Grown Rogue International Inc. (“Grown Rogue” or the “Company”) (CSE: GRIN) (OTC: GRUSF), a multi-state cannabis company with operations and assets in Oregon and Michigan, announced today that its partner, Canopy Management, LLC (“Canopy”), has acquired a 60% controlling interest in Golden Harvests, LLC (“Golden Harvests”). Canopy is controlled by Grown Rogue’s chief executive officer, Obie Strickler (“Strickler”). In order to expedite regulatory approvals, Canopy obtained the option to acquire 60% ownership of Golden Harvests and signed a new agreement under materially similar terms to the previous option agreement with GR Michigan, LLC. Simultaneously, Strickler provided Grown Rogue Unlimited, LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) a right to acquire 87% of the membership units of Canopy pending state and regulatory approval. Canopy filed all of the necessary paperwork and has received both local and state approval to purchase the 60% controlling interest of Golden Harvests. It is expected that Grown Rogue Unlimited, LLC will exercise its option to acquire 87% of the membership units of Canopy by the end of 2021.
