ESCONDIDO, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 10, 2017) - MARIJUANA COMPANY OF AMERICA INC. (" MCOA " or the " Company ") (
Pursuant to the terms of the letter of intent and subject to the Companies obtaining sufficient financing, the Companies will invest US$2.5 Million in exchange for a 25% equity interest in Space Cowboys. The investment funds will be used to expand Space Cowboys' cultivation operation.
Space Cowboys is in its fourth year of operation and is in full compliance with Colorado state law and the Colorado Department of Agriculture. The business consists of both indoor and outdoor cultivation of highly concentrated CBD hemp on properties located in Longmont and Loveland, Colorado. Space Cowboys' current hemp crops will be harvested in the latter part of October and prepared for extraction of the high-value cannabinoids.
In addition to the potential revenue streams generated from Space Cowboys' ongoing high cannabinoid hemp production, this Joint Venture will provide the opportunity to be a part of a legal operation with the extensive knowledge and experience required to cultivate and process industrial hemp into raw cannabinoids. For MCOA, it will also provide a consistent cannabinoid supply from a known source and trusted partner for its hempSMART™ product line. This will also enable Global Hemp Group to develop its Hemp Agro-Industrial Zone concept.
"MCOA has always been interested in developing hemp farms and processing here in the United States. By initiating this Joint Venture, the Company will accomplish this objective along with securing its supply chain of raw cannabinoids. It is an important step in the continued development of the hempSMART brand, which distributes a hemp-based Cannabinoid product line," said CEO, Donald Steinberg.
The transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, completion of satisfactory due diligence, entry into a definitive agreement and receipt of any necessary regulatory approvals.
