VANCOUVER, Dec. 4, 2018 /CNW/ – Bevo Agro Inc. (TSXV: BVO) (“Bevo”) and CubicFarm Systems Corp. (“CubicFarms”) are pleased to announce the following updates regarding CubicFarms.

Increase in Equity Ownership in Edmonton Joint Venture
CubicFarms has executed a binding operating agreement with Swiss Leaf Farms that will increase CubicFarms’ equity ownership of the 12-machine operation in Edmonton from 40% to 50%. As consideration for the increase in ownership, CubicFarms will loan a further $450,000 to Swiss Leaf Farms. This loan will be in the form of a zero-interest shareholder loan, repayable in five years. In addition to the previously disclosed capital arranged for this facility, the remainder of the facility will be funded by a loan from the Bank of Montreal. CubicFarms is currently in the process of installing machines at Swiss Leaf Farms and expects the facility will be operational by the end of this year.

Signed Equipment Sale Agreement for a 12 Growing Machine Facility
CubicFarms is excited to announce that it has executed an equipment sale agreement with a third-party located in Richmond, British Columbia. This equipment sale agreement is for 12 growing machines, two germination machines and one irrigation machine (collectively, a “System”). This will be the fifth CubicFarms facility in Canada and is expected to be installed in the second calendar quarter of 2019.

Strong Demand for Produce Grown in Pitt Meadows
CubicFarms is now shipping produce from its Pitt Meadows, British Columbia facility to local retailers, including Fresh Street Market and IGA. CubicFarms sold out of all produce on November 29, 2018. This was the first time CubicFarms’ wholly-owned Pitt Meadows facility sold out of all produce.

“We are extremely excited to increase our ownership in the Swiss Leaf Farms facility and to have executed a sale agreement for another System,” said Dave Dinesen, Chief Executive Officer of CubicFarms. “The demand for our produce shows that the market is strong for fresh, local, sustainably grown produce.”

As previously announced on October 4, 2018, Bevo and Sun Pharm Investments Ltd. have entered into an arrangement agreement with respect to a reverse take-over of Bevo the distribution of shares of CubicFarms to Bevo shareholders by way of a plan of arrangement (collectively, the “Transaction”).
