Zona Energy Principal Shareholders Purchase Controlling Interest in OrgHarvest for $50 Million
LAS VEGAS, Dec. 10, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NetworkWire – OrgHarvest, Inc., “OrgHarvest” or the “Company” (OTCMKTS: ORGH), the first U.S. based cannabis cultivation company to achieve a Regulation A+ qualification, announced today that the Company has signed a binding agreement to sell controlling interest in the Company to the principal shareholders of Texas-based, Zona Energy, Inc., for $50M.
“Just before the Thanksgiving holiday, I received approval from our Board of Directors to move forward with a binding agreement, that would transfer controlling interest of OrgHarvest to First Seed Farms, Inc. and First Seed International, Inc. – the controlling shareholders of Zona Energy, Inc. – for $50 million,” stated Frank Celecia, CEO of OrgHarvest. “We believe this could be a major opportunity for OrgHarvest as the ultimate relationship would be with Zona Energy, who is set to do some very interesting things within the cannabis and hemp marketplace.”
The acquisition will be made in an all stock purchase, where controlling interest of OrgHarvest is being transferred to First Seed Farms, Inc. and First Seed International, Inc. for $50M in their Zona Energy, Inc. common stock holdings. Management suggests that with the support of Zona Energy and its principals, there would potentially be greater interest in ramping up funding to the Company.
While the closing is scheduled for month-end, December 2019, it is highly anticipated that the transaction will come to fruition timely. This would inevitably fast track the potential of the Company’s business model and should position OrgHarvest to become a major player within the cannabis and hemp industries, as a U.S. based cultivation operation.
Mr. Celecia concluded, “We are pleased that Zona Energy’s principals identified OrgHarvest as the most suitable Company for them to pursue their cannabis and hemp endeavors with. We will work diligently to make this venture a huge success and will continue to provide shareholders with updates pertaining to this transaction and its overall value proposition.”

TruCrowd Services Clients OrgHarvest and QwikLeaf Make Strides Admid House Judiciary Committees MORE Act
GlobeNewswire GlobeNewswire•December 9, 2019
CHICAGO, IL, Dec. 09, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE – TruCrowd Services, LLC., a specialized provider of digital marketing strategies and marketing services for Regulation A (Reg A+) and Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) ventures, announced today, that on the heels of the House Judiciary Committee passing H.R. 3884, the MORE Act (Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act) QwikLeaf and OrgHarvest Inc. (ORGH) have made tremendous strides – both in operations and their leveraging of the JOBS Act – Title III and Title IV (Reg. CF and Reg. A+, respectively).
When asked to comment on the MORE Act, Frank Celecia, CEO of the first U.S. based cannabis cultivation company to qualify with the SEC for the Reg. A+ said, “the fact that the House Judiciary Committee overwhelmingly voted 24-10 to pass this Act, shows the progress being made in the U.S. cannabis industry. I believe we’re at the forefront of the most efficient way to grow cannabis. And, with our patents for certain agricultural biotechnology which protects the healthy growth of cannabis plants, I am very confident that our contribution to the U.S. cannabis marketplace will help to solidify a prosperous future for OrgHarvest.”
Neil Biafore, CEO of QwikLeaf, an innovator of the click and collect platform for cannabis, commented this regarding the MORE Act, “Marijuana and cannabis reform is directly in-front of us. The investment into the industry, as well as what this could do for those with past cannabis convictions would be incredible. If the U.S. Senate sees the same opportunity that the House of Representatives just saw, then we are truly on the cusp of changing history and I believe our QwikCollect platform will swiftly expand out of Michigan and across the country.”
The offerings for both companies can be found on the cannabis-focused securities crowdfunding portal, Fundanna. Fundanna.com is the home to such Reg. CF successes like Transatlantic Real Estate – exceeding $1M in capital raised, 420 Real Estate – currently $30k shy of exceeding $1M in committed capital, and one of the industry's larger Marijuana Social Networks, CannaSOS.
As previously announced, OrgHarvest secured licenses for Rhamnolipid Liposomes patents to help prevent diseases which currently plague cannabis and hemp plants, after entering into a license agreement with Keith DeSanto of Rhamnolipid Inc. QwikLeaf formed a partnership with Green Retail Ventures allowing for the creation of 10 recreational cannabis stores powered by QwikLeaf’s QwikCollect platform across Michigan.
Sean Fuellhart, Chief Operating Officer of TruCrowd Services, stated, “Companies like OrgHarvest and QwikLeaf make the marketing of Reg. CF and Reg. A+ cannabis offerings exciting. Whether the issuer is raising up to $1.07M on Reg. CF or up to $20M (Tier 1) and/or $50M (Tier 2) with Reg. A+, we believe that these cannabis businesses, with their patents, licenses and partnerships, will ultimately do very well in both their capital raises as well as ventures and TruCrowd Services is pleased to be marketing their offerings.”
Management does anticipate that additional updates will soon follow from both OrgHarvest and QwikLeaf on their current and future operations.
