LAS VEGAS, May 10, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Player’s Network, Inc. (OTCQB:PNTV), a leading diversified and integrated cannabis holding
company, announced today that it entered into a binding Letter of Intent to acquire the assets of a 56,000 sq. ft. fully
operational greenhouse complex licensed for cannabis cultivation in Salinas Valley California.
The purchase price for the complex is $5,000,000 in cash to be paid out in tranches based on a payment schedule
over several months and is estimated to close before the end of May. The purchased assets will include the facility, its
temporary marijuana licenses that ultimately will be transferred to a PNTV subsidiary, fixed assets, all existing inventory, plus
supplies and business plans and relationships.
PNTV CEO Mark Bradley stated, “Earlier this year we announced that we were going to invest into the California
market through a project in Desert Hot Springs. We have tabled that development for now due to its long payback period and other
risk factors. However, by signaling publicly our interest in California, we were able to discover other acquisition targets in what
we believe is the best region to cultivate marijuana in the entire nation. The Salinas Valley offers the perfect climate to
cultivate year-round with very modest utility and infrastructure costs. We believe this acquisition will produce immediate
and ongoing returns that will push PNTV to new heights.
This greenhouse is pristine and has a great existing operational team and sales channels that we plan to retain
and build upon.”
PNTV CFO Geoffrey Lawrence stated, “We estimate that this facility will generate about $800,000 in total revenue
for the month of May based on its existing track record and PNTV will be able to recognize those revenues starting May 1, per the
negotiated agreement. We certainly hope to grow those revenues even further and plan for this acquisition to be the first of
many fully operational cultivation facilities to join the PNTV family. We have spent the past several months engaged in
comprehensive strategic planning to develop our new, cohesive growth strategy and this acquisition will be the crown jewel.
We couldn’t be happier.”
