Sugarmade Announces Initial Investment in Hempistry and Completion of BZRTH Audit

MONROVIA, California, July 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Sugarmade, Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD), a major supplier to the growing hydroponic cultivation and hemp sectors, today provides an update to its investors relative to two important topics – Status of its investments in Kentucky-based hemp cultivator, Hempistry, Inc. and on the status of its pending acquisition of hydronic cultivation supplier, BZRTH, Inc. ("BZRTH").

Sugarmade announces BZRTH, which is a target acquisition of the Company, completed its audits for previous financial periods. The Company is announcing this audit completion because it believes the completion of the audit is material to the overall process of closing on the BZRTH acquisition, with the closing of the audit being required for the closing of the BZRTH acquisition. While, the Company has taken significant steps toward the closing of BZRTH transaction, overall progress was dependent on: 1) the completion of the BZRTH audit, and 2) availability of funds to close the transaction. Thus far, approximately $1,000,000 has been paid toward closing. The financing plan centered on the filing and effectiveness of a registration statement on SEC Form S-1. The S-1 registration statement was filled on June 26, 2019 and became effective on July 18, 2019.

"The closing of the BZRTH audit provides Sugarmade with several more options for growth and our recently effective S-1 filing open doors for financing options," commented Company CEO, Jimmy Chan. "We are analyzing several of these options in order to select the path for greatest shareholder maximization. We are also pleased to report we have made an initial investment in hemp cultivator Hempistry where Sugarmade will have a direct participation in the profits from this year's hemp crop.  Operations in Kentucky are well underway."

Sugarmade also announces the first round of closings relative to its proposed investments in Hempistry, Inc ("Hempistry"). Late last year, the Company announced it had secured an option to invest up to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in privately held Hempistry, which began legal hemp cultivation in Western Kentucky last year and is continuing with cultivation this year. Sugarmade exercised its right to begin such investments via its first tranche investment of $190,000 allowing it to receive twelve percent (12%) of the profits of Hempistry's biomass and converted distillate or isolate cannabidiol (CBD) for the 2019 farming season.
