

LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 5, 2017) - Agritek Holdings, Inc. ( OTCQB : AGTK ), today announced that the company has successfully filed its 10K Annual Report and has signed and executed an initial Letter of Intent and is completing the final Funding and Operational Agreement with the principals of a new 25,000 sq. ft. facility with initial approval for a cultivation license by the Department of Health In Puerto Rico. Under the terms of the Agreement, Agritek will be the exclusive consultant and operations partner for the cultivation and manufacturing operation, providing funding, infrastructure build out and cultivation experts from California and Colorado for one of the largest operations on the island near San Juan. The Company expects to complete the agreement later this month and has confirmed funds necessary to complete the build out through its present investment banking partners.

B. Michael Friedman, Chief Executive Officer of Agritek Holdings, Inc., stated, "I believe that Puerto Rico will prove itself over the very near term to be a newly emerging and extremely viable marketplace for the medicinal cannabis sector. Similar to Nevada before the recreational vote, Puerto Rico seeks to allow patients from all regulated jurisdictions holding a medical card to purchase medicinal cannabis through retail dispensaries. Our partner cultivation facility in San Juan is located within minutes to where most of the cruise ships dock weekly with thousands of tourists visiting on a daily basis. Our proximity to retail dispensaries in old San Juan, and surrounding areas will make this one of the largest and most profitable enterprises in the area's cannabis sector in my opinion."

The twenty-five thousand (25,000) square foot facility will initially be set up in stages for cannabis cultivation and extraction of oils. A facility of this size, could yield between six and eight million dollars in revenue ($6,000,000-$8,000,000) its first year of operation. Agritek Holdings as a Company will receive revenues from rent, consulting fees, equipment leasing and providing exclusive licensing of vapor devices, cartridges, atomizers and edible brands. The Company presently owns and is developing its eighty (80) acre property in Pueblo, Colorado, along with releasing its California Premiums pre-roll brand this month through its exclusive manufacturing partner and facility in California.
