Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On April 2, 2019, Extracting Point, LLC (“ Extracting Point ”), a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of Generation Alpha, Inc. (the “ Company ”), entered into a loan agreement (the “ Loan Agreement ”) with Michael Cannon and Jennifer Cannon, Trustees of the Core 4 Trust Dated February 29, 2016 (the “ Lender ”), pursuant to which Extracting Point borrowed $3,500,000 from the Lender (the “ Loan ”). The Loan is evidenced by an installment note – interest included (the “ Note ”), guaranteed by the Company pursuant to a corporate guaranty (the “ Guaranty ”) and is secured by a first priority lien on the Property (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to a deed of trust and assignment of rents between Extracting Point and Thomas Title & Escrow, for the benefit of the Lender (the “ Deed of Trust ”). Extracting Point used the net proceeds from the Loan to acquire the Property.
The Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest, is due and payable on March 31, 2024 (the “ Maturity Date ”). Interest on the Note will accrue at the rate of 10% per annum. For the first 12 months, Extracting Point shall pay the Lender interest only of $29,166.67 per month. After the first 12 months, Extracting Point shall pay the Lender principal and interest of $88,769.04 per month. Extracting Point has the right to prepay the Note at any time, however, Extracting Point agreed to pay the first 36 months of interest, even if the Note is repaid prior to that date.
As additional consideration for the issuance of the Loan, Extracting Point and the Company agreed to pay the Lender an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the management fees (the “ Management Royalty ”) received relating to the services rendered on the Property, for a period of three years from the date an “Approval to Operate” is granted by the Arizona Department of Health Services (such date, the “ Commencement Date ”). In the event that the Commencement Date has not occurred on or prior to April 2, 2021, then Extracting Point and the Company agreed to pay the Lender an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the fair market value of the rent of the Property as if the Property was fully occupied (the “ Rental Royalty ”), such payments to be made each month for a period of thirty-six months, provided, that, if the Commencement Date occurs after the Rental Royalty has commenced, the Rental Royalty payments shall cease and the Management Royalty payments shall commence, and any amounts paid as a Rental Royalty shall be credited against any Management Royalty owed.
In connection with the Loan, the Company issued to the Lender a warrant (the “ Warrant ”) to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, exercisable for five years from issuance at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The Warrant exercise price is subject to adjustment only in the event of a stock dividend or split. The Warrant issued in connection with the Loan was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506) under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities laws, which exempt transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. The Lender is an “accredited investors” as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. This Current Report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall such securities be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements and certificates evidencing such securities contain a legend stating the same.
The foregoing descriptions of the Loan Agreement, Note, Guaranty, Deed of Trust and Warrant are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan Agreement, Note, Guaranty, Deed of Trust and Warrant, which are incorporated by reference as exhibits 10.01, 10.02, 10.03, 10.04 and 10.05 respectively, hereto.

A. | Commencing from April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020 , Borrower shall make interest only payment of $29,166.67 per month on the first date of each month beginning on April 1, 2019. | |
B. | Commencing from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2024 , Borrower shall make monthly payment of Principal and interest in the amount of $88,769.04 on the first date of each month beginning on April 1, 2020. Each payment shall be credited first on interest then due and the remainder on principal. | |

This Guaranty is made effective as of April 2, 2019, by the undersigned (hereinafter referred to as the “Guarantor”), for the benefit of MICHAEL CANNON AND JENNIFER CANNON, TRUSTEES OF THE CORE 4 TRUST DATED FEBRUARY 29, 2016 (hereinafter “Lender”).
EXTRACTION POINT, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Borrower”) owes Lender the sum of THREE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($3,500,000.00) pursuant to the Loan Documents as defined in the Loan Agreement of even date herewith (“Loan Agreement”) between Lender and Borrower and evidenced by the Installment Note- Interest Included as of even date (“Note”). Guarantor is the sole member of Borrower. Guarantor agrees that it will derive a significant financial benefit from Lender loaning funds to Borrower and has agreed to guaranty the loan from Borrower to Lender. Contemporaneously upon execution of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall also issue the Warrant as defined in the Loan Agreement. In order to induce Lender to make the loan to Borrower, the Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
1. The Guarantor unconditionally guarantees the due and punctual payment and performance of the principal of the Loan Documents whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, to Lender including, without limitation, any and all interest and expenses (including attorneys’ fees whether or not suit is filed), court costs and charges of whatsoever nature incurred by Lender in collecting or compromising the indebtedness evidenced by the Note (collectively, the “Obligations”).
2. The Guarantor, by this Guaranty, binds itself, its officers, directors, legal representatives, successors and assigns, with Borrower for the payment of the Obligations, the same as if the Guarantor had contracted for payment thereof rather than Borrower. The Guarantor, for itself, its successors and assigns agrees to be bound by and to perform and observe all of the terms and conditions contained in any written documents evidencing the Obligations, including the Loan Documents, whether now signed or hereafter signed by Borrower. Guarantor hereby waives: (a) any right to require Lender to proceed against Borrower or any other guarantors of the Obligations; (b) any right to require Lender to proceed against or exhaust any security for the Obligations; (c) any right to raise the defense of the Statute of Limitations in any action hereunder or for the collection of any indebtedness or the performance of any obligation hereby guaranteed; (d) any right to require, demand, protest, or receive notice of any kind including presentment, demand for performance or notice of non-performance, notice of dishonor, notice of existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of Borrower, Lender, any endorser, or guarantor, under this Guaranty or any other instrument or creditor of Borrower, or any other person whomsoever, in connection with any obligation or evidence of indebtedness hereby guaranteed; (e) any right to raise any defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender, or which destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of Guarantor or the right of Guarantor to proceed against Borrower for reimbursement, or both; (f) any right to impose any duty on the part of Lender to disclose to Guarantor any facts it may now or hereafter know about Borrower, regardless of whether Lender has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Guarantor or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Guarantors, it being understood and agreed that the Guarantor is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of non-payment or non-performance of the Obligations hereby guaranteed; and (g) the right to receive notice of acceptance of this Guaranty.
3. Guarantor further agrees that if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by Lender to any of the Obligations is or must be rescinded or returned by Lender for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower), or if the Note is declared void or voidable under any applicable law, statute, rule or regulations, whether federal, state or local, such Obligations shall, for the purposes of this Guaranty, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by Lender and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Obligations, all as though such application by Lender had not been made.
4. This Guaranty shall in all respects be a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional Guaranty of payment and performance of the Obligations and shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been paid in full, provided, however, it shall be automatically extended if any payment is reclaimed as set forth above until Guarantor pays Lender the amount reclaimed or the amount is otherwise paid to Lender and is not subject to further reclamation. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect following payment of the Note.
5. Lender, may, from time to time, whether before or after any discontinuance of this Guaranty, at its sole discretion and without notice to the Guarantor, take any or all of the following actions without releasing or otherwise affecting Guarantor’s liability hereunder: (a) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligation of any obligor or obligors, in addition to the Guarantor, with respect to any of the Obligations; (b) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter, amend, expand, modify or exchange any of the Obligations at the request of any person primarily liable for the Obligations, or release or compromise any of the Obligations, or any other obligation of any nature of any other obligor with respect to any of the Obligations; and (c) release or substitute any one or more of any endorser, surety, obligor or guarantor of the Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the foregoing, Lender acknowledges and agrees that this Guaranty shall not grant Lender any security interest in any property of Guarantor, other than Guarantor’s ownership of the membership interests on Borrower, to secure any of the Obligations.
6. This Guaranty is a Guaranty of payment and performance, not collection, and Lender, without notice or demand, may resort to and initiate legal action against Guarantor for payment of any of the Obligations or performance of any covenant or agreement contained in the Loan Documents whether or not Lender shall have resorted to any property or instruments securing any of the Obligations or shall have sought a deficiency judgment against Borrower or shall have proceeded against any other guarantor or any other obligor primarily or secondarily obligated with respect to any of the Obligations or such performance.
- 2 - |
7. Any amounts received by Lender from whatsoever source on account of the Obligations may be applied by it toward the payment of such of the Obligations, and in order of application, as Lender may from time to time elect; and, notwithstanding any payments made by or for the account of the Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty, Guarantor shall have no right to subrogation until all indebtedness due to Lender from Borrower has been paid in full and until such time, Guarantor hereby waives any right to enforce any remedy which Lender now has or may hereafter have against Borrower, and waive any benefit of, and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by Lender. Any indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter held by Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the indebtedness and obligations of Borrower guaranteed hereby by Guarantor; and if an event of default under the Note shall have occurred and is continuing, any such indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor shall be collected, enforced and received by Guarantor as trustee for the Lender, and, if Lender so requests, be paid over to Lender in payment of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.
8. No delay on the part of Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by Lender of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy; nor shall any modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty be binding upon Lender except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered on behalf of Lender. No action of Lender permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair the rights of Lender or the obligation of the Guarantor under this Guaranty. For the purposes of this Guaranty, the Obligations shall include all obligations of Borrower to Lender, notwithstanding any right or power of Borrower or anyone else to assert any claim or defense as to the invalidity or unenforceability of any such Obligation and no such claim or defense shall affect or impair the Obligations of the Guarantors hereunder.
9. Guarantor is the sole member of Borrower, and shall be directly benefited by the Note which obligations are guaranteed hereby. Guarantor represents and warrants, for the reliance and benefit of Lender, that it has received adequate consideration for the provision of this Guaranty and the issuance of the Warrant.
10. This Guaranty shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Nevada. This Guaranty shall be a joint and several obligation with any other guarantor or surety of the Obligations. The undersigned shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder.
11. Wherever possible, each provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty.
- 3 - |
12. It is not necessary for Lender to inquire into the powers of Guarantor or the members or managers or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any of the Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.
13. Guarantor hereby agrees to pay upon demand any collection expenses, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees (whether or not suit is commenced) which may be incurred in the collection or enforcement of the Loan Documents, and in the event suit is brought to enforce payment hereof, that such expenses, costs and fees be determined by a court sitting without a jury. The term “attorneys’ fees” shall include any such fees incurred in any bankruptcy, appellate or related ancillary or supplementary proceeding, whether before or after final judgment related to the enforcement or defense of this Guaranty.
14. This Guaranty shall apply to the parties hereto, their successors and assigns according to the context hereof, and without regard to the number or gender of words or expressions used herein. This Guaranty may be executed in duplicate originals, each of which is equally admissible in evidence, and each original shall fully bind each party who has executed it.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
GENERATION ALPHA, INC.
Warrant Shares: 1,000,000 | Issue Date: April 2, 2019 |
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “ Warrant ”) certifies that, for value received, Michael Cannon and Jennifer Cannon, Trustees of The Core 4 Trust Dated February 29, 2016, or its assigns (the “ Holder ”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after April 2, 2019 (the “ Initial Exercise Date ”), to subscribe for and purchase from Generation Alpha, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), at the purchase price of the Exercise Price as defined in Section 2(b) per one share of Common Stock:
Section 1 . Definitions . Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Loan Agreement (the “ Loan Agreement ”), dated April 2, 2019, by and among the Company, Extraction Point, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company and the Holder.
Section 2 . Exercise .
a) Exercise of Warrant . Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before April 2, 2024 by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and within three (3) Trading Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank.
No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has received all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in issuances of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares issued. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares issued and the date of such issuances. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
b) Exercise Price . The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $ 1.00, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “ Exercise Price ”).
c) Mechanics of Exercise .
i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise . Warrant Shares issued hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“ DWAC ”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”). The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid.
ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise . If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
iii. No Fractional Shares or Scrip . No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
iv. Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided , however , that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

d) Holder’s Exercise Limitations . The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of this Section 2(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Holder acknowledges that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(d) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
Section 3 . Certain Adjustments .
a) Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
b) Calculations . All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
c) Notice to Holder .
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price . Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

Exhibit 99.01
Generation Alpha Launches into the Legal U.S. Medical Cannabis Industry with the Purchase of an Arizona Property to be Used as a Cultivation and Processing Facility
CARSON, CA - GlobeNewswire – April 8, 2019 – Generation Alpha, Inc. (OTCQB: GNAL ) (“Generation Alpha” or the “Company”), a vertically integrated cannabis technology innovator, manufacturer and distributor, announces the closing of a significant transaction for the Company with the purchase of an approximately 46,000 sq. ft. facility in Phoenix, Arizona. This facility comes with an already- approved Special Use Permit (SUP) for the cultivation and processing of medical cannabis in the State of Arizona and is ideally located less than 10 miles from Phoenix’s Sky Harbor International Airport.
In 2018, Generation Alpha acquired an Arizona-based company to provide turn-key services for the management, administration and operation of a medical marijuana cultivation and processing facility, on behalf of an entity duly authorized and licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services. After terminating, earlier this year, the commercial lease for another property in Arizona, which the Company intended to serve as its cultivation and extraction facility, the Company decided to purchase this facility for $3.5 million, which will allow for future improvements to flow directly through to the Company’s balance sheet.
Alan Lien, Generation Alpha’s Chief Executive Officer, commented;
“This is an incredible deal for Generation Alpha. This facility, which has been locally permitted for medical cannabis cultivation and processing, will allow us to fast track operations in Arizona – an area we believe is one of the key growth markets in the U.S. medical cannabis sector. We remain steadfastly committed to our Solis Tek lighting division, but this purchase will make Arizona the first of hopefully many medical cannabis divisions for us in the U.S.”
About Generation Alpha, Inc.
Generation Alpha, Inc. focuses on bringing products and solutions to commercial cannabis growers in both the medical and recreational space in legal markets across the U.S. For nearly a decade, growers have used Generation Alpha’s lighting solutions to increase yield, lower costs and grow better to maximize their return on investment. Generation Alpha’s customers include retail stores, distributors, ecommerce, and commercial growers. In 2018, the Company began the process of expanding into the “touch-the-plant” side of the cannabis business. For more information, please visit our website, www.genalphainc.com
