Bright Green Corporation announces exclusive partnership with Asia Capital Pioneers Group to present new EB-5 offering
November 16 2023 - 9:00AM
Bright Green Corporation (BGXX) (“BGXX”, “Bright Green” or the
“Company”) today announced the Company’s new alliance with Asia
Capital Pioneers Group Inc. (“ACPG”), an Asia-based investment firm
with global investments within high growth industries. ACPG will be
BGXX’s exclusive Asia partner, connecting the Company with
investors that fulfill the requirements for permanent U.S.
residency via an EB-5 Investment Visa in the Asia-Pacific region.
BGXX has an EB-5 investment project application
on file with United States Citizenship and Immigration Services
(“USCIS”) that projects the creation of enough jobs in a designated
rural area to support up to 716 investors. Each investor will be
required to invest $880,000 under the EB-5 investment project.
BGXX’s designated rural project qualifies EB-5 investors for faster
green card approval because of U.S. law preferences towards rural
projects, including green card quota, government processing times
and a lowered investment requirement. The parties believe that they
will be able to complete a full capital raise of over $500 million
to accommodate the construction of advanced agricultural growing
facilities as defined in the BGXX US Citizenship and Immigration
Services petitions.
The partnership comes in conjunction with Bright
Green’s new EB-5 offering of 100,000 shares at a price of $8.80 per
share and an initial 3-year lockup. The new program was proposed
following the Company’s termination of its relationship with a
rented regional center. The Company has since established Regional
Center Bright Green to manage the processing of the EB-5
investments.
Bright Green’s CEO, Groovy Singh, spoke openly
about his optimism for the opportunity the partnership will
provide. “After 20 years forming deep connections with countless
companies and funds within the Asia markets, I feel the partnership
with ACPG is a phenomenal opportunity for Bright Green to present
our new EB-5 offering to our Asia-based constituents”, Singh said
Wednesday, “We look forward to opening access to this new evolution
of pharmaceuticals across the globe.”
The move comes in support of Bright Green’s
application for expansion of its cannabis business to now include
the production of additional controlled substances in full
compliance with state and federal laws. In preparation for upcoming
government inspections, Bright Green’s Grants, New Mexico facility
is undergoing the necessary changes to accommodate the expansion
plans. Government inspections are expected to be conducted over the
next month.
If Bright Green is able to secure approvals for
these additional controlled substances, management believes it will
put the Company in a position to capitalize on the recent support
shown from U.S. Congress to eliminate the risks of foreign
importation of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (“APIs”) in favor
of manufacturing and distributing APIs within the U.S. Speaking on
behalf of the Company, Mr. Singh stated that the capital Bright
Green plans to raise from its new EB-5 program and partnership with
ACPG will be used to apply to further expand the Company’s Board of
Pharmacy licenses and DEA registrations to include production,
manufacturing, and sale of additional plant-based drugs and
APIs.
According to the Food and Drug Administration,
approximately 72 percent of APIs used in the U.S. drug supply chain
are manufactured in more than 150 countries. Mr. Singh said, “We’re
confident that it is in the best interests of the U.S. to support
our efforts to supply APIs made with consistent, safe materials—and
where all production and manufacturing is conducted within the
U.S.—to eliminate the supply chain risks that became evident during
the pandemic, and mitigate concerns that drugs manufactured outside
the U.S. may not always share similar standards and
priorities.”
Once the facility expansion is complete and
approvals for the additional substances is obtained, BGXX will have
access to the established API market currently served by imports,
estimated to be a $5 billion market by 2025. “Drugs made in
America” is well supported by the U.S. Congress and creates a huge
opportunity for the Company.
