Agritek Holdings, Inc. Announces Execution of Term Sheet for Cash Infusion of Up to $2.5 Million Dollars from Private Banking Partner and Equity Line for Expansion of Multi-State Cannabis Operations

LOS ANGELES, CA, June 20, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE – Agritek Holdings, Inc. (OTC: AGTK) , a fully integrated, active real estate investor for the cannabis sector and consultant for multiple cannabis brands, today announced that the Company has executed a term sheet and approved funding for up to $2,500,000 in cash through a private banking partner for expansion of its cannabis operations in Puerto Rico and Colorado. The new cash infusion will be in the form of an Equity Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement allowing the Company access to capital on an as needed basis, and to further eliminate debt and retire toxic financing notes on the Company’s balance sheet.

The Agreement provides Agritek Holdings with up to two and a half million dollars for general corporate and working capital purposes. Pursuant thereto, Agritek Holdings will file a Registration Statement with the SEC to register shares of Common Stock with the right but not the obligation to direct the lender, by periodically delivering a Notice, to purchase shares at an agreed strike price against the equity line for the $2,500,000.

“The Company’s greatly improved balance sheet with the recent purchase and ownership of our 15,000 sq. ft. licensed manufacturing and cultivation facility in San Juan, Puerto Rico as a $1.5M appraised real estate asset is yet another milestone of the implementation of its strategy to become a reorganized and fully reporting public company with meaningful assets creating multiple revenue streams. The availability of over $2,000,000 for expansion of our existing and new operations through the equity line will help pay off remaining toxic debt and improve our market valuation and cap table,” stated CEO Neil Mundie

“I’m very confident that our shareholders will be rewarded in the near future and our company will continue to thrive through our long-term strategy. The proceeds of the new cash infusion through equity instead of debt financing will provide us with the capital to accelerate our growth strategy, as well as push us forward through the planned up-listing of our shares to a national exchange. We expect to immediately begin to receive rental income from our licensed partners on our real estate holdings as well as through the recent launch of our CBD brand “Chillo” gummies, water enhancers and edibles in Puerto Rico and convenience stores throughout the states,” further stated Mundie.
