MJ Holdings Buys Back 20 Million Common Shares, Raises Over $5.5M
Las Vegas, NV -- April 17, 2019 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Las
Vegas-based MJ Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: MJNE) (the “Company”) a
diversified, publicly-traded holding company providing complete
seed-to-sale services to the regulated cannabis industry, announces
that it has privately raised $5,565,000 since late March of this
year.
In February,
the Company was able to repurchase 20,000,000 issued and
outstanding shares of its common stock for a total of $20,000. The
shares originally were issued in December of 2017 in conjunction
with the Company’s reverse merger with Red Earth, LLC. Red Earth is
the holder of the Company’s City of Las Vegas Marijuana Cultivation
License.
Terrence Tierney, the Company’s CAO, stated: “Our largest
shareholder made a selfless decision to show their belief in the
future of the Company by selling shares back to us at their
original cost, which enabled us to resell some of those shares for
more than $5,000,000 without any dilution to our existing
shareholders.” He went on to say: “In fact, the transaction
is anti-dilutive as we have increased our cash on hand while
reducing the number of issued and outstanding shares of our common
stock.” The Company has commitments for additional funding from
shareholders and expects to close this round of financing on April
26th.
A portion of the funds will be utilized to build out an
additional, three-acre facility in the Amargosa Valley - thereby
doubling the Company’s hybrid-mesh cultivation system to more than
240,000 sq. ft. and, thus, enabling us to grow approximately 15,000
marijuana plants in 2019. The Company now has sufficient cash to
fully-implement its business plan for this year.
“We are excited that we can continue to grow the Company and
launch our new initiatives, including our state-of-the-art cannabis
genetics labs,” commented Company CEO Paris Balaouras. The Company
also will use some of the proceeds to build out a portion of its
Las Vegas facility to operate a seed genetics lab to produce high
quality marijuana seeds and clones, and also will build a hemp seed
production facility in Amargosa.
Mr. Balaouras further stated: “With our pending acquisition of a
Nevada marijuana production license, we expect to be able to
increase exponentially our gross margins: by not being forced to
outsource processing; and by producing our own seeds and extracting
our own oil we will generate tremendous cost savings over last
year.”
The March 2019 infusion of growth investment was led by a group
from the Carolinas who also have engaged the Company to lead their
vertically-integrated entry into the medical cannabis market when
it becomes legal in that state. It is hoped that the South Carolina
legislature will affirmatively vote on the pending Compassionate
Care Act and pave the way for medical marijuana to be available
beginning in 2020.
