Commenting on Pharmagreen's progress, Peter Wojcik, President and CEO of Pharmagreen Biotech, Inc., (OTC PINKS: PHBI),the parent of its Canadian subsidiary, WFS Pharmagreen Inc., stated, "Our business plan is being rolled out as expected and this is an important and pivotal step in continuing to move the Health Canada cannabis licensing process ahead for the company along with its construction of the one of kind Cannabis Biotech Complex."

On January 29, 2019, the Company announced the finalization of the definitive agreement Pharmagreen to acquire an equity interest up to 30% in Pharmagreen's subsidiary BC Ltd. the entity which will build and operate the Cannabis Biotech Complex on the 25-acre property near Mission in British Colombia. This definitive agreement solidifies the terms of the Binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") between Pharmagreen and Alliance which was first reported on December 28, 2017.

"The rapid advancement of the licensing process with Health Canada has encouraged additional investment in Alliance by way of a private placement with a lead order of 2 million units to be announced in the coming days" commented Dennis Petke, President and CEO of Alliance Growers. "The Company's commitment to acquire a 30% equity and profit-sharing interest in the Cannabis Biotech Complex has also attracted the interest of a Family Office out of New York with an offer to finance Alliance for up to CAD$4,000,000. The finalized terms, which will be announced in the following week, will provide the financing in several tranches at progressively higher prices over several months to keep dilution to a minimum. We are very pleased to have secured multiple financing sources to meet our financial obligations to finance our 30% interest in the Cannabis Biotech Complex. Pharmagreen is expected to announce its own financing initiatives in the coming weeks" Dennis Petke added.

Alliance Growers has invested $1,350,000 toward the Transaction to date, representing an initial 10% equity and profit-sharing interest in the Cannabis Biotech Complex, based on the original estimated construction costs. Alliance Growers has the option to acquire up to 30% of the Complex based on actual final Construction and Equipment Costs. The Parties agreed to enter into an addendum to this Agreement by June 30, 2019 (the "Addendum"), setting out the terms of the final Purchase Price for 30% of the Complex minus the $1,350,000 already paid.
